评估其作为癌症治疗和预后的分子靶点的潜在适用性。Thod编码了一个

复杂. TREX是一个基因子集的有效转录延伸所必需的,它在物理上
将延伸与RNA加工和核输出的过程结合起来。Thod的酵母直向同源物
不是生存所必需的,但该基因的缺失会导致细胞寿命缩短,生长速率降低,
增加对DNA损伤的敏感性。类似地,耗尽pThod的人癌细胞表现出降低的
生长、活力和对遗传毒性化疗药物的抗性。相反,正常分化的细胞
相对不受pThod损失的影响。正常发育对Thod的生理需求
和癌症还有待于在多细胞生物体中进行体内评估。我们假设癌细胞

英文摘要
The long-term objectives of this application are to understand the normal function of the Thod gene and to
assess its potential suitability as a molecular target for cancer therapy and prognosis. Thod encodes a
protein (pThocI) that has recently been identified as a component of the evolutionarily conserved TREX
complex. TREX is required for the efficient transcriptional elongation of a subset of genes, and it physically
couples elongation to the processes of RNA processing and nuclear export. The yeast orthologue of Thod
is not essential for viability, but loss of this gene causes reduced cellular lifespan, reduced growth rate, and
increased sensitivity to DNA damage. Similarly, human cancer cells depleted of pThod exhibit reduced
growth, viability, and resistance to genotoxic chemotherapeutics. In contrast, normal differentiated cells are
relatively unaffected by loss of pThod. The physiological requirements for Thod in normal development
and cancer have yet to be assessed in vivo in a multicellular organism. We hypothesize that cancer cells
are uniquely dependent on Thod expression for growth and viability, particularly in the presence of
DNA damage. The general experimental approach proposed for testing the hypothesis is to measure the
effects of pThod loss on normal development and malignant transformation using genetically engineered
Thod alleles and autochthonous mouse models of breast cancer. Four specific aims are proposed: 1) Test
whether pThod depletion inhibits malignant transformation in vitro. 2) Determine if pThod
depletion affects normal mammary gland development. 3) Ascertain whether pThod depletion
inhibits breast carcinogenesis in vivo. 4) Assess whether pThod levels influence the response of
breast cancer to genotoxic therapy. Cancer cells accumulate genetic and epigenetic alterations that
endow them with unwanted proliferative potential, but also burden them with unique vulnerabilities. Thus it is
possible to identify genes that are required for. the viability of cancer cells, but not normal cells. Such
synthetic lethal genetic interactions identify potential molecular targets for therapy that promise to yield
greater specificity for cancer cells. Successful completion of the proposed study will provide proof of principle
that Thod is such a molecular target. Since pThod is a component of the newly discovered TREX complex,
it functions with a novel mechanism of action. Therapies and diagnostics based on targeting pThod are
expected to yield novel clinical responses, opportunities for novel combination therapies, and prognostic
information potentially independent of currently used criteria. The proposed research is highly relevant to
human health because new molecularly targeted therapies with greater specificity for cancer cells are clearly
needed. The experiments proposed will determine whether pThod is a promising target for the development
of new therapies and prognostic tests.
