PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Despite therapeutic advances, over 600,000 people in the US will die from cancer in 2019. Preventing cancer eliminates the risk of mortality and/or morbidity that may occur with the development of cancer. Thus, cancer prevention represents the most effective way for addressing cancer challenges. Healthy diet is considered be essential to reduce cancer risk by maintaining and improving immunity, but recent VITAL trials did not show beneficial effects of these supplements. The negative results reflect the mechanistic knowledge gap of how dietary factors modulate health. The objectives of this renewal application are to determine cellular and molecular mechanisms by which epithelial fatty acid binding protein (E-FABP) promotes n-3 fatty acid- mediated tumor prevention by enhancing immune cell differentiation and anti-tumor activity. Data collected in the last funding cycle have successfully established E-FABP as a new host-derived cancer prevention factor in non-obese subjects. During our studies, we observed that different types of high fat diets (HFD, 45% fat), including cocoa butter (rich in saturated fatty acids, FAs), safflower oil (rich in 18:2 linoleic acid), fish oil (rich in n-3 FAs), all induced similar degree of obesity in mouse models. However, tumor growth in these obese mice was dramatically different with the fastest growth in cocoa butter group and slowest in the fish oil group. In analyzing the immunophenotype of these obese mice, we found an atypical population of CD8+ γδ T cells that was specifically upregulated in the fish oil group. More interestingly, fish oil diet-induced CD8+ γδ T differentiation and anti-tumor effects were blunted in mice lacking E-FABP, suggesting a novel molecular mechanism mediated by E-FABP. Thus, we hypothesized that host expression of E-FABP plays a critical role in n-3 FA-induced immune cell differentiation and anti-tumor function. Three specific aims are proposed to address the central hypothesis in this renewal application. Specific Aim 1 will determine the mechanisms by which E-FABP promotes n-3 FA-induced immune cell differentiation. Experiments are designed to elucidate molecular mechanisms by which consumption of dietary n-3 FAs regulate CD8+ γδ T cell differentiation via E- FABP-dependent epigenetic reprogramming. Specific Aim 2 will delineate how E-FABP mediates n-3 FA- induced anti-tumor activity. Results of Aim 2 are expected to reveal that E-FABP promotes host anti-tumor activity through targeting both immune cells and tumor-derived epithelial cells. Specific Aim 3 will evaluate whether targeting E-FABP with optimized n-3 FA diets results in effective tumor prevention. In summary, successful completion of this proposal will offer E-FABP as a new cancer prevention target and have significant mechanistic and clinical implications for healthy diet-mediated cancer prevention.
