Urinary estrogen metabolites in women at high risk for breast cancer - 0 views

  • obesity has also been linked to preferential estrogen metabolism via the 16-alpha-hydroxylation pathway; thus, a prediction of the mechanism by which obesity could increase breast cancer risk would be through a lowering of the 2:16 ratio in favor of the 16 pathway
  • increased BMI was associated with a lower 2:16 OHE ratio
  • Our data show a significant association between alcohol use, defined as at least one drink per day or an average of seven per week, and 2:16 OHE ratio
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • An alcohol-induced rise in estrogens as a consequence of alcohol catabolism in the liver has been reported
  • The only study that looked at the association between alcohol and wine consumption in healthy women did not report a clear association
  • smoking has been reported to increase induction of the 2-hydroxylation metabolic pathway (24). However, the few epidemiological studies conducted on healthy women showed no difference in estrogen metabolites with smoking status (22) or smoking dose (20), in line with our findings.
  • Family history of a first-degree family member with breast cancer confers a 2- to 4-fold risk of developing breast cancer
  • 16% of breast cancers are due to unidentified hereditary factors
  • Estrogen metabolism occurs through enzymes whose activity is determined by the presence of specific genetic polymorphisms, thus can be defined as unique to each individual.
  • the metabolism is also influenced by a number of environmental factors, which change over a lifetime
  • significantly lower 2:16 OHE ratio in women who have known breast cancer risk factors compared with healthy women
  • There was an additional significant association specifically with BMI and alcohol use, which also supports the evidence that these factors affect estrogen metabolism
  • Profiling estrogen metabolites may identify women who are more likely to develop breast cancer within a population of women with known risk factors

Ascorbic acid: Chemistry, biology and the treatment of cancer - 0 views

  • iron and ascorbate has long been used as an oxidizing system; the combination of these two reagents is referred to as the Udenfriend system
  • ascorbate serves as a reducing cofactor for many enzymes
  • uptake of ascorbate from the intestinal tract is very tightly controlled
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • pharmacokinetic data indicate that intravenous administration of ascorbate can bypass this tight control resulting in highly elevated plasma levels
  • ascorbate readily oxidizes to produce H2O2, pharmacological ascorbate has been proposed as a prodrug for the delivery of H2O2 to tumors
  • Ascorbate is an excellent reducing agent and readily undergoes two consecutive, one-electron oxidations to form ascorbate radical (Asc•−) and dehydroascorbic acid (DHA)
  • Ascorbate oxidizes readily. The rate of oxidation is dependent on pH and is accelerated by catalytic metals
  • In near-neutral buffers with contaminating metals, the oxidation and subsequent loss of ascorbate can be very rapid
  • Ascorbate is required for maintaining iron in the ferrous state
  • In the presence of catalytic metal ions, ascorbate can also exert pro-oxidant effects
  • Ascorbate is an excellent one-electron reducing agent that can reduce ferric (Fe3+) to ferrous (Fe2+) iron, while being oxidized to ascorbate radical
  • In a classic Fenton reaction, Fe2+ reacts with H2O2 to generate Fe3+ and the very oxidizing hydroxyl radical
  • e presence of ascorbate can allow the recycling of Fe3+ back to Fe2+, which in turn will catalyze the formation of highly reactive oxidants from H2O2
  • Depending on concentrations, the effects of ascorbate on models of lipid peroxidation can be pro- or antioxidant
  •  
    ferritin released enhanced pharmacologic ascorbate induced-cytotoxicity, indicating that ferritin with high iron-saturation could be a source of catalytic iron. Consistent with this, ascorbate has also been shown to be capable of releasing iron from cellular ferritin

