description: The long-term goal of this research is to develop a simple, cost-effective, and broad range screening procedure for the detection of breast cancers using a novel diagnostic marker. In the future, this research could lead to other clinical applications, including treatment.

 We have found that a protein called galectin-4 is expressed in non-invasive and invasive breast cancers but not in normal breast cells. The antibody to galectin-4 strongly stained all of the breast cancer tissues we tested, whereas the normal breast cells adjacent to the tumor did not stain. An anti-galectin-4 antibody was able to detect the presence of galectin-4 very specifically. It was possible to detect small nests of tumor cells, or even single tumor cells, in unexpected locations such as fat tissue and among aggregates of tumor associated white blood cells.

 The current view in the field of diagnostic surgical pathology is that at least some breast cancers progress through a series of pre-cancerous stages. However, existing methods do not allow for the precise determination of the point at which the pre-cancerous disease becomes cancer. Information about the presence of galectin-4 on a cell might prove extremely useful in helping us to make this distinction. The presence of galectin-4 at an early stage of non-invasive breast disease as well as in invasive cells strongly suggests that this protein is involved in the processes underlying tumor progression. Therefore, in the main project of this research we will investigate the possibility of using galectin-4 as a specific diagnostic marker of breast cancer whose patterns of expression at early stages of disease could identify those patients with a high risk of progression to aggressive cancers. We will use several alternative approaches such as nucleic acid-based probes and immunoblotting to assure correct evaluation of the galectin-4 expression in various types of early breast cancer and in different types of invasive mammary carcinomas. We will also determine whether expression of galectin-4 in presumptive pre-cancer lesions is correlated with the onset of the progression to malignancy.

 Our preliminary results show that galectin-4 modulates cellular adhesion. Therefore in the second project we will introduce galectin-4 into cultured "normal" breast epithelial cells that do not express galectin-4 and determine whether this protein can alter the proliferative and migratory properties of breast cells.

Type material. Sonan (1929) described this nominal taxon with the desiganation of the female with collection data “Funkiko (Arisan 4,600 ft.) 16.XI.1926 (Coll. J. Sonan)” as the HOLOTYPE. The holotype is in TARI and labeled “Funkiko / 16.XI.1926 / Col. J. Sonan”, Type label, “ Vespa / arisana Sonan / det. J. Sonan”, and “167”. He listed the following specimens designated as PARATYPES: 2 Ƥ, Arisan (Funkiko), 2–23.X.1918 (J. Sonan, M. Yoshino); 1 Ƥ, Horisha, V–VIII.1918 (H. Kawamura); 1 Ƥ, Taito, 25.II–27.III.1919 (S. Inamura, J. Sonan, M. Yoshino). Of these paratypes, only a single female from “Arisan” and the female from “Horisha” were located in TARI.

description: California represents the major gateway for immigration of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans (APIA) into the United States. While breast cancer remains the most common cancer site for Asian American women, information on the incidence and prevalence among Pacific Islander women is nearly nonexistent. Despite the lack of systematic epidemiological data on Pacific Islander Americans, they possess risk factors for the development of breast cancer. Finally, utilization of breast cancer screening services is predicted to be low among Pacific Islander American women.

 This two-year study will attempt to assess and analyze the breast cancer knowledge, attitude and screening behaviors of women aged 40 years and older in two Pacific Islander populations (Tongan and Chamorro, the latter of which are indigenous Guamanians) of Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties. Given the dearth of epidemiological and behavioral data on breast cancer among Pacific Islanders, the proposed research will be exploratory in nature. The major research question of the proposed project will be: What are the differences between Tongans and Chamorros in breast cancer knowledge, attitude and screening behavior? What are the predictors (e.g., age, year of immigration, ethnic identity) of Tongan and Chamorro women’s knowledge, attitude and behavior related to screening and breast cancer?

 Baseline behavioral data on breast cancer knowledge, attitudes and screening behavior will be collected from a minimum of 600 Tongan and Chamorro women aged 40 years and older. A provider survey will also be conducted in each community to identify culturally relevant providers of breast cancer information and screening services.
Effects of Stress and Support on Delay in Cancer Treatment

