项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract The objective of the proposed studies is to determine whether a novel anti-inflammatory lignan arctigenin will enhance the chemopreventive effect of green tea (GT) and quercetin (Q) in mouse models, and to identify the underlying mechanisms. GT and its bioactive components GT polyphenols (GTPs) are promising agents in the prevention of prostate cancer. However, the low bioavailability of GTPs limits the success of GT in humans. My previous cell culture and mouse studies demonstrated that the anti-cancer activity of GT can be significantly increased by combination with Q, a natural methylation inhibitor from onions and apples. The combination treatment of Q with GT increases the tissue concentrations of GTPs and decreases the conversion of GTPs to their less bioactive methyl metabolites. Further, we demonstrated in vitro that the combination of very low dose of arctigenin, a novel anti-inflammatory compound mainly from the seed of the herb Arctium lappa, with GT and Q synergistically enhanced the anti-proliferative effect of GT+Q by 2-3 fold in androgen-dependent LNCaP cells. Mechanistic investigations revealed an increase in apoptosis and in inhibition of PI3K/Akt and androgen receptor (AR) pathways by the combination treatment compared to individual compound. A similar pattern in anti-proliferation was also observed in pre-malignant prostate WPE1-NA22 cells with the combination treatment. The proposed project will determine whether this synergistic effect of the combination also occurs in vivo in mouse models. The specific aims include: 1) To determine whether co-treatment of arctigenin with GT and Q will enhance the chemopreventive activity of GT and Q in prostate specific PTEN knockout mice using tumor volume and tumor stage as study endpoints; 2) To validate in vivo the molecular mechanisms responsible for the combined effect of GT, Q and arctigenin with focus on the PI3K/Akt and AR pathways in tumor tissues. The proposed project will make significant contributions to clinical practice by providing a highly effective non-toxic regimen to enhance chemoprevention of prostate cancer at physiologically achievable concentrations of natural compounds. In addition to their direct activity to inhibit carcinogenesis, these natural compounds provide health benefits in prevention and treatment of risk factors of prostate cancer such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

项目概要/摘要拟议研究的目的是确定一种新型抗炎木脂素牛蒡甙元是否会增强绿茶 (GT) 和槲皮素 (Q) 在小鼠模型中的化学预防作用，并确定底层机制。 GT 及其生物活性成分 GT 多酚 (GTP) 是有前途的药物预防前列腺癌。然而，GTP 的低生物利用度限制了 GT 在人类中的成功。我的之前的细胞培养和小鼠研究表明，GT 的抗癌活性可以显着增强。与 Q（一种来自洋葱和苹果的天然甲基化抑制剂）结合使用会增加。组合用 GT 处理 Q 会增加 GTP 的组织浓度，并减少 GTP 转化为它们的甲基代谢物生物活性较低。此外，我们在体外证明，极低剂量的组合牛蒡甙元是一种新型抗炎化合物，主要来自草本植物牛蒡子的种子，具有 GT 和 Q 协同增强 GT+Q 在雄激素依赖性 LNCaP 中的抗增殖作用 2-3 倍细胞。机制研究揭示细胞凋亡增加以及 PI3K/Akt 和雄激素抑制与单独化合物相比，联合治疗的受体（AR）途径。类似的模式在联合用药在癌前前列腺 WPE1-NA22 细胞中也观察到抗增殖作用治疗。拟议的项目将确定这种组合的协同效应是否也发生在小鼠模型体内。具体目的包括： 1) 确定牛蒡甙元是否与 GT 联合处理和 Q 将增强 GT 和 Q 在前列腺特异性 PTEN 敲除小鼠中的化学预防活性以肿瘤体积和肿瘤分期作为研究终点； 2) 体内验证分子机制负责 GT、Q 和牛蒡甙元的联合作用，重点关注 PI3K/Akt 和 AR 通路肿瘤组织。拟议的项目将通过提供高度的临床实践做出重大贡献有效的无毒方案，在生理上可实现的情况下增强前列腺癌的化学预防天然化合物的浓度。除了直接抑制致癌作用外，这些天然物质化合物在预防和治疗前列腺癌的危险因素方面提供健康益处，例如肥胖和2型糖尿病。
