description: We propose to combine an existing positron emission tomography (PET) detector system, built previously, with a dedicated breast computed tomography (CT) system built with prior California CBCRP, as well as NIH resources. By combining the functional (physiological) image information derived from PET with the excellent anatomical detail provided by breast CT, we anticipate that a more quantitative assessment of breast cancer aggressiveness can be made, and that the fused PET/CT image data sets will provide physicians with better information to optimize the therapeutic treatment of breast cancer on a patient-by-patient basis.

 The current project involves the engineering (electrical, mechanical, and computational) development of a combined PET/CT system capable of imaging only the breast, and this sets the stage for addressing the clinical utility after the breast PET/CT scanner is ready. Thus, we plan to build a working PET/CT system dedicated for breast imaging, using existing hardware. Four specific aims will be utilized to reach this objective: (1) upgrade the PET electronics, and develop PET reconstruction algorithms specific to the geometry of the newly proposed system, (2) physically and electronically integrate the PET hardware with the existing breast CT scanner gantry, (3) develop calibration techniques for the co-alignment of PET and CT breast images, and finally (4) measure the sensitivity and quantitative accuracy of the breast PET/CT. To accomplish our aims, we will upgrade the electronics on the PET system to improve sensitivity and mathematical algorithms will be written to robustly reconstruct the images acquired with the PET hardware. The PET detector system will be physically mounted onto the existing breast CT gantry. A system of breast-equivalent phantoms which simulate the anatomical and physiological characteristics of breast cancer will be built and used to optimize the image acquisition of the hybrid PET/CT breast scanner. At the end of this developmental project, we anticipate having a working breast PET/CT system, capable of imaging patient volunteers.

description: Verrucella pinnata Fernando, 2011 (species status uncertain)
Verrucella pinnata Fernando, 2011: 120–121, pl. 81, fig. 1–1d (Nagapatinam); Fernando et al. 2017: 278, pl. 130, fig. 1–1d (Nagapatinam).
Opinion: This species does occur in the region but its status is uncertain and it is probably the same as some of the other Verrucella species described by Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al. (2017).
Justification:
These Indian records appear to represent identical species: Fernando et al., 2017: 266, pl. 124, fig. 1–1d (SE coast); Fernando, 2011: 119–120, pl. 79, fig. 1–1d (between Puducherry and Cuddalore); Fernando et al. 2017: 272, pl. 127, fig. 1–1d (between Puducherry and Cuddalore).
Literature analysis: The descriptions of the Indian material by Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al. (2017) are identical, but without more detailed descriptions and larger illustrations of the sclerites it would be difficult to recognise their species, and without a revision of the genus it would probably be impossible to assess its status. The specimen used by these authors has a bilateral polyp distribution, and on the data available, and allowing for some slight differences in sclerite dimensions (where they are known) it is not possible to distinguish this taxon from the those described by these authors as Verrucella dichromata Fernando, 2017 and Verrucella ixoboloides Fernando, 2011, and the material they assigned to Verrucella diadema Grasshoff, 1999, and they may all be the same as some of the material used for their description of Verrucella umbraculum (Ellis & Solander, 1786).

description: Problem: As the United States Department of Education prepares to reauthorize ESEA once more, it does so in light of the reality that over 80% of schools will be considered in need of improvement by 2014 according to the adequate yearly progress targets (Duncan, 2011).  Politicians, educators, and the general citizenry of the United States are concerned with how effective public schools are at educating our children; however, the current measurement of success is based heavily upon performance on high stakes assessments. Unfortunately, responding to NCLB demands are not the only things on the mind of school leaders. On any given day, there are a number of pressures that principals must consider in order to effectively manage the administrative and instructional aspects of running a school. Guided by the following research questions, this study explores how forces that are both internal and external to the principal influence the ways school leaders conceptualize and respond to accountability.   • To whom or what do principals feel most accountable?   • How do forces internal and external to the principal shape their conceptions of multiple sources of accountability?   • How does it happen differently in high and low performing schools?   • How does it happen differently in contexts that vary according to SES?  • How do principals’ conceptions of accountability shape what they do to promote student achievement?  Method:  This phenomenological collective case study collected data from 25 public middle school principals throughout New Jersey who lead schools that varied in socioeconomic and academic performance contexts. A pre-interview survey and follow up interview provided the basis for the data collection. The transcribed interviews were coded and analyzed according to the conceptual framework and research questions that guided the inquiry.  Findings: Accountability to self is the most prominent source of accountability among the middle school principals in this study despite the prevalence of external accountability forces. When adding those who feel most accountable to teachers, it is apparent that most principals from higher achieving schools respond first to an internal accountability mechanism. Principals who identify an external source of accountability as most salient exhibit common attributes according to the school’s improvement status, SES, and academic achievement.   Significance:  Although public and political attention is often focused on test-based accountability, there are other sources of accountability that receive less attention, especially as it relates to school leadership. This study adds to the research on the topic of educational accountability and leadership practices by exploring the concept from the perspective of a principal. As a result of the findings, the study also supports a better understanding of the perceptions of internal accountability among school leaders.

