Improving outcomes for Tasmanians diagnosed with lung cancer (2024 - 2026)$449,997
- Description
- This project driven by clinicians concerns regarding delays experienced by lung cancer patients. Tasmanian lung cancer patients experience some of the worst outcomes nationally. Timely diagnosis and treatment can improve survival and quality of life. To address this, we will investigate patient and service delivery factors that influence outcomes with the aim of co-designing and piloting strategies to improve the outcomes for Tasmanians diagnosed with lung cancer

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 1b, Dose Escalation, Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacodynamic Biomarker Study of Caveolin-1-Scaffolding-Protein-Derived Peptide (LTI-03) in IPF - (2023 - 2024)$165,015
- Description
- LTI-03 is a peptide representing 7 amino acids in the cavelolin-1 scaffolding domain (CSD) that is being developed as a novel therapy for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). IPF is a progressive, fatal, age-associated lung disease with a median survival from diagnosis of 2-4 years. The adjusted incidence and prevalence of IPF is estimated to be in the range of 0.091.30 and 0.334.51 per 10,000 persons, respectively per year in Europe and North America. According to these prevalence estimates, IPF remains a rare disease. The pathogenesis of IPF is characterized by apoptosis and senescence of alveolar epithelial type 2 cells (AEC2), proliferation and accumulation of activated myofibroblasts, deposition of extracellular matrix, and fibrosis, resulting in progressive dyspnea and loss of lung function. IPF is rare in patients younger than 50 years old with a median age at diagnosis of approximately 65 years. Most patients with IPF present with advanced disease. Two FDA-approved anti-fibrotic drugs, Nintedanib and Pirfenidone, slow the decline of lung function as measured by forced vital capacity and showed modest efficacy in reducing acute respiratory exacerbations and hospitalization for respiratory events. Although both drugs are approved for marketing in the United States and the European Union; unfortunately, neither drug is curative and provide only modest clinical benefit in IPF patients. Furthermore, both drugs are poorly tolerated leading to frequent discontinuations. The limited known benefits of these drugs and poor tolerability raise the possibility that more effective pharmacotherapy for IPF and related interstitial lung diseases can be identified.

To evaluate the role of endothelial to mesenchymal transition in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension. (2022 - 2023)$72,726
- Description
- IPF is a relatively common and devastating lung disease that occurs in late age and elderly people, with an average survival of just 3 years. Our major goal through this project is to provide novel understanding of the early pathology of IPF and its driving mechanisms. Understanding the mechanisms in early IPF disease will have huge therapeutic implications. It will lead to earlier and more accurate diagnosis and allow for the monitoring of response to therapy at its earliest stages. This study will provide significant understanding and contribution of EndMT towards pulmonary hypertension and fibrogenesis of IPF. Our prime focus will be to target EndMT, which we believe is one of the fundamental pathological mechanisms that leads to increase in myofibroblasts and fibrotic destruction of the lung tissue. We would also compare the findings from the current study to other chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD to understand differences in pathology of different disease of same organ.

Improving outcomes for babies born in North West Tasmania: a quality improvement study (2022)$72,661
- Description
- The wellbeing of women during pregnancy affects the health of the unborn baby. This can also have lasting effects, for example abnormal lung function tests in early life persist into adulthood and could result in COPD in later life. Pregnant mothers in NW Tasmania are more commonly overweight and obese, and a higher proportion of pregnant women smoke compared to the rest of Tasmania and Australia. Both these problems during pregnancy could result in problems during pregnancy, birth complications, medical problems in early life, and ultimately affect chronic diseases in adulthood. This led to two current research projects to address both excessive weight gain and smoking during pregnancy. The first is - 14 - CCF Application for Research Grant aimed at minimising excessive weight gain during pregnancy and the other is to monitor carbon monoxide during pregnancy, ultimately hoping to reduce smoking during pregnancy. This study proposes to look at how these interventions in pregnancy will impact the health of the babies. If found to be successful, these low-cost interventions could lead to immediate improved health outcomes, affect chronic disease in later life and it could easily be introduced in similar regional and socio-economically disadvantaged areas of the world.

- Description
- The damaging health effects of active and second-hand cigarette smoking are well documented. Tobacco smoke exposure is the primary cause of COPD and lung cancer. However, the prevalence of tobacco smoking is on the gradual decline. In response to this, the tobacco industry is currently changing strategies, shifting the focus from tobacco cigarettes and promoting the safer alternative in e-cigarettes. e-cigarettes still deliver nicotine and the number of dual users (traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes) is alarming.We aim to evaluate the effects of e-cigarettes on:1.Promoting airway inflammation.2.Airway remodelling changes.3.Increasing respiratory infections.

Detection of early small airway abnormalities in apparently normal smokers (2021)$15,794
- Description
- The aim of this project is to detect early lung function changes in smokers to change disease trajectory.We will achieve this by measuring the following variables:1.Spirometry (the current reference measure of lung function based on performance of the large airways); 2. Forced Oscillation Technique(FOT; a measure of small airway function); and, 3. Blood biomarkers of respiratory inflammation and degradation of pulmonaryextracellular matrix, in three groups of individuals: 1. patients with chronic obstructive respiratory disease (COPD), 2. smokers with normallung function; and, 3. healthy individuals who have never smoked in order to find the relationship between the measures of spirometry,FOT and biomarkers across the sample population.

