(ISTERH/NTES/HTES '07 acknowledges the generous support from the ARISTIDES DASKALOPOULOS FOUNDATION , HAROKOPIO UNIVERSITY, and the WILD BLUEBERRY ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA )

Chair: Dorothy Klimis-Zacas
Co-Chair: Mary Yannakoulia

Purpose of Session: Recent advances in molecular biology and biochemistry have uncovered the crucial role trace minerals play on the vascular endothelium and cardiovascular disease. Current research on the role(s) manganese, selenium and copper have in cell-signaling, expression of cytoprotective genes and vascular and microvascular regulation will be discussed in this session. Manganese has been documented to be involved in arterial glycosaminoglycan metabolism and structure resulting in atheroprotection. Additionally, manganese is critical in maintenance of vasomotor tone by affecting the nitric oxide and cyclo-oxygenase pathways. Selenium as a component of potent antioxidant enzymes, the selenoproteins, directly neutralizes proatherogenic reactive oxygen species. The regulatory role of individual selenoproteins in orchestrating the expression of genes necessary for endothelial cell survival during oxidant stress through their ability to control redox sensitive signaling events will be discussed. Dietary copper and cuproenzymes play a significant role in microvascular control mechanisms such as endothelium-dependent regulation of arteriolar vascular smooth muscle. Dietary copper deficiency, with its resultant inactivation of cuproenzymes, affects nitric oxide-mediated dilation, increases superoxide anion (O2) production and decreases NO availability.

14:30-17:30 Five Concurrent Sessions (Symposia A and B; Minisymposium #1, #2, and #3)

Symposium A--MINOS

Copper in Neurologic and Neurodegenerative Diseases

(ISTERH/NTES/HTES '07 acknowledges the generous support from PIPEX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC )

Chair: George Brewer
Purpose of session: The symposium will feature exciting new work implicating copper in Alzheimer’s disease. This includes animal model work in which copper exacerbates Alzheimers – like pathology and symptoms, evidence in humans that higher copper levels in the diet accelerate cognitive decline, and evidence that Alzheimer’s disease patients have elevated levels of “free” copper. The role of copper in other neurodegenerative diseases will also be discussed as well as therapeutic approaches to lowering copper levels.

Symposium B--ATHENA-ARTEMIS

Health Effects of Low Dose Exposure to Toxic Metals

Symposium organized in collaboration with the Scientific Committee on the Toxicology of Metals, International Commission on Occupational Health

(ISTERH/NTES/HTES '07 acknowledges the generous support from FORMAS [The Swedish Research Council for Environment, Agricultural Sciences and Spatial Planning], ATSDR [Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services] )and ICOH [International Commission on Occupational Health])

Chair: Gunnar Nordberg
Co-Chair: Bruce Fowler

Purpose of session: Recent data indicate that adverse effects on human health occurs at very low exposures to toxic metals. Effects have been shown even at background levels of exposure in groups of the general population. These effects are due to a combination of factors in addition to exposure to the toxic metal in question. Important factors are defective expression of chaperone proteins, combined exposure to other toxic substances and/or unfavorable life-style factors as well as genetic factors. This symposium aims at displaying recent findings in this field and to discuss these findings as a basis for future research. New research technologies should be employed(proteomics,metabolomics and genomics) for investigation of the health effects of the combined impact of the mentioned factors at low dose exposure to toxic metals.

Plenary Session #2, Part A: RAULIN AWARD lecture

Chair: George Brewer

(ISTERH/NTES/HTES '07 acknowledges the generous support from the LABCATAL PHARMACEUTICAL)

Purpose of Session: Primary zinc deficiency, “highly unlikely” in 1959, now common, impairs gene expression and health of progeny. The essentiality of Zn for reproduction is known from experiments in model systems that began more than 50 years ago, and observations on humans that began more than 30 years ago. From this background it is clear Zn deficiency increases risk of abortion, teratology, fetal-stunting, prematurity, and residual functional abnormalities. That there is a problem in the USA, is suggested by the similar associations of iron (Fe) and Zn nutriture with food choices. Zinc is one of several micronutrients essential for metabolic imprinting that affects later health involves epigenetic mechanisms. Given the world prevalence of Zn deficiency, conservatively estimated at 20.5%, the contribution of developmental Zn nutriture to human health in later life begs clarification and application. At the same time, research is needed for understanding of how Zn nutriture affects metabolic imprinting in isolated cells, other species, and humans.

