37. Can Rapamycin Improve Cognitive Problems Caused by Chemotherapy?

Author

TEXAS UNIV HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER AT SAN ANTONIO, Christy, Barbara, TEXAS UNIV HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER AT SAN ANTONIO, and Christy, Barbara

Abstract

Although advances in treatment have increased survival for breast cancer and other common cancers, many challenges remain. Although life-saving, chemotherapy treatments can be very harsh, and unpleasant side effects are common. Some of these side effects are temporary and well-tolerated by patients, while others may be lasting and negatively impact the quality of life during and after treatment. One commonly reported side effect of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients is chemobrain or chemofog , terms used to describe cognitive problems caused by treatment. These cognitive problems can be mild or severe, and may be long-lasting or even permanent in some patients. Problems in thinking, concentration, learning and memory are generally very distressing to patients and survivors and dramatically affect their quality of life. Finding drugs or other treatments which can prevent or alleviate chemotherapy-induced cognitive problems is an important goal which will dramatically impact the lives of cancer patients. Rapamycin is an FDA-approved drug currently used in transplant patients for immunosuppression. Rapamycin and related drugs work by partially inhibiting the activity of the mTOR protein kinase, which regulates virtually every cellular metabolic process. Rapamycin is relatively safe and well-tolerated in human patients. Rapamycin has been shown to have beneficial cognitive effects in a mouse model of Alzheimer s disease and in non-mutant mice as well (Spillman et al, 2010). Therefore, we proposed that rapamycin treatment may help prevent or improve cognitive problems caused by chemotherapy treatments.

40. Summer Undergraduate Fellowships in Breast Cancer Research

Author

TEXAS UNIV HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER AT SAN ANTONIO, Christy, Barbara A., TEXAS UNIV HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER AT SAN ANTONIO, and Christy, Barbara A.

Abstract

The aim of this grant was to support a summer training program for undergraduate students interested in biomedical research, especially cancer-related research. The students selected for the program participated in cancer-related basic research for a 10-week summer period in the Department of Molecular Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Each student was assigned a faculty mentor and placed in a laboratory, depending on their expressed interests. Each student participated in actual research in the mentor's laboratory during the summer, and attended weekly seminars to learn about topics relevant to breast cancer research. At the end of the summer, each student made a formal presentation to the entire department about their summer research project. The aim of the proposal was to expose talented young scientists to biomedical research, with the hope of attracting some of them to pursue biomedical research careers. Over the last four summers, this grant has supported 27 participating students. 66% of the participants were female, and 30% were from underrepresented minority populations. The program has been of great benefit to all involved., The original document contains color images.

41. Summer Undergraduate Fellowships in Breast Cancer Research

Author

Abstract

The purpose of this proposal is to support a summer training program for undergraduate students interested in scientific research. The students selected for fellowships participate in cancer-related research in laboratories located in the Department of Molecular Medicine of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Students are placed in different laboratories and assigned a faculty mentor, depending on their expressed interests. During the 10-week summer fellowship period, they participate in actual research projects in the mentor's laboratory, and attend a weekly seminar to learn about topics relevant to breast cancer research. At the end of the fellowship period, each student delivers a formal presentation on their projects to the department. The overall goal of the program is to expose talented young scientists to real research, in the hope that at least some of these talented students will be motivated to pursue a career in cancer-related research. Thus far, this grant has supported a group of 6 students for the summer of 2003, and 6 new students are slated to arrive in the department on June 7, 2004. The response to the program has been overwhelmingly positive, both from the students and from the participating laboratories.
