Rhizobius nigripennis Fauvel, 1903: 322.
Rhyzobius nigripennis Bielawski 1973: 387.
This is an endemic species which was first documented by two specimens from Nouméa (Fauvel Collection in IRSNB in Brussels). This taxon was subsequently reviewed by Bielawski (1973) and Tomaszewska (2010). This last author identified it from numerous localities all over New Caledonia, mostly from rain forest areas, on both ultramafic (Mt Do, Canala) and non-ultramafic soils (Mt Aoupinié, Mts Koghi, Thoven) on both the east and west coasts, but also from maquis shrubland in the South (Chutes de la Madeleine, Col de Mouirange). From field observations, we documented this Rhyzobius as a predator of diaspidids belonging to the genera Pinnaspis and Aspidiotus.

description: According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer is more lethal than any other type of cancer. Nearly 160,000 deaths are estimated to have resulted from lung cancer in the United States in 2009. Research suggests that one reason these cancers do not respond well to current treatments is that lung cancer cells spread more rapidly than other cancer cells. In healthy cells a careful balance is maintained between proteins that promote cell growth and reproduction and proteins that promote cell death. This balance is disrupted in cancer cells resulting in an increase in proteins that lead to cancer cell growth and reproduction. While the majority of current and proposed cancer treatments attempt to control the behavior of these proteins in cells, more effective treatments may be possible by controlling the production of these proteins. Each cell contains numerous types of proteins, each with a specific function. All protein production begins in the nucleus of the cell when a particular transcription factor protein (TF) binds to specific sections of DNA. These sections contain codes for the production of specific proteins. The TF then essentially “reads out” the codes for the proteins that correspond to each DNA section and sends the information to other areas of the cell that can make those particular proteins. It has been proposed that blocking the binding of these TF’s to the sections of DNA that contain the code for proteins that promote cancer cell growth and/or prevent cancer cell death would lead to a reduction in the ability of cancer cells to survive and spread. Researchers have recently identified the Hedgehog pathway as a chain of proteins that activate the TF that ultimately sends the codes for the production of proteins needed for the growth and reproduction of lung cancer cells. The Dervan laboratory has developed a class of molecules that when introduced to a cell can bind with a section of DNA and block a TF from reading a specific code. This project proposes the development of one of these molecules that will bind to DNA and block the Hedgehog-related TF from “reading out” the codes for the production of the proteins that are necessary for lung cancer cells to grow and spread. If the outcome of this research is successful, it may lead to an effective treatment and a more positive outcome for patients diagnosed with lung cancer.

This species was described from New Caledonia, and considered as an endemic species until a recent review by Tomaszewska (2010). Its range encompasses all Australian states. It is considered to be an autochthonous species in New Caledonia.
The species description by Montrouzier was accompanied by an infrapaginal note, which has been attributed to his metropolitan correspondent: “This insect arrived in bad condition, and then was unable to be identified”. Therefore, Bielawski (1973) established his review on specimens from Fauvel’s collection, in Brussels. This author made a redescription where he illustrated male genitalia, but he did not assign a lectotype. Tomaszewska (2010) established a lectotype and a paralectotype from the Fauvel collection (respectively a male from Canala County and a male from Boulari in Mont-Dore County). This species is recorded from the east and west coasts (Nouméa, Mont-Dore, Canala). Uncommon in the wild, we consider this species as a scale-feeding specialist.

description: Cigarette smoking is the major cause of lung cancer. Lung cancer denominates the uncontrolled growth of lung tissue in the form of tumors. Often the primary tumors metastasize, i.e. they spread to other parts of the lung or different organs, where they form secondary tumors and thereby destroy healthy tissue. Most lung tumors are diagnosed relatively late at a time when metastases have already formed. At this stage there are very few or no therapies that effectively slow down cancer progression or even cure cancer. This is why mortality of lung cancers is particularly high, with five-year-survival rates being as low as 15 %. It is therefore a central challenge to understand the mechanisms that underlie tumor growth and metastasis. Knowledge of the cellular components and their respective role in cancer progression will help to devise strategies to target these components. Cigarette smoke induces mutations in the genetic material. These changes can lead to unbalanced proliferation or survival signals in the cell causing tumor formation. Such changes can, for example, induce pathologically up-regulation of the enzyme phosphoinositol-3-kinase. This enzyme phosphorylates special lipids – called phosphoinositides - at the plasma membrane. The modified lipids then recruit effector proteins to the plasma membrane that regulate cell proliferation, cell migration and survival. To date, it is not very well understood how PI3K is recruited to the plasma membrane, which is the first essential step of its activation mechanism. Furthermore mutations of PI3K that very moderately increase its activity induce cancer. It remains unclear how such a small change can lead to tumor development. We propose to elucidate how PI3K is recruited to membranes and to study the activation mechanism of PI3K including potential signal amplification mechanisms that are necessary for tumorigenesis. Furthermore, we are interested in a particular effector protein, Tks5, which is recruited to the plasma membrane after PI3K activation. Several findings have suggested that Tks5 is essential for tumors to invade surrounding tissue, a critical step in metastasis. We thereby hope to identify the components of a signal transduction pathway that is essential for metastasis. Inhibition of these components might help to substantially slow and completely inhibit cancer cell dissemination and thereby greatly enhance survival and cure of lung cancer patients.

