Objective: To evaluate the application of a chronic disease model (CDM) for prostate cancer to visual analog scale (VAS) and time trade-off (TTO) decision tools. Methods: A total of 138 men (mean age 58 years) viewed a CDM module for prostate cancer with and without prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening. Participants rated their hypothetical quality of life with potential prostate cancer treatment complications using a CDM-based VAS decision tool. They were then asked to estimate how many years they would be willing to trade to be free of treatment complications using a CDM-based TTO decision tool. The consistency between VAS and TTO scores and the relationship between scores and preferences for PSA screening test and hypothetical treatment choice for prostate cancer were then evaluated. Results: There was a significant relationship between the VAS and TTO ratings (regression P

Cleveland school officials, acting on concerns that something inside Collinwood's basement may have played a role in the deaths of three women who competed on the high school's track team, are close to signing a contract with Mactec (a national environmental consultant based in Atlanta) to have the area inspected a third time before classes begin Aug. 28.

Fwd: Changes in expression of imprinted genes following treatment of human cancer cell lines with non-mutagenic or mutagenic carcinogens.

It remains possible that chemicals that act by mutagenic mechanisms as well as chemicals that do not induce gene mutations may affect epigenetic gene expression. To test the possibility, we investigated the ability of both types of chemicals to alter the expression of five imprinted genes, PEG3, SNRPN, NDN, ZAC and H19, using two human colon cancer cell lines and a human breast cancer cell line. The expression of imprinted genes was changed by some non-mutagenic and mutagenic carcinogens independent of their mutagenic activity. The genes most commonly exhibiting the changes in expression were SNRPN and PEG3. Alterations of the expression of NDN and ZAC were also observed in some conditions. Methylation-specific PCR and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays suggest the possibility that changes in the expression of SNRPN may be associated with DNA hypomethylation and histone acetylation of the promoters and euchromatinization of the heterochromatic domains of the promoters. Changes in expression of the imprinted genes, PEG3 and NDN, were also observed in cells immortalized by treatment of normal human fibroblasts with 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide or aflatoxin B1. We previously demonstrated that expression of the cancer-related gene, INK4a, in these immortal cells was lost via epigenetic mechanisms. The results prove that, in cancer cells, some mutagenic or non-mutagenic carcinogens can epigenetically influence the transcription levels of imprinted genes and also suggest the possibility that some chemical carcinogens may have epigenetic carcinogenic effects in human cells.
