项目摘要
Project Summary/Abstract
Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is a highly aggressive subtype of prostate cancer that can arise de
novo, but more commonly develops after hormone therapies for advanced prostate adenocarcinoma (PADC). It
accounts for up to 25% of deaths related to prostate cancer. Current treatment options for NEPC are only
palliative, and most patients die within several months. Therefore, there is a pressing unmet need to develop
effective targeted therapies for patients with NEPC.
Among molecular events associated with NEPC, loss of retinoblastoma (RB) protein occurs nearly
universally and drives prostate cancer castration resistance, metastasis, lineage plasticity, and lethality, which
suggests that RB1 loss is a pivotal event in the development of NEPC and may be exploited to identify and target
therapeutic vulnerabilities in NEPC. In our recent research into the molecular and genetic events underlying
ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, we discovered that RB1
disruptions significantly sensitize prostate cancer cells to ferroptosis, at least in part, through a RB/E2F/ACSL4
axis, and that ferroptosis inducers preferentially kill RB1-null NEPC cells rather than RB1-intact PADC cells,
implying the therapeutic potential of ferroptosis inducers in the treatment of NEPC. Given that NEPC is
notoriously hard to treat and monotherapy often benefits only a small portion of patients, as is the cases with
other poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumors such as small-cell carcinoma of the lung, we propose to
develop an effective combinatorial therapy for NEPC based on targeting ferroptosis. Our exciting unpublished
preliminary data has shown that the combination of the ferroptosis inducer with the BCL2 inhibitor strongly
induces synergistic cytotoxicity in NEPC cells both in vitro and in cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) models of
NEPC. Based on these compelling preliminary findings, we hypothesize that ferroptosis inducers and BCL2
inhibitors synergistically promote cell death pathways in NEPC cells, and that co-targeting ferroptosis and BCL2
represents a promising combinatorial approach to treating lethal NEPC. Through a multidisciplinary approach
combining unique prostate cancer model systems, in vivo preclinical studies, and well-established molecular and
cellular assays, we aim to determine whether co-targeting ferroptosis and BCL2 represents a promising
combinatorial approach to treating lethal NEPC. In Aim 1, we will determine the therapeutic efficacy of ferroptosis
induction combined with BCL2 inhibition in patient-derived xenograft models of NEPC. In Aim 2, we will determine
the therapeutic efficacy of ferroptosis induction combined with BCL2 inhibition in genetically engineered mouse
models of NEPC. In Aim 3, we will elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-tumor activity of
ferroptosis induction combined with BCL2 inhibition in NEPC.
项目总结/摘要
神经内分泌前列腺癌(NEPC)是一种高度侵袭性的前列腺癌亚型,可发生于晚期。
新发,但更常见于晚期前列腺癌(PADC)的激素治疗后。它
占前列腺癌相关死亡人数的25%目前NEPC的治疗方案只有
姑息治疗,大多数患者在几个月内死亡。因此,迫切需要开发
为NEPC患者提供有效的靶向治疗。
在NEPC相关的分子事件中,视网膜母细胞瘤(RB)蛋白的丢失几乎发生在
普遍存在并驱动前列腺癌去势抵抗、转移、谱系可塑性和致死性,
这表明RB 1的缺失是NEPC发展的关键事件,可用于识别和靶向
NEPC的治疗弱点。在我们最近的研究中,
铁凋亡,一种由铁依赖性脂质过氧化驱动的受调节的细胞死亡形式,我们发现RB 1
破坏显著地使前列腺癌细胞对铁凋亡敏感,至少部分地通过RB/E2 F/ACSL 4
轴,并且铁凋亡诱导剂优先杀死RB 1缺失的NEPC细胞而不是RB 1完整的PADC细胞,
暗示了铁凋亡诱导剂在NEPC治疗中的治疗潜力。鉴于NEPC是
众所周知,它很难治疗,单药治疗往往只对一小部分患者有益,
其他低分化的神经内分泌肿瘤,如肺小细胞癌,我们建议
以铁凋亡为靶点,开发出治疗NEPC的有效组合疗法。我们令人兴奋的未出版的
初步数据显示,铁凋亡诱导剂与BCL 2抑制剂的组合强烈地
在体外和细胞系来源的异种移植物(CDX)模型中诱导NEPC细胞的协同细胞毒性。
NEPC。基于这些令人信服的初步发现,我们假设铁凋亡诱导剂和BCL 2
抑制剂协同促进NEPC细胞中的细胞死亡途径,并且共靶向铁凋亡和BCL 2
代表了治疗致命NEPC的有前途的组合方法。通过多学科的方法
结合独特的前列腺癌模型系统,体内临床前研究,以及成熟的分子和
细胞试验,我们的目的是确定是否共同靶向铁凋亡和BCL 2代表了一个有前途的
治疗致命NEPC的组合方法。在目标1中,我们将确定铁下垂的治疗效果
在患者来源的NEPC异种移植模型中,诱导与BCL 2抑制组合。在目标2中,我们将确定
诱导铁凋亡联合抑制BCL-2基因工程小鼠的治疗效果
NEPC模型在目标3中,我们将阐明的抗肿瘤活性的分子机制,
在NEPC中,铁凋亡诱导与BCL 2抑制相结合。
