Specific Aims: To evaluate the discriminatory ability of PRS models to differentiate cancer cases vs. controls in patients of European (EUR) and African (AFR) ancestry in an academic biobank. Methods: We identified 445 cases of esophageal, colon, and pancreatic cancers and 12,565 cancer-free controls. Genome-wide significant variants were selected for each of the cancers, and Plink 1.9 was used to generate a PRS, an effect size weighted sum of specific cancer associated alleles for each population. To determine the discriminatory ability of PRS, we performed multivariate logistic regressions in R controlling for age, sex, and the first 10 principal components. Results: There were 285 cases of colon (48.4% AFR), 63 cases of esophageal (34.9% AFR), and 97 cases of pancreatic cancer (51.5% AFR) vs. 12,565 controls (48.5% AFR). Among the EUR individuals, the PRScolon was significantly associated with colon cancer [OR 1.25 (1.06-4.48, p=0.007)] (Table 1). The discriminatory ability of the model comprised of age, gender and principal components was 0.680-0.732 in the respective cancer cancers and the AUC minimally increased to 0.688-0.747 after inclusion of the PRS in the model. Among AFR individuals, the discriminatory ability was overall higher in the full model (AUC 0.755-0.812) but PRS increased the AUC less in AFR vs. EUR. Conclusion: Colon, esophageal, and pancreatic cancer PRS models have a moderate discriminatory ability to identify cases. However, the individual contribution of PRS to the model was small. Further studies are needed to determine additional genetic predictors of cancer risk and how best to incorporate PRS into gastrointestinal cancer risk prediction models.

This alga can be found in both fresh and saltwater and possesses characteristics of both plants and animals. Euglena gracilis extracts have a wide range of medicinal properties including stimulation of anticancer immunity against multiple types of cancers; however, the anticancer mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. Therefore, a water extract from Euglena gracilis devoid of water-insoluble mature paramylons was evaluated as an anticancer agent against lung carcinoma. Two different extracts were prepared using dried powder from whole Euglena gracilis. First, partially purified water extract (EWE) was prepared by suspending dry powder in PBS and centrifugation at 10,000g for 20 min followed by a filtration using a 0.22µm pore size membrane. Second, boiled EWE (bEWE) was prepared by immersing unfiltered EWE in boiling water for 12 min followed by centrifugation at 10,000g for 10 min and filtration using 0.22µm pore size membrane. Both EWE and bEWE treatments inhibited the growth of lung carcinoma cells in vitro in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, both extracts significantly inhibited the three-dimensional growth of Lewis Lung Carcinoma (LLC) cells. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the EWE treatment attenuates granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in bone marrow cell cultures. The in vivo study was conducted using a mouse LLC orthotopic allograft model. Oral administration of EWE and bEWE (100-200 mg/kg/day) three weeks prior to LLC cell inoculation attenuated the tumor growth in the lungs of immunocompetent mice while decreasing the peripheral granulocytes. However, this attenuation was not seen for the extract treatment initiated after LLC cell inoculation. The tumor growth attenuation was more efficient with the bEWE treatment than with EWE treatment. The fecal microbiomes of the mice were analyzed by 16s rRNA gene amplicon sequencing which revealed that alpha diversity in three groups (EWE, bEWE, and PBS control) was similar, however, the microbial compositions of the EWE- and bEWE-treated mouse groups were more diversified than in the PBS group. Specifically, an increase in the ratio of Bacteroidetes to Firmicutes was observed, and a significant increase in Akkermansia and Muribaculum was detected in EWE- and bEWE- treated mice compared to PBS treated mice. These studies suggest that oral administration of partially purified water extracts from Euglena gracilis altered the intestinal microbiome and the alteration may attenuate host MDSCs, thereby preventing lung carcinoma growth.

However, few studies of this observation have been conducted in animal models. We used the C57BL/6J mouse, genetically engineered to contain the PML-RARA fusion gene at the mouse cathepsin G (mCG) locus, as a model (B6.mCG-PML-RARα) of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) to interrogate the impact of sex and diet variation on disease latency as measured by leukemia-free survival. At 30 days of age, control (WT) and mutant (mCG+/PR) mice were separated by sex and provided with high fat (HF) [57% coconut oil fat] or low fat (LF) [10% coconut oil fat] diets. Mice were followed with serial blood collections and sacrificed when peripheral blood revealed signs of leukemia development including elevated granulocytes (WBC >20 K/μL), anemia (Hb 425 days was observed. In contrast, male mCG+/PR mice fed LF diets showed a reduced MLFS of 360 days of age, indicating a difference in latency of 65 days, thereby demonstrating sexual dimorphism in the appearance of APL. HF diet accelerated the appearance of APL in both female (MLFS = 277 days of age) and male mCG+/PR mice (MLFS = 277 days of age), which also displayed a difference in latency of 65 days. Thus, HF diet accelerated appearance of APL by 148 days in male and 148 days in female mCG+/PR mice. There were no signs of leukemia development in WT mice on either HF or LF diets. There was no splenomegaly observed in WT mice on either HF or LF diets. Thus, although HF diet and obesity accelerate the onset of APL in B6.mCG-PML-RARα mice, sexual dimorphism remains, with females showing extended latency compared to males under conditions of both HF and LF diets. Overall, our studies provide a robust mouse model to study the mechanisms by which sex impacts leukemia latency, as well as demonstrate that obesity accelerates leukemia development without affecting sexual dimorphism.

It is widely appreciated that abnormal epigenetic alterations act as one of the primary contributors to breast cancer initiation and progression. Parental, including maternal and paternal, nutritional interventions have shown considerable impact on fetal development leading to different susceptibility of offspring to various chronic diseases. Moreover, combinatorial dietary administration to parents could be more efficacious in ameliorating epigenetic aberrations and changing cancer risk in an individual9s later life. The bioactive dietary broccoli sprouts (BSp) and green tea polyphenol (GTP) are important epigenetic modulators that can prevent various cancers. Our study focusses on investigating the effect of paternal dietary BSp and GTP administration on mammary cancer prevention of their offspring. Two spontaneous breast cancer transgenic mouse models, C3(1)/SV40 and Her2/neu, were employed in this study. Male C3(1)/SV40 or Her2/neu transgenic mice were randomly assigned into four groups and treated with: control AIN-93G diet, 26% BSp (w/w) in food pellets, 0.5% GTPs (w/v) in drinking water or combined BSp and GTPs from 3 wks of age until 10 wks of age. Treated male mice of different groups were then mated with non-treated female mice. Female pups were selected after their weaning and tumor growth was monitored weekly until the termination of the experiment. Tumor- and epigenetic-related protein expression and histone modifications (methylation and acetylation) were measured. Our study indicated that paternal BSp or/and GTPs administration suppressed tumor growth, decreased tumor incidence, and delayed tumor latency compared with the control in both mouse models. Overall, paternal dietary intervention displayed more efficacy for mammary tumor prevention in C3(1)/SV40 mice and the combination group in this model also showed synergistically effects. Subsequent analysis with the C3(1)/SV40 mouse tumors demonstrated that paternal BSp or/and GTPs treatments upregulated the expression of tumor suppressor proteins, such as P16 and P53, and down-regulated tumor promoting proteins, such as MYC and BMI1. Moreover, altered DNA methylation, histone methylation and acetylation levels were also observed. These results suggested that paternal exposure to BSp and GTPs may contribute to ER-negative mammary tumor prevention in their offspring through epigenetic regulations and the combined addition of bioactive botanicals could be a more promising approach for coping with breast cancer initiation and progression in humans.