description: This project is a direct attempt to identify behavioral and social barriers to the early detection of breast cancer. Women recently diagnosed with primary breast cancer will be interviewed in an effort to understand the roles of both life stress and social support on their initial cancer treatment-seeking decisions. While it is fairly clear why women with more financial resources may take advantage of medical intervention sooner than women who live in poverty, it is less clear how a woman who is juggling a shaky marriage, caring for an ailing parent, or worrying about a teenager on drugs may be influenced by these factors when making decisions about her own medical care. A woman's social network may also influence how she chooses medical care upon discovery of potential cancer symptoms. Sixty women with biopsy-confirmed breast carcinoma without distant metastases (i.e., Stage I-III breast cancer) will be recruited within six months of their diagnoses through their oncology clinics. The women will be interviewed in their homes by trained clinical interviewers about the year preceding their cancer diagnosis. The interview is designed to tap 10 major areas of life experiences. The interview forms the basis for standardized ratings on a social stress rating system which provides an assessment of the degree of stress arising from different life circumstances. The women will also be asked to complete questionnaires assessing the presence and effectiveness of any social support network they identify. The onset of any symptom or health change preceding the breast cancer diagnosis will be carefully documented during the interview, and actual dates of initial treatment will be confirmed through a chart review.

 We hypothesize that the time between the onset of first cancer symptoms and the date of first cancer care will be affected by the experience of severe life events and the type of social support available during the year prior to diagnosis. We anticipate a buffering effect of social support on stress such that women who experience severe stress but who also report strong supportive networks will be less affected than women whose severe stress occurs in the absence of social support or in the context of a social network which is critical in nature.

 Knowledge about the influences of stress and social support on careseeking behavior will provide important information for interventions aimed at getting women into treatment sooner, possibly leading to better prognoses and potentially lowering breast cancer mortality rates.

description: Vespa karenkona Sonan 1929 [Vespula flaviceps (Smith 1870)]
Type material. Sonan (1929: 148) described this nominal taxon based on 3 Ƥ with the collection data “Karenkô (3000–6500 ft.), 20.VII–4.VIII.1919 (Coll. T. Okuni, J. Sonan, K. Yoshino)”. Sonan intended to designate the holotype and paratypes, and he mentioned “ Type: Body length 14 mm Wing span 23 mm (length of fore wing 10 mm. Paratype: Body length 12–14 mm. Wing span around 23 mm (length of fore wing around 10 mm)” [in Japanese]. In the description of characteristics, he referred to variations in the marking pattern of the clypeus in a rather ambiguous way in terms of the holotype designation. That is, he mentioned that “the clypeus has a dark ferruginous, longitudinal, median line, which does not reach to mid-length of the clypeus” [in Japanese], which would have been the state in the specimen that Sonan intended to designate as the holotype. Then he gave variation in parentheses that “this line varies with individuals, such that the line is medially interrupted to become spots or completely disappeared” [in Japanese]; these two states could have been of the two specimens that Sonan intended to designate as the paratypes. In TARI, there are 3 Ƥ with the same collection data and identification labels, “ Formosa / Karenko, -19. / VII 20–VIII 4. / T. Okuni, / J. Sonan, / K. Miy., M. Yosh.” and “ Vespa / karenkona Sonan / Det. J. Sonan”. The female with Type label has the head and left fore wing detached [we glued them on the attached identification label]; its body length was measured about 13 mm, the right fore wing is about 9 mm long, and the clepues has no dark marking. The other 2 Ƥ have a Paratype label: their body lengths are about 11 mm and 13 mm, and fore wing lengths are about 9.5 mm and 10.5 mm; the clypeus of the smaller specimen has a dark ferruginous, longitudinal, median band, while that of the larger specimen has only a small dark spot. This observation that only the smaller specimen has the dark median band (or line) on the clypeus suggests that his description of the variations in the marking pattern of the clypeus were not for the paratypes. In conclusion, we have treated the specimen with Type label as the originally designated holotype.
Without examining the holotype of Vespa karenkona Sonan, Yamane et al. (1980: 16) treated this taxon as a subspecies of Vespula flaviceps. Starr (1992: 109), giving “ Vespa karenkona Sonan 1929: 148 [types examined: holotype worker, 2 paratype workers]” in the synonym list of Vespula flaviceps, formally synonymized Vespa karenkona under Vespula flaviceps.

description: Current therapies and technologies to treat and detect breast cancer are not optimal. Tumor cells have elaborate mechanisms to evade drug therapy, which is especially true of chemotherapy. A more effective approach to chemotherapy would be first to render the cancer cells more sensitive. Thus, the chemotherapeutic dose could be lowered to reduce the side effects. A critical problem posed by cancer cells is their ability to selectively ‘activate’ certain genes causing unregulated cell growth. Our work focuses on a group of genes called the "immediately early genes", which play a fundamental role in the control of cell growth. One of these early genes is called c-jun. The c-jun protein acts as a regulator of gene expression, one aspect of which is to enhance DNA repair mechanisms. We have discovered that this effect is greatly increased by Jun kinase, an enzyme that phosphorylates c-jun, thereby enhancing its gene stimulating role. Thus, Jun kinase is essential in allowing breast cancer cells to escape the killing effect of certain chemotherapeutic drugs, such as the DNA-damaging agent cisplatin.

