项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract This Proposal describes the existing and proposed future activities of a consortium of three research groups in the Boston, MA area whose research has been focused over the past two decades on the pathogenesis of human breast cancer. All three current Project Leaders and the Pathology Core have worked together in a prior P01 led by Dr. Robert Weinberg (Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, MA) for 21 years. As such, the proposed Team has a long history of productive collaborative projects and well-established mechanisms in place to facilitate interactions. The primary focus of the three research groups is to improve our understanding of mechanisms of resistance to currently used therapies and to identify and characterize new therapeutic targets and combination therapies with the goal of clinical translation of the Program's preclinical findings; indeed, some of our findings have already inspired the design of FDA-approved therapeutics with several clinical trials in progress. The interactions between the Leaders and trainees of the component Groups is driven by convening monthly research meetings throughout the academic year and a single research retreat in Western Massachusetts, during which trainees in the participating laboratories meet and present the details of their respective research findings. The productivity of this consortium depends on the complementary research interests and experimental approaches of the component Groups. The participating Groups address therapeutic resistance and novel vulnerabilities in breast cancer from various perspectives, beginning with the defining molecular mechanisms underlying heterogeneity in cellular responses to growth regulatory signals and dissecting epigenetic and transcriptomic heterogeneity in therapeutic resistance and in driving the outgrowth of distant metastases. The respective research emphases of the participating Project Groups are highly complementary and integrated. This complementarity is manifested through repeated cross-fertilization at the conceptual level, the sharing of reagents generated by one Project with others, complementary technologies, and successful joint publications.

项目概要/摘要该提案描述了由三个研究小组组成的联盟的现有和拟议的未来活动马萨诸塞州波士顿地区，过去二十年的研究重点是疾病的发病机制人类乳腺癌。所有三位现任项目负责人和病理学核心都曾在之前的项目中合作过 P01 由 Robert Weinberg 博士（怀特海德生物医学研究所，剑桥，马萨诸塞州）领导了 21 年。因此，拟议的团队有着悠久的富有成效的合作项目历史和完善的团队促进互动的机制。三个研究小组的主要重点是提高我们的了解当前使用的疗法的耐药机制，并识别和表征新疗法治疗靶点和联合疗法，目标是将该计划的临床前研究成果转化为临床发现;事实上，我们的一些发现已经启发了 FDA 批准的疗法的设计多项临床试验正在进行中。各组领导与学员互动由整个学年每月召开的研究会议和一次研究务虚会推动在马萨诸塞州西部，参与实验室的学员会面并介绍详细信息各自的研究成果。该联盟的生产力取决于互补的研究组成小组的兴趣和实验方法。参与小组讨论治疗问题从不同角度研究乳腺癌的耐药性和新的脆弱性，首先是定义细胞对生长调节信号反应异质性的分子机制剖析治疗耐药性和驱动耐药性生长的表观遗传和转录组异质性远处转移。参与项目组各自的研究重点高度互补和整合。这种互补性通过重复的异体受精得以体现。概念层面，与其他项目共享一个项目产生的试剂，互补技术，以及成功的联合出版物。
