项目摘要

ABSTRACT Tumor hypoxia reduces the effectiveness of anti-cancer treatment with radiotherapy, some chemotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade therapy. For radiotherapy, biophysical measures show that hypoxic cells require 2.8-fold greater dose to achieve the same cell kill as those that are fully oxygenated. For immunotherapy, hypoxia has been shown to contribute to immune evasion and even accelerate T cell exhaustion. For these reasons, many groups have tried to deliver more oxygen to tumors as an adjuvant to increase tumor sensitivity. Unfortunately, this approach has met with disappointing clinical results. We have looked at tumor oxygenation differently, as a supply and demand mismatch, with the supply being inadequate to meet the demand of the growing tumor mass. Therefore, if we could reduce oxygen demand rather than increase supply, we could effectively reduce hypoxia and sensitize tumors. Because mitochondria are the major sink for oxygen within a cell, we propose that novel mitochondria inhibitors would reduce oxygen demand to match the limited supply. We have identified papaverine (PPV) as an FDA-approved molecule with the ability to inhibit mitochondrial function at clinical doses. Published studies from our group showed that in mouse tumors that papaverine can radiosensitize through inhibition of mitochondrial function, producing “Metabolic Radiosensitization”. Papaverine was originally isolated from the poppy and used as a smooth muscle vasorelaxant presumably due to inhibition of phosphodiesterase 10A. This activity makes it an effective drug for cerebral vasospasm, but causes a systemic drop in blood pressure and potential adverse cardiovascular effects. We therefore propose in this application to synthesize and evaluate new small molecule derivatives of papverine that we have designed to remove its activity as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, but retain its activity as a mitochondrial complex 1 inhibitor. Using these PPV derivatives, and sophisticated mouse models of cancer, we intend to prove that inhibition of mitochondrial function is an effective strategy for removing hypoxia in solid tumors without affecting well oxygenated normal tissue. Preliminary data supports the overall theory that mitochondrial inhibitors increase tumor oxygenation and sensitivity to radiotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade therapy.

抽象的肿瘤缺氧会降低放疗、某些化疗和抗癌治疗的有效性对于放射治疗，生物物理测量表明缺氧细胞需要。与完全充氧的细胞相比，剂量高 2.8 倍，可实现相同的细胞杀伤效果。缺氧已被证明会导致免疫逃避，甚至加速 T 细胞的耗竭。出于这些原因，许多研究小组尝试向肿瘤输送更多的氧气作为佐剂，以增加肿瘤的敏感性。不幸的是，这种方法的临床结果令人失望。我们以不同的方式看待肿瘤氧合，将其视为供需不匹配，供应是不足以满足不断增长的肿瘤块的需求，因此，如果我们能够减少需氧量。我们可以有效地减少缺氧并使肿瘤敏感，而不是增加供应，因为线粒体。是细胞内氧气的主要接收器，我们建议新型线粒体抑制剂可以减少氧气我们已将罂粟碱 (PPV) 确定为 FDA 批准的分子。我们小组发表的研究表明，在临床剂量下抑制线粒体功能的能力。罂粟碱可以通过抑制线粒体功能来对小鼠肿瘤进行放射增敏，产生 “代谢放射增敏”。罂粟碱最初是从罂粟中分离出来的，用作平滑肌。血管舒张作用可能是由于抑制磷酸二酯酶 10A，这种活性使其成为一种有效的药物。脑血管痉挛，但会导致全身血压下降和潜在的心血管不良影响。因此，我们建议在本申请中合成和评估罂粟碱的新小分子衍生物我们设计去除其作为磷酸二酯酶抑制剂的活性，但保留其作为磷酸二酯酶抑制剂的活性我们使用这些 PPV 衍生物和复杂的小鼠癌症模型。旨在证明抑制线粒体功能是固体中缺氧的有效策略初步数据支持以下总体理论：线粒体抑制剂增加肿瘤氧合作用以及对放疗和免疫检查点的敏感性封锁疗法。