  • 16α-Hydroxyestrone also may be genotoxic
  • While the catechol estrogens have estrogenic and genotoxic potential, the methylated catechol estrogens, which are catechol estrogens with one hydroxyl group methylated, have been hypothesized to lower the risk of breast cancer
  • The suggested mechanisms are indirect, by decreasing circulating levels of catechol estrogens and thereby the opportunity for catechols to exert genotoxic or proliferative effects, or direct, by inhibiting tumor growth and inducing apoptosis
  • the balance between phase I (oxidation) and phase II (methylation) metabolism of estrogen may be important in hormonally related cancer development.
  • Despite the estrogenic and genotoxic potential of many of the estrogen metabolites, we only observed a significantly increased breast cancer risk with one estrogen metabolite, 17-epiestriol, which has particularly strong estrogenic activity and binds to both ERα and ERβ with an affinity comparable with estradiol

Conditions Causing Type 2 Diabetes And High BP : Study - 0 views

  •  
    A study by scientists in a UK university has shown the scale of the prevalence of a condition that can lead to various cardiometabolic diseases. The study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine journal on Tuesday (January 4) has prompted calls for changes to healthcare policy after researchers revealed, for the first time, the scale of the impact of the condition associated with benign tumours that can lead to type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Up to 10 per cent of adults have a benign tumour, or lump, known as an 'adrenal incidentaloma' in their adrenal glands which can be associated with the overproduction of hormones including the stress steroid hormone cortisol that can lead to type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Previous small studies suggested that one in three adrenal incidentalomas produce excess cortisol, a condition called mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). An international research team led by the University of Birmingham carried out the largest ever prospective study of over 1,305 patients with adrenal incidentalomas to assess their risk of high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes and their cortisol production by comparing patients with and without MACS.

NETosis and Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in COVID-19: Immunothrombosis and Beyond - PMC - 0 views

  • Pneumonia is a typical symptom of COVID-19 infection, while acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multiple organ failure are common in severe COVID-19 patients
  • NETs are important for preventing pathogen invasion, their excessive formation can result in a slew of negative consequences, such as autoimmune inflammation and tissue damage
  • SARS-CoV-2 infection has also been linked to increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios, which is associated with disease severity and clinical prognosis
  • ...40 more annotations...
  • NETosis is a special form of programmed cell death in neutrophils, which is characterized by the extrusion of DNA, histones, and antimicrobial proteins in a web-like structure known as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      Definition
  • increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a crucial intracellular process that causes NETosis
  • Another indirect route of SARS-CoV-2-induced NET production is platelet activation
  • When NETs are activated in the circulation, they can also induce hypercoagulability and thrombosis
  • In COVID-19, major NET protein cargos of NETs (i.e., NE, MPO, and histones) are significantly elevated.
  • SARS-CoV-2 can also infect host cells through noncanonical receptors such as C-type lectin receptors
  • Immunopathological manifestations, including cytokine storms and impaired adaptive immunity, are the primary drivers behind COVID-19, with neutrophil infiltration being suggested as a significant cause
  • NETosis and NETs are increasingly recognized as causes of vascular injury
  • SARS-CoV-2 and its components (e.g., spike proteins and viral RNA) attach to platelets and increase their activation and aggregation in COVID-19, resulting in vascular injury and thrombosis, both of which are linked to NET formation
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      Connects SARS-CoV-2 to TLR on Platelets to NETosis to metastasis.
  • NET formation may be caused by activated platelets rather than SARS-CoV-2 itself
  • NETosis, leading to aberrant immunity such as cytokine storms, autoimmune disorders, and immunosuppression.
  • early bacterial coinfections were more prevalent in COVID-19 patients than those infected with other viruses
  • NETosis and NETs may also have a role in the development of post COVID-19 syndromes, including lung fibrosis, neurological disorders, tumor growth, and worsening of concomitant disease
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      NETosis-> tumor growth
  • NETs and other by-products of NETosis have been shown to act as direct inflammation amplifiers. Hyperinflammation
  • “cytokine storm”
  • SARS-CoV-2 drives NETosis and NET formation to allow for the release of free DNA and by-products (e.g., elastases and histones). This may trigger surrounding macrophages and endothelial cells to secrete excessive proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which, in turn, enhance NET formation and form a positive feedback of cytokine storms in COVID-19
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      Cycle of hyperinflammation
  • NET release enables self-antigen exposure and autoantibody production, thereby increasing the autoinflammatory response
  • patients with COVID-19 who have higher anti-NET antibodies are more likely to be detected with positive autoantibodies [e.g., antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)]
  • COVID-19 NETs may act as potential inducers for autoimmune responses
  • have weakened adaptive immunity as well as a high level of inflammation
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      Immunomodulation
  • tumor-associated NETosis and NETs promote an immunosuppressive environment in which anti-tumor immunity is compromised
  • NETs have also been shown to enhance macrophage pyroptosis in sepsis
  • facilitating an immunosuppressive microenvironment
  • persistent immunosuppression may result in bacterial co-infection or secondary infection
  • can enhance this process by interacting with neutrophils through toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), platelet factor 4 (PF4), and extracellular vesicle-dependent processes
  • NET-induced immunosuppression in COVID-19 in the context of co-existing bacterial infection
  • Following initial onset of COVID-19, an estimated 50% or more of COVID-19 survivors may develop multi-organ problems (e.g., pulmonary dysfunction and neurologic impairment) or have worsening concomitant chronic illness
  • NETs in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of severe COVID-19 patients cause EMT in lung epithelial cells
  • decreased E-cadherin (an epithelial marker) expression

