项目摘要

Targeting of eIF4A along with immunotherapy to overcome chemoresistance The long-term objective is to identify combination of effective and novel targeted therapies in in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) to overcome clinical chemoresistance. In this project, we propose to target the activity of eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4A1 pathway along with PD-L1-based immunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Currently, despite significant improvements in the survival rates of patients that are ER+, PR+ and HER2+, mortality in TNBC patients is high. Therapeutic treatment for TNBC metastases is initially successful but relapse occurs often. This is due to development of chemoresistance, minimal residual disease (MRD) and the relapsed tumor is highly aggressive with metastasis or metastasis of the metastases. Breast cancer stemness has been implicated in such development of drug resistance MRD in breast cancer. Cancer stemness in breast tumor cells contributes to cellular plasticity with interconversion between breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) and bulk tumor cells (non-BCSCs). This buffering phenomenon renders TNBC a difficult one to obtain a durable response to therapy. We published recently that targeting the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4A1 pathway is effective in inducing cell death in BCSCs. eIF4A1 is an mRNA helicase that unwinds the stem-loop structures (SLS) present at the 5’-leader regions of many oncogenic mRNAs. This includes survivn, c- MYC, cyclin D1, cyclin D3, HDM2, MCL1, ARF6, Mucin-1C, ROCK1 and recently STAT1 has been implicated under the control of eIF4A1. STAT1 increases the transcript levels of programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) gene and hence more PD-L1 in tumor cells. PD-L1 induces T-cell anergy in the tumor microenvironment. This brings us to target eIF4A to control the translation of many oncogenic mRNAs into oncoproteins including PD-L1. This provides an opportunity to synergistically combine targeted therapy involving eIF4A1 and c-MYC with that of PD-L1 based immunotherapy in preclinical murine models. We propose in aim1 to combinatorially target eIF4A, c-MYC and survivin in PDX-derived xenografts in an immunocompromised murine model. In aim2, we will combine targeting of eIF4A, c-MYC with anti-PD-L1 neutralizing immunotherapy in a syngeneic, BALB/c immunocompetent murine model along with toxicity testing. This may facilitate in formulating effective combination of targeted chemotherapies and immunotherapy to combat chemoresistance in TNBC.

靶向 eIF4A 并结合免疫疗法克服化疗耐药性长期目标是在三阴性患者中确定有效和新颖的靶向疗法的组合乳腺癌（TNBC）克服临床化疗耐药性在这个项目中，我们建议针对乳腺癌（TNBC）的活性。真核翻译起始因子 eIF4A1 通路与基于 PD-L1 的三阴性免疫治疗目前，尽管 ER+ 患者的生存率显着提高， PR+和HER2+，TNBC患者的死亡率很高 TNBC转移的治疗最初是这样的。成功但经常发生复发，这是由于化疗耐药、微小残留病的发展。 (MRD)并且复发的肿瘤具有高度侵袭性且具有转移或转移的乳腺癌。干性与乳腺癌耐药性 MRD 的发展有关。乳腺肿瘤细胞中的癌症干性有助于细胞可塑性与乳腺之间的相互转化这种缓冲现象使得 TNBC 变得困难。我们最近发表了一项针对真核翻译起始的研究。 eIF4A1 因子途径可有效诱导 BCSC 细胞死亡。 eIF4A1 是一种 mRNA 解旋酶，可解旋 BCSC 细胞。茎环结构 (SLS) 存在于许多致癌 mRNA 的 5’-前导区域，其中包括 survivn、c-。 MYC、细胞周期蛋白 D1、细胞周期蛋白 D3、HDM2、MCL1、ARF6、Mucin-1C、ROCK1 和最近的 STAT1 已被涉及 eIF4A1 的控制会增加程序性死亡配体-1 (PD-L1) 基因的转录水平，从而增加程序性死亡配体-1 (PD-L1) 基因的转录水平。肿瘤细胞中的 PD-L1 会诱导肿瘤微环境中的 T 细胞无反应性。 eIF4A 控制许多致癌 mRNA 翻译成包括 PD-L1 在内的癌蛋白。将涉及 eIF4A1 和 c-MYC 的靶向治疗与基于 PD-L1 的靶向治疗协同结合的机会我们在临床前小鼠模型中建议联合靶向 eIF4A、c-MYC 和在免疫功能低下的小鼠模型中，PDX 衍生的异种移植物中的生存素在 aim2 中，我们将结合靶向。在同基因 BALB/c 免疫活性小鼠中使用 eIF4A、c-MYC 和抗 PD-L1 中和免疫疗法模型和毒性测试这可能有助于制定有效的靶向化疗组合。和免疫疗法来对抗 TNBC 的化疗耐药性。
