项目摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
Malignant melanoma has an unusually high propensity to metastasize to the brain; among stage IV patients
40-50% will develop clinically detectable intracranial disease, while on autopsy brain metastases can be
detected in over 70% of patients. Additionally, melanoma brain metastases are a marker of poor prognosis and
despite improvements with systemic targeted therapies and immunotherapies, intracranial control still remains
a significant challenge. In the brain microenvironment, melanoma cells are found predominantly in a
perivascular niche where they “co-opt” the vasculature to support their survival and invasion deep into the
cortex. While this vascular co-optive growth pattern has been associated with poor survival in melanoma
metastasis, vascular-mediated mechanisms are poorly understood and represents a unique opportunity to
target the cohesive interactions between melanoma cells and the endothelium to prevent or treat brain
metastases. My preliminary data has uncovered a vascular-mediated induction of transforming growth factor
beta (TGFβ) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFRβ) in melanoma cells after contact with
brain endothelial cells. Additionally, this TGFβ-PDGFRβ signaling axis can activate the downstream PI3K/AKT
pathway, which has sustained activation when the tumor suppressor phosphatase tensin homolog (PTEN) is
lost. PI3K/AKT activation or loss of PTEN has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of melanoma brain
metastases but has not been explored in the context of vascular-mediated survival or invasion. Thus, in my
proposal I hypothesize that vascular-mediated induction of TGFβ-PDGFRβ signaling in concert with
PTEN loss is important for melanoma cell invasion and survival in the brain microenvironment.
Throughout my proposal, I will generate and utilize isogenic lines with alterations in TGFβ, PDGFRβ, or PTEN
(or combinations of alterations) and will study their effects on migration and apoptosis through a variety of in
vitro co-culture systems, ex vivo brain slice, and in vivo intracranial models. Successful completion of this work
will reveal a novel vascular-derived role for TGFβ, PDGFRβ, and PTEN in melanoma brain metastasis; this will
provide crucial insights and rationale for the development of therapeutics that disrupt cohesive interactions with
the brain endothelium and exploit the survival advantages of the perivascular brain niche. To complete my
goals, I have assembled a team of mentors with diverse but complementary fields of study to support my
proposal. These include Drs. Andrew Dudley (tumor microenvironment/angiogenesis), Craig Slingluff
(melanoma clinician-scientist), Camilo Fadul (brain metastasis clinician), James Mandell (neuropathologist),
Roger Abounader (PTEN biology and brain cancers), David Kashatus (collaborator for the development of
quantitative imaging platform of vessel co-option in the brain), and Hui Zong (advanced imaging and rodent
models of brain cancers).
项目总结/摘要
恶性黑色素瘤有异常高的倾向转移到大脑;在第四阶段的患者
40-50%的患者会出现临床上可检测到的颅内疾病,而尸检时脑转移可以被发现。
在70%以上的患者中发现。此外,黑色素瘤脑转移是预后不良的标志,
尽管全身靶向治疗和免疫治疗有所改善,但颅内控制仍然存在
