Downregulation of HLA class I (HLA-I) impairs immune recognition and surveillance in prostate cancer may underlie the ineffectiveness checkpoint blockade. However, molecular mechanisms regulating HLA-I loss have not been fully explored. Here, we conducted a comprehensive analysis genomic, epigenomic gene expression alterations primary metastatic human cancer. Loss was associated with repressive chromatin states including DNA methylation, histone H3 tri-methylation at lysine 27, reduced...
Climate change is an urgent public health issue that impacting locally and across the world. Healthcare professionals are on front lines for health, caring people affected by climate change; yet few studies have assessed their knowledge experiences of local effects. The purpose this study was to improve our understanding impacts in Minnesota from perspective healthcare professionals. An electronic survey administered Department Health (MDH) a convenience sample Board-certified nurses...
Immune tolerance to self-antigens can limit robust anti-tumor immune responses in the use of tumor vaccines. Expression novel associated antigens improve recognition and lysis cells. The cancer-testis antigen (CTA) family proteins has been hypothesized be an ideal class due tumor-restricted expression, a subset which have found induce antibody patients with prostate disease. We demonstrate that CTA expression is highly inducible five different Prostate Cancer (PC) cell lines using...
