CRC Mission

At CRC, we’re fighting cancer, hoping youwon’t need to. Our extensive cancer research isfunded in large part by the citizens and busi-nesses of central Missouri who, like yourselves,desire a solution to this lethal disease.

Because of the extensive cancer research that

is being performed all over the world, includ-ing right here in Columbia, we are going waybeyond poisoning, radiating and cutting outcancer cells. We are developing procedures tostop cancer before it ever starts and techniquesto treat it that avoid destroying good cells.

The Cancer Research Center in Columbia, Missouri.

The Cancer Research Center

We conduct and sponsor research to reduce cancer deaths by earlier detection,

novel therapies, and identification of environmental and nutritional components

that reduce tumor initiation.

Dear Friends,The year 2006 brought the

Cancer Research Center successas well as inspiration. Ourprostate cancer project is stillprogressing, and we are soproud of our results. Dr. Abe,Alison, and Dr. Rob have beenworking diligently in the lab,as well as at the computer.They’ve been furiously prepar-ing grant applications tosecure funding that will ensurethe completion of the prostatecancer project. The support ofour individual donors, UnitedWays, Order of the EasternStar, Missouri State EmployeeCharitable Campaign, andCosmopolitan Club (just toname a few) have funded theresearch to this point. Wecould not have come this farwithout you. Be sure to readabout our prostate cancerresearch on pages 24–25.

A secondary mission for us atCRC is to train scientists.Internships are an importantpart of the education processfor those who pursue a futurein the field of research, and we

have had the pleasure of work-ing with some top-notch schol-ars. We put them to work inthe laboratory, and they leaveCRC as published scientists withsome very valuable experienceunder their belts. Be sure toread about the interns, theirexperiences, and our scholar-ship program on pages 18–21.

In September, we werereminded that cancer researchscholars come in all shapes andsizes. We were treated to avisit with a student, muchyounger than our typicalintern. After seeing two of hisgrandfathers battle cancer, 11-year-old Aaron Harris ofTuscumbia, Missouri, has decid-ed he wants to do somethingabout the disease and the dev-astation it causes. Read abouthis visit to the CRC laboratoryon page 39.

Cancer Research Center vol-unteers help us in so manyways, but especially in prepar-ing for the Jim KidwellMemorial Gala. In 2006 theyworked so diligently as wehonored our long-time friend,

Hartley Banks Jr. The level ofsupport at the event washeartwarming to all of us whoknew and appreciated Hartley.See highlights of the event onpages 27–38. Mark your calen-dar for Saturday, April 14,when we will again gather atthe Elks Lodge to raise fundsfor the Ray Freese MemorialFellowship.

We sometimes see the unex-pected. For example, did youknow pigs and gators can helpfight cancer? Thanks to ourgenerous friends at FarmPower Lawn and Leisure andapproximately 300 other gen-erous supporters, two pigs anda gator did just that. Readabout the first CRC Pig Roastand John Deere Gator Raffleon page 9 and learn who pur-chased the lucky ticket!

Thank you to our donors,volunteers, and dedicatedstaff. You bring us success andyou are our inspiration.

On October 14, 2006, two pigs and a gatorjoined forces to beat cancer.

Thanks to our generous supporters andraffle participants, our John Deere GatorRaffle was a huge success! The 250 people inattendance feasted on an old-fashionedMissouri barbecue and a good time was hadby all. Jim Cherrington won the Gator andCRC raised more than $5,000.

This event would not have been possiblewithout Farm Power Lawn & Leisure, BruceWilson, Garry Banks, Joel Halley, and all ourgenerous raffle participants. Thanks for allyou do!

In the photo at right, Marnie Tutt (left) explains theground rules. Kathy Freese Weishaar (right) traveledfrom Charlotte, NC, to draw the winning ticket.

Worthy Grand Matron Alice Williamsand husband Ralph from LakeOzark, along with Worthy Grand

Patron Elmer Dixon and wife Ruthann fromShelbina, are pictured with Marnie Tutt aftera luncheon July 7, 2006, at the CancerResearch Center (CRC). After lunch the CRCstaff presented a short program on our con-tinuing efforts to fight cancer. The staffgave our distinguished visitors a tour of thelaboratory and discussed the results ofefforts to develop a Salmonella bacteriawhich will kill PC-3 (prostate cancer cell line)cells. This very promising area of researchhas great potential to treat not onlyprostate cancer but other types as well.

