    Kurzfassung: Mice with a single copy of the retinoblastoma gene (Rb+/−) develop a syndrome of multiple neuroendocrine neoplasia. They usually succumb to fast-growing, Rb-deficient melanotroph tumors of the pituitary intermediate lobe, which are extremely rare in humans. Thus, full assessment of Rb role in other, more relevant to human pathology, neoplasms is complicated. To prevent melanotroph neoplasia while preserving spontaneous carcinogenesis in other types of cells, we have prepared transgenic mice in which 770-bp fragment of pro-opiomelanocortin promoter directs expression of the human RB gene to melanotrophs (TgPOMC-RB). In three independent lines, transgenic mice crossed to Rb+/− background are devoid of melanotroph tumors but develop the usual spectrum of other neoplasms. Interestingly, abrogation of melanotroph carcinogenesis results in accelerated progression of pituitary anterior lobe tumors and medullary thyroid carcinomas. A combination of immunologic tests, cell culture studies, and tumorigenicity assays indicates that α-melanocyte–stimulating hormone, which is overproduced by melanotroph tumors, attenuates neoplastic progression by decreasing cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis. Taken together, we show that cell lineage–specific complementation of Rb function can be successfully used for refining available models of stochastic carcinogenesis and identify α-melanocyte–stimulating hormone as a potential attenuating factor during progression of neuroendocrine neoplasms.

    Kurzfassung: Purpose: Proteasome inhibition results in cytotoxicity to the leukemia stem cell in vitro. We conducted this phase I study to determine if the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib could be safely added to induction chemotherapy in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Experimental Design: Bortezomib was given on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 at doses of 0.7, 1.0, 1.3, or 1.5 mg/m2 with idarubicin 12 mg/m2 on days 1 to 3 and cytarabine 100 mg/m2/day on days 1 to 7. Results: A total of 31 patients were enrolled. The median age was 62 years, and 16 patients were male. Nine patients had relapsed AML (ages, 18-59 years, n = 4 and ≥60 years, n = 5). There were 22 patients of ≥60 years with previously untreated AML (eight with prior myelodysplasia/myeloproliferative disorder or cytotoxic therapy). All doses of bortezomib, up to and including 1.5 mg/m2, were tolerable. Nonhematologic grade 3 or greater toxicities included 12 hypoxia (38%; 11 were grade 3), 4 hyperbilirubinemia (13%), and 6 elevated aspartate aminotransferase (19%). Overall, 19 patients (61%) achieved complete remission (CR) and three had CR with incomplete platelet recovery. Pharmacokinetic studies revealed that the total body clearance of bortezomib decreased significantly (P & lt; 0.01, N = 26) between the first (mean ± SD, 41.9 ± 17.1 L/h/m2) and third (18.4 ± 7.0 L/h/m2) doses. Increased bone marrow expression of CD74 was associated with CR. Conclusions: The combination of bortezomib, idarubicin, and cytarabine showed a good safety profile. The recommended dose of bortezomib for phase II studies with idarubicin and cytarabine is 1.5 mg/m2.

    Kurzfassung: Colon cancers often display perturbations in arachidonic acid metabolism, with elevated levels of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production frequently observed. Whereas COX-2 and PGE2 are associated with cancer cell survival and tumor angiogenesis, arachidonic acid itself is a strong apoptotic signal that may facilitate cancer cell death. To further explore how cancer cells exploit the progrowth actions of prostaglandins while suppressing the proapoptotic actions of intracellular arachidonic acid, we determined the cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) and COX-2 expression levels in a panel of human colon tumors by immunohistochemistry. Although high levels of cPLA2 and COX-2 expression are predicted to facilitate maximal prostaglandin production, tumors frequently displayed a high-COX-2/low-cPLA2 phenotype. The least represented phenotype was the high expression of cPLA2, a characteristic predicted to generate the highest levels of intracellular arachidonic acid. The potential proapoptotic role of cPLA2 was supported by a higher frequency of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase–mediated nick end labeling staining in cPLA2-positive tumors. Moreover, analysis of preneoplastic aberrant crypt foci from high-risk patients suggests that acquisition of the high-COX-2/low-cPLA2 phenotype may arise at an early stage of colon carcinogenesis. We additionally inhibited cPLA2 in HT-29 cells using antisense oligonucleotides. Our results indicate that cPLA2 plays an important role in tumor necrosis factor α–induced apoptosis in human colon cancer cells. Our data further support the model in which colon cancer growth is favored when intracellular arachidonic acid levels are suppressed by inhibition of cPLA2 or by a high-COX-2/low-cPLA2 phenotype.

    Kurzfassung: Background: Folate, other vitamin B cofactors, and genes involved in folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism all may play important roles in colorectal neoplasia. In this study, we examined the associations between dietary and circulating plasma levels of vitamins B2, B6, and B12 and risk colorectal adenomas. Methods: The Aspirin/Folate Polyp Prevention Study is a randomized clinical trial of folic acid supplementation and incidence of new colorectal adenomas in individuals with a history of adenomas (n = 1,084). Diet and supplement use were ascertained through a food frequency questionnaire administered at baseline. Blood collected at baseline was used to determine plasma B-vitamin levels. We used generalized linear regression to estimate risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) as measures of association. Results: We found a borderline significant inverse association with plasma B6 [pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP)] and adenoma risk (adjusted RR Q4 versus Q1, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.61-1.00; Ptrend = 0.08). This association was not modified by folic acid supplementation or plasma folate. However, the protective association of PLP with adenoma risk was observed only among subjects who did not drink alcohol (Pinteraction = 0.03). Plasma B2 (riboflavin) was inversely associated with risk of advanced lesions (adjusted RR Q4 versus Q1, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.26-0.99; Ptrend = 0.12). No significant associations were observed between adenoma risk and plasma vitamin B12 or dietary intake of vitamin B2 and B6. When we examined specific gene-B-vitamin interactions, we observed a possible interaction between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase -C677T and plasma B2 on risk of all adenomas. Conclusion: Our results suggest that high levels of PLP and B2 may protect against colorectal adenomas. (Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2008;17(8):2136–45)
