While the cure rates for pediatric ALL have improved over the decades, infants with ALL (iALL) have not benefitted from these advances and continue to have a devastating prognosis. Unfortunately progress in treatment has also been slowed by inadequate research models. With this project, we address this unmet need by investigating a novel model to understand the cellular and molecular changes that occur during iALL onset and progression.

Background: It is estimated that 1.7% of pregnant women smoke during their pregnancy globally, with the highest levels observed in Europe at 8.1%, and lowest in Africa at 0.8. The association of maternal cigarette smoking with increased risk of poor birth outcomes such as preterm birth, congenital anomalies, and neonatal mortality is well-established. In addition, evidence suggests that intrauterine exposure to maternal smoking impacts the risk of developing diseases later in life; however, we still do not understand the exact mechanism(s) leading to these outcomes. Once components of cigarette smoke (CS) cross the placenta and enter the fetal compartment, several …

Background: Accumulation of oncogenic mutant p53 (mutp53) greatly contributes to cancer progression. Heat shock protein 40 (HSP40), also known as J-domain proteins (JDPs), has been implicated in stabilization of misfolded forms of mutp53. Specifically, we demonstrate that DNAJA1, a member of HSP40/JDPs, binds to and stabilizes misfolded mutp53, while knockdown of DNAJA1 results in CHIP ubiquitin ligase-mediated degradation of misfolded mutp53 and inhibition of tumor growth. Since no HSP40/JDPs inhibitors are currently available in clinics, these findings prompted us to identify inhibitors for DNAJA1 or HSP40/JDPs.
Objectives/Goal: The goal of this study is to identify and characterize potential anti-cancer compounds …