The Order of the Eastern Star is the largestfraternal organization in the world to whichboth men and women may belong.Worldwide, there are approximately onemillion members under the General GrandChapter.

While this is an order composed of peopleof deep spiritual convictions, it is open to allfaiths, except no faith. The personal welfareof members is vital to all of those in theEastern Star and it is considered a privilegeto help another member whenever they can.

Concrete evidence of the charitable nature

of the organization as it affects others is themillions of dollars that have been raisedwithin the membership to support national,jurisdictional, and local charities. Throughthis fraternal service to humanity, the Orderstrives to build a better life for all.

In this spirit of service to humanity, theOrder of the Eastern Star donated a checkfor more than $25,000 to the CancerResearch Center. The check was presentedat the 2006 Jim Kidwell Memorial Gala.Please see a picture of the presentation onpage 40.

CANCER FACTCancer can occur at any age.

Since incidence rises with age, however,most cases affect adults in midlife orbeyond. Among children ages 1–14 years,cancer causes more deaths in the UnitedStates than any other disease. Join CRC inour fight against cancer by remembering aloved one with a donation this year.

CRC Community OutreachEducation Mission

“My work in Dr. Eisenstark’s laboratory was an exceptional introduc-tion to the biological laboratory setting...”

—Cathy Miller, PhD and former CRC scholar

The Cancer Research Center, in conjunction with its research mission, engages students inorder to enhance their scientific backgrounds. There are several support categories, depend-ing upon other academic arrangements.

1. Students can gain experience at CRC while earning undergraduate credit at University ofMissouri-Columbia or other local colleges. Students are assigned a semester project. For eachhour of credit, the student is expected to be in the laboratory approximately three hours perweek. A term paper is submitted at the end of the semester. Since it may be necessary to havea car, CRC provides $100 compensation for each of four months per semester.

For additional compensation, students are encouraged to apply for scholarship funds. UMCstudents should contact Linda Blockus, Tucker Hall. Preference is given to students who haveapplied for scholarship funds.

If an arrangement is made to have the student work additional hours in the laboratory,the student is compensated $8 per hour for the additional hours.

2. If a student desires an intern arrangement without college credit, CRC has limited schol-arship funds for this. The student should submit a resume to the CRC’s Research Director,including a list of college science courses. The stipend for this type of internship is usually$800 for the semester. Again, preference is given to students who have applied for scholar-ship funds.

3. As grants are obtained, CRC may employ technicians who have backgrounds inMicrobiology and Biochemistry.

4. CRC also welcomes graduate students to perform rotations in our laboratory. In suchcases, since it will be necessary to have a car, CRC will provide $100 compensation for each offour months per semester.

Current Research

Prostate cancer is associated with aging andoccurs in a latent or clinical form in 30–40%of men by age 40–50, increasing substan-

tially in men over 50 years of age. Prostate can-cer mortality in men is now second only to lungcancer, and as life expectancy increases so willthe number of men affected. While hormonetherapy is often effective during the initialstages of cancer development, most men devel-op hormone-resistant cancer within two yearsafter onset of the disease. This is why the firstline cancer treatment—chemotherapy utilizingtaxol—has met with only partial success. Manypatients develop taxol resistance and alternativetreatment and new approaches are needed toarrest tumor cell growth.

Recently, genetically engineered non-toxicSalmonella have been utilized as a weaponagainst prostate cancer. These strains prefer toattach and invade tumor cells to normal cells atratios of >1000:1 while not causing the toxiceffects normally seen in systemic Salmonellainfections. A number of these strains(VNP20009, AR-1) have inhibited or eliminatedprostate cancer and breast cancer tissues grownin mice. However, clinical studies using thesestrains have shown unacceptable toxicity levelsin human patients.