Antenatal Carbon Monoxide (CO) Monitoring Opt-out Referral Trial (2020)$40,000
- Description
- The project will entail the introduction of routine carbon monoxide (CO) screening for all pregnant mothers attendingantenatal clinics in North West Tasmania to identify mothers and babies who are at high risk during pregnancy. An opt-out recruitment method, usedsuccessfully previously, will be used to maximise the participation of pregnant mothers. It is known that a substantial proportion of pregnant mothersunderreport exposure to tobacco smoke, and the under recognition of this and the subsequent lack of referral to a smoking cessation service are likelyto affect the mother's health as well as resulting in lifelong health consequences for the unborn baby.

What drives the regulation of the zinc transporter ZIP7 in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle? Implications for the treatment of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. (2020)$17,607
- Description
- Insulin resistance (IR) is a disorder where cells do not respond to insulin and therefore glucose and fat metabolism are compromised. IR is present before, and contributes to, the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and several pathological conditions and complications including blindness, neurodegenerative disease, heart disease, kidney failure, amputations and reduced quality of life. Despite extensive research, there is challenging uncertainty of the molecular mechanisms of IR. Recently, we have published a role for zinc and the zinc transporter protein ZIP7 in control of glucose metabolism in IR skeletal muscle. However, a major 'gap' in this work is the lack of understanding of how ZIP7 is regulated in IR. Delineating how ZIP7 is regulated is highly significant to understand how this zinc transporter might be targeted pharmacologically and lead to clinical interventions for the treatment of IR. Accordingly, we hypothesise that ZIP7 modulates cellular pathways that control glucose metabolism in IR skeletal muscle and is therefore amendable to clinical intervention for the treatment of IR.

Establishment of a Tasmanian lung cancer registry: a north and north-west collaborative initiative. (2020 - 2021)$72,727
- Description
- Despite the health initiatives in tobacco control, Tasmania continues to have the second highest smoking rates in the nations after Northern Territory. According to the Cancer Council Tasmania, current smoking rates for the state is 18.9% compared to national current smoking rate of 16.0%. Due to high smoking rates lung cancer is now one of the major killers in Tasmania. Smoking also leads to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which is a major risk factor for lung cancer. Nearly 70% of lung cancer occurs in early COPD. So, in Tasmania we have high prevalence of lung cancer but also a high-risk current smoking population with or without COPD. According to Lung Foundation Australia, lung cancer currently is Australia's biggest cancer killer. It kills more people than breast, prostate and ovarian cancers combined. One Australian dies every hour from lung cancer. Australians diagnosed with lung cancer in 2017 were 12,500 i.e. 34 people per day and it is on an upward trajectory. We aim to establish a Tasmanian Lung Cancer Registry.

Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM): implications for better understanding and new therapeutic targets (2019 - 2022)$30,000
- Description
- LAM is a rare disorder that affects women, especially during their reproductive age, by progressively destroying the lungs leading to complete incapacitation. There have been very few effective therapies available yet, with the highly invasive lung transplantation being the only option available as a possible cure. Although drug treatment are available, they are moderately effective or have variable outcomes and their possible long-term side effects in patients are still unknown. This in part is because many aspects of the underlying pathogenesis remains a mystery and needs urgent deciphering. Interestingly, cells in LAM patients share identical morphological and cellular signatures to other fibrotic disorders such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), small airway disease (SAD) in smokers and lung cancer. Our experience in these diseases would suggest that epithelial cells could be the possible source of LAM cells. Here, we wish to investigate new paradigm that will take into account some unique features of LAM, which includes the source of cellular heterogeneity, epithelial transformation capabilities and their potential metastasizing factors. We further also hope to develop in-vitro cell culture models with LAM cells that will serve as a useful tool for further investigations into disease pathogenesis and the development of possible new therapeutic targets.

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) and associated Angiogenesis in smoking and COPD airways: investigating the patho-biology of a cancerogenic stroma. (2019)$10,000
- Description
- Almost 70% of lung cancers occur in patients with COPD, but this link is poorly researched. The process of EMT is active in COPD with associated hyper-vascularity. EMT and angiogenesis in the same area has been designated EMT Type-3, which is a recognised dangerous pre-malignant condition. EMT-Type-3 provides a pro-cancer stroma that both stimulates epithelial cancer cell transformation. This study aims to tease out the key drivers of these changes.