Plenary Session #2, Part B: Trace element nutrition and dietary recommendations

Chair: Jeanne Freeland-Graves
Co-Chair: Rebecca Costello

Purpose of Session: Speakers in this session have worked with dietary requirements, international nutrition and dietary standards. Methods of development of dietary standards vary significantly throughout the world, from emphasis on prevention of deficiency diseases to optimal health. This symposium will make a global comparison of dietary standards of trace elements in developed, transitional and developing countries. Future needs for dietary standards in terms of new trace elements to be considered, as well as changes needed because of new scientific findings, will be a focus of this presentation.

Plenary Session #3: Trace Element Speciation

Chair: Yngvar Thomassen
Co-Chair: Ryszard Lobinski

Purpose of Session: This symposium presents the state of the art view on the importance of element speciation in the understanding and rationalization of the biological chemistry and toxicity of elements. The feasibility of speciation depends mainly on the capability to identify and determine element species and to demonstrate that species measurement represents a clear improvement compared to total element determination. The determination of the concentrations of separate and unique atomic and molecular forms of an element instead of its total concentration in a sample, is now a frequent exercise in many scientific disciplines. It has become important in human biology, nutrition, and toxicology - in clinical practice more generally it has yet to do so. The symposium will discuss examples of several areas in which considering speciation has contributed to our understanding of the interaction of metal and metalloid elements with the human organism.

14:30-17:30 Five Concurrent Sessions (Symposia C, D, and E; Minisymposium 4 and 5)

Symposium C--MINOS

Environmental Stress and Mineral Homeostasis

Chair: James McClung

Purpose of Session: Mineral homeostasis is vulnerable to a variety of environmental stressors including heat, altitude, and weightlessness. The symposium summarizes current understanding of the effect environmental stress on human physiology. This includes discussion of the effects of physical training on mineral loss (with emphasis on perturbations of iron and zinc metabolism); hypobaric pressure on mineral dependent enzymes; and weightlessness on bone demineralization and calcium metabolism.

     14:30 "Overview of human physiological responses to environmental extremes”, Andrew Young

     15:00 "Iron Homeostasis in Environmental Extremes”, James McClung

     15:30 "Mineral homeostasis at high altitude: focus on antioxidants”, Andrew Subudhi

     16:00 Delegate Coffee Break (OLYMPUS)

     16:30 "Mineral homeostasis during spaceflight: bone demineralization”, Scott Smith

     17:00 "Mineral losses during extreme environmental conditions”, Henry C. Lukaski

Symposium D--ATHENA-ARTEMIS

Molecular mechanisms of metal induced disease

Chair: Max Costa
Co-Chair: Michael Aschner

Purpose of Session: Environmental exposure to excessive concentrations of trace minerals lead to significant morbidity and mortality. However, there is little understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for metal-induced disease. This symposium summarizes progress made in understanding some of those molecular mechanisms. It will emphasize new findings that the stabilization of HIF-1 alpha and histone methylation contribute to nickel ion carcinogenicity. Also, that any change in dietary iron levels exacerbates brain manganese accumulation and alters normal brain iron distribution in multiple discrete brain regions.

     14:30 "Changes In Dietary Iron Levels Affect Brain Manganese accumulation and distribution”, Michael Aschner

     15:00 "Molecular Carcinogenicity of Nickel Ions targets HIF-1 Prolyl Hydroxylases and Histone-3 Lysine 9 Demethylases”, Max Costa

Symposium E--EUROPA-DANAE

Advances in Analytical Detection of Trace Elements in Biological Tissues

Chair: Sophie Ermidou-Pollet
Co-Chair: Edouard Jallot
Co-Chair: Maria Luisa de Carvalho
Co-Chair: Enrico Sabbioni

Purpose of Session: Progress in trace element research depends very much on the use of appropriate methodologies and their improvement. The progressive availability of new physical methods have very much increased the possibilities for quantitative and local (including subcellular) studies of chemical elements in biological systems. The recent improvements in the methods of detection and their application in nutrition and medicine, as well as the problems associated with the determination of trace elements will be presented during this session by “high level” scientist speakers having great experiences in these fields.

Plenary Session #4: Health Consequences of Trace Element Deficiencies

Chair: Sophie Ermidou-Pollet
Co-Chair: Ivana Djujic
Co-Chair: Manfred Anke
Co-Chair: Maria Kapsokefalou

Purpose of Session: Deficiencies of trace elements have profound effects on the development, health and well being of humans. They may affect human reproduction, the progression of pregnancy and the development of newborns and young children, a very important problem, especially in developing countries. Diagnosis of deficiency and the monitoring of individuals receiving treatment require the knowledge of both the trace element status of these individuals prior treatment and, in case of deficiency, the trace element requirements needed for restoring an adequate trace element status. The invited speakers are internationally recognized experts or clinicians. Their knowledge, experiences, and qualifications will give to the participants the opportunity to learn about the state-of-art developments in the field of trace element nutrition and human development, both physical and economic.
