项目摘要

Project Summary Macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy) is crucial to cellular homeostasis. In healthy cells, high levels of basal autophagy are necessary for proper homeostasis and are required for anticancer immunosurveillance. Malignant transformations can arise when autophagy is impaired. Autophagic activity is low until the tumor outpaces its available nutrient supply. As the tumor outgrows its blood supply, the environment become hypoxic, and autophagy re-activation is necessary for tumor proliferation and invasion. Pharmological inhibition of autophagy by antimalarial drug chloroquine leads to tumor regression, however, this drug is not specific to cancerous cells and has many off-target paths. This dual role of autophagy in cancer complicates our ability to target it therapeutically. It is unknown how autophagic function is restored, and this is a central question in the field. All autophagy activation mechanisms involve the lipid kinase class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex I (PI3KC3-C1) containing tumor suppressor protein BECN1. PI3KC3-C1 is a central initiator, however, its activation mechanism is unknown and this makes it a challenging enzyme to target therapeutically. Discovery of the activation mechanism, at the atomic level, of this central lipid kinase complex through cryo-electron microscopy will greatly aid the ability to rationally design therapeutics to selectively activate or inhibit PI3KC3-C1 at various stages in cancer transformation or proliferation. To identify large-scale changes in the proteome during autophagy reactivation in SILAC (Stable Isotope Labeling with Amino acids in Cell culture) coupled with mass spectrometry will be performed. The objective here is to determine if there is a unique target in proliferating tumors, dependent on a specific autophagy activation mechanism or on a selective autophagy pathway. Ideally, this study would produce new protein candidates to target therapeutically, which would be more specific and less toxic than hydroxychloroquine to treat pancreatic cancers.

项目摘要大噬菌（以下称自噬）对细胞稳态至关重要。在健康细胞中，高基础自噬水平对于适当的稳态是必需的，并且是抗癌所必需的免疫监视。当自噬受损时，可能会出现恶性转化。自噬活性很低，直到肿瘤超过其可用的营养供应。随着肿瘤的血量供应，环境变得低氧，自噬重新激活对于肿瘤是必需的扩散和入侵。抗疟药氯喹铅对自噬的药物抑制作用然而，对于肿瘤的回归，这种药物并非特定于癌细胞，并且具有许多脱靶路径。自噬在癌症中的这种双重作用使我们可以治疗靶向靶向。这是未知的自噬功能如何恢复，这是该领域的核心问题。所有自噬激活机制涉及脂质激酶III类磷脂酰肌醇3-激酶复合物I（PI3KC3-C1）含有肿瘤抑制蛋白BECN1。 PI3KC3-C1是中央发起者，但是，其激活机制尚不清楚，这使其成为目标的挑战性酶在治疗上。在原子水平上发现该中心脂质激酶的激活机制通过冷冻电子显微镜进行复合物将极大地有助于合理设计治疗剂的能力在癌症转化或增殖的各个阶段，有选择地激活或抑制PI3KC3-C1。确定在SILAC中自噬重新激活期间蛋白质组的大规模变化（稳定在细胞培养中与氨基酸的同位素标记与质谱法相结合将是执行。这里的目的是确定在增殖肿瘤中是否有独特的目标，取决于特定的自噬激活机制或选择性自噬途径。理想情况下，这项研究将产生新的蛋白质候选者以治疗，这将比羟氯喹更具体，毒性更少，以治疗胰腺癌。
