项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract This translational proposal focuses on the use of inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases CDK4 and CDK6 for breast cancer treatment. CDK4 and CDK6 are components of the core cell cycle machinery that are activated upon interaction with their regulatory subunits, the D-type cyclins (cyclins D1, D2 and D3). Inhibitors of CDK4/6 palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib received ‘Breakthrough Therapy’ designation status from the FDA and have been approved for treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancers. In addition, these compounds are now in clinical trials for several other cancer types. A large number of studies demonstrated that treatment of human cancer cells with CDK4/6 inhibitors blocks tumor cell proliferation, and in some cases causes tumor cell senescence. Working together with Dr. Polyak, we observed that tumor cells expressing high levels of cyclin D3-CDK6 complexes undergo cell death upon CDK4/6 inhibition. We found that cyclin D3- CDK6, but not several other types of cyclin D-CDK4/6 complexes analyzed by us (such as cyclin D1-CDK4), plays a rate-limiting role in regulating tumor cell metabolism, and protects tumor cells against elevated levels of reactive oxygen species. In an independent study, we found that in mouse and human tumor cells, cyclin D- CDK4 kinase regulates the levels of an immune checkpoint protein, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). Using mouse cancer models and in vitro cultured cells, we found that treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors results in upregulation of PD-L1 protein levels in tumor cells. We also found that combined administration of CDK4/6 inhibitors with antibodies that target the interaction between programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1 increased the efficacy of immune checkpoint therapy. In the studies proposed here, we will extend these observations to breast cancers. In Aim 1, we will work with Drs. Polyak and Brown to test our hypothesis that measuring cyclin D3 and CDK6 levels in human breast cancers may allow one to identify breast cancer cases that are particularly sensitive to CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment, as cyclin D3/CDK6-high tumors might undergo tumor cell death and tumor regression upon CDK4/6 inhibition. We will also explore ways to trigger apoptosis of breast cancers expressing predominantly cyclin D1 and CDK4. We will address these issues using xenografts of human breast cancer cell lines and patient-derived breast cancer xenografts. We will also work with Drs. Polyak and Brown to address the intra- and inter-tumoral heterogeneity of breast cancers, which may influence the outcomes. In Aim 2, we test our hypothesis that CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment would increase the efficacy of immune checkpoint therapy for breast cancers and result in tumor regression and improved survival rates in mouse breast cancer models. We will study this using mice bearing breast cancer allografts as well as autochthonous triple-negative breast tumors. The expected overall impact of this proposal is that it will provide means to identify breast cancer cases that are particularly sensitive to anti- CDK4/6 therapy, and establish novel, highly effective combinatorial treatments involving CDK4/6 inhibitors.

项目摘要/摘要该翻译的建议重点是使用细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶CDK4和CDK6的抑制剂乳腺癌治疗。 CDK4和CDK6是激活的核心细胞周期机械的组件与其调节亚基相互作用后，D型细胞周期蛋白（Cyclins D1，D2和D3）。抑制剂 CDK4/6 PALBOCICLIB，RIBOCICLIB和ABEMACICLIB从 FDA并已获得批准用于治疗雌激素受体阳性乳腺癌。另外，这些现在，其他几种癌症类型的化合物正在临床试验中。大量研究证明用CDK4/6抑制剂治疗人类癌细胞会阻止肿瘤细胞的增殖，在某些情况下引起肿瘤细胞的感应。与Polyak博士一起工作，我们观察到表达的肿瘤细胞高水平的细胞周期蛋白D3-CDK6复合物在CDK4/6抑制后经历细胞死亡。我们发现细胞周期蛋白D3- CDK6，但没有美国分析的其他几种类型的细胞周期蛋白D-CDK4/6复合物（例如Cyclin d1-CDK4），在调节肿瘤细胞代谢中起限制速率的作用，并保护肿瘤细胞免受升高的水平活性氧。在一项独立的研究中，我们发现在小鼠和人类肿瘤细胞中，细胞周期蛋白D- CDK4激酶调节免疫切除蛋白的水平，编程的死亡凸凸（PD-L1）。使用小鼠癌模型和体外培养细胞，我们发现用CDK4/6抑制剂治疗结果肿瘤细胞中PD-L1蛋白水平的上调。我们还发现CDK4/6的组合给药具有抗体的抑制剂，该抗体靶向程序性细胞死亡蛋白1（PD-1）及其之间的相互作用配体PD-L1提高了免疫检查点疗法的效率。在这里提出的研究中，我们将将这些观察结果扩展到乳腺癌。在AIM 1中，我们将与Drs合作。 polyak和棕色测试我们假设人乳腺癌中测量细胞周期蛋白D3和CDK6水平可能允许一个人识别对CDK4/6抑制剂治疗特别敏感的乳腺癌病例，如细胞周期蛋白D3/CDK6高 CDK4/6抑制后，肿瘤可能会经历肿瘤细胞死亡和肿瘤消退。我们还将探索触发主要表达细胞周期蛋白D1和CDK4的乳腺癌凋亡的方法。我们将解决这些问题使用人类乳腺癌细胞系和患者衍生的乳腺癌饰面的Xenographys。我们还将与Drs合作。 polyak和棕色以解决乳房内和肿瘤间异质性癌症，可能会影响结果。在AIM 2中，我们检验了CDK4/6抑制剂治疗的假设会提高乳腺癌免疫检查点疗法的效率，并导致肿瘤消退并提高了小鼠乳腺癌模型的存活率。我们将使用带有乳房的鼠标进行研究癌症同种异体以及自节感染三阴性乳腺肿瘤。预期的总体影响提案是，它将提供鉴定乳腺癌病例特别敏感的乳腺癌病例 CDK4/6治疗，并建立涉及CDK4/6抑制剂的新型，高效的组合治疗。
