项目摘要

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell disorder that accounts for ~10% of all hematologic malignancies. Due to high production of IgG in endoplasmic reticulum (ER), MM cells continuously undergo ER stress which is considered an “Achille’s heel” of the disease. This feature makes MM susceptible to the agents that exacerbate ER stress, such as proteasome inhibitor bortezomib. Yet, currently MM is incurable for most patients due to rapidly emerging resistance to proteasome inhibitors. Therefore, identification of novel anti-MM drugs and targets is of high importance. Conversely, an increase in protein export from ER is a part of the adaptive response to ER stress. In the current application, we propose a novel clinically relevant pathway controlling ER homeostasis and resistance to bortezomib in MM via modulation of sphingolipid composition of the ER membrane. Our preliminary data suggest that such modulation affects ER-to-Golgi transport, ER homeostasis and ultimately MM cell viability. Furthermore, we identified 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratases (HACD3), an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of very long fatty acids (VLCFA), as an important regulator of ER-to-Golgi export and ER homeostasis. Importantly, HACD3 mRNA levels were increased during MM progression and in MM cells from MM patients refractory to bortezomib-containing therapy. Therefore, in Specific Aim 1, we will functionally characterize mechanisms underlying VLCFA-dependent regulation of ER homeostasis and characterize enzymes upstream and downstream of HACD3 responsible for such regulation. In Specific Aim 2, we will identify mechanisms regulating HACD3 mRNA expression in MM cells. In Specific Aim 3, we will evaluate the efficacy of pharmacological suppression of VLCFAs in MM mouse models.

多发性骨髓瘤 (MM) 是一种浆细胞疾病，约占所有血液系统恶性肿瘤的 10%。由于内质网 (ER) 中 IgG 的大量产生，MM 细胞持续承受 ER 应激，被认为是该疾病的“致命弱点”，这一特征使 MM 容易受到加剧病情的药物的影响。 ER应激，如蛋白酶体抑制剂硼替佐米然而，目前MM对于大多数患者来说是无法治愈的。快速出现的对蛋白酶体抑制剂的耐药性因此，新型抗 MM 药物的鉴定和应用。目标非常重要。离线时，内质网蛋白质输出的增加是对内质网应激的适应性反应的一部分。在当前的应用中，我们提出了一种控制 ER 稳态和耐药性的新的临床相关途径我们的初步数据是通过调节 ER 膜的鞘脂成分来治疗 MM 的。表明这种调节影响 ER 到高尔基体的转运、ER 稳态并最终影响 MM 细胞的活力。此外，我们还鉴定了 3-羟酰基-CoA 脱水酶 (HACD3)，这是一种参与生物合成的酶。极长脂肪酸（VLCFA），作为内质网到高尔基体输出和内质网稳态的重要调节剂。重要的是，HACD3 mRNA 水平在 MM 进展过程中以及来自 MM 患者的 MM 细胞中增加对含硼替佐米的治疗无效。因此，在具体目标 1 中，我们将从功能上描述 VLCFA 依赖的机制 ER 稳态的调节以及 HACD3 上游和下游酶的特征在具体目标 2 中，我们将确定调节 MM 细胞中 HACD3 mRNA 表达的机制。在具体目标 3 中，我们将评估 MM 小鼠模型中 VLCFA 药物抑制的功效。