description: Early events in breast cancer progression are critical to the understanding of the disease, and critical to the development of new therapies and strategies for prevention. In mammary cancer, evidence points to early evolutionary cellular divergence and cancer fate commitment. We believe that all of the genetic changes that commit a mammary cell to become a cancer occur before a morphologic lesion is formed. We believe these changes commit the cell to become a cancer with specific “behavioral properties”, and that this commitment does not depend on, nor does it diverge based upon additional molecular "hits". Mouse models of mammary cancer progression permit experimental evaluation of the behavior and biology of disease that is impossible to study in humans.

 We have generated and characterized specific genetically engineered and micro-anatomically defined mouse mammary epithelia with properties critical to the understanding of mammary cancer progression. Specifically, these epithelia have precise features of human mammary pre-cancer (DCIS, ductal carcinoma in situ) with consistent progression to invasive carcinoma, and consistent metastatic behavior. The system provides a window to study the early evolution of mammary cancer.

 We propose to use our novel mouse model system to define pre-cancer cell populations and characterize their biologic potential. The following specific aims will be pursued:

 1. Assess clonal selection and genomic alterations in mammary pre-cancer

 2. Characterize the cell types in mammary pre-cancer.

 Using time honored techniques of mammary serial transplantation, specific lesions from genetically engineered mice (GEM) will be isolated and the biologic potential experimentally defined. These are defined by the "test-by-transplantation" as mammary intraepithelial neoplasia outgrowths (MIN-Os). Dissected tissues will be characterized for gene expression and DNA content. Using immunohistochemistry (IHC), mammary epithelial dissociation techniques, flow cytometry and cell sorting, specific cell subsets will be isolated and tested by re-transplantation for their biologic potential.

 Our future aim is to genetically manipulate pre-cancerous breast cells and test them in our mouse models of mammary pre-cancer. The NCI Breast Cancer Progress Review Group has specified a priority to identify the earliest changes in the initiation of breast cancer. The group highlighted the importance of mammary stem cell biology and the manipulation of mouse mammary tissue in this priority, and recognized the need for experimentally defined assessment of biologic potential using techniques for mouse mammary gland manipulation including transplantation and genetic engineering.

Verrucella rubra Thomson & Henderson, 1905: 315–315, pl. 4, fig. 13; pl. 5, fig. 8 (Gulf of Mannar).
Opinion: This species does occur in the region, but its true identity is unknown.
Justification:
These Indian records seem to be either invalid or unconfirmable: Thomas & George 1986: 110, fig. 1t, 1–3 (SW coast; Gulf of Mannar).
Literature analysis: This species was established for a badly damaged specimen from the Sri Lankan side of the Gulf of Mannar, but it is unrecognisable from the original poor description and has never been redescribed. Nevertheless, Kükenthal (1924) synonymised the species under Gorgonella umbraculum (Ellis & Solander, 1786), which was also unrecognisable at the time: a neotype for that species was designated by Bayer & Grasshoff (1994).
Without knowing the characters of the species, Thomas & George (1986) assigned material to it under the old genus Gorgonella, but that cannot be validated until the original material is redescribed. Verrucella rubra is not currently in the WoRMS database. Thomas & George (1987) just listed the species.

