  • A New Virus as a Culprit in Human Cancer
    • - Yuan Chang, M.D., University of Pittsburgh (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) is a recently discovered human virus found by digital transcriptome subtraction (DTS). The virus is clonally integrated in approximately 80% of Merkel cell carcinomas (MCC), a rare but aggressive skin cancer. Similar to other polyomaviruses, MCV has a ~5,200 bp genome with a non-coding region which regulates expression of early and late genes. The early region encodes for three T antigen isoforms: Large T (LT), small T (sT), 57 kT. These proteins contain N-terminal RB-binding, DnaJ, and PP2A interacting motifs; the LT isoform further contains C-terminal origin binding and helicase domains required for viral replication. The majority of MCV-positive MCC tumors and cell lines express truncated LT proteins which lack replication function yet retain N-terminal regulatory functions. We have develop monoclonal antibodies which show T antigen (TAg) expression in MCC tumor cells, the importance of which is underscored by TAg knock-down experiments that abolish growth in MCV-positive cell lines. This finding further strengthens the etiologic role of MCV in the MCV-positive subset of MCC tumors. Although MCV infection is common in North America, MCC is relatively uncommon and our studies suggest that this may be due to the requirement of multiple molecular events including integration of viral genome and TAg truncating mutations in a susceptible host.

  • Tumor Glucose Metabolism: Molecular Underpinnings and Therapeutic Opportunities (NIH Only)
    • - Mark A. Israel, M.D. (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : NCI CCR Grand Rounds (NIH Only)
    Dr. Mark Israel is a Professor of Pediatrics and of Genetics, and the Director of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center. An internationally distinguished cancer physician and translational scientist, he specializes in the molecular and cellular biology of brain tumors. Early in his career, Dr. Israel was recruited to the National Institutes of Health, where he rose to head the Molecular Biology Section in the Pediatric Branch of the National Cancer Institute. He then became the Kathleen M. Plant Distinguished Professor and Director of the Preuss Laboratory of Molecular Neuro-oncology at University of California, San Francisco. In 2001, he was recruited to Dartmouth to assume the leadership of Norris Cotton Cancer Center, which is one of 40 Comprehensive Cancer Centers recognized by the National Cancer Institute for excellence in research, treatment, education, and community outreach. Trained as a pediatric oncologist, Dr. Israel has made promising discoveries on nervous system tumors to benefit children and young adults with cancer. Using these tumors as models, Dr. Israel has advanced understanding of the molecular pathways that coordinate cell development, maturation, and death. He has identified genetic cues that go awry, causing cells to proliferate wildly to produce a tumor. He was the first to show that histologically similar tumors can be genetically distinct, and harnessed these differences to target treatment against certain cancer types. His ground-breaking research has helped pave the way for innovative therapeutic approaches to combat and cure brain tumors and other childhood cancers that once defied treatment, and has helped improve survival for youngsters with aggressive cancers previously considered hopeless. Dr. Israel has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed papers, and he received the Farber Award for outstanding contributions to neuro-oncology. He serves on the Executive Committees of the Association of American Cancer Institutes and the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences, as well as the Scientific Advisory Boards of several foundations and Cancer Centers and the editorial boards of several leading scientific journals. Dr. Israel was elected to the American Academy of Physicians in 2007.

  • Discovery of the Mechanism That Enables the Provision of Nutrients to Proliferating Cells (NIH Only)
    • - Prof Sir Salvador Moncada, FMedSci, University College London (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : NCI CCR Grand Rounds (NIH Only)
    Salvador Moncada, MD, obtained his PhD in the early 1970s at the Royal College of Surgeons in London, where he contributed to the discovery that aspirin-like drugs inhibit prostaglandin biosynthesis, thus accounting for their analgesic, anti-pyretic and anti-inflammatory actions. In 1975 he joined the Wellcome Research Laboratories where he initiated the work leading to the discovery of the enzyme thromboxane synthase and the vasodilator prostacyclin. This work contributed to the understanding of how low doses of aspirin prevent cardiovascular episodes such as myocardial infarction and stroke. He was also responsible for the identification of nitric oxide as a biological mediator and the elucidation of the metabolic pathway leading to its synthesis. A great deal of the early work on the biological significance of nitric oxide in the cardiovascular system came from his laboratory as well as some fundamental information about the role of nitric oxide in the peripheral and central nervous system and in cancer. In 1996 Prof. Moncada moved to University College London to establish and direct the Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research. He has continued his research more recently in the areas of mitochondrial biology and cell metabolism where he has made significant contributions. It is at this point when he became interested in glycolysis and made the findings that he is going to discuss this afternoon. Professor Moncada is a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Science of the USA and earlier this year he received a Knighthood for his services to Science.
