FRUCTOSE METABOLISM EFFECTS ON THE LIVER: UNRAVELING THE ROLE OF DEFECTIVE INTESTINAL GNG IN INDIVIDUALS WITH OBESITY - ABSTRACT THE ALARMING RISE IN THE RATES OF TYPE 2 DIABETES AND NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE (NAFLD) PERSISTS DESPITE EFFORTS TO ADDRESS CONTRIBUTING FACTORS AND PROMOTE DIETARY CHANGES. ONE MAJOR CHALLENGE HAS BEEN THE INCONSISTENCY IN DIETARY GUIDELINES, ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE ROLE OF FRUCTOSE. WHILE POPULATION STUDIES HAVE LINKED EXCESSIVE FRUCTOSE CONSUMPTION TO CONDITIONS LIKE TYPE 2 DIABETES AND NAFLD, QUESTIONS LINGER ABOUT THE PRECISE IMPACT OF FRUCTOSE AND WHETHER ITS EFFECTS VARY BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS WITH AND WITHOUT OBESITY. THE MECHANISMS UNDERLYING THESE ASSOCIATIONS REMAIN UNCLEAR, PARTICULARLY IN HUMANS. FOR INSTANCE, STUDIES USING TRACERS HAVE SHOWN THAT FRUCTOSE CONSUMPTION IS LINKED TO INCREASED RATES OF FATTY ACID SYNTHESIS (DE NOVO LIPOGENESIS (DNL)), BUT THIS EFFECT APPEARS TO DEPEND ON FACTORS SUCH AS THE AMOUNT OF FRUCTOSE AND HOW IT IS CONSUMED. IN THIS GRANT, WE WILL TEST THE HYPOTHESIS THAT WITHIN A DEFINED RANGE OF FRUCTOSE INTAKE, THE ABILITY TO CONVERT FRUCTOSE TO GLUCOSE (VIA GLUCONEOGENESIS, GNG) IN THE SMALL INTESTINE PLAYS A PROTECTIVE ROLE FOR THE LIVER, SHIELDING IT FROM THE DELETERIOUS EFFECTS OF FRUCTOSE. ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL INVESTIGATE WHETHER THIS PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF THE INTESTINE IS IMPAIRED IN INDIVIDUALS WITH OBESITY, POTENTIALLY MAKING THEM MORE VULNERABLE TO FRUCTOSE CONSUMPTION. TO ADDRESS THESE QUESTIONS, WE WILL CONDUCT FOUR ONE-DAY DIETARY STUDIES IN ADULTS WITH AND WITHOUT OBESITY. OUR STUDY IS BASED ON THE IDEA THAT UNCONTROLLED FLUX OF FRUCTOSE TO THE LIVER, RESULTING FROM FRUCTOSE CONSUMPTION, IS A KEY FACTOR IN THE DYSREGULATION OF LIPID AND CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM. WE WILL EMPLOY A FEEDING APPROACH USING WELL-DEFINED LIQUID MEALS AND A COMBINATION OF STABLE ISOTOPES (NON-RADIOACTIVE TRACERS), ADMINISTERED ORALLY AND INTRAVENOUSLY IN TRACE AMOUNTS. THIS APPROACH WILL ENABLE US TO SIMULTANEOUSLY MEASURE THE FLUXES IN INTESTINAL GNG, HEPATIC GNG, AND DNL PATHWAYS IN RESPONSE TO BOTH LOW AND HIGH FRUCTOSE INTAKE. WE WILL ALSO EXPLORE WHETHER THESE FLUXES DIFFER BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS WITH OBESITY AND LEAN CONTROLS. BY CONCURRENTLY ASSESSING THESE PATHWAYS, OUR PROPOSAL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO ADVANCE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF POSTPRANDIAL FRUCTOSE METABOLISM AND OFFER CRITICAL MECHANISTIC INSIGHTS TO SUPPORT EVIDENCE-BASED DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS, PARTICULARLY CONCERNING MORE TARGETED LIMITATIONS IN FRUCTOSE CONSUMPTION.