Zinc activation of enzymes responsible for insulin signalling and glucose homeostasis in type 2 diabetes (2019)$21,944
- Description
- The inability to respond sufficiently to insulin gradually erodes our health. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) results from such insulin resistance in peripheral tissues such as skeletal muscle. In fact, skeletal muscle is the major peripheral tissue that accounts for 70-80% of glucose uptake. While there are several theories on how insulin resistance may manifest, the molecular mechanisms are still largely unclear. Given the major impact this disorder has on the health of our communities, there is an urgent need for continued basic science to understand these mechanisms to appropriately design better therapeutics to treat this disorder. Recently, zinc has been highlighted as a critical metal ion implicated in maintaining glucose homeostasis and therefore is a vital target to study its effects on insulin resistance. We have recently published a role for this metal ion in regulating glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle cells through the concomitant action of several cell signalling molecules. However, it is unclear how this is achieved. Accordingly, this study aims to address the molecular mechanisms whereby zinc can contribute to the regulation of glucose metabolism in insulin resistant skeletal muscle.

Prevalence of asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap syndrome (ACOS) in north-west Tasmanian population: understanding and translation to early therapy (2019 - 2020)$105,868
- Description
- Asthma and COPD are typically characterised as separate diseases with different clinical features, pathophysiological mechanisms and strategies for treatment. Some respiratory patients appear to have features of both diseases, i.e. a history of asthma and usually smoking, with marked fixed airflow obstruction, which is termed asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap syndrome (ACOS). Exacerbation rates are also quite high in ACOS patients compared to asthma or COPD alone. There is very little known about the disease and it is difficult to manage clinically because the underlying disease mechanisms and prevalence is poorly understood. There is high prevalence of undiagnosed asthma, COPD and even more for ACOS in the North-West (NW) Tasmanian population, where smoking rates are quite high. People from the low socio-economic population in particular experience considerably greater mortality and morbidity from such respiratory diseases compared to rest of the community. Respiratory lung function lab has now been established in the NW for identification of lung diseases. We now wish to apply for funding with an objective to identify the burden of ACOS in the NW population to inform clinical practice for better management of this ill-understood condition.

Airway macrophage phenotypic switch drives epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in smokers and COPD: implications for early therapy. (2019 - 2020)$100,000
- Description
- The M1/M2 phenotype balance has also been especially discussed in the cancer literature as an orchestrator of EMT in driving epithelial malignancies. Such new and translatable insights in COPD are an international priority given the current absence of any significant disease trajectory-modifying drug interventions in clinical practice. Here we continue to focus on EMT in COPD, but especially investigating the role of macrophage-associated cytokines in driving EMT in different patient groups leading to new therapeutic targets.

Zinc contributes to glucose control in the absence of insulin in skeletal muscle (2018)$21,460
- Description
- The inability of the body to respond adequately to insulin following a meal has serious consequences on health. Insulin aids in the uptake of glucose into cells, providing the liver with a store of glucose to maintain blood glucose when needed, and as a vital fuel for energy in skeletal muscle. In an insulin-resistant state, cells cannot utilise glucose, which subsequently causes serious medical conditions including obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Previously, emerging research has shown that zinc and the proteins that transport zinc in cells play a crucial role in activating molecules involved in glucose uptake in skeletal muscle. Recently we have shown that zinc can promote glucose utilisation in the absence of insulin in skeletal muscle. This presents with an opportunity to manipulate zinc metabolism therapeutically to provide an alternative pathway for providing glucose to cells during an insulin-resistant state.

Exploring zinc to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism in human insulin-resistant skeletal muscle (2016)$25,959
- Description
- Describe your project: Insulin resistance (IR) is a disorder that is characterised by the failure of cells in the body to respond to insulin and therefore use glucose efficiently as an energy source. Prolonged IR can lead to Type 2 diabetes (T2D), a devastating disease that is intensifying worldwide. T2D is associated with related diseases including heart disease, obesity, mental illness, and cancer. Although IR is well-researched, its molecular mechanisms are still unclear. Recently, studies involving zinc and the proteins that transport zinc in cells (zinc transporters) have been highlighted for their role in regulating genes and proteins involved in disease. Specifically, one zinc transporter designated as Zip7 is involved in regulating zinc in cells and thus preserving cell function. Accordingly, this project aims to understand the molecular mechanisms of Zip7 and how it can be used to reverse IR and could therefore be amendable to treatment options for T2D.

Novel molecules of heparin for the management of asthma (2014)$4,998
- Description
- Aim: In an international first, this project aims to achieve the evaluation and identification of heparin molecules that inhibit the effect of several important inflammatory mediators involved in the pathogenesis of asthma, without possessing significant anticoagulant effect, with a view towards examining the efficacy of identified molecules in patients with asthma. Methodology: Heparin molecules will be separated and isolated using an ion-chromatography technique. Participants will attend the clinic where 50mL of blood will be taken by a qualified nurse. Mononuclear cells will be isolated from the collected blood. Then the cells will be activated to produce inflammatory mediators in the presence or absence of heparin fractions. Outcome: This research will evaluate and identify the novel molecules responsible for the anti-asthmatic activity of the parent heparin. This study would provide better insight into the mechanism(s) of heparin for its anti-asthmatic activity. It could open new avenues for the development of a heparin formulation with high anti-asthmatic properties but devoid of any anticoagulant activity. This could potentially resolve the safety and non-compliance issues objected upon in previous clinical trials.
