Research Oral Cancer (OC)

Low incidence and low Priority accorded by the developed Countries, as judged

by the publications.

3.5% (M+F) of publications as compared to over 10% of female BC

Page 4: “One Size Fits All”-Does It? Vidudala V.T.S. Prasad, Ph.D Head Research and Development Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital and Research Institute

Why Oral Cancer?

In India, it is one of the most prevalent Cancers, especially in males

Coupled with the low priority status of the OC in Developed Countries, the onus to address OC is on us, but not on US and others.

Paucity of gender and site specific data, on global perspective

Inflammation and Cancer In 1863, German physician Rudolf Virchow hypothesized that certain

classes of irritants, together with the tissue injury and inflammation, promote enhanced cell proliferation.

In 1918, Yamagiwa and Ichikawa, who showed that repeated painting of coal tar onto rabbits' ears causes carcinomas.

FAS and FASL promoter SNPs Gene Loci: FAS 10q24.1; FASL 1q23

The SNPs of the FAS -1377 G>A, block the binding of Sp1 transcription factor and

FAS -670 A>G SNPs, STAT1 transcriptional factor binding site,

leading to down regulation of the FAS gene expression (Huang et al., 1997 and Sibley et al., 2003).

The FASL -844 T>C SNP at the binding site for CAAT/enhancer binding protein. The CC variant was shown to upregulate FASL gene compared to the TT variant (Wu et al., 2003).

Various ethnic groups have been shown to harbor variants of the FAS and FASL. All cancers have genetic basis and genetic pre-disposition to cancer is well established (Robson and Offit 2007 and Tan 2009).

FAS-FASL and Apoptosisnduction of Cell Death: Trimerization of the Fas receptor by Fas ligand results in activation of caspase 8 (FLICE/MACH1), mediated by the adapter protein Fas-associated death domain (FADD)/mediator of receptor-induced toxicity (MORT1). Active caspase 8 is then responsible for activation of downstream caspases and cell death. DNA-damaging agents, such as doxorubicin, can result in increased Fas expression via a p53-dependent pathway and hence induce killing by the Fas/Fas ligand pathway, if the newly synthesized Fas engages Fas ligand. Other modes of cellular stress, such as removal of simple media supplements like mercaptoethanol, can also result in enhanced Fas expression.

Biotransformation of Tamoxifen,pro-drug to active drug

CYP 3A4/5 converts TAM to N-desmethyl tamoxifen, whereas the generation of 4-hydroxy tamoxifen and ENDOXIFEN are predominantly catalyzed by CYP2D6. CYP2C19, CYP2C9, and

CYP2B6 play less important roles in tamoxifen metabolism in vitro at therapeutically relevant concentrations. Jin, Y. et al. J Natl Cancer Inst 2005;97:30-39

Germline mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2

A very high frequency: 31.6 %; non-Jewish Americans of Spanish ancestry from the San Luis Valley, Colorado

(Mullineaux et al. 2003).

Moderate: 16.4% in India (Vaidhyanathan)

Low Frequency: 1.13–5.9%;white Americans, the Spanish from Spain, Polish, Iranian, Pakistani and Turkish women (Grzybowska et al.2002; Shih et al. 2002; Guran et al. 2005; Weitzel et al. 2005; Mehdipour et al. 2006; Rashid et al. 2006).

Other Genetic Variations among different populations

• G6PD: Specific mutations are found in Indians and Africans.

• ALDH 1: Deficient activity in Orientals (Chinese& Japanese) results in high sensitivity to alcohol.

• Sickle cell anaemia: A mutation in sickle cell anaemia is not found across the globe but in specific geographical regions like Africa and Asia, mostly.

Gotram

• Science of Genetics behind the Hindu Gotram System

• People within the gotra are regarded as kin Gotra is the lineage or clan assigned to a Hindu at birth

• The Gotra is a system which associates a person with his most ancient or root ancestor in an unbroken male lineage.

• to avoid cousin marriages which have been proved to increase the risk of genetic disorders in the off springs

The volume of information held in genetic research databases and quick access magnify these concerns.

Databases

• A ‘database’ is any methodical or systematic collection of data, structured that allows accessibility to individual or collective elements of that database .

• The human genetic research databases have been created primarily for the purposes of medical or other human research.

FDA advisory Committee’s Recommendation. Oct 18, 2006

Tamoxifen label should be updated to reflect the fact postmenopausal women with ER positive breast cancer who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers with tamoxifen treatment (by genotype or drug interactions) are at increased risk for breast cancer recurrence.

The recommendation has not been withdrawn to the best of my knowledge

Other Genetic Variations among different populations

• G6PD: Specific mutations are found in Indians and Africans.

• ALDH 1: Deficient activity in Orientals (Chinese& Japanese) results in high sensitivity to alcohol.

• Sickle cell anaemia: A mutation in sickle cell anaemia is not found across the globe but in specific geographical regions like Africa and Asia, mostly.

In other words, the project was meant to sequence the complete human genome of 3 billion bases

“One Size Doesn’t Fit All”

Page 88: “One Size Fits All”-Does It? Vidudala V.T.S. Prasad, Ph.D Head Research and Development Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital and Research Institute

The Human Genome Program of the US DOE

• Human Genome Project started as US component 1990 US$3billion 15-year effort to find the estimated 80,000 human genes and determine the sequence of the 3-billion DNA building blocks that underlie all life's diversity.

• A new goal focuses on identifying regions of the human genome that differ from person to person. Our DNA sequences are estimated to be 99.9% identical genetically - these DNA sequence variations can have a major impact on how our bodies respond to disease; environmental insults, such as bacteria, viruses, and toxins; and drugs and other therapies.

May results in a different phenotype

May impact expression of mRNA/protein

May serve as an unique molecular marker for a given

pathological condition

Genome: All the genetic material in the chromosomes of a particular organism; its size is generally given as its total number of base pairs.

Genomics: the study of genes and their function. Recent advances in genomics are bringing about a revolution in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of disease, including the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. Genomics is also stimulating the discovery of breakthrough healthcare products by revealing thousands of new biological targets for the development of drugs, and by giving scientists innovative ways to design new drugs, vaccines and DNA diagnostics. Genomics-based therapeutics include "traditional" small chemical drugs, protein drugs, and potentially gene therapy.
