title: RUNX1 plays opposing roles in breast cancer in estrogen-dependent manner

description: RUNX1 plays a tumor suppressor role in ER+ breast cancer, but is associated with aggressive behavior of ER- breast cancer cells in vivo and in vitro. It is not known, however, if and how E2 modulates RUNX1 activity in ER+ cells. Here， we use MCF7/ShRx13’UTRDox cell line to show the oncogene role of RUNX1 in the absent of estrogen in vitro by migration assay and invasion assay. To explain the mechanism of the oncogene function of RUNX1, we use RT-qPCR to test the expression of related genes including SNAI2 CTGF SMAD3 FN1. We also use the same technique to study the function of RUNX1 with the present of anti-estrogen therapy in normal condition. Our data suggests that RUNX1 is an oncogene in MCF7 cell line without estrogen by upregulating other oncogenes but a TSG in MCF7 cell line with E2 in vitro. RUNX1 is an TSG in MCF7 cell line in complete medium but lose the TSG function with anti-estrogen drugs tamoxifen and ICI. RUNX1 gains oncogene function in the present of anti-estrogen drugs in MCF7 cells in vitro by increasing the express level of other oncogenes. Anti-estrogen drugs are more effective when the cells cannot express RUNX1. This research can combine with the similar research done in RUNX2 to help us understanding specific molecular mechanisms of runt homology domain family of transcription factors in ER+ BCa. At the same time, the results of this study may also affect clinical application of anti-estrogen therapy for the RUNX1 positive breast cancer patients.

title: Mai Nguyen
title: They Killed Our Country

description: Mai Nguyen is a survivor of the American War in Vietnam with a unique perspective and a compelling story. Ms. Nguyen was born in 1957 and lived in Saigon, Vietnam until her escape in 1980. Ms. Nguyen and her family were South Vietnamese who witnessed the American military influence and considered them a good symbol to keep Vietnam intact from communism. After the fall of Saigon in 1975, Ms. Nguyen witnessed first hand the oppression brought by communism and the elimination of freedom. In 1980 she decided to escape with her baby boy to international waters. However, in her escape, she became part of what is called the “boat people” and she encountered a hard and arduous journey. Pirates held up her boat various times, people around her were mugged, raped, and beaten—fortunately her strong will and faith in God saved her. Upon docking she arrived in Thailand as a refugee. Later, she moved to Canada, opened two successful restaurants and has been an anti-communist activist for the Vietnamese Community ever since. Ms. Nguyen later immigrated to the United States and her transition was also not easy. However, after confronting hardships in America she finally found peace.

title: Hemin-mediated transcriptional regulation of 5-lipoxygenase activating protein and leukotriene C4 synthase in monocytic cells

description: Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) exhibit high circulating leukotriene (LT) levels compared to normal individuals. LT is a mediator of inflammation, promoting asthma and airway hyper-responsiveness (AH). Asthmatic symptoms are frequently observed in patients with SCD and it has been shown to increase morbidity and mortality in patients with SCD. In this study, we determined the role of hemin in the regulation of LTs in monocytic THP-1 cell line. We demonstrated that hemin induces 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) mRNA and protein expression while suppressing leukotriene C4 synthase (LTC4S) mRNA and protein expression. Luciferase reporter assay identified that hemin mediated transcriptional activation of FLAP involves activation of HIF1α. Furthermore, transfection with KLF4 and KLF6 expression plasmids showed induction of LTC4S mRNA expression, indicating the involvement of KLFs in LTC4S transcription. Taken together, this study helps to elucidate the mechanism of hemin-induced LT synthesis and provides insight into new therapeutic targets for inflammation and asthmatic consequences of SCD.

title: Motivational influences in distance education: the role of interest, self-efficacy, and self-regulation

description: Unrestricted This study investigates possible relationships among motivational and learning variables (interest, self-efficacy, and self-regulation) and three types of student engagement (behavioral engagement, emotional engagement, and cognitive engagement) in a distance education setting. Participants were 203 students enrolled in online classes in the fall semester of 2008 in the Schools of Gerontology and Engineering at a university in the southwestern U.S. who completed an online survey assessing their levels of situational interest, computer self-efficacy, self-regulation, and engagement in distance education. Situational interest and self-regulation were found to be significantly correlated with three types of engagement (behavioral, emotional, and cognitive), while computer self-efficacy did not appear to be associated with any of those engagement variables. Results suggested that online activities and tools such as multimedia and discussion boards may increase student engagement in online learning, although they do not necessarily increase behavioral or cognitive engagement; that educators should identify students who are taking online courses for the first time and provide necessary technical help to increase their emotional engagement; and that it is important for educators to offer students strategies for increasing their self-regulation in distance education environments.