 In one phase of our research, we genetically altered various human cancer cells, including breast carcinoma cells, to produce an unphosphorylatable (inactive form) of c-jun. This c-jun competes with the normal c-jun, which effectively shuts off this pathway inside the cell. Thus, these cells grow much more slowly and fail to generate tumors in test animals. Significantly, these c-jun-defective cancer cells were sensitive to the chemotherapeutic agent, cisplatin. Our current project is to develop a new method to block c-jun in cancer cells that has potential therapeutic application. This method is called ‘antisense’. We will work with a leading pharmaceutical company in ‘antisense’ techniques, ISIS Pharmaceuticals Inc., to pursue a novel approach to block c-jun. To date, lead ‘antisense’ compounds have been developed, which work in the laboratory to block the synthesis of Jun kinase and inhibit cell growth. We are now ready to try this in human breast cancer cells to determine whether Jun kinase-targeted ‘antisense’ will both block DNA repair and sensitize these cells to killing by cisplatin. Next, we will apply the ‘antisense’ approach to treat human breast cancers grown in test animals.

 The strength of our approach rests in our ability to tackle both excess growth of tumor cells and their resistance to chemotherapy. ‘Antisense’ technology to battle breast cancer has not been fully exploited, since new cancer-specific targets constantly become available and the methodology itself is under-appreciated as an ‘adjunct’ therapy.

description: Vespa 4-maculata Sonan 1929 [Vespula flaviceps (Smith, 1870)]
Type material. Sonan (1929) described this nominal taxon based on the single female with the collection data “Arisan, IV.1914 (Coll. M. Maki)”. In TARI we located a single female (queen) with the labels of “ VI 1914 / Arisan / Col. M. Maki”, “5472”, “ Vespa sp. / Det. T. Shiraki”, “ Vespa / 4-maculata Sonan / Det. J. Sonan”, Type label, and “168”. Although the month of collection given on the label is different from that mentioned in the original description, this specimen should be the HOLOTYPE of Vespa quadrimaculata by monotypy.
Yamane et al. (1980), without examining the types of both V. quadrimaculata and V. k a re n k o n a, synonymized the former under the latter. Based on their observation on colony populations of three nests collected at Kwantauchi in Nantou, they concluded that “ quadrimaculata ” was the queen caste and “ karenkona ” was the worker caste of the same species. Starr (1992: 109), giving “ Vespa karenkona Sonan, 1929: 148 –149 [holotype queen examined]” in the synonym list of Vespula flaviceps, synonymized Vespa quadrimaculata under Vespula flaviceps.

description: Evidence from epidemiologic studies suggests that women who engage in strenuous physical activity are at a reduced risk of breast cancer. Possible biological mechanisms have been suggested to explain the influence of physical activity on breast cancer risk. Physical activity is one of several breast cancer risk factors that affect exposure to endogenous hormones.

 Strenuous physical activity has been shown to increase the age at menarche, menstrual cycle length, and number of anovulatory cycles (a menstrual cycle without release of an ovum). Furthermore, moderate physical activity has been linked to the reduction of frequency of ovulatory menstrual cycles. Despite the emergence of this relationship, several population subgroups such as postmenopausal women and premenarcheal girls have not been well studied. The objectives of the proposed research are: 1) to assess the effect of lifetime physical activity on breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women, and 2) to further clarify how physical activity influences age at puberty and ovarian hormone patterns in the years immediately following the onset of puberty.

 Data from a matched case-control study of hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer risk among postmenopausal Caucasian women age 55 or older will be utilized to address the first objective. A total of 1510 case-control pairs (women who have had breast cancer and women who have not had breast cancer, matched by age, race/ethnicity, and neighborhood) provided detailed information on their lifetime participation in physical activities. Appropriate statistical techniques will judge the possible effect of physical activity on breast cancer risk.

 Data from a cohort study of 1200 predominately Hispanic school children from the 4th through the 7th grades will be utilized to address the second objective. Data on physical activity and menarche status is available for 808 girls. Hormonal status and physical activity data has been collected on 345 girls. Again, appropriate statistical techniques will be used to estimate the effect of physical activity on hormonal status.

