项目摘要

The purpose of this proposed R21 project is to develop and validate a novel, clinically relevant mouse model for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. Most human breast cancers are ER+ and are treated by endocrine therapy. Current clinical challenges for treating ER+ breast cancer include: 1) some patients do not respond to or develop resistance to endocrine therapy; 2) some patients eventually progress to ER+ metastatic breast cancer. Animal models that can faithfully recapitulate the biology of ER+ breast cancer are essential for addressing these challenges in a preclinical setting. However, current in vivo models are inadequate. It remains an unmet clinical need to more faithfully model ER+ breast cancer under the physiological setting. The failure to model ER+ breast cancer faithfully in animals (e.g., mice) may be due to: 1) oncogenic events are not targeted to the correct cellular origin; 2) oncogenic mutations specifically associated with human ER+ breast tumors are rarely modeled in mice. Taking these into consideration, we recently developed a new mouse model for ER+ breast cancer based on a recurrent genetic mutation uniquely found in human ER+ breast tumors, i.e., loss-of-function mutation or deletion of an estrogen/ER signaling- related transcription factor gene, RUNX1. The model is based on intraductal injection of a Cre-expressing adenovirus (Ad-Cre) under the control of the Keratin 8 promoter (Ad-K8-Cre) to female mice carrying conditional knockout alleles of Runx1 and p53. Ad-K8-Cre-induced loss of RUNX1 and p53 in K8+ luminal mammary epithelial cells (MECs) led to development of ER+ mammary tumors with hyperactive ribosome biogenesis and immune responses, which are also observed in human RUNX1-deficient ER+ breast cancers. However, since Ad-K8-Cre targets both ER+ and ER- luminal MECs and the resulting tumors exhibited features of both ER+ and Claudin-low (i.e., tumor cells with mesenchymal-like appearance) cancers, it is unclear whether the mixed tumor phenotype is due to their different cellular origins (e.g., ER+ vs. ER- luminal MECs) and/or due to p53-loss (which promotes cell fate plasticity). We hypothesize that in order to make this model more clinically relevant to human ER+ breast cancer, it can be further improved by inducing RUNX1- loss and its cooperating oncogenic events (i.e., other than p53-loss) specifically in ER+ luminal MECs (i.e., the potential cellular origin of ER+ breast cancer). To address this, two Specific Aims are proposed. Aim 1 will focus on developing a new Ad-Cre tool to specifically target Cre expression to the ER+ luminal sublineage, so that mammary tumorigenesis is initiated only from ER+ luminal cells. In Aim 2, we will test if oncogenic events affecting the RB-E2F pathway (as hyperactive ribosome biogenesis may lead to ribosomal stress, which may cause cell cycle arrest via this pathway) would cooperate with RUNX1-loss, leading to ER+ mammary tumors from luminal MECs. The successful development of such model would provide an invaluable tool for better understanding the biology and therapy of ER+ breast cancer.
这个拟议的R21项目的目的是开发和验证一种新的,临床相关的小鼠模型 雌激素受体阳性(ER+)乳腺癌。大多数人乳腺癌是ER+, 内分泌治疗目前治疗ER+乳腺癌的临床挑战包括:1)一些患者不 对内分泌治疗有反应或产生耐药性; 2)一些患者最终进展为ER+ 转移性乳腺癌。可以忠实地概括ER+乳腺癌生物学的动物模型是 对于在临床前环境中应对这些挑战至关重要。然而,目前的体内模型 不足在乳腺癌模型下更忠实地建模ER+乳腺癌仍然是未满足的临床需求。 生理环境未能在动物中忠实地建模ER+乳腺癌(例如,小鼠)可能是由于: 1)致癌事件不是针对正确的细胞起源; 2)致癌突变特异性 与人ER+乳腺肿瘤相关的肿瘤很少在小鼠中建模。考虑到这些因素,我们 最近开发了一种新的ER+乳腺癌小鼠模型,该模型基于一种独特的复发性基因突变, 在人ER+乳腺肿瘤中发现,即,雌激素/ER信号传导的功能丧失突变或缺失- 相关转录因子基因RUNX 1。该模型是基于导管内注射表达Cr 在角蛋白8启动子(Ad-K8-Cre)的控制下,将腺病毒(Ad-Cre)转染至携带 Runx 1和p53的条件敲除等位基因。Ad-K8-Cre诱导的K8+细胞中RUNX 1和p53的丢失 乳腺上皮细胞(MEC)导致ER+乳腺肿瘤的发展,具有高度活跃的核糖体 生物发生和免疫应答,这也在人RUNX 1缺陷型ER+乳腺癌中观察到。 然而,由于Ad-K8-Cre靶向ER+和ER-管腔MEC两者,并且所产生的肿瘤表现出与ER+和ER-管腔MEC的相似性。 ER+和紧密连接蛋白-低的特征(即,具有间充质样外观的肿瘤细胞)癌症, 不清楚混合肿瘤表型是否是由于它们的不同细胞起源(例如,ER+与ER-管腔 MEC)和/或由于p53缺失(其促进细胞命运可塑性)。我们假设为了让这个 在临床上与人ER+乳腺癌更相关的模型中,它可以通过诱导RUNX 1- 损失及其协同致癌事件(即,而不是p53-缺失)在ER+管腔MEC中特异性地表达(即, ER+乳腺癌的潜在细胞起源)。为此,提出了两个具体目标。要求1 将专注于开发一种新的Ad-Cre工具,以特异性地将Cre表达靶向ER+管腔亚系, 因此乳腺肿瘤发生仅从ER+管腔细胞开始。在目标2中,我们将测试是否致癌 影响RB-E2 F途径的事件(因为过度活跃的核糖体生物发生可能导致核糖体应激, 这可能会导致细胞周期停滞通过这一途径)将与RUNX 1的损失,导致ER+ 来自管腔MEC的乳腺肿瘤。这种模式的成功发展将提供一个 更好地了解ER+乳腺癌的生物学和治疗的宝贵工具。
