项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Triple Negative Breast Cancers (TNBC), if considered its own disease, would rank as the fifth or sixth leading cause of cancer deaths in women in the USA. The only treatment option for these patients is multi-agent chemotherapy, and TNBC tumors are highly variable in terms of their chemotherapy sensitivity. TNBC is also known to be highly metastatic, with most patients who succumb to this disease dying of complications caused by their metastatic disease burden. Most preclinical studies of metastasis, however, study the dissemination and colonization of metastasis, and have failed to focus on the treatment of established metastases. The overall goal of our proposed studies, therefore, is to utilize preclinical Genetically Engineered (GEM) and Patient Derived Xenografts (PDX) models of TNBC to determine the efficacy of standard-of-care chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of established metastatic disease. Specifically, these studies will uniquely compare the therapeutic response of TNBCs in their orthotopic site versus the response of established lung metastases, both in immunocompromised models and those with an intact immune system. Recent technological advances using lentiviral vectors allow the efficient introduction of fluorescent and bioluminescent markers into primary tumors to facilitate both non-invasive imaging of metastases as well as re-isolation of transduced cells following treatment for detailed genomic analyses. The proposed therapeutic regimens have been chosen based upon their known efficacy for the treatment of primary TNBC disease in humans. In addition we will also examine the frequency and biology of Tumor Initiating Cells within these TNBC models, and determine if and how these TIC properties change according to microenvironment, and according to treatment. Because metastases are culpable for >90% of cancer-associated mortality, truly efficacious anti-metastatic therapies are desperately needed and our preclinical studies, therefore, should provide a new paradigm for testing these therapies.

描述（由适用提供）：如果被认为是自身的疾病，三重阴性乳腺癌（TNBC）将被评为美国女性癌症死亡的第五或第六主要原因。这些患者的唯一治疗选择是多药化疗，而TNBC肿瘤在化学疗法敏感性方面的变化很大。 TNBC也是高度转移性的，大多数患者屈服于这种疾病，死于其转移性疾病伯内的并发症。然而，大多数转移的临床前研究研究转移的传播和定殖，并且未能专注于既定转移酶的治疗。因此，我们提出的研究的总体目标是利用TNBC的临床前遗传学工程（GEM）和患者衍生的异种移植模型（PDX）模型来确定既定转移性疾病的护理标准化疗方案的效率。具体而言，这些研究将唯一地比较TNBC在其原位部位中的治疗反应与已在免疫功能低下模型和具有完整免疫系统的肺转移的反应与已建立的肺转移的反应。使用慢病毒载体的最新技术进步允许有效地将荧光和生物发光标记引入原发性肿瘤中，以促进转移的非侵入性成像，以及在处理详细基因组分析后翻译细胞的重新分离。拟议的治疗方案是基于其已知的治疗人类原发性TNBC疾病的已知有效性选择的。此外，我们还将检查这些TNBC模型中肿瘤启动细胞的频率和生物学，并确定这些TIC特性是否以及如何根据微环境进行变化，并根据处理。由于转移量涉及90％的癌症相关死亡率，因此迫切需要真正有效的抗转移性疗法，因此我们的临床前研究应为测试这些疗法提供新的范式。
