项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Constitutive STAT3 signaling participates in tumorigenesis by stimulating cell proliferation, mediating immune evasion, promoting angiogenesis, conferring drug and radiation resistance, and tumorigenesis. The persistent STAT3 activation is frequently detected in human medulloblastoma cell lines and primary tumors of the most frequently occurring malignant brain tumor, medulloblastoma, in children. The central hypotheses of this project are: STAT3 phosphorylation is expressed in cancer tissues in four medulloblastoma groups and targeting persistent STAT3 signaling using LY5 in combination with cisplatin and radiation therapy is an effective approach for medulloblastoma therapy. The hypotheses are supported by our recent data demonstrating that STAT3 phosphorylation is expressed in medulloblastoma cell lines and primary tumor samples. LY5 inhibited cell viability and induced apoptosis of human medulloblastoma cell lines but has little toxicity in normal human cells and tumor-free normal immunocompetent mice. In addition, we observed that combination of LY5 with cisplatin or irradiation exhibited stronger inhibitory effect in medulloblastoma cells. Furthermore, our preliminary the pharmacokinetic data showed that LY5 has high oral bioavailability and good blood brain barrier penetration. The objectives of this proposal are to build on these initial findings to further understand the upstream signaling responsible for STAT3 activation in medulloblastoma, STAT3 activation in different subgroups, and to evaluate the biologic activity of combinational treatments in medulloblastoma mouse models. Our long-term objective is to move a STAT3- selective inhibitor such as LY5 into clinical evaluation in patients as a STAT3-targeting drug for medulloblastoma therapy. We will test the central hypotheses through the following specific aims: (1) Characterize STAT3 phosphorylation in four subgroups of medulloblastoma and investigate the mechanisms responsible for STAT3 activation. (2) Characterize the biologic effects of the novel STAT3 inhibitor LY5 on medulloblastoma cells. (3) Evaluate the inhibitory efficacy of LY5 in mouse medulloblastoma models in vivo.

描述（由申请人提供）：组成型 STAT3 信号传导通过刺激细胞增殖、介导免疫逃避、促进血管生成、赋予药物和放射抗性以及肿瘤发生来参与肿瘤发生。在人髓母细胞瘤细胞系和原发性肿瘤中经常检测到持续的 STAT3 激活。儿童中最常见的恶性脑肿瘤，髓母细胞瘤该项目的中心假设是： STAT3 磷酸化在癌症中表达。对四个髓母细胞瘤组的组织进行研究，并使用 LY5 联合顺铂和放射治疗靶向持续的 STAT3 信号传导是髓母细胞瘤治疗的有效方法，我们最近的数据证明 STAT3 磷酸化在髓母细胞瘤细胞系和原发性肿瘤样本中表达。 LY5 抑制人髓母细胞瘤细胞系的细胞活力并诱导细胞凋亡，但对正常人细胞和无肿瘤的正常免疫活性小鼠几乎没有毒性。此外，我们观察到LY5与顺铂或放射组合对髓母细胞瘤细胞显示出更强的抑制作用。此外，我们的初步药代动力学数据表明LY5具有较高的口服生物利用度和良好的血脑屏障渗透性。这些初步研究结果可进一步了解髓母细胞瘤中负责 STAT3 激活的上游信号传导、不同亚组中 STAT3 激活的情况，并评估联合治疗的生物活性。我们的长期目标是将 STAT3 选择性抑制剂（例如 LY5）作为髓母细胞瘤治疗的 STAT3 靶向药物进行临床评估。表征髓母细胞瘤四个亚组中的 STAT3 磷酸化并研究 STAT3 激活的机制 (2) 表征新型 STAT3 抑制剂 LY5 的生物学效应。 (3)评价LY5在小鼠髓母细胞瘤模型中的体内抑制效果。