      This supports prior analysis that studies done by pharmaceutical corps will be more favorable to their product(s) than those independently funded.  This is called bias.
  • the evidence supports an association between testosterone therapy and risk of serious, adverse cardiovascular-related events–including non-fatal myocardial infarction–in men
  • there is some evidence that low endogenous testosterone levels may also be positively associated with cardiovascular events

    Travel wheelchair assists people to become more mobile and independent. There are many different types of wheelchairs that are used for various reasons. It is important to understand the limitations and safe operation of whatever wheelchair choose or need. The travel chair seat size (width and depth), seat-to-floor height, footrests/leg rests, front caster outriggers, adjustable backrests, controls, and many other features can be customized on, or added to, many basic models, while some users, often those with specialized needs, may have wheelchairs custom-built. A single-arm drive enables the user to turn either left or right while the two-armed drive enables user to move forward or backward on a straight line. Another type of wheelchair commonly used is a lever-drive wheelchair. This type of chair enables the user to move forward by pumping the lever back and forth.

    Walking disabled people are more fortunate nowadays. While in the past they always have felt incapacitated and immobile, nowadays, they are provided with more and better means to roam and move around. With the development and heightened popularity and usage of wheelchairs, such handicapped people are given more advantage and privilege. The emergence of transport wheelchairs have significantly helped improve the way people make use of wheelchairs. Transport wheelchairs are machines or equipment that facilitate for mobility and movement of wheelchair confined people at public places. While it is true that simple wheelchairs can do the trick, transport wheelchairs are specifically designed and manufactured to facilitate better roaming and mobility at malls, restaurants and parks where people usually converge to relax. Transport wheelchairs provide many advantages: Weight: As the name implies, they are easy to transport because they typically weigh around 15 to 20 pounds, which is much less than a manual wheelchair. Storage: They are easier to store than traditional manual and electric wheelchairs. Most are small enough to fit into the trunk of a compact car.

Hypoxia Regulates Insulin Receptor Substrate-2 Expression to Promote Breast Carcinoma C... - 0 views

  •  
    IRS-2 expression, but not IRS-1 expression, is increased by hypoxia (HIF-1alpha), which selects for tumor cells with increased metastatic potential. IRS-2 is active to mediate insulin-like growth factor I-dependent signals in hypoxia, and enhanced activation of Akt in hypoxia is dependent on IRS-2 expression. It is Akt that increases insulin receptor expression. This ties hypoxia to increase in insulin signaling and insulin receptor expression. Boom!
