Showhouse for a Cure 2016 Christy Foote Fighter Award 2016 The WBCS board of directors established the Christy Foote Fighter Award in 2014 to recognize the tireless efforts of an individual or entity dedicated to ending breast cancer and prostate cancer. This award is given annually in honor and in memory of past board member and Founding Chair of the WBCS Tee Up For A Cure Golf Outing, Christine Hamilton Foote (March 12, 1950 – February 5, 2014). Until the very end, Christy fought breast cancer with grace, dignity and with fierce determination. The 2016 recipient of this prestigious award is Barbara Blutstein. Barbie was an early and important volunteer and leader of the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse (WBCS, Inc.) and the spirit and energy she brought to our organization is unmatched. There was never a task or challenge that she wouldn’t accept–always with a smile on her face–and always accomplished to perfection. Barbie’s inclusive warmth and infectious enthusiasm was contagious and she enveloped everyone she met with immediate and never-ending friendship. You needed to only meet Barbie once to feel as though you had known her a lifetime.
Barbie was a one-of-a-kind woman who cared generously for her family and her community, and her impact on Milwaukee is indelible. In addition to the endless amounts of time and effort she dedicated to the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse, Barbie shared her talents and her heart with many other organizations. Included among her favorites were the Channel 10–Public TV Auction year after year, the United Way, the Jewish Museum of Milwaukee, where she served as president, and the Blood Center of Wisconsin, where she was a passionate board member. She was also extremely devoted to the Children’s Outing Association (COA), the Jewish Federation, the Wells College Alumni Association, the Wisconsin Junior Tennis Association and Tempo. When someone once asked her why she spent so much time volunteering for WBCS and other organizations, Barbie challenged, “Why not?” We lost Barbie far too early, in September 2015, but her spirit and her legacy will live on. Through this award, we thank Barbie and the entire Blutstein family for sharing her gentle, caring soul with WBCS and we promise to continue fighting on her behalf in the years to come. n

Scientific Review Committee Front row: Carol Williams, PhD; Diane Zore; Jan Lennon; Mark W. Bosbous, MD. Back row: Alysandra Lal, MD, PhD; Ravi Misra, PhD; Edward Ward; Ming You, MD, PhD; Mark F. Blake, MD. WBCS, Inc. directed $350,000 to research at the MCW Cancer Center in 2015, bringing its cumulative investment since 1998 to $5.8 million. Significantly, MCW scientists who have been awarded WBCS basic science seed funding have directly leveraged this investment into an additional $45.4 million in funding by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and other extramural funding. To date, the WBCS research funding impact exceeds $51 million. WBCS is the largest philanthropic annual donor for adult cancer at MCW. The impact of WBCS and other philanthropic seed funding goes far beyond any monetary measure. Without the ability provided by early-stage funding to substantiate an application for an NIH or NCI award, potentially breakthrough basic science research might not happen. A recent American Cancer Society report highlighting the importance of basic science research tells the story. It states, “For decades, research funded by the NIH and the NCI has played a role in every major cancer prevention, detection, and treatment advance.” WBCS provides a seed fund framework for building future NIH and NCI basic science funding opportunities. According to Cancer Center Director Ming You, MD, PhD, “Our partnership with WBCS helps drive the direction of the MCW Cancer Center by strengthening our research portfolio and allowing us to support innovative peer-reviewed research.” He elaborates on this theme, saying, “This investment has helped us secure large, federally funded grants for ideas that could transform breast cancer and prostate cancer care. The commitment from WBCS inspires all of us to work even harder toward our shared dream of significantly reducing the burden created by breast cancer and prostate cancer.” In addition to its ongoing commitment to underwrite pilot research grants, MCW Cancer Center Development Staff WBCS has funded an EnPeggy LeBrun, Director-Volunteer and dowed Professor in Basic Event Fundraising; Rebecca Emmons, Breast Cancer Research. Director of Development. Dr. Hallgeir Rui, MD, PhD, 14
the inaugural holder of this WBCS endowed chair, is hailed as a transformational leader by his peers. Providence smiled on WBCS’s commitment to research when Dr. Rui accepted MCW’s recruitment offer. His spouse, Marja Nevalainen, MD, PhD, an accomplished researcher and mentor, joined the faculty too. Her expertise is directed to prostate cancer research. She is working to develop effective pharmacological therapies for advanced cases. Dr. Nevalainen has listed some current MCW prostate cancer research initiatives, and Dr. Rui has provided a commentary of the current MCW breast cancer research program and its goals, elsewhere in this program. WBCS Scientific Review Committee Critically important to WBCS is stewardship of generous donor dollars entrusted to WBCS. Oversight of WBCS-funded research is provided by the WBCS Scientific Review Committee (SRC). Composed of peer scientists, knowledgeable survivors and community physicians, the SRC meets annually to review competitive, peer-reviewed proposals that meet WBCS requirements. These proposals are ranked in the same manner and with the same stringent guidelines as NIH proposals. As background to the applications, the Cancer Center calls for proposals, convenes a committee of scientists to review and rank proposals, and sends the top applications that fall within WBCS guidelines to the SRC. At the annual SRC meeting, the merits of each of the finalist proposals are discussed. Those recommended for approval by the SRC are forwarded to the WBCS board of directors for final approval and funding. The rigorous assessment of proposals over time has paid handsome dividends through extramural funding success achieved by WBCS-supported scientists. In general, approved proposals are funded over two years. Progress reports are assessed by peer scientists before recommending funding the second year, thereby always ensuring the best use of WBCS’s philanthropic support. New Young Investigative Research Scholar Award In addition to funding three novel research proposals and approving the second year of funding for last year’s awardees, upon recommendation of the SRC and approval by the WBCS board of directors, a three-year, $50,000 annual award totaling $150,000 was established to name a WBCS Young Investigative Research Scholar. This award may be used to recruit an outstanding junior PhD scientist in conjunction with the recruitment of a Breast Cancer Clinical Program Leader. Establishing the award gives WBCS another exciting opportunity to help advance important breast cancer research at the MCW Cancer Center. n

