DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal outlines a career development plan to help Dr. Erin Giles complete her postdoctoral training and establish an independent research program focused on obesity and postmenopausal breast cancer. Her mentored training will be conducted in a multidisciplinary group of scientists with research expertise in breast cancer, metabolism, menopause, and immunology. Her mentors, Drs. MacLean and Schedin, are well-funded scientists with established collaborations focused on obesity and postmenopausal breast cancer. Their extensive experience with trainees will be complemented by those in her advisory team, Drs. Van Pelt, Thor, Anderson, and Regensteiner. Collectively, this team will provide an outstanding training environment that will allow her to fill critical gaps in her toolbox and knowledge base that will enhance her ability to study inflammation and the tumor microenvironment, and provide her with the ability to conduct clinical research studies. During the training phase of this award, she will strengthen her scholarly activities, establish important collaborations, and acquire critical data and samples that will ensure her successful transition.to independence Rationale: Despite the known link between obesity and postmenopausal breast cancer, the mechanisms underlying this association are not completely understood. The working hypothesis that will be examined in this proposal is that adipose tissue inflammation mediates the adverse effects of obesity on breast cancer after menopause and that this effect involves the general recruitment of macrophages to adipose tissues by obesity and the promotion of an M2 phenotype by tumors. Design: Dr. Giles will utilize bone derived macrophages, adipose tissues, and human breast cancer cells in co- culture systems to characterize the interactions that create a tumor promoting environment. She will employ a well-established preclinical model to determine whether anti-inflammatory agents (ibuprofen) and interventions (caloric restriction or exercise) can inhibit the inflammatory response and tumor promotion that occurs with the loss of ovarian function. She will extend these studies with a medically-induced model of menopause to determine if exercise has similar effects in humans. The cumulative effect of this carefully developed training and research program will: 1) further our understanding of the role of inflammation in promoting tumor growth in the obese; 2) result in the submission of a highly competitive R01; and 3) launch the PI's independent research career bridging the fields of breast cancer, metabolism, and inflammation. Relevance: Untangling the interrelationship between obesity, menopause, weight gain and inflammation, and their combined effects on tumor progression, could facilitate design of novel therapies for treatment/prevention of cancer. Use of anti-inflammatory agents, in conjunction with standard obesity treatments like as caloric restriction or exercise, has the potential to reduce obesity-associated risk and improve clinical outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案概述了职业发展计划，以帮助Erin Giles博士完成博士后培训，并建立一个专注于肥胖和绝经后乳腺癌的独立研究项目。她的指导培训将在一个多学科的科学家小组中进行，该小组具有乳腺癌，代谢，更年期和免疫学方面的研究专长。她的导师麦克莱恩博士和舍丁博士都是资金雄厚的科学家，他们的合作重点是肥胖和绝经后乳腺癌。他们与学员的广泛经验将得到她的顾问团队，货车佩尔特，托尔，安德森和雷根施泰纳博士的补充。总的来说，这个团队将提供一个出色的培训环境，使她能够填补她的工具箱和知识库中的关键空白，这将提高她研究炎症和肿瘤微环境的能力，并为她提供进行临床研究的能力。在这个奖项的培训阶段，她将加强她的学术活动，建立重要的 合作，并获得关键数据和样本，这将确保她的成功transition.to 独立性理由：尽管肥胖和绝经后乳腺癌之间存在已知的联系，但这种联系的机制尚未完全了解。在本提案中将检验的工作假设是，脂肪组织炎症介导了肥胖对绝经后乳腺癌的不良影响，并且这种影响涉及肥胖对脂肪组织的巨噬细胞的一般招募和肿瘤对M2表型的促进。设计图：Giles博士将在共培养系统中利用骨源性巨噬细胞、脂肪组织和人乳腺癌细胞来表征创造肿瘤促进环境的相互作用。她将采用一个成熟的临床前模型来确定抗炎药（布洛芬）和干预措施（热量限制或运动）是否可以抑制卵巢功能丧失时发生的炎症反应和肿瘤促进。她将用医学诱导的更年期模型来扩展这些研究，以确定运动是否对人类有类似的影响。这一精心开发的培训和研究计划的累积效应将：1）进一步了解炎症在促进肥胖者肿瘤生长中的作用; 2）导致提交极具竞争力的R 01; 3）启动PI的独立研究职业生涯桥接乳腺癌，代谢和炎症领域。相关性：解开肥胖、绝经、体重增加和炎症之间的相互关系，以及它们对肿瘤进展的综合影响，可以促进治疗/预防癌症的新疗法的设计。使用抗炎药，结合标准的肥胖治疗，如热量限制或运动，有可能降低肥胖相关的风险，改善临床结果。
