Targeting Breast Cancer Using Diptheria Toxin

http://www.ucop.edu/srphome/bcrp/progressreport/abstracts/innov/2cb0063.html

Extractions: Duration: 2 yrs., 1996-1998 Initial Award Abstract Normally, the growth of human breast cells is closely controlled by the levels of hormones (such as estrogen) and growth-promoting proteins (such as heregulin). Heregulins are a class of proteins known to promote the unwanted growth of breast cancer cells under certain conditions. The overabundance of heregulin on the surface of breast cancer cells often indicates that the cancer has progressed to the stage that the cells are no longer responsive to estrogen treatment using a drug like tamoxifen. The counter balancing activities of these two classes of molecules, steroid hormones and growth-promoting proteins, are important in determining the progression of breast cancer. The ultimate goal of this proposal is to disrupt this balance in order to stop growth of breast cancer cells. In practice, our specific aim is to design a toxin protein that will kill cells carrying the growth-promoting protein heregulin. Diphtheria toxin is known to kill certain types of cells carrying a specific receptor protein on their surface. This toxin will serve as the starting material in our design of a new toxin for killing breast cancer cells. Our strategy is to create a toxin variant that is capable of recognizing and killing only those cancer cells carrying heregulin. We hypothesize that the targeted delivery of this toxin variant to these cells will effectively reduce the overall growth of breast cancer.

Extractions: The massive reemergence of diphtheria in the Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union marked the first large-scale diphtheria epidemic in industrialized countries in 3 decades. Factors contributing to the epidemic included a large population of susceptible adults; decreased childhood immunization, which compromised what had been a well-established childhood vaccination program; suboptimal socioeconomic conditions; and high population movement. The role of a change in the predominant circulating strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae in this epidemic remains uncertain. Massive, well-coordinated international assistance and unprecedented efforts to vaccinate adults were needed to control the epidemic. In the 1990s, a massive epidemic throughout the Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union marked the reemergence of epidemic diphtheria in industrialized countries. Diphtheria had been well controlled in the Soviet Union for more than 2 decades after universal childhood immunization was initiated in the late 1950s (Figure 1). Although all of the Newly Independent States were affected, three quarters of the more than 140,000 cases (Table 1) and two thirds of the more than 4,000 deaths reported since 1990[1-3] were reported by the Russian Federation.

Extractions: What is diphtheria? Diphtheria is a very contagious and potentially life-threatening infection that usually attacks the throat and nose. In more serious cases, it can attack the nerves and heart. Because of widespread immunization, diphtheria is very rare in the United States. However, some people are not adequately vaccinated, and cases still occur. What is the infectious agent that causes diphtheria? Diphtheria is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, a bacterium. The bacterium produces a toxin (poison) that is carried in the bloodstream. Where is diphtheria found?

Extractions: Diphtheria Years ago, diphtheria was a widespread and greatly feared disease. Through the 1920's it struck about 150,000 people a year, and killed about 15,000 of them. Since then, these figures have dropped considerably, thanks to parents who have gotten their children immunized against this terrible disease. There were only 918 cases in 1960, 435 in 1970, and 128 in 1976. Today, only a few cases occur each year. Diphtheria is caused by a germ that lives in the mouth, throat, and nose of an infected person. It is easily passed to others through coughing or sneezing. Early symptoms of diphtheria are a sore throat, a slight fever, and chills. Usually, the disease develops in the throat. It can make it hard to swallow and even cause the patient to suffocate. Some people may be infected but not appear ill. They can also spread the infection. If diphtheria is not properly treated, or not treated in time, the bacteria may produce a powerful poison. This poison can spread throughout the body causing serious complications such as heart failure or paralysis. About 1 person in 10 who gets diphtheria dies from it. Diphtheria vaccine is usually given together with tetanus and pertussis vaccines in a shot called DTaP.

Extractions: The Facts About... Diphtheria What is diphtheria? Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease caused by a bacterium called Corynebacterium diphtheriae . This disease affects the upper respiratory tract and very occasionally the skin. Virulent strains of C. diphtheriae produce a toxin which can damage heart and nervous tissues, although non-toxigenic strains can cause a localised infection. A diphtheria-like illness is sometimes caused by another toxin-producing bacterium Corynebacterium ulcerans . Immunisation against diphtheria was introduced on a national scale throughout the United Kingdom in the early 1940s and resulted in a dramatic drop in the number of cases and deaths from the disease. For example, in 1940, 46,281 cases and 2,480 deaths were notified, compared with 37 cases and six deaths in 1957. Diphtheria is now rare in England and Wales, nearly all new cases are acquired abroad, and only two deaths due to diphtheria have been recorded since 1972. How does diphtheria spread and what symptoms does it cause?