WBCS Grants 2016 Large Center Grant Researchers Carol Williams, PhD, has provided an update on the 2012 WBCS $100,000 Large Center Grant in Breast Cancer Research. This award supports a group of Cancer Center scientists and clinician investigators who are sharing innovative ideas and novel techniques to develop new ways to halt the growth of breast tumors and inhibit metastasis. WBCS support is allowing these researchers to gather the experimental data required to apply to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for a Program Project Grant (PPG). A new PPG application will be submitted to the NCI in September 2016. Hallgeir Rui, MD, PhD, the WBCS, Inc. endowed Professor in Breast Cancer Research, is providing strong leadership for the application. Dr. Rui is an internationally recognized expert in the molecular causes of breast cancer and the development of new approaches for personalized cancer care. Dr. Rui has helped develop new scientific directions and synergistic themes that will enhance the success of the PPG application. The breast cancer research program continues to expand, fostering collaborative efforts among basic scientists and clinician investigators from many MCW departments. n

Independent Seed Grants 2016 Andrey Sorokin, PhD, Professor, Medicine/Nephrology, Medical College of Wisconsin Research Title: “Role of Shc Proteins in Mammary Tumor Progression” The Sorokin laboratory has discovered a novel mechanism of regulation of FOXO (a type of protein that plays important roles in regulating the expression of genes) by a member of a family of adaptor proteins termed Shc, which may be responsible for the progression of breast cancer. An exclusive opportunity exists to evaluate directly the contributions of individual Shc proteins to mammary tumor progression by studying unique genetically modified rat strains depleted of individual members of the Shc family of proteins. These rat strains will be used in a well-established model of chemically-induced mammary cancer. At least one of the rat strains from the laboratory’s unique set of rats is expected to demonstrate relative resistance to chemically-induced tumor formation and growth, which will allow the novel key player in the progression of mammary tumors to be identified. The proposed studies are important because they will allow identification of potentially novel effective biomarkers and/or useful targets for treatment.
Anjishnu Banerjee, PhD, Assistant Professor of Biostatistics, Medical College of Wisconsin Research Title: “Bayesian Ensemble Prediction for Identifying and Classifying Heterogeneity of Cell Types in Prostate Cancer” One in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Improving diagnostic accuracy is essential for preventing suboptimal, ineffective treatment or unnecessary procedures that can lead to impotence, incontinence and other factors affecting quality of life. In particular, early diagnosis of indolent versus aggressive cancer can lead to substantial improvements in treatment. Early diagnosis using advanced multi-faceted MRI has become standard of care in prostate cancer. Valuable information in these advanced MR images can be used to predict the location-specific grade of cancer using machine learning approaches to develop sophisticated algorithms with more predictive power than current approaches. Such automated detection has tremendous potential for reducing misdiagnosis, leading to improved treatment and substantial reduction in unnecessary procedures. Elementary versions of the proposed techniques show promising performance in simulated data. Fine tuning these techniques should lead to additional funding from extramural sources, including the National Institutes of Health.
Carmen Bergom, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor, Radiation Oncology, Medical College of Wisconsin Research Title: “Mapping Tumor Evolution in the Radiation Response in Breast Cancer” Research progress has led to breakthroughs in the systemic treatment of breast cancer, such as Her2-targeted therapies. However, no similar use of tumor information has been utilized for effectively directing the use of radiation therapy. The development of predictive tools for the radiosensitivity of tumors could guide the dosage of radiation administered or lead to the use of other treatments in conjunction with radiation to treat radiation-resistant tumors. Cancer cells have the genetic ability to adapt to inhospitable environments and escape from standard therapies. The goals of this project are to (1) identify key genetic pathways important for tumor adaptations to survive radiation therapy; and (2) validate target genes that are identified and compare them to gene expression profiles in human breast cancer patients. Ultimately, the identification and validation of these pathways could lead to therapeutic targets that will enhance the radiation response in breast cancer. Showhouse For A Cure