EXTRA-HEPATIC POSTPRANDIAL METABOLISM OF DIETARY FRUCTOSE - HIGH SUGAR CONSUMPTION, AND MORE SPECIFICALLY FRUCTOSE INTAKE, LEADS TO LIPID PROFILES ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED RISK OF TYPE 2 DIABETES (T2D), CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE (CVD), AND NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE. THE UNDERLYING METABOLIC MECHANISMS LEADING TO THESE CONDITIONS REMAIN LARGELY UNKNOWN. THE PARENT STUDY FOR THIS PROPOSAL, R01DK116033, FOCUSES ON THE ROLE AND METABOLIC FATES OF FRUCTOSE IN THE LIVER, WHICH HISTORICALLY WAS CONSIDERED THE MAIN TISSUE HANDLING FRUCTOSE. THIS PROPOSAL TAKES INTO ACCOUNT OUR PRELIMINARY DATA SUPPORTING A MAJOR ROLE OF NON-HEPATIC TISSUES AS SITES OF FRUCTOSE METABOLISM, AND OF APOLIPOPROTEIN CLEARANCE FACTORS INFLUENCING POSTPRANDIAL LIPID PROFILES. WE ADDRESS THREE QUESTIONS RELATED TO NON-HEPATIC FRUCTOSE METABOLISM USING HIGH- AND LOW-FRUCTOSE MEALS IN PRE-DIABETIC AND CONTROL SUBJECTS ENROLLED IN THE PARENT TRIAL. OUR FIRST QUESTION REGARDS THE ROLE OF THE SMALL INTESTINE IN FRUCTOSE METABOLISM; SPECIFICALLY THE CONVERSION OF FRUCTOSE TO FAT BY DE NOVO LIPOGENESIS (DNL) AND THE COMPOSITION OF APOLIPOPROTEINS IN CHYLOMICRONS (CM), NAMELY APOCIII, AND APOB, AND THEIR RELATIVE CONTRIBUTION TO POSTPRANDIAL HYPERLIPIDEMIA. WE DEVELOPED AN IMMUNOAFFINITY METHOD TO ISOLATE CM THAT TRANSPORT THE FAT PACKAGED IN THE SMALL INTESTINE. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO QUANTIFY, FOR THE FIRST TIME, INTESTINAL DNL AND THE APOLIPOPROTEIN COMPOSITION OF CM WITHOUT CONTAMINATION FROM FAT MADE IN THE LIVER AND TRANSPORTED BY VERY-LOW DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS (VLDL). OUR SECOND QUESTION ADDRESSES THE AMOUNT OF FRUCTOSE THAT ESCAPES INTESTINAL AND HEPATIC METABOLISM AND APPEARS IN THE CIRCULATION, THEREBY BECOMING AVAILABLE TO OTHER TISSUES. FOR THIS AIM, WE WILL USE A RECENTLY PUBLISHED DUAL STABLE ISOTOPE METHOD TO MEASURE PLASMA FRUCTOSE LEVELS. ADDITIONALLY, THIS METHOD WILL ALLOW US TO EXPLORE, FOR THE FIRST TIME, INTESTINAL GLUCONEOGENESIS IN HUMANS. FOR OUR THIRD QUESTION, WE WILL MEASURE HOW MUCH FRUCTOSE IS USED AS FUEL BY DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF FRUCTOSE THAT IS COMPLETELY OXIDIZED TO PRODUCE LABELED 13CO2. RECENT STUDIES HAVE SUGGESTED THAT OXIDATION IS ANOTHER MAJOR ROUTE OF FRUCTOSE METABOLISM. THE ADMINISTRATION OF ORAL AND INTRAVENOUS STABLE ISOTOPES IN 18 PRE-DIABETIC AND 18 CONTROL SUBJECTS ENROLLED IN THE PARENT TRIAL AND THE APPLICATION OF A TECHNIQUE TO FRACTIONATE TRL ALLOWS FOR THE QUANTIFICATION OF CM AND VLDL APOLIPOPROTEINS AND INTESTINAL- AND HEPATIC- DNL, ALONG WITH MEASUREMENTS OF FRUCTOSE IN THE PERIPHERAL CIRCULATION, ESTIMATION OF INTESTINAL GLUCONEOGENESIS, AND FRUCTOSE OXIDATION. BY MEASURING DNL, CLEARANCE FACTORS, CIRCULATING FRUCTOSE, AND FRUCTOSE OXIDATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE MEASUREMENTS OF THE PARENT STUDY (HEPATIC GLUCONEOGENESIS, TRL-DNL AND GLYCOGEN STORAGE), WE WILL HAVE A MORE COMPLETE CHARACTERIZATION OF FRUCTOSE METABOLISM AND ANSWER LONGSTANDING QUESTIONS REGARDING THE FATES OF FRUCTOSE IN TWO DISTINCT POPULATIONS. IMPORTANTLY, WE WILL DEMONSTRATE HOW EXTRA-HEPATIC FRUCTOSE METABOLISM CONTRIBUTES TO T2D AND CVD RISK.

