    Abstract This study tests the hypotheses that insurance status, race and ethnicity, and neighborhood characteristics are associated with hospital admission and severe health outcomes (Intensive Care Unit [ICU] admission and oxygen assistance) for youth and young adults who present to the emergency department (ED) with COVID-19 in a single, academic health system in Illinois, Rush University System for Health (RUSH). Demographic and clinical data from the electronic health record were collected for all 13- to 24-y-old patients seen at RUSH who tested positive for COVID-19 between March 2020 and 2021. Individual-level and neighborhood characteristics were analyzed to determine their association with hospital admission and severe health outcomes through generalized estimating equations. As of March 2021, 1,057 patients were seen in the ED within RUSH in which non-Hispanic White (odds ratio [OR], 2.96; 95% CI, 1.61-5.46;

    Abstract Neuroblastoma is the most common malignancy in infants. Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in neuroblastoma tumors underlies resistance to chemotherapeutics. UBE4B, an E3/E4 ubiquitin ligase involved in EGFR degradation, is located on chromosome 1p36, a region in which loss of heterozygosity is observed in approximately one-third of neuroblastoma tumors and is correlated with poor prognosis. In chemoresistant neuroblastoma cells, depletion of UBE4B yielded significantly reduced cell proliferation and migration, and enhanced apoptosis in response to EGFR inhibitor, Cetuximab. We have previously shown that UBE4B levels are inversely correlated with EGFR levels in neuroblastoma tumors. We searched for additional targets of UBE4B that mediate cellular alterations associated with tumorogenesis in chemoresistant neuroblastoma cells depleted of UBE4B using reverse phase protein arrays. The expression of STAT5a, an effector protein downstream of EGFR, doubled in the absence of UBE4B, and verified by quantitative immunoblotting. Chemoresistant neuroblastoma cells were treated with SH-4-54, a STAT5 inhibitor, and observed insignificant effects on cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. However, SH-4-54 significantly enhanced the anti-proliferative and anti-migratory effects of Cetuximab in naïve SK-N-AS neuroblastoma cells. Interestingly, in UBE4B depleted SK-N-AS cells, SH-4-54 significantly potentiated the effect of Cetuximab rendering cells increasingly sensitive an otherwise minimally effective Cetuximab concentration. Thus, neuroblastoma cells with low UBE4B levels were significantly more sensitive to combined EGFR and STAT5 inhibition than parental cells. These findings may have potential therapeutic implications for patients with 1p36 chromosome LOH and low tumor UBE4B expression.

    Abstract The faculty and student populations in academia are not representative of the diversity in the U.S.
    Population: Thus, research institutions and funding agencies invest significant funds and effort into recruitment and retention programs that focus on increasing the flow of historically underrepresented minorities (URMs) into the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pipeline. Here, we outline challenges, interventions, and assessments by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center UTHealth Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) that increased the diversity of the student body independently of grade point averages and Graduate Record Examination scores. Additionally, we show these efforts progressively decreased the attrition rates of URM students over time while eliminating attrition in the latest cohort. Further, the majority of URM students who graduate from the GSBS are likely to remain in the STEM pipeline beyond the postdoctoral training period. We also provide specific recommendations based on the data presented to identify and remove barriers that prevent entry, participation, and inclusion of the underrepresented and underserved in the STEM pipeline.

    Abstract Graduate schools around the United States are working to improve access to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in a manner that reflects local and national demographics. The admissions process has been the focus of examination, as it is a potential bottleneck for entry into STEM. Standardized tests are widely used as part of the decision-making process; thus, we examined the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) in two models of applicant review: metrics-based applicant review and holistic applicant review to understand whether it affected applicant demographics at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center UTHealth Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. We measured the relationship between GRE scores of doctoral applicants and admissions committee scores. Metrics-based review of applicants excluded twice the number of applicants who identified as a historically underrepresented minority compared with their peers. Efforts to implement holistic applicant review resulted in an unexpected result: the GRE could be used as a tool in a manner that did not reflect its reported bias. Applicant assessments in our holistic review process were independent of gender, racial, and citizenship status. Importantly, our recommendations provide a blueprint for institutions that want to implement a data-driven approach to assess applicants in a manner that uses the GRE as part of the review process.

    Abstract The Gi-coupled somatostatin receptor 2 (SST2) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that mediates many of somatostatin's neuroendocrine actions. Upon stimulation, SST2 is rapidly internalized and transported to early endosomes before being recycled to the plasma membrane. However, little is known about the intracellular itinerary of SST2 after it moves to the early endosomal compartment or the cytoplasmic proteins that regulate its trafficking. As postsynaptic density protein/discs large 1/zonula occludens-1 (PDZ) domain interactions often regulate the trafficking and signaling potential of GPCRs, we examined the role of the SST2 PDZ ligand and additional C-terminal residues in controlling its intracellular trafficking. We determined that SST2 can recycle to the plasma membrane via multiple pathways, including a LAMP1/Rab7-positive late endosome to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) pathway. Trafficking from the late endosome to the TGN is often regulated by the retromer complex of endosomal coat proteins, and disrupting the retromer components sorting nexins 1/2 inhibits the budding of SST2 from late endosomes. Moreover, trafficking through the late endosomal/TGN pathway is dependent on an intact PDZ ligand and C-terminal tail, as truncating either the 3 or 10 C-terminal amino acids of SST2 alters the pathway through which it recycles to the plasma membrane. Moreover, addition of these amino acids to a heterologous receptor is sufficient to redirect it from a degradation pathway to a recycling itinerary. Our results demonstrate that endosomal trafficking of SST2 is dependent on numerous regulatory mechanisms controlled by its C terminus and the retromer machinery.
