DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The main goal of this project is to investigate whether dietary isoflavones such as genistein can inhibit prostate cancer growth through activation of tumor suppressor microRNAs (miRNAs) using both in vitro and in vivo models. Prostate cancer is the most common male malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States. The rationale for this project is that recent studies have shown significant effects of diet on modulation of miRNAs using both in vitro and in vivo models. Based on our preliminary data and published literature, we hypothesize that genistein can activate a set of tumor suppressor miRNAs thereby inhibiting prostate cancer progression through two different pathways. First, genistein induced tumor suppressor miRNAs can repress oncogene expression by binding to the 3' untranslated region of mRNA (3'UTR). Second genistein induced tumor suppressor miRNAs can activate the transcription of tumor suppressor genes by binding to the 5' upstream region of the gene or activate translation by binding to the 5' untranslated region of mRNA (5'UTR). This project is novel and timely because the roles of genistein mediated activation of tumor suppressor miRNAs in the regulation of prostate cancer progression have not been investigated. We also hypothesize that the molecular mechanism of genistein's mediated activation of tumor suppressor miRNAs are through epigenetic pathways. These hypotheses will be tested by pursuing the following three specific aims. Specific Aim # 1. To test the hypothesis that genistein mediated activation of tumor suppressor microRNAs are involved in the regulation of prostate cancer. Specific Aim # 2: To test the hypothesis that DNA methylation and histone modifications are the key mechanisms of genistein mediated activation of microRNAs in prostate cancer. Specific Aim # 3: To test the hypothesis that genistein can suppress prostate cancer growth in a nude mouse model through activation of microRNAs. Impact: The project will provide a novel paradigm with high impact in the field of management of prostate cancer since dietary mediated activation of tumor suppressor miRNAs and their roles in the inhibition of prostate cancer progression have never been investigated. Successful accomplishment of these experiments will provide novel strategies for the treatment of prostate cancer. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Prostate cancer is the most common male malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States. The rationale for this project is that recent studies have shown significant effects of diet on modulation of miRNAs using both in vitro and in vivo models. Based on our preliminary data and published literature, we hypothesize that genistein can activate a set of tumor suppressor miRNAs thereby inhibiting prostate cancer progression through different pathways. The major barrier to progress in the management of prostate cancer is the high toxicity of the drugs currently in use. The present proposal will address this problem by investigating the use of dietary methods for the management of prostate cancer in both in vitro and in vivo models. We have proposed a series of experiments to investigate the role of genistein in the regulation of prostate cancer progression through modulation of tumor suppressor miRNAs.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的主要目标是研究饮食中的异黄酮（例如染料木黄酮）是否可以使用体外和体内模型通过激活肿瘤抑制microRNA（miRNA）来抑制前列腺癌的生长。前列腺癌是美国男性最常见的男性恶性肿瘤，也是癌症死亡的第二大原因。该项目的理由是，最近的研究表明，使用体外和体内模型都对饮食对miRNA的调节进行了显着影响。根据我们的初步数据和发表的文献，我们假设染料木黄酮可以激活一组肿瘤抑制器miRNA，从而通过两种不同的途径抑制前列腺癌的进展。首先，染料木黄酮诱导的肿瘤抑制miRNA可以通过与mRNA的3'未翻译区域结合（3'UTR）来抑制癌基因的表达（3'UTR）。第二种染料木黄酮诱导的肿瘤抑制器miRNA可以通过与基因的5'上游区域结合或通过与5'mRNA的5'未翻译区域（5'UTR）结合来激活肿瘤抑制基因的转录。该项目是新颖的，并且是及时的，因为尚未研究染料黄酮介导的肿瘤抑制miRNA在前列腺癌进展中的活化。我们还假设，染料木黄酮介导的肿瘤抑制器激活的分子机制是通过表观遗传途径。这些假设将通过追求以下三个特定目标来检验。具体目的＃1。为了测试染料木黄酮介导的肿瘤抑制microRNA激活的假设参与了前列腺癌的调节。具体目的＃2：检验以下假设：DNA甲基化和组蛋白的修饰是染料木黄酮介导的前列腺癌激活的关键机制。特定目的＃3：测试染料木黄酮可以通过激活microRNA抑制前列腺癌的生长的假设。影响：该项目将在前列腺癌管理领域提供新的范式，因为饮食介导的肿瘤抑制miRNA激活及其在抑制前列腺癌进展中的作用，从未研究过。这些实验的成功完成将为治疗前列腺癌提供新的策略。 公共卫生相关性：前列腺癌是美国男性最常见的男性恶性肿瘤，也是癌症死亡的第二大原因。该项目的理由是，最近的研究表明，使用体外和体内模型都对饮食对miRNA的调节进行了显着影响。基于我们的初步数据和发表的文献，我们假设染料木黄酮可以激活一组肿瘤抑制器miRNA，从而抑制前列腺癌通过不同途径的进展。前列腺癌管理进展的主要障碍是目前正在使用的药物的高毒性。本提案将通过研究在体外和体内模型中使用饮食方法来治疗前列腺癌的方法来解决此问题。我们提出了一系列实验，以通过调节肿瘤抑制器miRNA来研究染料木黄酮在调节前列腺癌进展中的作用。
