项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Development of breast cancer risk model based on estrogen metabolomics. Anti-estrogens provide an effective strategy to prevent breast cancer but eligible women generally decline therapy because of unfavorable benefit/risk ratios. Data from prevention studies indicate that fifty women need to be treated with these agents for five years to prevent one breast cancer. To improve the ratio of benefit to risk, a more powerful method of identifying women at very high risk of developing breast cancer is urgently needed. Prediction of disease risk is best grounded on factors involved in its pathogenesis. We propose an integrative hypothesis regarding the carcinogenic process which involves both estrogen receptor alpha (ER¿) dependent as well as ER¿ independent actions. Through ER¿, estradiol (E2) stimulates proliferation with resultant replicative mutations and promotes the growth of cells harboring those mutations. Independent of ER¿, estrogen metabolites both form unstable DNA adducts and generate oxygen free radicals thorough redox cycling to initiate mutations. Several genetically regulated enzymes modulate estrogen metabolism and the process of repair of estrogen induced mutations. Our innovative hypothesis regarding estrogen induced breast cancer integrates all of these processes into a model of carcinogenesis and implicates the entire estrogen metabolome in the genesis of breast cancer. These concepts suggest that measurement of estrogen metabolomics should provide a powerful, mechanism-based method of predicting who will develop breast cancer. Metabolomic assessment entails quantitative measurement of aromatizable androgens, estrogens, and their metabolites and SNPs from enzymes regulating the metabolic process. Several important factors have recently come together to enable us to test this concept. A new, state of the art, mass spectrometer coupled with an ultra-performance liquid chromatography system makes it possible for the first time to measure all estrogen metabolites in small amounts of serum. We can measure SNPs which involve enzymes regulating estrogen metabolism and have been shown to correlate with breast cancer risk. To develop a model, we will utilize serum samples and risk factor data from 3 cohort studies (NYU, Clue I and II, and Rancho Bernardo) which had collected blood from women 5-20 years ago and then followed them prospectively for development of breast cancer. Availability of these techniques, samples and risk factor data allows performance of a nested case-control study to develop a new, more powerful risk prediction model. We will then validate this model in a completely independent data set involving the French Teacher's Study. We anticipate reducing the number of women needed to be treated to prevent one breast cancer from 50 to 13 with tamoxifen and to 5.with aromatase inhibitors.

描述（由申请人提供）：基于雌激素代谢组学的乳腺癌风险模型的开发提供了预防乳腺癌的有效策略，但符合条件的女性通常由于不利的收益/风险比而拒绝治疗。来自预防研究的数据表明。女性需要接受这些药物治疗五年才能预防乳腺癌。为了提高获益与风险之比，迫切需要一种更有效的方法来识别患乳腺癌风险极高的女性。最好的基于参与其发病机制的因素，我们提出了一个关于致癌过程的综合假设，该过程涉及雌激素受体α（ER¿）依赖性以及ER¿通过 ER¿ , 雌二醇 (E2) 通过由此产生的复制突变刺激增殖并促进细胞生长携带这些突变独立于 ER¿雌激素代谢物既形成不稳定的 DNA 加合物，又通过氧化还原循环产生氧自由基以引发突变。几种基因调节酶调节雌激素代谢和雌激素诱导突变的修复过程，我们关于雌激素诱导的乳腺癌的创新假设整合了所有这些过程。这些概念表明雌激素代谢组学的测量应该提供一种强大的、基于机制的方法来预测谁将患乳腺癌。代谢组学评估需要对芳香化雄激素、雌激素及其代谢物和调节代谢过程的酶的 SNP 进行定量测量，最近，我们结合了几个重要的因素来测试这一概念。超高效液相色谱系统首次能够测量少量血清中的所有雌激素代谢物，我们可以测量涉及调节雌激素代谢的酶并已被证明与乳腺癌相关的 SNP。为了开发一个模型，我们将利用 3 项队列研究（纽约大学、Clue I 和 II 以及 Rancho Bernardo）的血清样本和危险因素数据，这些研究从 5-20 年前收集了女性的血液，然后前瞻性地跟踪研究。这些技术、样本和风险因素数据的可用性允许进行嵌套病例对照研究，以开发一个新的、更强大的风险预测模型，然后在涉及法国的完全独立的数据集中验证该模型。我们期待老师的学习。将预防一种乳腺癌所需接受他莫昔芬治疗的女性人数从 50 人减少到 13 人，使用芳香酶抑制剂治疗的女性人数减少到 5 人。
