Abstract
The objective of this study was to elucidate the expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in leiomyomas (Lyo) and paired myometrium (Myo) and explore the impact of race and MED12 mutation. Fold change analysis (Lyo/paired Myo) indicated the expression of 63 lncRNAs was significantly altered in the mutated group but not in the non-mutated Lyo. Additionally, 65 lncRNAs exhibited an over 1.5-fold change in the Black but not the White group. Fifteen differentially expressed lncRNAs identified with next-generation sequencing underwent qRT-PCR confirmation. Compared with Myo, the expression of TPTEP1, PART1, RPS10P7, MSC-AS1, SNHG12, CA3-AS1, LINC00337, LINC00536, LINC01436, LINC01449, LINC02433, and LINC02624 was significantly higher, while the expression of ZEB2-AS1, LINC00957, and LINC01186 was significantly lower. Comparison of normal Myo with diseased Myo showed significant differences in the expression of several lncRNAs. Analysis based on race and Lyo MED12 mutation status indicated a significantly higher expression of RPS10P7, SNHG12, LINC01449, LINC02433, and LINC02624 in Lyo from Black patients. The expression of TPTEP1, PART1, RPS10P7, MSC-AS1, LINC00337, LINC00536, LINC01436, LINC01449, LINC02433, and LINC02624 was higher, while LINC01186 was significantly lower in the MED12-mutated group. These results indicate that Lyo are characterized by aberrant lncRNA expression, which is further impacted by race and Lyo MED12 mutation status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fibroids are characterized by marked overexpression of tryptophan 2,3 dioxygenase (TDO2). The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of in vivo administration of an inhibitor of TDO2 (680C91) on fibroid size and gene expression. DESIGN Animal and ex vivo human study. SETTING Academic Research Institution. SUBJECTS Severe combined immunodeficiency mice bearing human fibroid xenografts treated with vehicle and TDO2 inhibitor. INTERVENTION Daily intraperitoneal administration of 680C91 or vehicle for 2 months and in vitro studies with fibroid explants. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Tumor weight and gene expression profile of xenografts and in vitro mechanistic experiments using fibroid explants. RESULTS Compound 680C91 was well-tolerated with no effects on blood chemistry and body weight. Treatment of mice with 680C91 resulted in 30% reduction in the weight of fibroid xenografts after 2 months of treatment and as expected lower levels of kynurenine, the byproduct of tryptophan degradation and an endogenous ligand of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in the xenografts. The expression of cytochrome P450 family 1 subfamily B member 1 (CYP1B1), transforming growth factor β3 (TGF-β3), fibronectin (FN1), cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1), interleukin 8 (IL-8) and secreted protein acidic and cysteine rich (SPARC) mRNA were lower in the xenografts of mice treated with 680C91 compared with vehicle controls. Similarly, the protein abundance of collagen, FN1, CYP1B1, and SPARC were lower in the xenografts of 680C9- treated mice compared with vehicle controls. Immunohistochemical analysis of xenografts indicated decreased expression of collagen, Ki67 and E2F1 but no significant changes in cleaved caspase 3 expression in mice treated with 680C91. The levels of kynurenine in the xenografts showed a direct correlation with the tumor weight and FN1 levels. In vitro studies with fibroid explants showed a significant induction of CYP1B1, TGF-β3, FN1, CDK2, E2F1, IL8, and SPARC mRNA by tryptophan, which could be blocked by cotreatment with 680C91 and the AhR antagonist CH-223191. CONCLUSION The results indicate that correction of aberrant tryptophan catabolism in fibroids could be an effective treatment through its effect to reduce cell proliferation and extracellular matrix accumulation.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine if the aberrant expression of select genes could form the basis for the racial disparity in fibroid characteristics. The next-generation RNA sequencing results were analyzed as fold change [leiomyomas/paired myometrium, also known as differential expression (DF)], comparing specimens from White (n = 7) and Black (n = 12) patients. The analysis indicated that 95 genes were minimally changed in tumors from White (DF ≈ 1) but were significantly altered by more than 1.5-fold (up or down) in Black patients. Twenty-one novel genes were selected for confirmation in 69 paired fibroids by qRT-PCR. Among these 21, coding of transcripts for the differential expression of FRAT2, SOX4, TNFRSF19, ACP7, GRIP1, IRS4, PLEKHG4B, PGR, COL24A1, KRT17, MMP17, SLN, CCDC177, FUT2, MYO5B, MYOG, ZNF703, CDC25A, and CDCA7 was significantly higher, while the expression of DAB2 and CAV2 was significantly lower in tumors from Black or Hispanic patients compared with tumors from White patients. Western blot analysis revealed a greater differential expression of PGR-A and total progesterone (PGR-A and PGR-B) in tumors from Black compared with tumors from White patients. Collectively, we identified a set of genes uniquely expressed in a race/ethnicity-dependent manner, which could form the underlying mechanisms for the racial disparity in fibroids and their associated symptoms.

Abstract
We report high-precision measurements of the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) cross section at high values of the Bjorken variable x_{B}. DVCS is sensitive to the generalized parton distributions of the nucleon, which provide a three-dimensional description of its internal constituents. Using the exact analytic expression of the DVCS cross section for all possible polarization states of the initial and final electron and nucleon, and final state photon, we present the first experimental extraction of all four helicity-conserving Compton form factors (CFFs) of the nucleon as a function of x_{B}, while systematically including helicity flip amplitudes. In particular, the high accuracy of the present data demonstrates sensitivity to some very poorly known CFFs.