The Androgen Receptor and Mammographic Density

description: The androgen receptor (AR) is a steroid hormone receptor that is expressed in breast tissue and mediates the affects of the steroid hormones, testosterone and 5 -dihydrotestosterone. Normal variation in the AR gene, referred to as AR polymorphism, has been directly correlated with level of AR activity. Two studies support the hypothesis that the less active AR is associated with an increased risk for breast cancer. Contradictory results were reported in a third study that shows that the more active AR is associated with increased breast cancer tumor grade, an indicator of more advanced disease. No study has evaluated the association between AR polymorphism and mammographic density.

 Mammographic density is a well-established breast cancer risk factor. I propose to test the hypothesis that there is an association between AR activity, measured by genotyping the AR polymorphism, and percent mammographic density. I will also test whether AR polymorphism is associated with more advanced forms of breast cancer.

 This study will use biological samples, mammographic density assessments, and risk factor information collected on a sample of 396 cases as part of both the Women's Contraceptive and Reproductive Experiences (CARE) study in Los Angeles County (PI: Leslie Bernstein) and the Radiographic Densities and Breast Cancer Prevention study funded by the CBCRP (PIs: Malcolm Pike and Giske Ursin). The biological samples will be genotyped for the AR polymorphism. Standard statistical and epidemiologic multivariate methods will be used to model the association between AR variants and mammographic density, tumor size, stage, grade, and nodal status.

 This study will further our understanding of the role of the AR in breast cancer in innovative ways. Through use of data from ongoing epidemiologic studies of breast cancer, this will be the first study to be able to evaluate whether variation in the AR gene, a noninvasive biomarker of breast cancer risk, is associated with mammographic density. In addition, this study will have the unique ability to clarify whether AR activity may influence development of advanced breast cancer.

description: Cancer is a complex disease that develops when cells loose the ability to control their rates of proliferation. Moreover, these cells have developed mechanisms that allow them to not only proliferate rapidly, but also to overcome signals that tell them to die. Over the past few years, It has become evident that fat is a key regulator of tumor cell growth. Unfortunately though, we have few hints as to how fat regulates tumor cells. Here, I have planned studies to determine how fat controls cell growth. Results from my work are likely to yield new strategies for treating breast cancer, both with drugs and by dietary alterations.

 Orlistat is an FDA approved drug for treating obesity. My sponsor has discovered that orlistat has an unanticipated effect; it inhibits fat production by tumor cells. More importantly, orlistat is able to selectively kill tumor cells. Yet, we have no information on why orlistat has this effect. Thus, I plan to answer the following questions:

 -How does orlistat stop tumor cell growth?

 -Why does orlistat induce the selective death of tumor cells?

 -What other genes and proteins are involved in this unique fat-regulated cell death pathway?

 I will be using standard cell biology and cellular biochemistry techniques. All of my work will be conducted in tumor cells in culture.

 The proposed study has two innovative elements. First, I am studying a unique activity of orlistat, a drug approved for treating obesity. My sponsor’s laboratory has discovered that orlistat can selectively kill tumor cells. This gives us a new lead into approaches for drug design. The second aspect of my proposal is the way I plan to figure out how orlistat is working and to identify genes that are controlled by orlistat.

Scirpearia alba Simpson 1910: 88, figs. 64–65 (Bay of Bengal).
Opinion: This species does occur in the region.
Justification:
These Indian records appear to represent an identical species: Fernando, 2011: 112–113, pl. 71, figs, 1–1c (Cuddalore, SE coast); Fernando et al. 2017, 246, pl. 114, figs. 1–1c (Cuddalore, SE coast).
Literature analysis: Thomson & Henderson (1906) established this species as Scirpirella alba for a specimen from the Bay of Bengal, describing the sclerites as including spindles up to 0.19 mm long, which do not match the few figured sclerites. Simpson (1910) later transferred the species to the genus Scirpearia with a few more sclerite figures, two drawings of colony portions, and updating the sclerite dimensions so there were none longer than 0.15 mm. The taxon is accepted as a species of Viminella and the material described as Viminella dissimilis n. sp. by Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al. (2017) seems to be the same as Viminella alba.