IT IS LOCATED ON 44 ACRES OF THE HISTORIC MI NAVAL HOSPITAL COMPLEX. AS AN ANCHOR TO THIS COMMUNITY, OUR MISSION HOLDS US TO TAKING ROOT IN ECONOMIC, HUMAN CAPITAL AND INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH PROGRAMS IN OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE, PHARMACY, PHYSICIAN’S ASSISTANTS, NURSING, EDUCATION, AND PUBLIC HEALTH. OVER THE NEXT 15 YEARS, CALIFORNIA FACES A STATEWIDE SHORTAGE OF PRIMARY CARE CLINICIANS (MD/DO, PA, NP). IN CALIFORNIA’S CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT 5, BOTH THE SHORTAGE OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND THE ABSENCE OF DIVERSITY IN HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS HAS LED TO STARK HEALTH INEQUITIES IN OUR HIGHLY DIVERSE COMMUNITIES. TUC IS STRATEGICALLY WORKING TO INCREASE DIVERSITY IN THE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE TO ADDRESS HEALTH INEQUITIES. TOURO UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA’S MISSION IS TO EDUCATE CARING HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, AND PUBLIC HEALTH PROFESSIONALS TO SERVE, TO LEAD AND TO TEACH WITH A FOCUS ON ADDRESSING HEALTH AND EDUCATION INEQUITIES AND THE CREATION OF SAFER AND HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES FOR ALL. WITH A GOAL TO BUILD A ROBUST PIPELINE FOR UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY AND ECONOMICALLY UNDERSERVED, PROFESSIONAL-LEVEL HEALTH CARE STUDENTS, TUC PLANS TO NOT ONLY BUILD UPON ITS ONGOING, REGIONAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH SCHOOLS, COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES, GOVERNMENT AND NONPROFIT PARTNERS, BUT ALSO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS, INTERNSHIPS AND POST-BACCALAUREATE PROGRAMS. THIS REQUIRES THE CONTINUOUS EVOLVEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF STRATEGIC INITIATIVES THAT WILL BUILD THE CAPACITY OF OUR CUTTING-EDGE, HEALTH SCIENCE CAMPUS TO MEET THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS, FACULTY, STAFF, ADMINISTRATORS AND RELATED FACILITIES, WHILE PRESERVING THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE AND VALUE OF ITS BUILDINGS WITHIN THE FORMER MI NAVAL HOSPITAL COMPLEX. CURRENTLY, TUC HAS RENOVATED SEVEN HISTORIC BUILDINGS ON OUR CAMPUS, AND WE HAVE OUTGROWN OUR CURRENT SPACE CAPACITY AND ARE UNABLE TO INCREASE CLASS SIZES IN OUR HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS TO MEET THE CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS OF OUR REGIONAL COMMUNITIES. THIS PROPOSAL SUPPORTS THE CONSTRUCTION, REPAIR AND IMPROVEMENT OF TRUETT HALL H71, BUILT IN 1927 AND FORMALLY SERVING AS THE INFECTIOUS DISEASE WARD, AND THEN AS BARRACKS FOR NAVY TROOPS THROUGHOUT BOTH WORLD WARS. THE ARCHITECTURAL, MEP, AND CIVIL PLANS HAVE BEEN FINALIZED AND ARE AT THE CITY OF VALLEJO PLANNING DEPARTMENT FOR PERMITTING. THE ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THIS PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE COMMUNITY PROJECT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING CRITICAL CAMPUS COMPONENTS WHICH ARE REQUIRED FOR INCREASING CLASS SIZE IN OUR HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS AND SUPPORTING THE DIVERSE STUDENT LEARNER OF 2030:(1) EXPANSION OF ACCREDITATION REQUIRED TEACHING LABORATORY SPACES FOR CLINICAL SKILLS, ULTRASOUND, SIMULATION, TELEMEDICINE, AND INTERPROFESSIONAL TEAM-BASED LEARNING.(2) STUDENT CENTER FOR JUSTICE, EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION TO ADDRESS SYSTEMIC EDUCATIONAL INEQUITIES AND PROVIDE RESOURCES AND SUPPORT SERVICES TO ENSURE THAT A DIVERSE STUDENT POPULATION WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN PURSUING THEIR HIGHEST DREAMS.(3) LEARNING SPACES FOR 2030.IN SUMMARY, IN RECOGNIZING THAT CALIFORNIA IS A NET EXPORTER OF PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS ACROSS THE NATION, THIS PROJECT WILL INCREASE DIVERSITY IN THE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE AND DEVELOP LEADERSHIP TO ELIMINATE HEALTH INEQUITY IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE NATION.

CANNABINOID SIGNALING INTERACTIONS DURING AXON DEVELOPMENT IN SITU - ABSTRACT THE CANNABIS PLANTS MARIJUANA AND HASHISH ARE THE MOST COMMONLY USED SUBSTANCES OF ABUSE BY WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE. BUT, CONCERNINGLY, FREQUENT USE OF CANNABIS BY PREGNANT WOMEN MAY RESULT IN LASTING COGNITIVE AND NEURO-BEHAVIORAL ISSUES IN CHILDREN THAT WERE EXPOSED IN UTERO. THE MECHANISMS BY WHICH CANNABINOIDS IN CANNABIS PLANTS INFLUENCE THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE DEVELOPING BRAIN ARE NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD. PREVIOUS STUDIES IN ANIMAL MODELS INDICATE THAT THE MAIN CANNABINOID RECEPTOR, CB1R, AFFECTS FORMATION OF NEURONAL CIRCUITS BY SIGNALING THOUGH VARIOUS MOLECULAR FACTORS SUCH AS THE NETRIN RECEPTOR DCC, PKA AND RHOA. HOWEVER, WE LACK COMPREHENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF ESSENTIAL MECHANISMS BY WHICH CB1R INFLUENCES NEURONAL CIRCUIT FORMATION DURING BRAIN DEVELOPMENT. FOR MANY YEARS, OUR LABORATORY DETERMINED SIGNALING MECHANISMS FOR WNT AND CADHERIN FACTOR, -CATENIN, IN DEVELOPMENT OF THE VISUAL PROJECTION IN TADPOLES OF THE VERTEBRATE FROG MODEL XENOPUS LAEVIS. THIS IS AN IDEAL SYSTEM FOR STUDYING NEURONAL CIRCUIT FORMATION BECAUSE OF ITS STRONG GENETIC SIMILARITY TO HUMANS, AMENABILITY TO MOLECULAR AND GENETIC MANIPULATION IN SINGLE RETINAL GANGLION CELLS AND IMAGING OF INDIVIDUAL RETINAL GANGLION CELLS WITH ALTERED MOLECULAR SIGNALING DIRECTLY IN THEIR NATIVE ENVIRONMENT. WE NOW PROPOSE TO DETERMINE WHETHER CB1R INHIBITS WNT/CADHERIN/- CATENIN SIGNALING TO REGULATE GROWTH CONE FILOPODIA AND AXON PATHFINDING FEATURES IN