WBCS Impact Report 2016 SINCE 1998, WBCS, Inc. (Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse) has donated $5.8 million to the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) for breast cancer and prostate cancer research. This investment has been used to fund innovative seed grants and the WBCS, Inc. Endowed Chair in Breast Cancer Research. Seed grants help investigators pursue promising research by allowing a scientist to begin a new project based on a novel idea or discoveries made in the course of other research. By supporting innovative research at its earliest stages, this type of philanthropic “risk capital” has the potential for significant long-term return. The impact of this money cannot be overstated; in fact, a seed grant is typically the first step in developing new treatments and, ultimately, in identifying potential cures. In dollar terms alone, WBCS has had an impressive impact and return on investment. To date, WBCS seed grants have brought $45.4 million in additional funding to the MCW Cancer Center. Examples from two researchers are outlined here.
In dollar terms alone, WBCS has had an impressive impact and return on investment. To date, WBCS seed grants have brought $45.4 million in additional funding to the MCW Cancer Center. Example: Expression and Function of the Unique Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor SmgGDS in Breast Cancer In 2009, with funding from WBCS, principal investigator Carol Williams, PhD, and her laboratory discovered that SmgGDS levels are elevated in breast tumors, which provided the foundation for their studies of SmgGDS as a promoter of breast cancer. Based on this discovery, the group directed research toward the examination of SmgGDS in breast cancer and found that by decreasing the level of SmgGDS in breast cancer cells, the breast cancer cells have slower growth. Dr. Williams and her colleagues are now developing
drugs against SmgGDS and are testing the ability of these drugs to inhibit the development and progression of breast cancer. Significantly, Dr. Williams transferred her research focus to breast cancer because WBCS seed money offered the opportunity to explore new avenues of discovery. Example: A New Approach at Limiting the Spread of Breast Cancer In 2012, Carol Williams, PhD, was part of a team of researchers that received a $100,000 grant from WBCS to develop a Program Project Grant with an ultimate goal to develop treatments that diminish breast cancer metastasis. This funding led to a five-year, $1.75 million grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Cancer Institute to study an innovative strategy to inhibit breast cancer metastasis. Dr. Williams previously made a discovery that activation of a large family of molecules called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are key in the transformation, growth and spread of breast cancer cells. Inhibiting those GPCRs should shut down the signaling of a protein that drives the spread, or metastasis, of breast cancer tumor cells. In this project, Dr. Williams and her co-investigators are working to develop an innovative strategy to inhibit breast cancer metastasis by repurposing existing medications that target GPCRs—but which are not currently used to treat cancers. Example: Genetic Mapping for Breast Cancer Risk Michael Flister, PhD, received a $100,000 two-year seed grant from WBCS in 2015 to study the breast cancer tumor microenvironment—the non-cancerous cells in malignant tumors. While much emphasis is on cancerous breast tumor cells alone, Dr. Flister proposed to examine how the role of the tumor microenvironment impacts breast cancer risk, metastatic progression, and resistance to treatment. This research led to a five-year, $1.75 million dollar grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Cancer Institute to study genetic modifiers in the tumor microenvironment that impact breast cancer patient outcomes. To do so, he and his team developed the first genetic model to assess breast cancer risk modifiers in the tumor microenvironment, which they use to discover new genes that alter breast cancer risk and progression through the nonmalignant tumor microenvironment. Ultimately, their goal is to use these newly identified genetic risk modifiers of breast cancer to develop novel therapeutic strategies that can be personalized to each breast cancer patient’s unique risk profile.
Drs. Williams and Flister are just two of the many researchers whose work illustrates the importance and success of WBCS support in advancing research that will someday end the devastation created by breast cancer and prostate cancer. Dr. Flister credits WBCS funding with enabling his laboratory to develop what many regard as the world's first tool for discovering genetic risk factors that alter the nonmalignant portions of breast tumors, which we now know makes each patient unique and has a huge impact on disease outcome. Without WBCS funding, these new concepts and models would never have made it from the drawing board to what is now the first NCI-funded program of its kind. Drs. Williams and Flister are just two of the many researchers whose work illustrates the importance and success of WBCS support in advancing research that will someday end the devastation created by breast cancer and prostate cancer. The WBCS mission is one embraced by our donors, volunteers, scientists and community partners. Together, we are making a difference. Together, we are making a measurable impact on better treatments and, ultimately, cures. n 16