Development of the TherapeuticSalmonella Strain CRC2631

The Cancer Research Center has a uniqueopportunity to achieve the balance necessary toturn Salmonella into a dedicated but gentlecancer killer in human patients. Our laboratoryhas thousands of Salmonella samples that differfrom each other genetically but retain the natu-ral tumor-targeting ability described above.These strains have been allowed to age formore than 40 years and have naturally mel-lowed into non-toxic variants. We have focusedour efforts into direct genetic engineering of

our most promising candidates. These changeswere made to meet the following objectives: 1)Reduce the natural toxicity of our therapeuticSalmonella further; 2) Allow survival of theSalmonella in the cancer tissue only, not the cir-culatory system; and 3) Encourage killing ofcancer tissue by Salmonella. We are excitedabout our genetically engineered strainCRC2631 (a genetic descendant of our 1674Salmonella described last year) that has beenshown to attach, invade, and specifically destroythe energy-producing mitochondria in PC-3Mcancer cells (Slides 1, 3). Mitochondria areessential for supplying power to cancer cells;their destruction leads to death of the cancercells. CRC2631 kills PC-3M prostate cancer cellswithout breaking the cells open and spillingtheir contents into the surrounding area. Suchspilling is a very strong immune system triggerthat produces undesirable toxic side effects in

cancer patients. All the strains previously testedin human patients broke cancer cells open afterfive hours, and this may have been responsiblethe unacceptable toxicity levels during therapy(Slide 2).

We are currently raising mice that naturallydevelop prostate tumors to confirm CRC2631non-toxicity and measure how much Salmonellais required to destroy solid prostate tumors inmice. Upon completion of the mouse toxicityexperiments, we plan to move forward to clini-cal testing.

How Does Therapeutic Salmonella Target and Kill Tumors?

In addition to development of new therapeu-tic Salmonella strains, we are focusing ourefforts to discover answers to the followingquestions: 1) Why is Salmonella specificallyattracted to cancer cells? 2) How does ourSalmonella attach to and invade solid tumors?3) How does our Salmonella kill cancer cells bydegrading mitochondria? Answering thesequestions will tell us what functions are impor-tant during each stage of Salmonella-based can-cer therapy and enable us to improve our thera-peutic strains.

One way to determine which characteristicsof Salmonella are important for cancer therapyis to measure which genes are activated whenSalmonella is allowed to attach, invade, and kill

cells. Once we know which genes Salmonellaneeds to exert its anti-cancer effects, we canamplify these genetic functions while reducingor eliminating other functions that might causetoxic side effects. We are currently workingwith Drs. Michael McClelland and SteffenPorwollik at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Centerto identify which CRC2631 Salmonella genes areturned on when co-incubated with PC-3Mprostate cancer cells. We expect this work to becompleted in the first half of 2007.

In order to track Salmonella attachment andinvasion, we have inserted a gene into ourSalmonella strain that makes it glow red orgreen under a fluorescent microscope. Thisallows us to easily quantify how quicklySalmonella can attach to any particular cancercell. We have identified that our CRC2631strain attaches to PC-3M prostate cancer cellswithin the first 20 minutes of co-incubation,demonstrating that our therapeutic Salmonellacan quickly recognize and attach to cancer cells.(Slides 4, 5) These red fluorescent strains canalso be used to identify where Salmonella pref-erentially invade and persist within solidtumors, characteristics that may determine howfast a particular Salmonella strain destroys can-cer within the body. We are collaborating withProfessor Cheryl Nickerson of Arizona StateUniversity who has experience at growing largenumbers of three-dimensional solid tumors inreactors that simulate the physiological condi-tions found in the body. Observing the way ourCRC2631 and other therapeutic Salmonella can-didates attach, invade, persist, and destroythese solid tumors will tell us how Salmonellaperforms these functions and allow us to quick-ly screen out superior cancer-killing strains.

Thanks to our generous supporters and a lotof hard work, our Salmonella strains are well ontheir way to becoming a potent yet gentletreatment for prostate cancer.

Research Director’s Message

This has been a significantyear of cancer researchprogress at CRC!

We are fully aware thatour generous supporters arean important factor in thisprogress. In January 2006,Dr. Robert Kazmierczak wasappointed as the RaymondFreese Fellow and has madeimportant contributions toour research program.

With your continued confi-dence in our program, weare optimistic that 2007 willbe a year in which CRC willdevelop a novel approach toextending the lives of cancervictims. Progress may bereviewed in this annualreport. In particular, ourexciting accomplishment hasbeen to genetically engineerthe bacterial organismSalmonella typhimurium sothat it will maximally destroytumor cells without harmingnormal cells. A dozengenetic changes were madeto rid the attacking bacteriaof its toxic properties, whileenhancing its tumor destruc-tion properties.