SITU. THIS PROPOSAL STEMS FROM WORK FROM OTHERS SHOWING THAT CB1R INHIBITS WNT AND DESTABILIZES -CATENIN IN CANCER CELLS, AND WNT MEDIATED DESTABILIZATION OF -CATENIN DOWNREGULATES CADHERIN CELL-CELL ADHESION, AND OUR RECENTLY PUBLISHED PAPER SHOWING THAT CB1R AND -CATENIN OPPOSITELY MODULATE GROWTH CONE FILOPODIA IN RETINAL GANGLION CELLS. WE WILL TEST TWO AIMS: 1) QUANTIFY AXON PATHFINDING AND GROWTH CONE DEFECTS FOLLOWING MANIPULATION OF CB1R IN SITU. OUR PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED DATA SHOWED THAT PHARMACOLOGICAL MANIPULATION OF CB1R PERTURBS GROWTH CONE FILOPODIA AND AXON FASCICULATION IN SITU. WE WILL NOW ASSESS WHETHER CELL- AUTONOMOUS (MORPHOLINO BASED) LOSS-OF-FUNCTION OF CB1R IN INDIVIDUAL RETINAL GANGLION CELLS ALTERS MULTIPLE GROWTH CONE AND AXON PATHFINDING PARAMETERS. 2) ESTABLISH FUNCTIONAL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CB1R AND WNT/CADHERIN SIGNALING IN RETINAL GANGLION CELLS. WE WILL DETERMINE WHETHER PHENOTYPIC EFFECTS OF CB1R LOSS- OF-FUNCTION ON GROWTH CONE FILOPODIA AND AXON PATHFINDING FEATURES ARE RESCUED BY EXPRESSION OF FACTORS IN THE CANONICAL WNT SIGNALING PATHWAY (AXIN, APC) AND MUTANTS OF KEY PLAYERS IN CADHERIN CELL-CELL ADHESIVE COMPLEX (-CATENIN, -CATENIN). THIS DATA WILL DETERMINE A NOVEL AND ESSENTIAL SIGNALING MECHANISM FOR CANNABINOIDS IN NEURONAL CIRCUIT DEVELOPMENT IN A VERTEBRATE MODEL. GIVEN THE CONSERVATION OF THESE SIGNALING PATHWAYS, THESE RESULTS MAY ALSO ESTABLISH A FUNDAMENTAL MECHANISM FOR ENDOCANNABINOIDS IN FORMATION OF NEURONAL CIRCUITS IN HUMAN FETUSES, AND FOR HOW INCREASED PRENATAL CANNABIS EXPOSURE COULD DISRUPT ESTABLISHMENT OF NEURONAL CIRCUITS, AND LEAD TO PERSISTENT COGNITIVE AND NEUROBEHAVIORAL DEFICITS IN CHILDREN.

INTERPROFESSIONAL OPIOID USE DISORDER FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM - THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF MEDICAL, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT, AND NURSING (FNP) GRADUATES TRAINED TO PROVIDE OUD SCREENING, EDUCATION, REFERRAL, AND MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. TUC IS A PRIVATE, NOT-FOR-PROFIT UNIVERSITY, LOCATED IN THE CITY OF VALLEJO WITHIN SOLANO COUNTY. SOLANO COUNTY IS ONE OF THE MOST RACIALLY DIVERSE COUNTIES IN THE US, WITH HIGH RATES OF POVERTY, A 10 YEAR TREND IN INCREASING OUD ASSOCIATED EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT USAGE, AND RISING OVERDOSE DEATHS WHILE ALSO BEING MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED. GROWING RECOGNITION OF THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC, EXCESSIVE OPIOID PRESCRIBING PRACTICES, AND A SHORTAGE OF ACCESS TO OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD) TREATMENTS HAS LED TO A CALL FOR MORE PAIN, OPIOID, AND OUD TRAINING IN HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS. THIS CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HEALTH PROFESSION SCHOOLS TO REEXAMINE HOW THEY TRAIN FUTURE PROVIDERS IN REGARDS TO OUD AND MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT) WITH A FOCUS ON REDUCING STIGMA AND CLOSING THE TREATMENT GAP. FOR COUNTIES LIKE SOLANO COUNTY THIS MEANS ADDRESSING HEALTH DISPARITIES AND FOUNDATIONAL ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE. TUC FOCUSES ON TRAINING PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS. RECOGNIZING THAT STUDENT ATTITUDES AND CONFIDENCE ARE BEST IMPACTED BY EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AND PEER EDUCATION, WE ARE IMPLEMENTING A MULTI-YEAR INTERPROFESSIONAL OPIOID USE DISORDER (IP-OUD) FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM. WITHIN THE FIRST 90 DAYS, WE WILL IMPLEMENT THE IP-OUD FELLOWS PROGRAM AND RECRUIT THE FIRST COHORT OF 17 IP-OUD FELLOWS. IN YEAR 1, WE WILL IMPLEMENT THE IP-OUD FELLOWS PROGRAM ELECTIVE COURSE AND THE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING COMPONENT REACHING 80% OF MEDICINE, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT, AND NURSING STUDENTS. IN YEARS 2 AND 3, WE WILL IMPLEMENT THE FOCUSED CLINICAL EXPERIENCES IN OUD AND MAT REACHING 100% OF THE IP-OUD FELLOWS AND CONTINUE TO REACH 80% OF MEDICINE, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT, AND NURSING STUDENTS. THE MEASURABLE OUTCOMES WILL BE INCREASED KNOWLEDGE OF OUD AND MAT, RECOGNITION OF BIAS AND DECREASED STIGMA AROUND OUD AND MAT, INCREASED CONFIDENCE IN RECOGNIZING AND MANAGING OUD, INCREASED POSITIVE ATTITUDE AROUND MAT TREATMENT EFFICACY, AND INCREASED WILLINGNESS TO PROVIDE SERVICES. VALIDATED MEASUREMENT TOOLS USED INCLUDE THE DRUG AND DRUG PROBLEMS PERCEPTIONS QUESTIONNAIRE (DDPPQ), SHORT ALCOHOL AND ALCOHOL PROBLEMS PERCEPTION QUESTIONNAIRE ADAPTED FOR OUD, INTERPROFESSIONAL PROFESSIONALISM ASSESSMENT (IPA), AND STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF INTERPROFESSIONAL CLINICAL EDUCATION REVISED (SPICE-R). THE STRENGTH OF THE CURRENT PROPOSAL IS THE FOUNDATION IN INTERPROFESSIONAL OUD AND MAT EDUCATION WOVEN TOGETHER WITH A PUBLIC HEALTH LENS. THIS FRAMEWORK IS ROOTED IN OUR TUC VALUES OF SERVICE, DIVERSITY, INCLUSION, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE WHICH THE FOUNDATION FOR CLOSING THE TREATMENT GAP FOR PATIENTS WITH OUD. IN YEAR 1, 17 STUDENTS FROM NURSING, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT STUDIES, AND OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE WILL BE NAMED AS THE FIRST COHORT OF IP-OUD FELLOWS, AND THEY WILL PROVIDE PEER TRAINING TO 108 MEDICAL STUDENTS, 32 NURSING STUDENTS, AND 38 PA STUDENTS. IN YEAR 2, AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER, AN ADDITIONAL 17 FELLOWS WILL BE ADDED TO THE PROGRAM AND WILL PROVIDE PEER EDUCATION TO 324 STUDENTS AND OVER 525 STUDENTS AND >510 COMMUNITY MEMBERS WILL BE SERVED.

