项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): My long-term goal is to become an independently-funded academic clinician-scientist, performing translational research to improve outcomes for women with gynecologic malignancies. As an MD/PhD, I have laboratory experience in molecular and cellular biology using human gynecologic cancer cell lines in vitro. I seek a K23 Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award to expand my skills in translational clinical trials and obtain a Masters of Science degree in Clinical Research (MSCR). This multi- disciplinary K23 proposal uses established cancer cell lines and primary cultures from endometrial tumors, gene expression profiling, and a clinical trial, to assess metformin as a drug for endometrial cancer therapy. Endometrial cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women in the United States, and the death rate from this disease has increased by 227% over the past ten years. Obesity and diabetes are linked to higher recurrence rates and death in the common form of endometrial cancer (type I, or endometriod). I hypothesize that metformin will act as an mTOR inhibitor and be an effective chemotherapeutic agent for a disease so impacted by obesity and insulin resistance. To understand metformin's anti-tumorigenic potential, I will assess the effects of metformin on proliferation, apoptosis and expression of key targets of metformin cell signaling in four endometrial cancer cell lines and in primary cultures of human endometrial cancer cells. In parallel, I will evaluate the biology of endometrial cancer in obese and non-obese women through gene expression profiling to identify appropriate targeted therapies to pair with metformin, and I will assess synergy between these agents and metformin in vitro. Lastly, I will determine the effect of metformin on the endometrium of obese and diabetic women with endometrial cancer by comparing each patient's endometrial biopsy with their hysterectomy specimen following 2-4 weeks of treatment with metformin. The effect of metformin on proliferation, apoptosis and downstream signaling pathways will be explored in tissue specimens and correlated to our findings with cultured endometrial cancer cells in vitro. Therapy during this preoperative window allows us to evaluate safely the biologic effect of metformin on human endometrial cancer in vivo. The training, curriculum, mentoring and 75% protected research time provided by the K23 award will enable me to establish myself as a translational researcher and clinical trialist. Through the K23 award, I will acquire the skills and a body of work to compete successfully for peer-reviewed grant support and ultimately, my first R01. My overall hope is to see the results of my bench science lead to clinical trials and the development of therapies that have a significant impact on the lives of women battling gynecologic cancers.

描述（由申请人提供）：我的长期目标是成为一名独立资助的学术临床医生-科学家，进行转化研究，以改善妇科恶性肿瘤女性的结局。作为一名MD/PhD，我在体外使用人类妇科癌细胞系的分子和细胞生物学方面有实验室经验。我寻求K23指导以患者为导向的研究职业发展奖，以扩大我在转化临床试验中的技能，并获得临床研究理学硕士学位（MSCR）。这项多学科的K23提案使用来自子宫内膜肿瘤的已建立的癌细胞系和原代培养物、基因表达谱分析和临床试验来评估二甲双胍作为子宫内膜癌治疗药物。子宫内膜癌是美国女性中第四大常见癌症，在过去十年中，这种疾病的死亡率增加了227%。肥胖和糖尿病与常见形式的子宫内膜癌（I型或子宫内膜癌）的较高复发率和死亡率有关。我假设二甲双胍将作为mTOR抑制剂，并成为受肥胖和胰岛素抵抗影响的疾病的有效化疗药物。为了了解二甲双胍的抗肿瘤潜力，我将评估二甲双胍对四种子宫内膜癌细胞系和人子宫内膜癌细胞原代培养物中二甲双胍细胞信号传导关键靶点的增殖、凋亡和表达的影响。同时，我将通过基因表达谱评估肥胖和非肥胖妇女子宫内膜癌的生物学，以确定与二甲双胍配对的适当靶向治疗，我将评估这些药物与二甲双胍之间的体外协同作用。最后，我将通过比较每例患者接受二甲双胍治疗2-4周后的子宫内膜活检和子宫切除术标本，确定二甲双胍对患有子宫内膜癌的肥胖和糖尿病女性子宫内膜的影响。二甲双胍对增殖、凋亡和下游信号通路的影响将在组织标本中进行探索，并与我们在体外培养的子宫内膜癌细胞中的发现相关。在此术前窗口期的治疗使我们能够安全地评估二甲双胍对人子宫内膜癌的体内生物学效应。 K23奖提供的培训，课程，指导和75%受保护的研究时间将使我能够成为一名翻译研究员和临床试验者。通过K23奖，我将获得的技能和工作机构，以成功地竞争同行评审的赠款支持，并最终，我的第一个R 01。我的总体希望是看到我的实验室科学的结果导致临床试验和治疗的发展，对妇女的生活有重大影响的战斗妇科癌症。