Cessation and Environmental Smoking among Korean Americans

description: National average smoking rates show that Asians in the U.S. have substantially lower smoking rates (11-15%), compared with the general population (22%). Perhaps due to this reason, tobacco-related research has been scant with respect to Asian populations in the U.S. However, national-level surveys overlook important subethnic groups variations in tobacco use. In particular, Korean Americans have the highest smoking rates among males (36.7%) and overall lower quit rates, compared to other Asian groups. Also, Korean male immigrants who have less familiarity with the mainstream culture are more likely to smoke and are less likely to quit than those men who have more familiarity. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge about status of tobacco cessation among Korean Americans, especially pertaining to specific cessation methods used and cultural factors influencing smoking cessation. Similarly, information about habits relating to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure (i.e., second/thirdhand smoking) among Korean Americans is scarce. Given the high smoking rates among Koreans in the U.S., health implication of ETS exposure of other Korean Americans calls for further investigation. Moreover, despite the continued increase in smoking rates of emerging adults (18-24 years), it is not clear whether this increased smoking rates applies to Korean Americans. Therefore, the proposed study will target Korean American emerging adults to study cessation and habits and attitudes relating to ETS exposure. The current study will consist of two phases. In Phase 1, a series of focus group discussion sessions will be conducted to identify culturally-unique factors relating to tobacco cessation and ETS exposure. In Phase 2, an online survey will be conducted. Self-identifying Koreans/Korean Americans, 18-24 years of age (i.e., emerging adults), regardless of smoking status, will be targeted. The results of the proposed study will elucidate disparities in smoking cessation, ETS exposure, habits and beliefs relating to ETS among Korean American emerging adults. Also, results will help identify unique cultural factors of such disparities. Finally, the study results will help health-care providers who serve Korean communities to design more effective and culturally-tailored health communication programs regarding smoking cessation and ETS prevention in California.

description: Rhyzobius wanati Tomaszewska
Rhyzobius wanati Tomaszewska, 2010: 227.
This species resembles R. nigripennis but is distinctive because of its black cordiform elytra without contrasting marking (Tomaszewska 2010). This endemic species has been recently described from specimens from Mt Panié and Mt Aoupinié, at altitudes up to 1,300m (Tomaszewska 2010). It appears to be a forest dweller, but no information is available on its diet and ecology.
Literature records. NEW CALEDONIA: Mt. Panié, 20.33°S, 164.46°E, 1300 m, humid forest, night beating near refuge hut, 2.ii.2004 (M. Wanat rec.) (ANIC); Aoupinié, 21.09°S, 165.19°E, 420–530 m, road to sawmill, 7.ii.2004 (M. Wanat rec.) (ANIC, MIZ) (Tomaszewska 2010).

DIAGNOSIS. The species can be recognized by the long and coiled embolus, the inwardly curved retrolateral tibial apophysis in ventral view and the absence of small cusp distally on the retrolateral tibial apophysis (Figs 3, 4).
DISTRIBUTION. China (Yunnan) (World Spider Catalog, 2024), India (new record).
REMARKS. The genus Foliabitus is recorded from India for the first time. Previous report of Euophrys omnisuperstes Wanless, 1975 from northern West Bengal (Dhali et al., 2014) has been misidentified (Prószyński, 2016; Caleb, 2019) and is likely to refer to Foliabitus weihangi or another member of the genus Foliabitus.