Research for a Cure 2016 2016 Progress Report from WBCS Professor Hallgeir Rui, MD, PhD At WBCS’s invitation, Dr. Rui shared the following comments: It has been a whirlwind year of excitement and scientific progress since my recruitment to MCW in July 2015. MCW is a superb institution for advanced biomedical research, with strong infrastructure, impressive core facilities and great people. I was fortunate to bring three of my key laboratory members from Philadelphia to Milwaukee, Dr. Yunguang Sun, Dr. Amy Peck, and Ms. Linna Ge. Ms. Kristen Champion has since joined the team. Thanks to extensive support by the institution and WBCS, we have established a cuttingedge breast cancer research laboratory in the Department of Pathology. Investments in state-of-the-art equipment with increased speed, capacity and computational power have radically enhanced our abilities to perform molecular profiling of breast tumors, to help us make predictions about tumor responsiveness to drugs and drug combinations.
…with the support of a $100,000 grant received from WBCS in 2012, an enthusiastic team of investigators are collaborating to win a major breast cancer program project grant award from the National Cancer Institute. This multidisciplinary effort is co-led by Dr. Carol Williams and me. We have now rigorously documented the reliability of machineassisted digital pathology analysis of tumors. This emerging technology will help pathologists classify cancer more accurately, so that the right patients are matched with the right treatments. In fact, our laboratory has measured levels of 100 therapy-relevant proteins in more than 2,000 breast cancers as part of a consortium effort by several institutions. In a related study, my graduate student, Chelain Goodman, and collaborators characterized an aggressive form of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, and reported a novel mechanism by which stress hormones and related steroids may promote therapy resistance. Another major effort in our laboratory centers on testing of drug responsiveness of human breast cancer in mice. We work with surgeons and pathologists and implant breast tumor fragments from patients into mice. Because a majority of breast cancers are hormone sensitive, we have genetically engineered mice so that their hormone profile better matches that of patients. We are excited to report that human breast tumors grow better in our hormoneimproved mice. Intriguingly, the responsiveness of tumors grown in these mice resembles the responses in patients more closely than when grown in regular mice. Therefore, we are optimistic that new drug combinations that work on breast cancer tested in our mice more likely will work when tested in patients. We are particularly interested in making progress on controlling growth of metastases, which cause the vast majority of breast cancer deaths.
I am proud and honored to be the WBCS Endowed Professor of Breast Cancer Research. Seed grant and collegial research initiatives supported by WBCS are creating opportunities for advancements and novel treatments that otherwise would not be possible. The most exciting aspect of joining the Medical College of Wisconsin is interacting with outstanding colleagues. Many work on breast cancer or prostate cancer, the focus of research support 18
by WBCS. As one example, with the support of a $100,000 grant received from WBCS in 2012, an enthusiastic team of investigators are collaborating to win a major breast cancer program project grant award from the National Cancer Institute. This multidisciplinary effort is co-led by Dr. Carol Williams and me. Dr. Williams has reported on the large center grant’s progress in this year’s Viewbook. Some highlights on the individual researchers collaborating on this effort are worth noting. Dr. Michael Flister brings extensive genetics expertise to the team, and he works to determine how chromosomal regions and genes affect tumor response to therapy. Dr. Robert Miao investigates how Nogo receptor signaling affects therapy response. Dr. Mark McNally applies his expertise to develop and test drugs that modulate gene splicing. Dr. Amit Joshi works on novel methods to deliver drugs to tumors using light-activated release. Dr. Guan Chen investigates how signaling by the p38gamma protein affects breast cancer growth. Pathologist A. Craig Mackinnon is an expert in advanced tumor gene sequencing. Drs. Chris Chitambar, Lubna Chaudhari, and Carmen Bergom are clinician scientists working to initiate a novel and biomarker-centered clinical trial for patients with estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer. The flourishing breast cancer and prostate cancer research programs at MCW benefit immensely from the generous support by WBCS. Investigators and the institution are investing the funds wisely and responsibly for maximum research impact. I am proud and honored to be the WBCS Endowed Professor of Breast Cancer Research. Seed grant and collegial research initiatives supported by WBCS are creating opportunities for advancements and novel treatments that otherwise would not be possible. Hope and excitement, indeed! I look forward to 2017 and WBCS’s 20th anniversary, as we work as partners to find better treatments and, ultimately, cures. n

