2. Data from Epigenetic Regulation by Z-DNA Silencer Function Controls Cancer-Associated ADAM-12 Expression in Breast Cancer: Cross-talk between MeCP2 and NF1 Transcription Factor Family

Author

Abstract

A disintegrin and metalloprotease domain-containing protein 12 (ADAM-12) is upregulated in many human cancers and promotes cancer metastasis. Increased urinary level of ADAM-12 in breast and bladder cancers correlates with disease progression. However, the mechanism of its induction in cancer remains less understood. Previously, we reported a Z-DNA–forming negative regulatory element (NRE) in ADAM-12 that functions as a transcriptional suppressor to maintain a low-level expression of ADAM-12 in most normal cells. We now report here that overexpression of ADAM-12 in triple-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and breast cancer tumors is likely due to a marked loss of this Z-DNA–mediated transcriptional suppression function. We show that Z-DNA suppressor operates by interaction with methyl-CpG-binding protein, MeCP2, a prominent epigenetic regulator, and two members of the nuclear factor 1 family of transcription factors, NF1C and NF1X. While this tripartite interaction is highly prevalent in normal breast epithelial cells, both in vitro and in vivo, it is significantly lower in breast cancer cells. Western blot analysis has revealed significant differences in the levels of these 3 proteins between normal mammary epithelial and breast cancer cells. Furthermore, we show, by NRE mutation analysis, that interaction of these proteins with the NRE is necessary for effective suppressor function. Our findings unveil a new epigenetic regulatory process in which Z-DNA/MeCP2/NF1 interaction leads to transcriptional suppression, loss of which results in ADAM-12 overexpression in breast cancer cells.

Abstract

Traffic control systems were developed with operational performance, reliability, and safety in mind. Traffic control systems were designed well before the heavy integration of advanced communications including radio frequency (RF), the Internet and cellular transmissions. These technologies were integrated to provide more control and enable the traffic systems to become adaptive to real-time traffic flow and environmental conditions. These advances increase the opportunity for attackers to affect traffic system operations, sometimes creating a congestion which essentially halts traffic. The Secure SCADA Framework presents eight objectives which would increase the cyber resilience of an existing vulnerable cyber physical system, such as a traffic control system [1]. This approach retains the current operational performance, reliability, and safety. The concept of using a Trusted Computing Base (TCB) in a cyber-physical system is one goal of the eight presented for the Secure SCADA Framework. The SCADA TCB (STCB) project designs, develops, and verifies a core set of hardware, software, and firmware which operate in conjunction to establish a high level of security protecting a traffic control system. This research defines the requirements of a traffic control system, establishes a security policy, develops a trusted computing base, identifies and designs attacks on the system, and meets the development life-cycle requirements to proceed with implementation, verification, and testing.

Abstract

Background Sustainability within neglected tropical disease (NTD) programs is a complex and challenging issue. The need for a shared understanding about what sustainability means for NTD programs is more important than ever as stakeholders are currently realigning for the next decade of NTD programming with the launch of WHO’s new NTD roadmap for 2012–2030. The aim of this paper is to assess different perspectives to generate a working definition of sustainability for NTD programs. Methodology/Principal findings This study surveyed affiliates of the NTD NGO Network (NNN) about their definitions of sustainability and then analyzed the data using an inductive and deductive process. The research team drafted a sustainability statement based on the survey findings and then solicited and incorporated feedback on the statement from a diverse group of expert reviewers. The final statement includes a working definition of sustainability for NTD programs that highlights three key essential components to sustainability: domestic commitment, responsive resource mobilization, and accountability. Conclusions/Significance This research resulted in a sustainability statement, based on a survey and extensive consultation with stakeholders, that represents a starting point for shared understanding around the concept of sustainability for NTD programs. Future collaborative work should build off this definition and seek to incorporate indicators for sustainability into programmatic decision-making., Author summary The question of whether a global public health program can be sustainable is as important as whether that program is effective. While neglected tropical disease (NTD) programs have achieved tangible success in reducing the burden of NTDs over the past decade through a massive collaboration between global and local stakeholders, the achievement of global NTD control and elimination goals will depend in large part on whether these efforts are sustained. This study seeks to encourage more and better dialogue around NTD program sustainability by incorporating a wide variety of expert perspectives to create and propose a shared definition of sustainability upon which future NTD programming decisions can be made. The sustainability statement based on the findings from this study suggests that three essential components to NTD program sustainability are commitment from decision-makers within NTD-endemic countries, resource mobilization that is responsive to local needs, and enhanced mechanisms for accountability.

Abstract

The nature and effects of trust in social and political institutions have been studied in adults, but few studies have focused on how trust affects the political socialization of children and adolescents, who are in the process of developing their attitudes towards government and other social institutions. Data collected in 1999 from the IEA Civic Education Study of 14-year-olds are used to examine trust at three levels — trust in institutions with which individuals have little or no daily contact (those delegated as representatives in institutions such as the national legislature), trust in institutions with whose representatives individuals interact frequently (schools), and trust in other people. First, levels of these three types of trust are compared in six democracies whose levels of political stability vary (French-speaking Belgium, Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia, England and the United States). Second, correlates of individuals' levels of trust (including school climate and experiences with family) are examined. Third, trust, civic knowledge, school experiences, and family variables are used to predict levels of three types of civic or political engagement (voting, conventional political participation that goes beyond voting, and community participation). Levels of trust relate to the stability of democracy in the countries examined and to participation, suggesting a ‘threshold’ of trustworthiness that a political system needs to establish in order to foster civic and political participation in young people. Additionally, different types of civic engagement are influenced differentially by trust and by other aspects of experience in schools.

Abstract

A gas chromatographic (GC) procedure for the quantitation and GC/negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometric (NICIMS) confirmation of chloramphenicol in calf muscle tissue was the subject of a validation study. Five analysts representing 5 laboratories in 4 countries participated in the quantitative method and analyzed 7 randomly numbered blind triplicates at 4 fortified and 3 incurred tissue concentrations on 3 separate days. The chloramphenicol concentrations ranged from 0 to 2.5 ppb. All data were reported to 3 significant figures. The coefficients of variation were 9.5-28.7% for repeatability and 14.6-38% over the study range for reproducibility. NICIMS data representing 3 laboratories in 3 countries successfully confirmed chloramphenicol in samples at 0.6 ppb or greater with no false positives in blank tissues.

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to bring about the psychosocialaspects of women widowed in the Tsunami disaster inIndia. The research used a descriptive research design. Of214 widows, nearly 107 of them who lost their spouses inthe Tsunami (Study Group) and the women widowedprior to the Tsunami disaster for varied causes (ControlGroup) were interviewed for the study using simplerandom sample technique. Disability AssessmentSchedule (WHO DAS, 2001), Self Reporting Questionnaire(SRQ, WHO, 1994) were used along with semi structuredinterview schedule to gather socio demographic details.The results indicate that the psychological distress andthe disability of the women widowed in the disaster arehigher than the women who were widowed prior to theTsunami. These results guide us to provide psychosocialinterventions to the vulnerable groups of women amongother vulnerable groups in the disaster mental healthprogrammes.
