15. Hazardous Waste Facilities: 'Environmental Equity' Issues in Metropolitan Areas.

Author

Anderton, Douglas L.

Abstract

Claims that hazardous waste facilities are more likely to be located in areas with higher than average proportions of minorities and examines the issue using census-level data from a national study. No consistent statistical evidence is found for such claims, although previous claims are shown to be based on larger areas. (SLD)

Abstract

The commercial hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities (TSDFs) are located in proportionately poor and non-minority communities. The commercial TSDF census-tract communities are largely white and disproportionately industrial working-class residential areas. The TSDFs have not alleviated the minority percentage in the encircling communities and the longitudinal changes are same as those in other industrial areas. Contrary to these findings many environmentally related causes of morbidity and mortality have disproportionate affects on the minorities and the poor.

Abstract

Abstract Background Paralemmin-1 is a phosphoprotein lipid-anchored to the cytoplasmic face of membranes where it functions in membrane dynamics, maintenance of cell shape, and process formation. Expression of paralemmin-1 and its major splice variant (Δ exon 8) as well as the extent of posttranslational modifications are tissue- and development-specific. Paralemmin-1 expression in normal breast and breast cancer tissue has not been described previously. Results Paralemmin-1 mRNA and protein expression was evaluated in ten breast cell lines, 26 primary tumors, and 10 reduction mammoplasty (RM) tissues using real time RT-PCR. Paralemmin-1 splice variants were assessed in tumor and RM tissues using a series of primers and RT-PCR. Paralemmin-1 protein expression was examined in cell lines using Western Blots and in 31 ductal carcinomas in situ, 65 infiltrating ductal carcinomas, and 40 RM tissues using immunohistochemistry. Paralemmin-1 mRNA levels were higher in breast cancers than in RM tissue and estrogen receptor (ER)-positive tumors had higher transcript levels than ER-negative tumors. The Δ exon 8 splice variant was detected more frequently in tumor than in RM tissues. Protein expression was consistent with mRNA results showing higher paralemmin-1 expression in ER-positive tumors. Conclusions The differential expression of paralemmin-1 in a subset of breast cancers suggests the existence of variation in membrane dynamics that may be exploited to improve diagnosis or provide a therapeutic target.
