DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Prostate cancer (PCa) is among the leading causes of male cancer-related morbidity and death, second only to lung cancer, representing approximately 10% of all cancer deaths among men in the United States. Prospective cohort studies have shown a statistically significant positive association between obesity and the risk of death from PCa. Consistent with these observations, it has been noted that caloric restriction acts to prevent cancer progression. It was initially thought that the effects of caloric restriction on tumor progression were a secondary response to decreased cell growth; however, it is increasingly being recognized that this process actually impinges on key intracellular signaling pathways, particularly the insulin-IGFI and nutrient- mediated PI3K/ mTORCI signaling pathway, which is opposed by a large number of tumor suppressors including PTEN, TSC1/2, NF1, LKB1, 4E-BP1, PDCD4, and PML. Clearly, further resolution of the molecular mechanisms linking obesity to PCa cannot rely on epidemiological studies alone, but will require the use of mouse models that integrate knowledge obtained from human cancer studies. The project proposed here will examine the role of diet in PCa at a cellular and molecular level by using genetically engineered mice that harbor a specific lesion in the Pten gene. This model will be used in the following experiments: (i) determine the impact of a high-fat diet, ketogenic diet, and dietary constituents or caloric intake in PCa development; (ii) test the hypothesis that hypercholesterolemia promotes PCa progression and that it is related to dysfunctional feedback regulation of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, and assess the influence of endogenous production of cholesterol and isoprenoids on cancer progression; (iii) test the effect of excess dietary branched-chain amino acids on PCa progression and the role of mTORCI signaling in this response, and determine whether the effect of caloric restriction on PCa is recapitulated by rapamycin and metformin; (iv) ascertain the mechanism of AMPK pathway regulation by PML in PCa and the therapeutic implications of the PML-AMPK pathway in PCa by employing established PCa chemotherapy and chemoprevention protocols. This timely study in cancer biology will be directed by present members of the NCI-MMHCC and the NIDDK-MMPC. RELEVANCE: Over the course of a lifetime, one in six men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Multiple factors contribute to the high incidence and prevalence of prostate cancer. Among these, obesity is an increasingly important risk factor. This project will examine the role of diet in the progression of prostate cancer and as an avenue for designing new therapeutic approaches based on existing mouse models.

描述（由申请人提供）：前列腺癌（PCA）是与男性癌症有关的发病率和死亡的主要原因之一，仅次于肺癌，约占美国男性所有癌症死亡的10％。前瞻性队列研究表明，肥胖与PCA死亡风险之间具有统计学意义的正相关。与这些观察结果一致，已经注意到，热量限制是防止癌症进展的。最初认为，热量限制对肿瘤进展的影响是对细胞生长降低的次要反应。但是，越来越多地认识到，这一过程实际上会影响关键的细胞内信号传导途径，尤其是胰岛素-IGFI和营养介导的PI3K/ MTORCI信号途径，这与包括PTEN，TSC1/ 2，NF1，LKB1，LKB1，LKB1，4E-BP1，4E-BP1，PPD4和PPD4和PPD4的大量肿瘤抑制剂相反。显然，将肥胖与PCA联系起来的分子机制的进一步分辨率不能仅依靠流行病学研究，但是需要使用小鼠模型来整合从人类癌症研究中获得的知识。此处提出的项目将通过使用具有PTEN基因特定病变的基因工程小鼠来检查饮食在细胞和分子水平上的饮食在细胞和分子水平上的作用。该模型将用于以下实验：（i）确定高脂饮食，生酮饮食和饮食成分或热量摄入量对PCA发育的影响； （ii）检验了高胆固醇血症促进PCA进展的假设，并且与低密度脂蛋白（LDL）受体的功能失调的反馈调节有关，并评估内源性胆固醇和异跨性别类似物对癌症进展的影响； （iii）测试过量的饮食链链氨基酸对PCA进展的影响以及MTORCI信号在此反应中的作用，并确定卡路里限制对PCA的影响是否由雷帕霉素和元成甲霉素概括。 （iv）通过采用已建立的PCA化学疗法和化学预防方案，确定PCA中PML调节AMPK途径调节的机制以及PCA中PML-AMPK途径的治疗意义。 NCI-MHCC和NIDDK-MMPC的当前成员将指导癌症生物学的及时研究。 相关性：在一生中，美国六分之一的男性将被诊断出患有前列腺癌。多种因素导致前列腺癌的高发病率和患病率。其中，肥胖是越来越重要的危险因素。该项目将研究饮食在前列腺癌进展中的作用，以及根据现有小鼠模型设计新的治疗方法的途径。
