Prof. Betty Schwartz is a professor of Nutritional Sciences. Academic Co-Chair of the International MSc in Nutritional Sciences. Head of the Diabetes research center, The Hebrew University The Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Her research interests centers on the examination of numerous agents present in foods that can act as chemo preventive agents and exert their activity on multiple signal transduction, transcriptional regulation and activation of several apoptotic cascades in various tumor cells and animal models of colorectal cancer or associated colon cancer (induced by inflammation of the bowel). Adipose tissue in obesity differs from adipose tissue in lean subjects/animals. Differences are evident in the immunogenic profile, body fat distribution and metabolic profile. Adipose tissue in obesity releases free fatty acids (FFAs), and many pro-inflammatory chemokines, factors known to play a key role in regulating malignant transformation or cancer progression. Our goal is to identify key molecular signals and interactions between adipocytes and colon cancer cells that may foster the genesis and growth of the latter. We aim finding crosstalk mechanisms connecting inflammatory pathways to bioenergetic pathways. Linking both approaches may lead to a more complete picture relating obesity to colorectal cancer. Additionally, we have recently started to study the effect of ostreolysin, a fungal protein that can specifically increase brown adipocyte differentiation and may be used as a future drug for obesity. This molecule is also being tested as a putative pro-apoptotic anticancer treatment.
