Abstract 4058: Acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) contributes to cell proliferation and migration caused by acidic environment in human glioma cells
Conclusions: Extracellular acid reduces proliferation and migration in glioma cells. Extracellular acid induces death of glioma cells via ASIC1a mechanisms. These results indicate the presence of ASIC1a in glioma cells and may play significant role in glioma progression.

Abstract A12: Cancer communication in African American churches
Conclusion: Cancer was a frequent topic for disease-focused messages in African-American churches. In addition, three of the five most frequent disease topics matched the leading causes of death in the African-American community. The match was not as close in regards to leading causes of cancer death. Breast and prostate cancer information was frequently found; however, despite the high rates of mortality associated with lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and leukemia/lymphoma, information on these cancers was present much less frequently. No pancreatic cancer messages were found. Disease related information was seen that inc...
