项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Proteasome inhibition in mammalian cells results in transcriptional upregulation of proteasome genes, thereby providing the cell with a homeostatic control mechanism to maintain proteasome levels. Preliminary studies indicated that this response was mediated by the transcription factor Nrf1 (also called Nfe2l1) and that knockdown of this factor sensitized cancer cells to proteasome inhibitor treatments. The overall goal of the current proposal is to further understand the mechanism behind this proteasome homeostatic pathway and to evaluate if inhibition of this pathway could be a viable anti-cancer strategy in vivo, especially when used in conjunction with proteasome inhibitors. Specific Aims during the mentored phase are designed to understand the mechanism of Nrf1 activation following proteasome inhibition and to evaluate the utility of depleting Nrf1 in the treatment of mouse xenograft tumors with covalent proteasome inhibitors. Specific Aims during the independent phase are designed to understand the role of p97/VCP and its co-factors in Nrf1 activation and to identify novel chemical inhibitors of the Nrf1-mediated proteasome recovery pathway. The proposed work has the potential to shed light on the functioning of the proteasome recovery pathway and also suggest strategies for the development of novel anti-cancer therapeutics that target the ubiquitin- proteasome system.

描述（由申请人提供）：哺乳动物细胞中的蛋白酶体抑制作用会导致蛋白酶体基因的转录上调，从而为细胞提供稳态控制机制以维持蛋白酶体水平。初步研究表明，该反应是由转录因子NRF1（也称为NFE2L1）介导的，并且该因子敲低促使癌细胞对蛋白酶体抑制剂治疗。当前建议的总体目标是进一步了解这种蛋白酶体稳态途径背后的机制，并评估该途径的抑制是否可能是体内可行的抗癌策略，尤其是与蛋白酶体抑制剂一起使用时。在指导阶段的特定目的旨在了解蛋白酶体抑制后NRF1激活的机制，并评估耗尽NRF1在治疗用共价蛋白酶体抑制剂治疗小鼠异种移植肿瘤方面的实用性。在独立阶段的特定目的旨在了解p97/vcp及其在NRF1激活中的作用，并鉴定NRF1介导的蛋白酶体恢复途径的新型化学抑制剂。拟议的工作有可能阐明蛋白酶体恢复途径的功能，并提出针对针对泛素蛋白酶体系统的新型抗癌疗法的发展策略。
