DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant tumor in children and young adults. Despite the use of surgery and multi-drug chemotherapy, the survival rate of osteosarcoma patients has not improved in the past three decades. Personalized medicine holds the promise of improving the treatment of cancer patients; however, it relies on an accurate way to predict clinical risks before treatment initiation. In osteosarcoma, the only prognostic factor at the time of diagnosis is the detection of metastasis by conventional low-sensitive imaging methods. We reason that the development of a molecular prognostic biomarker will facilitate personalized medicine, so that an alternative or a targeted therapy can be used to improve the outcome of the high-risk patients, while the low-risk patients would be spared from unnecessary chemotherapy. A vast amount of literature has shown that the tumor suppressor p27 can be used to predict prognosis in various adult cancers, such as breast carcinomas, acute myelogenous leukemia, pancreatic cancer and ovarian carcinomas. Our laboratory has demonstrated that p27 is mislocalized in metastatic osteosarcoma cell lines and frequently in human osteosarcoma cases. Functional studies have further shown that cytoplasmic p27 can promote the motility and invasiveness of osteosarcoma cells. In addition, we have demonstrated that the p27 autoantibody is elevated in metastatic osteosarcoma patients using high-density protein arrays. Based on these observations, we hypothesize that p27, which is a prognostic biomarker in adult cancers, can be used to prognosticate pediatric osteosarcoma. To test this hypothesis, we propose four Specific Aims. First, we will correlate the protein expression and subcellular localization of p27 with metastasis and survival information in two series of osteosarcoma cases. Second, we will integrate the p27 results with other related prognostic biomarkers to test if we can increase the prognostic significance of the detection. Third, we will develop a novel Luminex-based assay for the p27 autoantibody to validate if it correlates with the outcomes of osteosarcoma patients using pre-treatment serum samples collected from the Children's Oncology Group. Lastly, we will perform genomic and targeted proteomic analyses of a panel of p27 mutants that have been generated in our laboratory to identify novel p27-related biomarkers. These candidate biomarkers will be validated using the data generated from our SPECS and TARGET consortia. All the biomarker results will be compared with the existing prognostic factor, i.e. metastasis, to test the clinical utility of the biomarkers. The long-term goal of this study is to develop a biomarker approach for the prognostication of osteosarcoma patients at the time of diagnosis that is more accurate than the conventional approaches. It would facilitate the development of personalized medicine and, hence, improve the survival of osteosarcoma patients. Completion of the proposed study is a critical step to achieve this goal. Furthermore, since p27 has been implicated in other cancers, the results obtained from this study will have a larger impact on the field of cancer biomarkers.

描述(申请人提供)：骨肉瘤是儿童和年轻人最常见的恶性肿瘤。尽管使用了手术和多药化疗，但骨肉瘤患者的存活率在过去30年里并没有提高。个性化医疗有望改善癌症患者的治疗；然而，它依赖于在治疗开始之前准确预测临床风险的方法。在骨肉瘤中，诊断时唯一的预后因素是用传统的低灵敏度成像方法检测转移。我们的理由是，分子预后生物标记物的开发将促进个性化药物的使用，从而可以使用替代或靶向治疗来改善高危患者的预后，而低危患者将免于不必要的化疗。大量文献表明，抑癌基因p27可用于预测多种成人癌症的预后，如乳腺癌、急性髓系白血病、胰腺癌和卵巢癌。我们的实验室已经证明，p27在转移性骨肉瘤细胞系中存在错误定位，在人类骨肉瘤病例中也经常存在。功能研究进一步表明，胞质p27可以促进骨肉瘤细胞的运动和侵袭。此外，我们还使用高密度蛋白阵列证明了p27自身抗体在转移性骨肉瘤患者中升高。基于这些观察，我们假设p27是成人癌症的预后生物标志物，可以用来预测儿童骨肉瘤。为了检验这一假设，我们提出了四个具体目标。首先，我们将在两个系列的骨肉瘤病例中将p27的蛋白表达和亚细胞定位与转移和生存信息相关联。其次，我们将把p27结果与其他相关的预后生物标志物结合起来，以测试我们是否可以增加检测的预后意义。第三，我们将开发一种新的基于Luminex的p27自身抗体检测方法，以验证它是否与骨肉瘤患者的结果相关，使用从儿童肿瘤组收集的治疗前血清样本。最后，我们将对我们实验室产生的一组p27突变体进行基因组和靶向蛋白质组分析，以确定与p27相关的新生物标记物。这些候选生物标记物将使用我们的规范和目标财团产生的数据进行验证。所有的生物标志物结果将与现有的预后因素，即转移，进行比较，以检验临床 生物标志物的效用。这项研究的长期目标是开发一种在诊断时预测骨肉瘤患者的生物标记物方法，该方法比传统方法更准确。这将促进个性化医学的发展，从而提高骨肉瘤患者的生存。完成拟议的研究是实现这一目标的关键一步。此外，由于p27已经与其他癌症有关，本研究的结果将对癌症生物标记物领域产生更大的影响。
