项目摘要

Abstract The overarching goal of this study is to identify effective metabolic based diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to improve the overall survival of patients with Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We propose to investigate the positron emission tomography (PET) tracer, 18F-BnTP as a novel metabolic diagnostic and to develop metabolic based therapeutic strategies targeting oxidative mitochondrial metabolism in therapy resistant KRAS/LKB1 and EGFR mutant lung tumors. NSCLC will claim the lives of ~130,000 in the US in 2021. Lung tumors frequently possess a high mutational burden, often rendering single agent therapies targeting oncogenic driver mutations unsuccessful. Furthermore, metabolically active subsets of lung adenocarcinomas (LUADs) bearing mutations in KRAS and LKB1 or EGFR are frequently resistant to immunotherapy approaches. However, regardless of the initials benefits from checkpoint inhibitors or targeted therapies, the majority of patients will eventually develop resistance to therapy. We rationalize a different approach to overcoming therapy resistance in NSCLC – namely the classification of tumors by their metabolic signature. Here, tumors are grouped and targeted by their metabolic dependencies rather than solely by their genetic alterations. NSCLC is a metabolically heterogeneous disease and tumors utilize both glycolytic and oxidative mitochondrial metabolism to grow. The mitochondria are the site of cellular bioenergetics and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and are essential for lung tumor initiation and maintenance. Due to a lack of in vivo imaging probes there is a gap in our knowledge at a physiological and mechanistic level of how mitochondrial bioenergetics are regulated in NSCLC. To address this gap, we functionally imaged mitochondrial activity in lung tumors utilizing the PET imaging tracer 18F-BnTP and demonstrate that it functions an in vivo biomarker of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ) and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in lung tumors3. Importantly, by using 18F-BnTP PET imaging we are able to distinguish between OXPHOS dependent and independent lung tumors. Therapeutically, we have demonstrated that 18F-BnTP positive, OXPHOS-dependent LUADs are sensitive to mitochondrial complex I inhibitors. We hypothesize that 18F-BnTP PET imaging can be utilized to functionally profile mitochondrial bioenergetics and adaptive oxidative metabolism in therapy-resistant lung tumors to guide treatment with OXPHOS inhibitors. In aim 1 we will perform an in vivo dissection of mitochondrial bioenergetics in therapy-resistant LUADs. In aim 2 we will perform a structural and functional in vivo analysis of adaptive oxidative metabolism in therapy-resistant KRAS/LKB1 and EGFR mutant LUADs. In Aim 3 we will longitudinally profile oxidative metabolism in LUAD patients with advanced disease. The proposed work has relevance to human health in which we propose that 18F-BnTP PET imaging guided targeting and oxidative metabolism represents a new therapeutic strategy to overcome therapy resistance in patients with KRAS/LKB1 and EGFR mutant tumors.

抽象的这项研究的总体目标是确定有效的基于代谢的诊断和治疗策略为了提高非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）患者的总体生存率，我们建议进行研究。正电子发射断层扫描 (PET) 示踪剂 18F-BnTP 作为一种新型代谢诊断并开发针对治疗耐药的氧化线粒体代谢的基于代谢的治疗策略 2021 年，KRAS/LKB1 和 EGFR 突变肺肿瘤将夺去美国约 130,000 人的生命。肺肿瘤通常具有高突变负荷，通常需要单药治疗此外，代谢活跃的肺腺癌亚型也有致癌突变的驱动。携带 KRAS 和 LKB1 或 EGFR 突变的 (LUAD) 经常对免疫治疗产生耐药性然而，无论检查点抑制剂或靶向治疗最初有什么好处，大多数患者最终会对治疗产生耐药性，我们合理化了一种不同的治疗方法。克服非小细胞肺癌的治疗耐药性——即根据肿瘤的代谢特征对肿瘤进行分类。在这里，肿瘤是根据其代谢依赖性而不是仅仅根据其遗传来分组和靶向的 NSCLC 是一种代谢异质性疾病，肿瘤同时利用糖酵解和氧化作用。线粒体代谢生长。线粒体是细胞生物能量和氧化的场所。由于缺乏磷酸化（OXPHOS），对于肺肿瘤的发生和维持至关重要。体内成像探针在生理和机械层面上我们的知识存在差距线粒体生物能量学在非小细胞肺癌中受到调节为了解决这一差距，我们对功能进行了成像。利用 PET 成像示踪剂 18F-BnTP 检测肺部肿瘤中的线粒体活性，并证明它是线粒体膜电位 (ΔΨ) 和氧化磷酸化的体内生物标志物重要的是，通过使用 18F-BnTP PET 成像，我们能够区分肺部肿瘤中的 OXPHOS。在治疗上，我们已经证明 18F-BnTP 具有依赖性和非依赖性肺部肿瘤。阳性、OXPHOS 依赖性 LUAD 对线粒体复合物 I 抑制剂敏感。 18F-BnTP PET 成像可用于功能性分析线粒体生物能学和适应性氧化在目标 1 中，我们将研究耐药性肺部肿瘤的代谢，以指导 OXPHOS 抑制剂的治疗。在目标 2 中，我们将对治疗耐药的 LUAD 中的线粒体生物能进行体内解剖。对治疗耐药的适应性氧化代谢进行结构和功能体内分析 KRAS/LKB1 和 EGFR 突变体 LUAD 在目标 3 中，我们将纵向分析 LUAD 中的氧化代谢。拟议的工作与人类健康相关，我们建议： 18F-BnTP PET 成像引导靶向和氧化代谢代表了一种新的治疗策略克服 KRAS/LKB1 和 EGFR 突变肿瘤患者的治疗耐药性。