Abstract
We present new precision measurements of the elastic electron-proton scattering cross section for momentum transfer (Q^{2}) up to 15.75 (GeV/c)^{2}. Combined with existing data, these provide an improved extraction of the proton magnetic form factor at high Q^{2} and double the range over which a longitudinal or transverse separation of the cross section can be performed. The difference between our results and polarization data agrees with that observed at lower Q^{2} and attributed to hard two-photon exchange (TPE) effects, extending to 8 (GeV/c)^{2} the range of Q^{2} for which a discrepancy is established at >95% confidence. We use the discrepancy to quantify the size of TPE contributions needed to explain the cross section at high Q^{2}.

Abstract
We report measurements of the exclusive neutral pion electroproduction cross section off protons at large values of x_{B} (0.36, 0.48, and 0.60) and Q^{2} (3.1 to 8.4 GeV^{2}) obtained from Jefferson Lab Hall A experiment E12-06-014. The corresponding structure functions dσ_{T}/dt+εdσ_{L}/dt, dσ_{TT}/dt, dσ_{LT}/dt, and dσ_{LT^{'}}/dt are extracted as a function of the proton momentum transfer t-t_{min}. The results suggest the amplitude for transversely polarized virtual photons continues to dominate the cross section throughout this kinematic range. The data are well described by calculations based on transversity generalized parton distributions coupled to a helicity flip distribution amplitude of the pion, thus providing a unique way to probe the structure of the nucleon.

Abstract
Elastic electron-proton scattering (e-p) and the spectroscopy of hydrogen atoms are the two methods traditionally used to determine the proton charge radius, rp. In 2010, a new method using muonic hydrogen atoms1 found a substantial discrepancy compared with previous results2, which became known as the 'proton radius puzzle'. Despite experimental and theoretical efforts, the puzzle remains unresolved. In fact, there is a discrepancy between the two most recent spectroscopic measurements conducted on ordinary hydrogen3,4. Here we report on the proton charge radius experiment at Jefferson Laboratory (PRad), a high-precision e-p experiment that was established after the discrepancy was identified. We used a magnetic-spectrometer-free method along with a windowless hydrogen gas target, which overcame several limitations of previous e-p experiments and enabled measurements at very small forward-scattering angles. Our result, rp = 0.831 ± 0.007stat ± 0.012syst femtometres, is smaller than the most recent high-precision e-p measurement5 and 2.7 standard deviations smaller than the average of all e-p experimental results6. The smaller rp we have now measured supports the value found by two previous muonic hydrogen experiments1,7. In addition, our finding agrees with the revised value (announced in 2019) for the Rydberg constant8-one of the most accurately evaluated fundamental constants in physics.

Abstract
Endocrine therapy is a recognised option in the treatment of chemo-resistant ovarian cancer. We conducted a nonrandomised phase II evaluation of combination endocrine therapy with tamoxifen and goserelin in patients with advanced ovarian cancer that had recurred following chemotherapy. In total, 26 patients entered the study, of which 17 had platinum-resistant disease. The median age was 63 years and enrolled patients had received a median of three chemotherapy regimens prior to trial entry. Patients were given oral tamoxifen 20 mg twice daily on a continuous basis and subcutaneous goserelin 3.6 mg once a month until disease progression. Using the definition of endocrine response that included patients with stable disease (SD) of 6 months or greater, the overall response rate (clinical benefit rate) was 50%. This included one complete response (CR) (3.8%), two partial responses (PR) (7.7%) and 10 patients with SD (38.5%). The median progression-free interval (PFI) was 4 months (95% CI 2.4–9.6) while the median overall survival (OS) was 13.6 months (95% CI 5.5–30.6). Four patients received treatment for more than 2 years (range 1–31) and one of them is still on treatment. In none of the four patients was there any evidence of recurrent or cumulative treatment related toxicity. Treatment-limiting toxicity was not seen in any of the study population. Endocrine data demonstrated a marked suppression of luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to less than 4% of baseline values. No consistent correlation could be established between LH/FSH suppression and tumour response. Likewise no relationship was observed between Inhibin A/B and pro-alpha C levels and tumour response. Inhibin is unlikely to be a useful surrogate marker for response in locally advanced or metastatic ovarian cancer. Combination endocrine therapy with tamoxifen and goserelin is an active regimen in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients. Hormonal therapy is advantageous in its relative lack of toxicity, ease of administration and tolerability, thus making it suitable for patients with heavily pretreated disease, compromised bone marrow function and other comorbid conditions that contraindicate cytotoxic therapy as well as in patients with indolent disease.

Abstract
Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and HTLV-2 differ in pathogenicity in vivo. HTLV-1 causes leukemia and neurologic and inflammatory diseases, whereas HTLV-2 is less clearly associated with human disease. Both retroviruses transform human T cells in vitro, and transformation by HTLV-1 was found to be associated with the constitutive activation of the Jak/STAT pathway. To assess whether HTLV-2 transformation may also result in constitutive activation of the Jak/STAT pathway, six interleukin-2-independent, HTLV-2-transformed T-cell lines were analyzed for the presence of activated Jak and STAT proteins by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. In addition, the phosphorylation status of Jak and STAT proteins was assessed directly by immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting with an antiphosphotyrosine antibody. Jak/STAT proteins were not found to be constitutively activated in any of the T-cell lines infected by the type 2 human and nonhuman primate viruses, suggesting that HTLV-2 and the cognate virus simian T-lymphotropic virus type 2 from Pan paniscus transform T cells in vitro by mechanisms at least partially different from those used by HTLV-1.