Facts About Diphtheria For Adults. What is diphtheria? Diphtheria is an acute bacterial disease that usually affects the tonsils, throat, nose and/or skin. Click here for additional information
http://www.nfid.org/factsheets/diphtadult.html

Extractions: Diphtheria is an acute bacterial disease that usually affects the tonsils, throat, nose and/or skin. It is passed from person to person by droplet transmission, usually by breathing in diphtheria bacteria after an infected person has coughed, sneezed or even laughed. It can also be spread by handling used tissues or by drinking from a glass used by an infected person. Diphtheria can lead to breathing problems, heart failure, paralysis and sometimes death. Prevention There is a vaccine for diphtheria. Most people receive their first dose as children in the form of a combined vaccine called DTP (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis). For adults, a combination shot, called a Td booster, protects against both tetanus and diphtheria. It should be administered once every 10 years after age 7 to maintain immunity. Symptoms In its early stages, diphtheria may be mistaken for a severe sore throat. Other symptoms include a low-grade fever and enlarged lymph nodes (swollen glands) located in the neck. Another presentation of diphtheria can be skin lesions that may be painful, red and swollen. Symptoms usually appear 2 to 4 days after infection, with a range of 1 to 6 days. People carrying diphtheria germs are contagious for up to 4 weeks without antibiotic therapy, even if they themselves do not develop symptoms. Who should get Td vaccine?

Purchase Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis Description Diphtheria is an acute bacterial disease involving primarily the tonsils, pharynx, larynx, nose, skin, and occasionally other mucous membranes. The characteristic lesion is marked by a patch or patches of an adherent grayish membrane with a surrounding inflammation. Pertussis is an acute bacterial disease involving the respiratory tract, characterized by prolonged paroxysmal coughing. Persons in all age groups can be infected. Complications and deaths from pertussis are most common among infants. Occurrence Diphtheria remains a serious disease throughout much of the world. In particular, large outbreaks of diphtheria occurred in the 1990s throughout Russia and the independent countries of the former Soviet Union. Most life-threatening cases occurred in unvaccinated or inadequately immunized persons. Children traveling to countries where the risk of diphtheria is high should be vaccinated according to the Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule . Travelers to disease-endemic areas may be at increased risk for exposure to toxigenic strains of

Extractions: During the last quarter of 2000, the U.S. Public Health Service learned of a shortage of tetanus and diphtheria toxoids (Td) and tetanus toxoid (TT) resulting from decreased production of these vaccines by the two U.S. manufacturers. Previously published recommendations outlined priorities for use of the limited supply of Td and TT ( ) . The shortage was expected to be resolved by early 2001; however, on January 10, 2001, Wyeth Lederle (Pearl River, New York)* announced it had stopped production of tetanus toxoid-containing products. Although a small amount of Td is produced by the University of Massachusetts for local distribution, Aventis Pasteur (Swiftwater, Pennsylvania) is now the sole nationwide distributor of Td and TT. Aventis Pasteur is shipping limited quantities of vaccine to assure a wide distribution of available doses. In accordance with previous recommendations, priority will be given to clinics and hospitals that treat acute wounds; continuing to prioritize Td and TT use will be necessary until supplies are restored (

Is it a bad sore throat, or could it be something worse? Find out how to immunize and protect your family against diphtheria in this article for parents.
http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/diphtheria.html

Extractions: In its early stages, diphtheria can be mistaken for a bad sore throat. A low-grade fever and swollen neck glands are the other early symptoms. The toxin, or poison, caused by the bacteria can lead to a thick coating in the nose, throat, or airway. This coating is usually fuzzy gray or black and can cause breathing problems and difficulty in swallowing. In more advanced stages, the patient may have difficulty breathing or swallowing, complain of double vision, have slurred speech, or even show signs of going into shock (pale, cold skin; rapid heartbeat; sweating; and an anxious appearance).