This is the most widespread Diomus in Australia, where it has been reared on coccids from the genus Eriococcus (Slipinski 2007). In the last 30 years, it has been caught regularly on New Caledonian west coast (Port-Laguerre, Païta County) and the Central Range (Mt Kaala) (Chazeau, pers. obs.). This ladybug is also recorded from New Zealand and has been deliberately introduced to Hawaii (Leeper 1975). This species appears as a recent migrant (natural spread or accidental introduction) in New Caledonia (Chazeau, pers. obs.). No biological data are available, except feeding habit on pseudococcids and aphids.

Role of BI-1 in autophagy and lung cancer

description: Lung cancer, the most common cause of cancer-related death in men and the second most common in women, is responsible for 1.3 million deaths worldwide annually. If diagnosed early when the disease is surgically removable, chances of recovery are good, but once the cancer spreads, even aggressive chemotherapy is often ineffective. A need therefore exists to understand how lung cancer cells survive and how to more effectively kill them.

 Our goal is to study the function of an anti-death protein named BI-1, which is frequently over-produced in lung cancers. BI-1 blocks cell death induced by stimuli that commonly occur in the middle of rapidly growing tumors, where cancer cells become starved of nutrients and oxygen. Autophagy is a process by which cells survive during times of nutrient deprivation, and we have found that BI-1 regulates this mechanism. Autophagy means “self eating”, representing a way for cells to degrade their internal components to generate a source of fuel and thus maintain critical levels of energetic molecules. In many lung tumors, genes involved in autophagy are mutated, suggesting that dysregulation of autophagy contributes to lung cancer development or progression. The combined findings that BI-1 is overproduced in lung tumors and that it also modulates autophagy have encouraged us to direct our studies towards understanding how BI-1 performs its functions and how we might advantageously apply this knowledge to improve lung cancer treatment. To address these questions, we will genetically manipulate lung cancer cells to either increase or decrease the levels of the BI-1 protein. With these engineered cells, we will then assess the impact of manipulating BI-1 levels on autophagy, cell survival, and tumorigenesis through a combination of cell culture and mouse tumor model experiments. We will also study the impact of BI-1 on responses of lung cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs.

 Altogether, these investigations will help to elucidate novel mechanisms of autophagy regulation in lung cancer, while providing a window for potential application of new drugs that can target tumor cells.

description: EPILACHNINI Mulsant, 1846
This tribe is diverse and numerous in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Epilachnini are phytophagous ladybugs. Taxonomy of this tribe is complex and controversial. There is still debate between authors on the validity of Henosepilachna Li, 1961, and its possible synonymy with Epilachna Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836. But recent molecular phylogenetic analysis of Epilachnini from both genera confirmed that they belong to distinct groups (Kobayashi et al. 2009; Szawaryn et al. 2015). Our present note does not intend to resolve this nomenclatural question. So we follow the nomenclatural decisions of Bielawski (1972) regarding New Caledonian Epilachnini.

Un-cooling Smoking Using Social Identity Theory

description: Research has found that the extent to which adolescents affiliate with certain peer crowds has a marked effect on those adolescents’ smoking behavior. This project uses Social Identity Theory (Tajfel, 1978; Tajfel and Turner, 1979)as a lens through which to understand this effect. According to Social Identity Theory, individuals identify as members of social groups and categories and are likely to exhibit prototypical behaviors depending on the strength and salience of that identification. Preliminary research related to this project found, for instance, that adolescents who strongly identify as rebels are over four times more likely than those who do not to be current smokers, even after controlling for factors such as sensation seeking and social norms.

 The current project has several hypotheses. First, it is hypothesized that adolescents who identify with social categories for which smoking is prototypical (such as rebel) will be more likely to smoke, while adolescents who identify with social categories for which not smoking is prototypical will be less likely to smoke. It is also hypothesized that social identity will moderate the effects of sensation seeking, social norms and attitudes towards smoking. Finally, this project hypothesizes that social identity will moderate the effects of anti-smoking ads, such that anti-smoking ads targeting and appealing to specific social categories will be more effective in changing smoking-related beliefs, attitudes and behavioral intentions among those who strongly identify with the targeted social category. This project uses survey and experimental research to test these hypotheses.

 Ultimately, this research will offer an understanding of the mechanisms through which social identity predicts adolescent smoking behavior and of the extent to which social identity is a useful construct in the development of anti-smoking campaigns, as well as practical recommendations for health practitioners and campaign developers on how social identity can be used to design anti-tobacco interventions and campaigns.
