项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY: For women in the United States, breast cancer is the most common malignancy and the second leading cause of death. In this application, we focus upon a specific subtype of breast cancer known as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Compared to other breast cancer subtypes, TNBC is considered more aggressive and extremely difficult to treat with standard therapies. As a result, it has a high recurrence rate and a high overall mortality rate. TNBC accounts for up to 20% of all breast cancers, with a higher incidence in ethnic minority populations and young women (usually <40 years of age). Approximately 70% of patients with advanced TNBC die of disease recurrence and/or metastasis within 5 years of initial diagnosis. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the medical community to develop more effective therapeutic options for this deadly disease. In this project, we will investigate a novel experimental compound, named LG007, for its anti-cancer activity in TNBC. Of significance, we will utilize robust TNBC Patient-Derived Xenograft (PDX) mouse models to study the in vivo efficacy of LG007. Our preliminary results demonstrated that LG007 effectively inhibits TNBC tumor growth and metastasis. Notably, we found that LG007 treatment could robustly shrink large human-derived TNBC PDX tumors, with a near-complete response. These preliminary results strongly support the premise that LG007 is a novel and potent drug candidate capable of treating progressive TNBC and associated metastasis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that LG007 is able to target and regulate miR-10b, a well-known oncogenic miRNA that promotes tumor development and metastasis. Therefore, we hypothesize that miR-10b is a primary target of LG007 that is critically involved in the molecular mechanisms of action by which LG007 inhibits tumor growth and metastasis. Three specific aims are proposed in pursuit of the project’s objective to develop a new therapy for the treatment of TNBC. In Aim 1, we will determine the mechanistic roles of miR-10b and one of its targets, NR4A3, in the anti-TNBC activity of LG007. In Aim 2, we will investigate the in vivo efficacy of LG007 utilizing a variety of advanced mouse models that mimic the clinical setting of TNBC and its associated recurrence and metastasis. In Aim 3, we will characterize the pharmacological and toxicological properties of LG007 in preparation for future translation to clinical testing. We expect that the results obtained from this study will lead to the development of a novel, safe, and effective treatment for patients with advanced TNBC.

项目概要：对于美国女性来说，乳腺癌是最常见的恶性肿瘤，也是第二大原因在本申请中，我们重点关注一种称为三阴性乳腺癌的特定乳腺癌亚型。癌症 (TNBC) 与其他乳腺癌亚型相比，TNBC 被认为更具侵袭性且极其严重。因此，很难用标准疗法治疗，因此复发率高，总体死亡率高。 TNBC 占所有乳腺癌的 20%，在少数族裔人群中发病率较高，年轻女性（通常<40岁）大约70%的晚期TNBC患者死于疾病。初次诊断后 5 年内复发和/或转移，因此迫切需要医疗。社区为这种致命疾病开发更有效的治疗方案。在这个项目中，我们将研究一种名为 LG007 的新型实验化合物，因为它具有抗癌活性。重要的是，我们将利用强大的 TNBC 患者衍生异种移植 (PDX) 小鼠模型来研究 TNBC。 LG007的体内功效我们初步证明LG007有效抑制TNBC肿瘤。值得注意的是，我们发现 LG007 治疗可以显着缩小大型人源性细胞的生长和转移。 TNBC PDX 肿瘤具有接近完全的反应，这些初步结果有力地支持了以下前提： LG007 是一种新型有效的候选药物，能够治疗进行性 TNBC 和相关转移。此外，我们证明 LG007 能够靶向和调节 miR-10b（一种众所周知的致癌基因）因此，我们追寻miR-10b是促进肿瘤发生和转移的主要miRNA。 LG007 的靶点，关键参与 LG007 抑制肿瘤的分子作用机制为了实现该项目开发新的目标，提出了三个具体目标。在目标 1 中，我们将确定 miR-10b 及其其中之一的机制作用。 LG007 的抗 TNBC 活性中的靶标 NR4A3 在目标 2 中，我们将研究 LG007 的体内功效。利用各种先进的小鼠模型来模拟 TNBC 及其相关的临床环境在目标 3 中，我们将描述其药理学和毒理学特性。 LG007正在准备将来转化为临床测试，我们预计从这项研究中获得的结果。将为晚期 TNBC 患者开发一种新颖、安全、有效的治疗方法。