description: In 1937, a traffic expert (Freedman) recommended a plan to resolve traffic problems in New Brunswick.  The plan proposes making alternate streets in the city ONE WAY STREETS, throughout the crowded areas.  STOP SIGNS are placed on cross streets approaching the main one-way thoroughfares.  When funds are available the breaking through of John Street to Dennis Street, and eventually to Albany Street, is proposed to make a continuous one-way street.  Breaking through of Kirkpatrick Street to Albany Street in also included in the plan.  It was estimated that the basic plan could be placed in effect immediately at a cost of about $1,000 (covering the cost of one-way and stop signs).

description: Many patients treated for breast cancer will have their cancer recur, often after a long remission period. This suggests there are a small number of tumor cells that remain alive after treatment. Our goal is to explore ways to harness the immune system to find and destroy tumor cells. However, early attempts to increase anti-breast tumor immunity have been sub-optimal, so achieving significant clinical benefit has been elusive. Using the most potent antigen-presenting cell in the immune system, the dendritic cell (DC), we might be able to increase the immune response. Recently, techniques have been developed for studying these very potent cells in both human and animal model systems. DCs can engulf, or "feed on", dead cells and can make the immune system “see” portions of the surviving tumor. Tumor cells can die in two different ways, either apoptosis or necrosis. DCs respond differently to cells that die in these alternate ways, and we do not know which type of cell death is best for the DC function in promoting tumor immunity.

 The aim of this project is to combine DC-based immunotherapy with photodynamic therapy (PDT), which is a treatment method that involves administering a drug, which is harmless by itself, but when exposed to light causes cell damage and death. This cell death occurs only in the area exposed to the light and for the period that the light is on. Different light doses in PDT cause either apoptotic or necrotic cell death. PDT has been used for the treatment of pre-malignant conditions, skin disorders, and palliation of several tumors. Although this treatment provides very good local effects, it does not treat metastatic disease. We will establish tumors in animals (rats), then treat the tumors with 5-ALA (5-aminolevulinic acid), which is converted to ”photosensitive” protoporpyrin IX in tissues. We can then illuminate tumors with 630 nm laser light for various times and intensities to achieve either necrotic or apoptotic cell death. In parallel studies, we will harvest bone marrow DCs, stimulate them using in vitro culture conditions, and re-inject them into tumors after PDT treatment. Because activation of DCs is associated with migration to lymph nodes, we will evaluate DC ”trafficking” from PDT-treated tumors to the local, draining lymph nodes. We will also assess whether the combined immunophototherapy is more effective than PDT alone in treating established tumors.

 Combining PDT with DC-based immunotherapy is a new and previously unexplored concept that adapts two distinct approaches to develop a potentially more effective therapy for breast cancer.
A New Genetic Vaccine Therapy for Breast Cancer

description: Approximately 50% of patients with breast cancer will recur, often after long periods without obvious tumor being present. This suggests that there are a small number of tumor cells that remain alive after standard treatment(s). Just as with infectious disease vaccines, anti-tumor vaccines try to vigorously stimulate a patient's immune system to identify and eliminate these residual tumor cells. Early attempts to increase the immune response against various tumors have been sub-optimal, so clinical benefit has been elusive. By taking advantage of the most potent antigen-presenting cell in the immune system, the dendritic cell, we might be able to overcome this sub-optimal immune response. We have a vaccine vector (i.e., a delivery vehicle), called VEE Replicon vector, which can target these dendritic cells in vivo. The use of this new vaccine system will allow for the preferential use of the most potent antigen presenting cells to optimally stimulate the immune system to identify and eliminate the patient's tumor cells. In our animal model, we have preliminary evidence that this new vaccine system can provide very potent stimulation to the immune system. These studies were in rats, and were directed against the rat equivalent of human Her-2/neu.

