DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (Cancer) SPORE will greatly strengthen and expand the pancreatic cancer research of the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center with an emphasis on translational research. Its themes of Gene Therapy, Death Receptor Targeted Immunotherapy, Growth Factor Mechanisms of chemoresistance, and mechanisms of Tumor Gene Suppression and Protein Degradation are all a critical priority. Four research projects involve interdisciplinary investigative teams including: 1.) "Cytotoxic Resistance: FGFR-1 Signaling and Reversion" which will explore the mechanism of FGFR-1 differential signal transduction and its resistance to cytotoxic insulin (CR) in cytotoxic (chemoradiation) resistance demonstrated in clinical pancreatic cancer. 2.) "Mechanisms of Tumor Suppressor DPC4/Smad4for Protein Instability in Pancreatic Cancer" which will evaluate the role of Jab-1 inhibition and Smad4/DPC4 protein degradation as potential inhibitor of pancreatic tumor growth. 3.) "Multimodality Targeted Therapy of Pancreatic Cancer - Use of Death Receptor (DR) Antibodies Alone and in Combination with Chemotherapy-Radiation Interactions" which will provide early translation for targeted immunotherapy to treat pancreatic cancer via anti DR5 death receptor antibody TR-8 (Anti-DR5). 4.) "Coordinated Virus - Adjunctive therapies (CVAT) for Pancreatic Cancer" which will be a fundamental development and selection of novel gene therapy vectors including early translation trial involving RAID supported conditionally replicative RGD-COX-2 adenoviral vector and a FDA approved HSV 207 oncolytic herpes vector. These projects will be supported by four Cores: 1.) Administrative/Biostatistics Core; 2.) Tissue Resource & Immunopathology Core; 3.) Clinical Core, and 4.) Animal Model and Imaging Core. In addition, the SPORE will have a Career Development Program directed at careers in Pancreatic Cancer Translational Research (5 awards) and a Developmental Research Program (4 pilot projects annually). The SPORE has strong institutional commitments and enthusiastic plans for interaction with other SPOREs including our own Brain, Breast, and Ovarian Cancer SPORE. This SPORE will increase scientific discoveries and rapidly translate findings into innovative clinical trials.

描述（由申请人提供）：这个胰腺癌（癌症）孢子将大大加强和扩大UAB综合癌症中心的胰腺癌研究，重点是转化研究。其主题基因治疗，死亡受体靶向免疫治疗，生长因子耐药性机制，肿瘤基因抑制和蛋白质降解机制都是一个关键的优先事项。四个研究项目涉及跨学科的调查团队，包括：1。“细胞毒抗性：FGFR-1信号转导和逆转”，将探讨FGFR-1差异信号转导机制及其对临床胰腺癌细胞毒性（放化疗）抵抗中细胞毒性胰岛素（CR）的抵抗。2.）的情况。“胰腺癌中蛋白质不稳定性的肿瘤抑制剂DPC 4/Smad 4的机制”，将评估Jab-1抑制和Smad 4/DPC 4蛋白降解作为胰腺肿瘤生长的潜在抑制剂的作用。3.）第三章“Multimodality Targeting Therapy of Pancreatic Cancer - Use of Death Receptor（DR）Antibodies Alone and in Combination with Chemotherapy-Radiation Interactions”，其将为通过抗DR 5死亡受体抗体TR-8（抗DR 5）治疗胰腺癌的靶向免疫疗法提供早期翻译。4.）“Coordinated Virus - Adjunctive Therapies（CVAT）for Pancreatic Cancer”，其将是新型基因治疗载体的基本开发和选择，包括涉及RAID支持的条件复制型RGD-COX-2腺病毒载体和FDA批准的HSV 207溶瘤疱疹载体的早期翻译试验。 这些项目将得到四个核心的支持： 1.）的人。行政/生物统计核心; 2.）组织资源和免疫病理学核心; 3.）临床核心，和4.） 动物模型和成像核心。此外，SPORE将有一个针对胰腺癌转化研究职业的职业发展计划（5个奖项）和一个发展研究计划（每年4个试点项目）。该孢子有强大的机构承诺和热情的计划，与其他孢子，包括我们自己的脑，乳腺癌和卵巢癌孢子互动。这个孢子将增加科学发现，并迅速将发现转化为创新的临床试验。