Although we have succeed-ed in demonstrating prostatetumor cell destruction by spe-cial microscope observations,we will soon extend our stud-ies to include experimentswith mice. During 2007, stepone will be to verify that ourtherapeutic bacteria are harm-

less to mice. This will beaccomplished within the nextfew weeks. Step two will beto inject mice that have vari-ous stages of prostate cancer,and to follow the reduction oftumor size, and hopefully,complete cure.

Our research accomplish-ments would not be possiblewithout collaborators fromother laboratories. Weexpress our appreciation toDrs. Michael McClelland andStephen Porwollik(Salmonella microarrays);Sidney Kimmel CancerCenter, San Diego; Dr. CherylNickerson (Solid TumorExperiments), Arizona StateUniversity; Dr. David Smith(Salmonella-Cancer attach-ment), Emory University; andespecially to our colleaguesat University of Missouri-Columbia, Dr. Heide Schatten(Salmonella Invasion), Dr.Raghuraman Kannan

(Therapeutic NanoparticleAttachment), Dr. Tom Phillips(Colon Cancer Therapy), Dr.Michael Calcutt (SalmonellaCharacterization), and Dr. BillCaldwell, Cancer ResearchCenter Curator Professor.

We expect that our annualreport for 2008 will outlineplans to move from mouseexperiments to human clini-cal trials. Also, although ourcurrent model deals withprostate tumors, we also planto demonstrate the effective-ness of this new therapy forother types of cancers.

In addition to our in-houseresearch, CRC is proud of itsstudent scholarship program.As in the past, our highschool and college under-graduate trainees, with theirpassion for careers in cancerresearch, are destined forpositions in the best of labo-ratories. Five undergraduatestudents will be part of ourresearch team in 2007. Thescientific progress of ourrecent trainees is included inthis annual report.

Thank you so much foryour continued confidence inour experiments aimed atreducing cancer mortality.We could not continue thisresearch without you!!!

With our best wishes foryour good health,

Sincerely,Abraham Eisenstark

Dr. Abraham Eisenstark, CRCResearch Director.

At CRC we know thatscientists come in allsizes. Encouraging

young people, even when it issomething as simple as adviceon a school science project,can touch off the career of acancer researcher or Nobelprize winner. You just neverknow. CRC is committed tothe community, and whenAaron Harris wanted to tour aworking lab and discuss hisscience project, we jumped atthe opportunity. Everyone inthe lab had a great time visit-ing with an eager young sci-entist and his family. Keep upthe good work, Aaron!

CRC has a rather strangegarden to tend. Whilemost toil in the soil to

grow blooms and veggies, wegrow cancer cells. Every daythey are checked, fed, andtended. Depending on thestrain, a week or so later weharvest the garden, set aside

some “seed” for the next crop,and use the cells to test andperfect our cancer-hungrySalmonella strain. Some gar-den in soil—we garden in bot-tles, but the rewards are stilljust a rich.

CRC Lab Manager Alison Fea looks on as Andrew and Aaron Harris learnto streak material out on an agar plate. Practice makes perfect!

At right, Ray Freese Fellow Dr. RobKazmierczak is hard at work in thetissue culture hood.

Raymond Freese, a local builder, developer, and president ofBoone County Lumber Company, was a member of the CRCBoard of Trustees for 21 years, beginning in 1973. He workedtirelessly to secure funding and support for various CRC projectsand was especially devoted to the CRC Gala. Ray lost his sisterand several close friends to cancer and decided to do what hecould to fight this lethal disease. Unfortunately, he lost his ownbattle with cancer in 1994. After his death, the CRC Board ofTrustees set up the Raymond W. Freese Memorial Fellowship.This fellowship is awarded to promising postdoctoral scientistsfor an initial one-year appointment, with reappointment foradditional years based on performance. The stipend is compara-ble to those awarded by the Health Sciences Center at theUniversity of Missouri-Columbia. The major research project isprostate tumor therapy with genetically altered Salmonella.Applicants are expected to have (1) expertise in molecular genet-

ics of bacteria, (2) willingness to develop a mouse testing model, (3) skills in writing grant proposalsand manuscripts, (4) skills in presenting research results at national meetings, and (5) skills to developprojects independently and creatively.