 In this project we will demonstrate that the use of this vaccine system results in the capacity of the immune system to vigorously destroy breast cancer tumor cells. We will study how best to administer this vaccine system, characterize the exact nature of the resultant immune response, and define which parts of the immune system responsible for rejecting the tumor. Finally, we will demonstrate that the vaccine system can eliminate a pre-existing tumor. These experiments will continue to use rats, but the results would be quite relevant to human breast cancer. A portion of rat Her-2/neu has been selected as the prototypical target antigen for the development and evaluation of potential cancer vaccines. Rats will be vaccinated with different doses either into muscle or under the skin and then given a challenge of live tumor cells. We will gain knowledge about dose and route of vaccination, and about the immune system cells involved in the actual killing of tumor cells. After these preliminary studies, tumors will be grown in rats prior to a series of vaccinations. This will indicate whether this genetic vaccine approach can "treat" tumor. We believe that this situation more closely resembles the human clinical situation.

 Our research is innovative because it is the first evaluation of an anti-tumor genetic vaccine strategy using the VEE vector with demonstrated capacity to target dendritic cells. We hope that this study will lead to human clinical trials for a strategy to target breast cancer in its dormant state following therapy, but prior to recurrence.

description: Verrucella umbella (Esper, 1798)
Gorgonia umbella Esper, 1798: v2, p. 30, t. 53, f. 1.2 (Bay of Bengal?)
Opinion: This species possibly occurs in the region but its true identity is unknown.
Justification:
These Indian records seem to be either invalid or unconfirmable: Thomson & Simpson 1909: 272–274, pl. 8, fig. 8&10 (Puri; Kanyakumari) (as Gorgonella umbella); Thomas & George 1990: 422, fig. 1h, 1–3; pl. 1B (off Mumbai) (as Gorgonella umbella); Thomas et al. 1995: 141 (NE coast) (as Gorgonella umbella).
Literature analysis: This species was originally described as Gorgonia umbella, possibly from the Bay of Bengal, and included a colony figure. Ridley (1887) could not have known the nature of the sclerites when he recorded the species from the Mergui Archipelago, transferring it to the genus Gorgonella and not providing any illustrations. Likewise, without knowledge of the microscopic details, Thomson & Simpson’s (1909) claim to have specimens of Gorgonella umbella from several Indian locations is unproven, as is the extensive list of synonyms given by Kükenthal (1924).
The species is accepted as a Verrucella, but unless Esper’s original specimen is still in existence and is someday redescribed, the characteristics of the species will never be known. Therefore, there is no way of knowing if the material recorded by Thomas & George (1990) and Thomas et al. (1995) under the old name Gorgonella umbella is the same as this species.

Lasp-1 Signaling in Breast Carcinoma Cell Invasion/Migration

publisherIdentifierScheme: ROR

description: Lasp-1 is a gene that is linked to breast cancer in humans. Clinical studies indicate that the lasp-1 gene can be found in 8-12% breast cancer cells. We propose to study the mechanism by which lasp-1 gene induces the spread of the cancer cells from the primary site (i.e. breast) to distant sites within the body such as the lungs and bones. Since this is the primary reason that cancer patients die, it is important, scientifically, to understand how this gene causes the spread of cancer so that specific medical treatment can be developed to stop the spread of this disease and increase patient survival.

 The hypotheses of our proposal are (i) Lasp-1 is a protein that plays an important role in breast cancer cell migration and invasion into surrounding tissues and distant sites. (ii) A region (s) of Lasp-1 protein is (are) responsible for the spread of breast cancer. Our preliminary data shows that Lasp-1 is involved in the spread of cancer cells and we hypothesized that a specific part of this protein is involved in this process. We have showed that overproduction of this protein in breast cancer cells increases the movement of the cells. We will also prove that this protein is necessary for the increase for the cell movement by blocking Lasp-1 production in cells. The region (s) of Lasp-1 that are important for cancer cell spreading will be determined by generating mutants defective in certain parts of the protein followed by functional migration and invasion studies.

 We propose to investigate the role of Lasp-1 in breast cancer invasion, which has not been studied previously even though it was originally found to be over-produced in breast cancer cells. Results from the studies in this proposal will help define the role of protein signals in the development of metastatic breast cancer induced by Lasp-1. Such information may lead to the development of specific drugs or agents directed at blocking Lasp-1 and/or in downstream signals in breast cancer patients.
