项目摘要

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Approximately 145,000 new cases and 51,000 deaths are predicted for the year 2019; and this mortality is predominantly due to poor responses to available treatment options. A better understanding of the molecular events leading to cancer progression and chemoresistance is needed in order to improve the overall survival of cancer patients. My lab has been intensively focused on elucidating the role of a novel family of protein phosphatases, PHLPP (PH domain Leucine-rich-repeats Protein Phosphatase), in inhibiting colon cancer initiation and progression. We have made substantial progress in understanding the functional importance of PHLPP as a tumor suppressor as well as the molecular mechanism underlying PHLPP regulation. The overall objective of this study is to further develop a mechanistic understanding of PHLPP-mediated regulation of cellular stress response in supporting cell survival and tumorigenesis. In exciting recent findings, we demonstrated that chemotherapy-induced ER stress promotes PHLPP degradation and PHLPP-loss provides a survival advantage by upregulating eIF2α/ATF4-mediated signaling. In addition, we found that downregulation of PHLPP promotes mitochondrial fission by regulating Drp1 phosphorylation. Collectively, the central hypothesis driving this proposed study is that PHLPP serves an essential stress sensor in CRC, in which cellular stress signals trigger PHLPP degradation to promote cell survival and tumorigenesis. The following specific aims are proposed: 1) to delineate the molecular mechanism underlying PHLPP-mediated regulation of eIF2α/ATF4 signaling. We will determine if downregulation of PHLPP renders colon cancer cells resistant to chemotherapy drugs as a result of autophagy activation; 2) to determine the functional importance of PHLPP-mediated regulation of mitochondrial dynamics; and 3) to define the role of mitochondrial dynamics in cooperating with PHLPP-loss to promote tumorigenesis in vivo. Our study will fill an important knowledge gap on how altered mitochondrial dynamics contributes to tumor initiation and progression in colon cancer. This supplement will allow Ms. Carolina Galeano-Naranjo to receive further training in conducting basic and translational cancer research. Her results will assist in determining the role of PHLPP in CRC by regulating mitochondrial activity. She will determine if PHLPP mutations found in CRC patients interfer with their ability to control Drp1 phosphorylation and mitochondrial fission. Ultimately, by providing mechanistic insights into PHLPP-dependent regulation of stress response, our findings will help identify new treatment options and better predict the effectiveness of chemotherapy agents based on PHLPP status in cancer patients.

结直肠癌是美国与癌症相关死亡的第二大原因。大约预计2019年将有145,000例新病例和51,000例死亡；这种死亡率主要是应得的对可用治疗方案的反应不佳。更好地了解导致的分子事件为了改善癌症患者的总体存活，需要癌症的进展和化学抗性。我的实验室一直集中在阐明新型蛋白质磷酸酶家族PHLPP家族的作用上（pH结构域富含亮氨酸的重复蛋白磷酸酶），抑制结肠癌的启动和进展。我们在理解PHLPP作为肿瘤抑制器的功能重要性方面取得了重大进展以及PHLPP调控的基础机制。这项研究的总体目的是进一步在支持中对PHLPP介导的细胞应力反应调节的机械理解细胞存活和肿瘤发生。在令人兴奋的最近发现中，我们证明了化学疗法诱导的ER 压力会促进PHLPP降解和PHLPP损失，从而通过上调可提供生存优势 EIF2α/ATF4介导的信号传导。此外，我们发现PHLPP的下调促进了线粒体通过控制DRP1磷酸化裂变。总体而言，推动这项拟议研究的中心假设是 PHLPP在CRC中提供了必不可少的应力传感器，其中细胞应力信号触发PHLPP降解至促进细胞存活和肿瘤发生。提出了以下特定目的：1）描绘分子 PHLPP介导的EIF2α/ATF4信号的调节的机制。我们将确定是否 PHLPP的下调使结肠癌细胞由于自噬而抗化疗药物激活; 2）确定PHLPP介导的线粒体动力学调节的功能重要性； 3）定义线粒体动力学在与PHLPP损伤合作以促进肿瘤发生的作用体内。我们的研究将填补有关线粒体动力学改变的重要知识差距结肠癌的起始和进展。这种补充剂将允许Carolina Galeano-Naranjo女士收到进一步进行基础和翻译癌症研究的培训。她的结果将有助于确定通过控制线粒体活性，PHLPP在CRC中的作用。她将确定CRC中是否发现PHLPP突变患者干扰了他们控制DRP1磷酸化和线粒体裂变的能力。最终，通过为压力反应的PHLPP依赖性调节提供机械洞察力，我们的发现将有助于识别新的治疗选择，并根据PHLPP状态更好地预测化学疗法剂的有效性癌症患者。
