项目摘要

PROJECT 3 – PROJECT SUMMARY Understanding metabolic adaptations in hepatocellular cancer (HCC) that impart survival benefits may provide new treatment approaches for these highly chemoresistant cancers. Recent studies have implicated lipid biosynthesis and desaturation as a requirement for HCC survival. Stearoyl CoA desaturase (SCD1) is a key mediator of FA biosynthesis, and rate-limiting in conversion of saturated fatty acids (SFA) such as palmitic acid to monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) such as palmitoleic acid. Although SFA have been implicated in lipotoxicity, MUFA can induce non-canonical autophagy, activate Wnt signaling, enhance membrane turnover, and increase energy production. Thus, SCD-1 can contribute to tumor cell survival through metabolic adaptations resulting from enhanced conversion of SFA to MUFA. We hypothesize that targeting SCD1 may prove therapeutically beneficial to HCC patients by modulating tumor adaptations in fatty acid biosynthesis that promote survival of transformed cells. Using a combined computational and synthetic chemistry approach, we have developed novel highly efficacious SCD1 inhibitors. Amongst these, our lead SCD1 inhibitor (SSI-4) dose dependently inhibits cell proliferation in HCC cell lines (1 - 3 nM IC50), demonstrates synergy with sorafenib, has excellent oral bioavailability, is well tolerated with long-term daily dosing and possesses single agent antitumor activity in a HCC patient derived xenograft (PDX) mouse model. In Aim 1, we will identify the role of SCD-1 dependent non-canonical autophagic pathways in mediating therapeutic resistance. The contribution of MUFA induced non-canonical autophagy and the effect of SCD1 inhibition on HCC cell sensitivity to anticancer treatments or nutrient deprivation will be determined. In Aim 2 we will perform preclinical studies using HCC PDX models and in vivo mouse models to determine maximal antitumor benefit with SCD1 inhibition singly or in combination with other strategies. In Aim 3, we will optimize patient selection and perform a Phase 1 clinical trial for SCD1 directed therapy in HCC.

项目 3 – 项目摘要了解肝细胞癌 (HCC) 中可带来生存益处的代谢适应可能会提供以下帮助：最近的研究表明这些高度耐药的癌症的新治疗方法与脂质有关。硬脂酰辅酶 A 去饱和酶 (SCD1) 的生物合成和去饱和是 HCC 存活的关键。 FA 生物合成的介体，以及棕榈酸等饱和脂肪酸 (SFA) 转化的限速剂尽管 SFA 也与单不饱和脂肪酸 (MUFA) 有关。脂毒性，MUFA 可以诱导非典型自噬，激活 Wnt 信号传导，增强膜周转，因此，SCD-1 可以通过代谢促进肿瘤细胞的存活。我们追求以 SCD1 为目标的可能。通过调节脂肪酸生物合成中的肿瘤适应，证明对 HCC 患者有治疗益处使用计算和合成化学相结合的方法，我们可以促进转化细胞的存活。已开发出新型高效 SCD1 抑制剂，其中我们的主要 SCD1 抑制剂 (SSI-4) 剂量。依赖性抑制 HCC 细胞系的细胞增殖 (1 - 3 nM IC50)，证明与索拉非尼具有协同作用，具有优异的口服生物利用度，长期每日给药耐受性良好，并且具有单药特性在 HCC 患者异种移植 (PDX) 小鼠模型中的抗肿瘤活性在目标 1 中，我们将确定其作用。 SCD-1 依赖性非典型自噬途径在介导治疗抵抗中的贡献。 MUFA诱导非典型自噬及抑制SCD1对HCC细胞抗癌敏感性的影响在目标 2 中，我们将使用 HCC 进行临床前研究。 PDX 模型和体内小鼠模型，以确定单独或抑制 SCD1 的最大抗肿瘤益处与其他策略相结合，我们将优化患者选择并进行一期临床。 SCD1 定向治疗 HCC 的试验。
