项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Understanding the actions and interactions of ovarian steroids (estradiol and progesterone) and the tumor repressor protein (TRP53, TP53) becomes of utmost clinical relevance when epithelial cells undergo oncogenic transformation to form cancers. Ovarian (epithelial) cancer is of paramount importance because this disease is the fifth most lethal cause of death in women and, with more than 14,000 deaths annually, remains an ominous threat to women's health. Clinical and epidemiological data show a strong link between ovarian steroids and ovarian cancer; ~90% of ovarian cancers harbor mutations in TP53. Unfortunately, little is known about the molecular mechanisms by which TP53 status and steroids impact ovarian cancer tumor progression and metastasis. We have generated unique mouse models that will allow us to define the actions of estradiol on ovarian epithelial cell cancer in vivo. Based on provocative observations in these mice, we hypothesize that increased expression of ER¿?and estrogen-induced genes mediate ovarian cancer tumor growth and metastasis in ovarian cancers lacking functional TRP53 (tumor repressor protein 53 or p53) or expressing mutant TRP53. These powerful mouse models combined with human ovarian cancer cell lines will allow us to determine for the first time: 1) how steroids control ovarian cancer cell progression and metastasis in vivo; 2) which specific genes are targets of estrogen in the transformed cells in vivo and 3) if intercepting these pathways by progesterone or estrogen receptor antagonists blocks metastasis or tumor growth and 4) how estradiol alters the metastatic sites. To address these goals we propose the following specific aims. Specific Aim 1: Determine the molecular mechanisms by which TRP53 and estradiol impact ovarian tumor progression and metastasis in vivo. Specific Aim 2: Determine the impact of mutant TRP53(R172H) on hormone-regulated ovarian tumor progression and metastasis in vivo. Specific Aim 3: Determine if metastatic tumor growth involves TRP53 status and steroid action in peritoneal cells.

描述（由适用提供）：了解卵巢类固醇（雌二醇和孕酮）和肿瘤反射蛋白（TRP53，TP53）的作用和相互作用成为最大的临床相关性，当上皮细胞经历致癌性转化以形成癌症。卵巢癌（上皮）癌症至关重要，因为这种疾病是女性第五大致命的死亡原因，并且每年有14,000多人死亡，仍然对妇女健康仍然是不祥的威胁。临床和流行病学数据表明，卵巢类固醇与卵巢癌之间存在牢固的联系。〜90％的卵巢癌藏有TP53中的突变。不幸的是，对于TP53状态和类固醇影响卵巢癌肿瘤进展和转移的分子机制知之甚少。我们产生了独特的小鼠模型，使我们能够定义雌二醇对体内卵巢上皮细胞癌的作用。基于这些小鼠的挑衅性观察，我们假设雌激素诱导的基因的表达增加，雌激素诱导的基因介导了缺乏功能性TRP53（肿瘤反射蛋白53或p53或p53）的卵巢癌的卵巢癌肿瘤的生长和转移，或表达突变体TRP53。这些强大的小鼠模型与人卵巢癌细胞系相结合将使我们首次确定：1）类固醇如何控制卵巢癌细胞的进展和体内转移； 2）哪些特定基因是体内转化细胞中雌激素的靶标，以及3）如果通过孕酮或雌激素受体拮抗剂拦截这些途径会阻止转移或肿瘤生长，以及4）雌二醇如何改变转移性位点。为了解决这些目标，我们提出以下特定目标。具体目标1：确定TRP53和雌二醇影响卵巢肿瘤进展和体内转移的分子机制。具体目标2：确定突变体TRP53（R172H）对骑马调节的卵巢肿瘤进展和体内转移的影响。特定目标3：确定转移性肿瘤生长是否涉及腹膜细胞中的TRP53状态和类固醇作用。