NUCLEAR TRANSPORT OF EXTRACELLULAR VESICLE BIOMATERIALS - PROJECT SUMMARY TARGETING THE INTERACTION BETWEEN CANCER AND STROMAL CELLS IN THE TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT HOLDS GREAT THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL. RECENTLY, INTEREST IN THIS TYPE OF COMMUNICATION HAS EXPANDED BEYOND SIGNALING MOLECULES TO INCLUDE EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES (EVS), RELEASED BY CANCER CELLS AND TAKEN UP BY TARGET CELLS LOCALLY OR AT DISTANCE. CANCER EVS CONTAIN PROTEINS AND NUCLEIC ACIDS RESPONSIBLE FOR PRO-TUMORIGENIC AND PRO-METASTATIC EFFECTS. OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE EV WORLD IS IN ITS INFANCY. WHAT HAPPENS TO EV CARGO MOLECULES ONCE INSIDE THE TARGET CELLS, AND HOW THEY EXERT THEIR BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS IS STILL OBSCURE. OUR LONG-TERM GOAL IS TO UNDERSTAND THE INTRACELLULAR ROUTE(S) AND SUBCELLULAR FATE OF EV CONTENT UPON INTERNALIZATION AND TO APPLY THIS KNOWLEDGE TO DEVELOPING NOVEL THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES, ESPECIALLY IN CANCER. WE HAVE RECENTLY IDENTIFIED A NOVEL EV NUCLEAR PATHWAY IN WHICH A TRIPARTITE VOR PROTEIN COMPLEX, CONTAINING VAP-A, ORP3 AND RAB7, ORCHESTRATES TRANSLOCATION AND DOCKING OF EV-CONTAINING LATE ENDOSOMES INTO NUCLEAR ENVELOPE INVAGINATIONS (NEI) WITH SUBSEQUENT NUCLEAR TRANSFER OF EV CARGO. PRELIMINARY EVIDENCE OF THE BIOLOGICAL RELEVANCE OF THIS NOVEL NUCLEAR PATHWAY WAS SHOWN BY THE FINDING THAT ORP3 AND VAP-A ARE REQUIRED FOR PRO-METASTATIC MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF NON-METASTATIC COLON CARCINOMA CELLS INDUCED BY EVS FROM METASTATIC COLON CARCINOMA CELLS. OUR CENTRAL HYPOTHESIS IS THAT THIS INTRACELLULAR PATHWAY MEDIATES MANY OF THE EFFECTS OF EVS, AND THAT INTERFERING WITH MECHANISM/S THAT REGULATE I) THE INTERACTION BETWEEN LATE ENDOSOMES AND NUCLEAR MEMBRANE, AND II) THE NUCLEAR DELIVERY OF THE ENDOCYTOSED EV COMPONENTS WILL IMPAIR THE INTERCELLULAR CROSSTALK IN THE CANCER MICROENVIRONMENT, AND THEREBY INHIBIT TUMOR GROWTH AND FORMATION OF METASTASES. WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR DELIVERY OF COLON CANCER-DERIVED EV BIOMATERIALS ON MSCS AND TO CAREFULLY DEFINE THE PROTEINS INVOLVED IN THIS NOVEL NUCLEAR PATHWAY. THIS OBJECTIVE WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY TWO SPECIFIC AIMS: (1) WE WILL INVESTIGATE WHETHER THIS NUCLEAR PATHWAY IS REQUIRED FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF MSCS BY EVS DERIVED FROM METASTATIC COLON CARCINOMA CELLS, PAYING PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO ITS IMPACT ON MSC PROLIFERATION, MIGRATION AND INVASIVENESS; (2) WE WILL DISSECT IN DETAIL THE VOR COMPLEX BY DELETION OR MUTATION OF DOMAINS AND/OR MOTIFS REPORTEDLY INVOLVED IN PROTEIN-PROTEIN AND PROTEIN-LIPID INTERACTIONS, AND BY EXPRESSION OF VAP-A, ORP3 AND/OR RAB7 MUTANTS IN CELLS DEPLETED OF THE CORRESPONDING GENE. IN ADDITION, WE WILL INVESTIGATE WHETHER OTHER PROTEINS AND NUCLEAR PORE COMPONENTS ARE INVOLVED. THIS STUDY IS INNOVATIVE BECAUSE (A) IS BASED ON OUR DISCOVERY OF A NOVEL EV NUCLEAR PATHWAY AND (B) THE NUCLEUS AS A FINAL DESTINATION OF EV CARGO HAS NOT YET BEEN THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED. THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE IT WILL (A) CLARIFY A NOVEL AND POORLY CHARACTERIZED NUCLEAR PATHWAY, (B) STRENGTHEN THE RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT OF OUR INSTITUTION AND INVOLVE MEDICAL STUDENTS IN ALL PHASES OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH, (C) OPEN THE WAY TO INNOVATIVE THERAPIES FOR CANCER METASTATIC DISEASE TARGETING THE TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT.
