项目摘要

Project Summary Pancreatic cancer remains the most lethal disease with no effective therapeutics. We have recently made conceptual advances in targeting signature genomic deletions, a hallmark of human cancers. We demonstrated earlier that passenger deletions could confer cancer cell specific vulnerabilities, which we termed “Collateral Lethality”. We deployed this concept in targeting the SMAD4 deletion, which occurs frequently in pancreatic cancer, and have identified malic enzyme (ME) 3 as a target for collateral lethality in SMAD4-deleted pancreatic tumor cells harboring adjacent deletion of malic enzyme 2. We unexpectedly discovered that mitochondrial malic enzymes are required for the uptake of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) in pancreatic cancer, which has been implicated as a diagnostic plasma marker for early detection of pancreatic cancer. Our overall goals are: to validate ME3 as a therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer in vitro and in PDX models (Aim 1) and in vivo using chimeric PDAC model (Aim 2); and to identify useful therapeutic agents that specifically target ME2 deleted cells (Aim 3). Our goals align well with the NCI directive on “Scientific Framework for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.”

项目摘要胰腺癌仍然是最致命的疾病，没有有效的治疗。我们最近做了靶向签名基因组缺失的概念进步，这是人类癌的标志。我们早些时候证明，乘客缺失可以赋予癌细胞特定的漏洞，我们被称为“附带致死性”。我们在针对SMAD4删除的目标中部署了这个概念经常在胰腺癌中，并确定MALIC酶（ME）3是副杀伤力的靶标 Smad4污染胰肿瘤细胞，含有伴有苹果酶的邻近缺失。我们出乎意料地发现线粒体苹果酶是摄取分支链氨基酸需要的（BCAA）在胰腺癌中，已暗示是诊断等离子体标记，用于早期检测胰腺癌。我们的总体目标是：验证ME3作为体外胰腺癌的治疗靶点在PDX模型（AIM 1）和使用Chimeric PDAC模型（AIM 2）中的体内；并确定有用的疗法专门针对ME2删除细胞的代理（AIM 3）。我们的目标与NCI指令非常吻合 “胰腺导管腺癌的科学框架。”
