项目摘要

Project Summary Age-related diseases, including cancer, are the major causes of morbidity and mortality in Western society. While cancer in the genetically heterogeneous human population primarily occurs in the aged, cancer research to-date has primarily utilized young, inbred animals. As the effect of aging and host factors on cancer development and progression has grown increasingly evident, the limitations of this approach have become clear. Understanding how aging impacts cancer development, progression, and the response to interventions will provide mechanistic insights into the prevention and treatment of cancer as individuals grow older, and eventually will permit the development of new pharmacological approaches to this age-associated disease that will enable healthy aging. Here, we build on recent work by our team and others demonstrating that restricting dietary protein, or restriction of specific dietary amino acids, can extend the lifespan and healthspan of mice. We will utilize methionine restriction (MR), a dietary intervention that extends longevity and improves metabolic health in mice, and which in mouse xenograft studies has been shown to slow the progression of certain cancers, including breast cancer, the most common cancer in older women. Limitations of MR research to date include the fact that the effect of MR on healthspan is limited in scope, that the effects of MR have been studied only in a few young mouse strains, and that the cancer studies done to-date have exclusively relied on young hosts. Understanding how MR affects the healthspan, longevity, and natural development of breast cancer during the aging of genetically heterogeneous mice will provide valuable new insights into the potential application of MR-based interventions for the health, longevity and treatment of cancer in the genetically heterogeneous human population. We will use cutting edge techniques to isolate and characterize cancer initiating cells (CICs), examine how changes in levels of methionine and its metabolites affect the epigenome. We will use two breast tumor models to examine how host age impacts CICs, tumor growth and/or metastasis and the response to MR. Finally, we will determine the role of specific molecular sensors of methionine metabolites in the epigenetic and anti-cancer effects of MR during aging. The proposed work will address long- standing questions regarding the molecular mechanisms by which dietary components regulate healthy aging and cancer.

项目摘要与年龄有关的疾病，包括癌症，是西方发病率和死亡率的主要原因社会。尽管遗传异质人口中的癌症主要发生在老年人中，但癌症待日期的研究主要利用了年轻的近交动物。作为衰老和宿主因素对癌症的影响发展和发展越来越明显，这种方法的局限性已成为清除。了解衰老如何影响癌症的发展，进展和对干预措施的反应随着个体的年龄增长，将提供有关癌症预防和治疗的机械见解，并且最终将允许开发与这种年龄相关疾病的新药理方法将使健康的衰老。在这里，我们以团队和其他人的最新工作为基础，证明了限制饮食蛋白的限制或限制特定的饮食氨基酸可以延长小鼠的寿命和健康状态。我们将利用蛋氨酸限制（MR），一种饮食干预措施，可延长寿命并改善小鼠的代谢健康，并且在小鼠异种移植研究中的研究已证明会减慢某些癌症的进展，包括乳腺癌是老年女性最常见的癌症。迄今为止先生研究的局限性包括以下事实 MR对HealthSpan的影响的范围有限，仅在少数年轻人中研究了MR的效果小鼠菌株，并且迄今为止所做的癌症研究仅依赖于年轻宿主。了解MR如何影响乳腺癌的健康状况，寿命和自然发展在遗传性异构小鼠衰老期间，将为潜力提供宝贵的新见解基于MR的干预措施在遗传上的健康，寿命和治疗癌症的健康，寿命和治疗异构人口。我们将使用尖端技术来隔离和表征癌症引发细胞（CICS），检查蛋氨酸及其代谢物水平的变化如何影响表观基因组。我们将使用两种乳腺肿瘤模型来检查宿主年龄如何影响CIC，肿瘤生长和/或转移以及对先生的反应。最后，我们将确定蛋氨酸特定分子传感器的作用 MR在衰老过程中的表观遗传和抗癌作用中的代谢产物。拟议的工作将长期解决关于饮食成分调节健康衰老的分子机制的常规问题和癌症。
