Project description:Viral strains, age, and host factors including genetics and proteins are associated with variable immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 and disease severity. We hypothesized that unique proteins/pathways are associated with COVID-19 disease severity in Puerto Rican Hispanics. A total of 121 men and women aged 21-80 years-old were recruited in Puerto Rico. Plasma samples were collected from unvaccinated COVID-19 infected subjects during acute disease (n=39) and compared to COVID-19 negative individuals (n=56) during acute disease using proteomics and cytokine expression. Infected individuals were stratified based on symptomatology as follows: mild (n=18), moderate (n=13), and severe (n=8). Quantitative proteomics was performed in plasma samples using Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) labeling. Cytokines in plasma were quantified using a human cytokine array. Proteomics analyses revealed 56 differentially regulated proteins and the top 3 pathways that were predicted to be inhibited in severe patients including LXR/RXR signaling, Production of NO and ROS in macrophages, and Synaptogenesis signaling. Decreased cadherin-13 validated by ELISA, which participates in synaptogenesis, is a novel protein is a novel protein not previously reported in other studies of COVID-19 severity and validated by ELISA. Cytokine analyses showed that TNF⍺ levels decreased with disease severity. This study uncovers potential host predictors of COVID-19 severity and new avenues for treatment in Puerto Rican Hispanics.

Project description:Soybean and fish contains various active components that were reported to prevent cardiovasucular diseases. Epidemiological studies indicated that Asian eating patterns, consisting of daily seafood and/or soy consumption, confer protection against cardiovascular diseases. In this context, we expected that simultaneous intake of soybean and fish may be greatly beneficial in a manner different from the ingestion of the individual food. To understand the detailed mechanism for modulating the lipid metabolism by co-ingestion of a soy food (tofu) and fish oil, we investigated the global changes in hepatic mRNA expression in rats by using a microarray analysis. Generally, ingestion of tofu contributed to prevent the mRNA expressions involved in hepatic lipogenesis, whereas fish oil facilitated the mRNA expressions related to the degradation of hepatic fatty acids. In terms of mRNA expression, the interaction of two dietary factors was limited. The expression data was normalized and summarized by using SuperNORM data service (Skylight Biotech Inc.). Significance of expressional change among groups was tested by 2-way ANOVA on the normalized CEL data, which was deposited in a tab-separated ASCII text format. Principal components were identified on the summarized gene data.

Project description:The overall goal of this educational program was to increase colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) in men and women who attend Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) in Puerto Rico. FQHCs, referred to in Puerto Rico as "Clínicas 330", are ideal settings to implement innovative approaches to increase CRCS because they serve primarily low-income patients who typically have lower rates of screening. The goal of this study, is to develop and evaluate the impact of a clinic level intervention on increasing CRCS among low-income Puerto Rican men and women aged 50-75, who have either never been screened for colorectal cancer, or are under-screened according recommended guidelines. To evaluate the delivery of the CRCS education program we used a group randomized controlled trial that provided data to determine the effectiveness of the CRC intervention program compared with usual practice (no intervention).

Project description:Epidemiologic studies demonstrate that women from cultures that consume high levels of dietary soy have reduced breast cancer rates compared to women from cultures where soy consumption is typically much lower. The types of soy products consumed can also differ with Asian cultures consuming primarily minimally refined soy products while Western cultures often consume more highly refined soy products such as isolated soy protein (ISP). Our previous work showed that lifetime exposure to a diet containing 20% ISP promoted mammary tumor development in MTB-IGFIR transgenic mice. In this study, lifetime exposure to lower levels of ISP were evaluated (5% ISP and 1% ISP) to determine whether more moderate levels of ISP could protect against mammary tumorigenesis. A standard rodent diet, Teklad 2018 was also included in this study and Teklad 2018 contains a less refined form of soy, namely soybean meal. MTB-IGFIR mice fed ISP diets, independent of the concentration, displayed increased mammary tumor incidence and reduced tumor latency compared to MTB-IGFIR mice fed a 20% casein diet. Unexpectedly, MTB-IGFIR mice fed Teklad 2018 were completely protected against mammary tumor development. Although RNA sequencing of mammary tumors from ISP or casein fed mice did not identified gene expression patterns associated with the ISP diets, the ISP diets consistently promoted the expression of contractile related proteins in pubertal mammary glands. Therefore, lifetime exposure to ISP may alter gene expression in pubertal mammary glands rendering them more susceptible to transformation. Based on these findings women may want to avoid highly refined soy products such as ISP and switch to less refined forms of dietary soy until additional studies can be performed.

Project description:The linkage between nutrition and cancer prevention is an intriguing concept that is gaining widespread support based on epidemiological and animal studies. Multiple mechanisms likely underlie dietary protection against cancer, with effects influenced by target tissue response, cell-cell interactions and developmental context. Given the negative correlation between breast cancer incidence and intake of soy foods by Asian women, and the increasing consumption of soy protein-based formula by infants in the Western world, we have studied soy protein isolate (SPI) used in most infant formula as a paradigm to evaluate diet as a risk factor in a rodent model of mammary cancer. We previously demonstrated that lifetime exposure to dietary SPI reduced the incidence of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mammary tumors in young adult rats relative to those fed the control diet Casein (CAS). This protection was associated with increased tumor suppressor PTEN and decreased Wnt signaling component expression in mammary epithelial cells at postnatal day (PND) 50 prior to carcinogen insult. To identify early events contributing to mammary tumor suppression by diet, we used Affymetrix RAE230A GeneChips containing 14280 probe sets and the GeneSpring Robust Multi-array program to analyze genomic profiles of mammary glands of prepubertal (PND21) rats lifetime exposed to SPI or CAS. Experiment Overall Design: Female SD rats are exposed to either casein/soy protein isolate based AIN-93G diet since gestation day 4 till weaning. Whole mammary gland were harvested for the gene analysis by microarray.