Our bedroom concept began with a bathroom painted a deep navy and our design grew from there. We decided we would bring a little city to the country, and show how the use of navy can be used from lake to urban spaces alike. We knew that this deep navy blue would pair incredibly well with gold and their use together creates a dynamic contrast. In order to tone all that contrast, we decided to bring in soft shades of cream and off-white. From the linen-like fabric on the bed and the mother of pearl lamps, to the bedding and area rug, the repetition of this cream/off-white helps to calm that vibrant juxtaposition of the navy and gold that we love so much.

Casual slip covered, down-filled small scale sofas create the perfect relaxing getaway space required for easy lakeside living. Complimented with rustic wood and metal finishes, the furnishings and occasional items mix well with the bead board wainscoting and stained beamed ceiling details. Accents, artwork and lighting create interest while the use of books, glass canters, mercury glass and deconstructed lighting add dimension.

The inspiration for this bedroom was to create a fun and whimsical space for a young daughter in the family. The colors we taken from the deep sea artwork and used along with neutrals to keep the palette light and uplifting. Nature is always an inspiration to me and many of the patterns and colors are closely related to the outdoors, in this setting the beach was a great inspiration.

We are pleased to continue our support and participation in this year’s Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse, supporting its mission to raise funds for research to combat both breast and prostate cancer. This year Cathy William’s and Michael Carter’s design focused on creative uses of color and texture. Their concept was to use colors of a traditional lake home in a more dynamic way. Gold accents were used to create juxtaposition against deep navy walls and furniture, while the off whites were used to ground and calm the space. Using soft linen like textures throughout the space, this room’s design works equally well lakeside or in an urban environment.
