项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Colon cancer remains a significant health concern as the third most prevalent cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Research suggests that ω-6 fatty acids are implicated in cancer due to the formation of deleterious metabolites from cyclooxygenase (COX)- catalyzed peroxidation. In contrast, ω-3 fatty acid-based dietary care has been applied in colon cancer treatment along with a variety of therapeutic approaches. Increasing evidence indicates that dihomo-- linolenic acid (DGLA) may represent an exceptional ω-6 that possesses beneficial bioactivities similar to ω-3s. However, the molecular mechanisms by which ω-6s can influence human health are still unclear. Our preliminary data has shown for the first time that, via COX-catalyzed peroxidation, DGLA produces exclusive free radicals that inhibit colon cancer cell growth, while its downstream product arachidonic acid (the conversion mediated by 5-desaturase) produces endoperoxide-derived free radicals that may stimulate cancer cell growth. We hypothesize that (1) the distinct free radical byproducts formed from COX-catalyzed peroxidation of arachidonic acid vs. DGLA account for their opposing bioactivities, and (2) down-regulation of 5-desaturase can inhibit colon cancer cell growth and enhance cancer therapy by limiting the conversion of DGLA to arachidonic acid, activating DGLA mediated pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative pathways. Two specific aims will be pursued: (AIM-1) determine the role in colon cancer cell growth of the distinct arachidonic acid and DGLA free radical byproducts formed from COX-catalyzed peroxidation. We will test the hypothesis that the distinct free radical byproducts of arachidonic acid and DGLA are growth stimulatory and inhibitory, respectively, to colon cancer cells (HCA-7, HT-29, and HCT-116, with 3 different COX-2 and p53 statuses). These byproducts will be studied for their individual and combined effects on the expression of key proteins involved in the cell cycle and the apoptotic response; and (AIM-2) determine whether down-regulation of 5-desaturase enhances the formation of DGLA free radical byproducts during COX-catalyzed peroxidation, leading to inhibition of colon cancer growth and enhanced responses to chemo- and/or targeted therapeutic drugs in vitro and in vivo. We will use in vitro (three colon cancer cell lines and their 5-desaturase knockdown counterparts) and in vivo (xenograft tumors manipulated with 5- desaturase shRNA) strategies to test the hypothesis that down-regulation of 5-desaturase will intensify DGLA peroxidation catalyzed by COX-2 (high and readily inducible in cancer), enhance the inhibition of growth, and improve the efficacy of chemo- and/or targeted therapy. Our long term objective is to develop a strategy to modify cellular ω-6 conversion and COX-catalyzed free radical peroxidation for use in dietary regimens to optimize cancer therapies in colon cancer treatment.

描述（由申请人提供）：结肠癌作为美国第三大常见癌症和第二大癌症死亡原因，仍然是一个重大的健康问题研究表明，由于形成 ω-6 脂肪酸，因此与癌症有关。相比之下，基于 ω-3 脂肪酸的饮食护理已与各种治疗方法一起应用于结肠癌治疗。表明二高--亚麻酸（DGLA）可能是一种特殊的 ω-6，具有与 ω-3 相似的有益生物活性，然而，我们的初步数据仍不清楚 ω-6 影响人类健康的分子机制。首次表明，通过 COX 催化的过氧化，DGLA 产生独特的自由基，抑制结肠癌细胞的生长，而其下游产物花生四烯酸（由5-去饱和酶）产生可能刺激癌细胞生长的内过氧化物自由基，我们认为（1）COX 催化的花生四烯酸与 DGLA 的过氧化反应形成的独特自由基副产物解释了它们相互竞争的生物活性。 ) 下调5-去饱和酶可抑制结肠癌细胞生长，并通过限制 DGLA 转化为花生四烯酸、激活 DGLA 来增强癌症治疗我们将追求两个具体目标：（AIM-1）确定由 COX 催化的过氧化形成的不同花生四烯酸和 DGLA 自由基副产物在结肠癌细胞生长中的作用。假设花生四烯酸和 DGLA 的不同自由基副产物分别对结肠癌细胞（HCA-7、HT-29 和HCT-116，具有 3 种不同的 COX-2 和 p53 状态）将研究它们对参与细胞周期和细胞凋亡反应的关键蛋白表达的单独和组合影响；并确定（AIM-2）是否下调 5-去饱和酶可增强 COX 催化的过氧化过程中 DGLA 自由基副产物的形成，从而抑制结肠癌生长并增强对化疗和/或化疗的反应我们将使用体外（三种结肠癌细胞系及其 5-去饱和酶敲低单位）和体内（用 5-去饱和酶 shRNA 操纵的异种移植肿瘤）策略来测试下调的假设。 -调节5-去饱和酶将强化COX-2（高且易诱导癌症）催化的DGLA过氧化，增强生长抑制，并改善我们的长期目标是开发一种策略来改变细胞 ω-6 转化和 COX 催化的自由基过氧化作用，用于饮食方案，以优化结肠癌治疗中的癌症治疗。