 Results from this study could further clarify the link between lifestyle factors and hormonal events among adolescent girls. Furthermore, identification of physical activity as a possible protective factor among postmenopausal women could provide an intervention tool to assist the effort to reduce breast cancer incidence among women in California.

description: Virtually all types of cancer are caused by mutations in specific genes. These mutations can be inherited but most often occur during life. It seems likely that a number of genes are responsible for generating breast cancer. Our objective is to analyze a few well-described genes, located in a region of chromosome 17, for their involvement in breast cancer. Various studies have strongly implicated this chromosomal region in breast cancer. Moreover, the genes under study are of interest because these or highly related genes have been shown to be involved in the development of specific types of human leukemia. This link with carcinogenesis and their location in these areas of chromosome 17 implicated in breast cancer justifies a detailed analysis of these genes (named ABR and CRK) in breast cancer.

 The analysis of protein from breast tumor samples led us to conclude that, at least for the ABR gene, the amount of protein is likely to be abnormal in breast cancer. Moreover, analysis of several breast cancer cell lines confirmed our previous observations that one of these makes virtually no ABR gene product at all. Studies are underway to analyze the molecular defect in the ABR gene in this cell line. Finally, our preliminary data suggest that another gene under study in our lab is highly implicated in cancer development, and is also located on chromosome 17 in a region known to be affected in breast cancer. If either of these genes are found to be involved in breast cancer this will have an immediate impact on the improved diagnosis, since the identified of breast cancer gene(s) may allow for the rapid development of tools that can be used for the early detection of this type of cancer. Moreover, the ABR and CRK genes could be targets for new breast cancer therapies as it will likely provide a significant breakthrough in our understanding of the disease’s etiology.

description: Normal development, including generation of a properly functioning breast with the ability to synthesize milk proteins, requires cells to turn individual genes on and off at the appropriate times. In some cases, a single gene can make two products with different functions, by splicing in (retaining) or splicing out (removing) an internal part of the coding sequence. This splicing choice can be regulated to allow the cell to make predominantly one spliced product at one stage of development, and the alternate spliced form at another stage of development. Our proposal will study how this splicing process works in specialized breast "epithelial" cells, and will investigate whether such splicing events are common among epithelial genes.

 We hypothesize that mammary epithelial cells make splicing factor protein(s) whose very specialized function is to decide which of the two spliced products will be made by a gene at a particular stage of development. Further, we propose that changes in the master splicing proteins will lead to changes in other genes' splicing, and ultimately to development of a growing immature cell into a specialized nondividing mammary epithelial cell. We believe this process is essential to prevent unregulated cell growth, i.e. cancer.

 We will use cloning techniques to study several important genes during the process of mammary epithelial cell maturation in culture. For each gene we will ask whether its major product is similar in less vs. more mature cells, i.e., whether changes in splicing have occurred. For one case in which we have already identified a change in splicing as the immature cells develop into specialized mammary epithelial cells, we will make mutations in the spliced portion of the gene to identify regions necessary for control of the splicing decision. The goal will be to understand why the spliced region is "spliced out" in immature cells and "spliced in" in more mature cells – i.e., to understand the mechanism of this splicing "switch". In the final portion of the proposal, we will test the function of a candidate splicing factor. We will ask whether this factor is directly involved in the splicing switch, by increasing or decreasing the level of this protein and observing whether changes in the splicing switch occur.

 Although the role of splicing is well established as an important mechanism in normal general cell differentiation, little is known about this process in mammary epithelial cells. Furthermore, it has been shown that disruption of splicing occurs in several disease models and in various types of cancers. We propose that our studies represent a beginning towards understanding a critical mechanism for gene regulation in normal mammary cell biology. In the future, understanding the key splicing factor proteins that function in mammary cells may provide targets for cancer therapy.

description: This program is the culmination of a four-year process during which a wide range of agencies, interest groups and citizens have worked together to identify issues of concern, review draft recommendations and debate public policy on the coast. In the past year, for example, the Department of Environmental Protection held a series of public meetings and workshops to discuss the Coastal Management Strategy (September 1977), and, on the basis of the public comments, prepared the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (May 1978) for this program. At my direction, the Department of Environmental Protection then convened an even more extensive series of public hearings and informal workshops. The public comments made at those meetings, and in writing, led to further improvements included in this document.

description: The advancing digitalization has revolutionized the workplace, with virtual teams gaining increasing importance. In this context, transformational leadership plays a key role in promoting employee engagement. This leadership style is characterized by inspiration, individual development, and a clear vision, which is particularly important in virtual teams. This paper examines how transformational leadership behavior influences engagement in virtual teams and the challenges and opportunities that come with it. Despite the technical and geographical barriers that often shape virtual teams, research shows that transformational leadership can lead to higher motivation and performance through clear communication, trust, and the promotion of individual strengths. The paper highlights that, through targeted leadership strategies, employee engagement and productivity can be significantly improved. Finally, practical implications and recommendations for leaders are provided to leverage the potential of transformational leadership in virtual teams.
