项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs), particularly those harboring certain EGFR or K-RAS mutations, are often unresponsive to molecularly targeted agents and have a poor prognosis. Mucin 1 (MUC1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is overexpressed in most NSCLCs. However, it is not known if MUC1 is of importance to NSCLC cell growth and survival. In this regard, there are no available genetically-engineered mouse models to study MUC1 involvement in NSCLC initiation, progression or maintenance. MUC1 consists of two subunits~ an N-terminal extracellular mucin subunit (MUC1-N) and a C- terminal oncogenic transmembrane subunit (MUC1-C). The MUC1-C cytoplasmic domain functions as a substrate for EGFR and MET, and interacts with effectors, such as PI3K, that have been linked to NSCLC development. Overexpression of MUC1-C induces transformation and associated gene signatures that are predictive of decreased disease-free and overall survival in NSCLC patients. Moreover, inhibition of the MUC1-C subunit in NSCLC cells is associated with downregulation of the PI3K->AKT pathway and loss of survival. The overall objective of the proposed work is to define the functional role of MUC1-C in NSCLC. Our hypothesis is that MUC1-C contributes to the pathogenesis of NSCLC and that MUC1-C function is essential for survival of NSCLC cells with EGFR and K-RAS mutations. The proposed work will address this hypothesis in a new MUC1-C-driven mouse model of NSCLC and through the use of recently developed MUC1-C inhibitors. The theoretical concept that MUC1-C is a target for the treatment of NSCLC is novel and could shift current research and clinical paradigms. The Specific Aims are: (1) To define involvement of MUC1-C in development of NSCLC in mouse models~ (2) To assess the role of MUC1-C in NSCLC with EGFR mutations~ (3) To determine whether MUC1-C is of importance to development of K-RAS mutant NSCLC~ and (4) To identify how MUC1-C contributes to NSCLC cell survival.

描述（由申请人提供）：非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC），特别是携带某些EGFR或K-RAS突变的NSCLC，通常对分子靶向药物无反应，预后不良。粘蛋白1（MUC 1）是一种跨膜糖蛋白，在大多数NSCLC中过表达。然而，目前尚不清楚MUC 1是否对NSCLC细胞的生长和存活具有重要意义。在这方面，没有可用的基因工程小鼠模型来研究MUC 1参与NSCLC的发生、进展或维持。 MUC 1由两个亚基组成--N末端细胞外粘蛋白亚基（MUC 1-N）和C末端致癌跨膜亚基（MUC 1-C）。 MUC 1-C胞质结构域作为EGFR和MET的底物发挥作用，并与与NSCLC发展相关的效应物（如PI 3 K）相互作用。 MUC 1-C过表达诱导转化和相关基因特征，可预测NSCLC患者的无病生存期和总生存期降低。此外，NSCLC细胞中MUC 1-C亚基的抑制与PI 3 K->AKT途径的下调和存活率的丧失相关。拟议工作的总体目标是确定MUC 1-C在NSCLC中的功能作用。我们的假设是MUC 1-C有助于NSCLC的发病机制，并且MUC 1-C功能对于EGFR和K-RAS突变的NSCLC细胞的存活至关重要。拟议的工作将在新的MUC 1-C驱动的NSCLC小鼠模型中并通过使用最近开发的MUC 1-C抑制剂来解决这一假设。 MUC 1-C作为NSCLC治疗靶点的理论概念是新颖的，可能会改变当前的研究和临床模式。具体目标是：（1）在小鼠模型中明确MUC 1-C在NSCLC发生发展中的作用;（2）评估MUC 1-C在EGFR突变的NSCLC中的作用;（3）确定MUC 1-C是否在K-RAS突变的NSCLC发生发展中起重要作用;（4）确定MUC 1-C如何促进NSCLC细胞存活。
