项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Protein-altering point mutations are uncommon in prostate cancer. The overall and protein-altering mutation rate of primary prostate cancer is among the lowest reported, approximately an order of magnitude lower than other cancers. Consistent with this, recurrent protein-altering mutations are rare in prostate cancer. Mutations in AR, PTEN, and AKT1 are among the most common; these occur rarely in primary prostate cancer, with reported frequency around 1%. The SPOP gene (Speckle-type POZ Protein) encodes for the substrate-recognition component of a Cullin3- based E3-ubiquitin ligase. Mutations in SPOP in prostate cancer were recently reported in two systematic sequencing studies. We have identified the presence of recurrent mutations in SPOP in 6-13% of human prostate cancers in multiple independent patient cohorts (Barbieri et al., Nature Genetics 2012). Recurrent missense mutations were found exclusively in the structurally-defined substrate-binding cleft of SPOP, and structural analysis suggests that these mutations will inactivate SPOP function by disrupting SPOP-substrate interaction. Further, we found that loss of SPOP function in prostate cell lines resulted in increased invasion, and altered gene expression; evidence of this expression signature was identified in primary tumors harboring SPOP mutation. Importantly, all SPOP mutations occurred in tumors that were negative for ERG rearrangement and PTEN deletion; these tumors displayed characteristic somatic copy number aberrations. Taken together, these findings support a distinct molecular class of prostate cancer. The overall goal of this proposal is to define the role of SPOP mutations in prostate cancer and elucidate the biology of SPOP mutant prostate cancer as a distinct molecular subclass. We propose three specific Aims that together will examine the substrate specificity of SPOP mutant proteins, test the common SPOP mutations in an in vivo model of prostate cancer, identify cooperating and mutually exclusive genetic events, and examine the impact of SPOP mutation on prostate cancer patients. We will use a combination of biochemical, structural biology, in vivo and molecular biology approaches to study these events in prostate cancer models systems, while also employing large cohorts of primary and metastatic human prostate cancer samples to integrate genetic and epidemiologic analyses. Furthermore, we have assembled an outstanding team of co- investigators with complementary skills and resources to execute these proposed studies.

描述（由申请人提供）：蛋白质改变点突变在前列腺癌中不常见。原发性前列腺癌的总体和蛋白质改变突变率是报道的最低的，大约比其他癌症低一个数量级。与此相一致，复发性蛋白质改变突变在前列腺癌中很少见。AR、PTEN和AKT 1的突变是最常见的;这些突变很少发生在原发性前列腺癌中，报道的频率约为1%。SPOP基因（斑点型POZ蛋白）编码基于Cullin 3的E3-泛素连接酶的底物识别组分。最近在两项系统测序研究中报道了前列腺癌中SPOP的突变。我们已经在多个独立的患者队列中鉴定了6-13%的人前列腺癌中SPOP中复发突变的存在（Barbieri等人，Nature Genetics 2012）。经常性的错义突变被发现专门在结构上定义的底物结合裂缝的SPOP，和结构分析表明，这些突变将破坏SPOP的功能，通过破坏SPOP-底物相互作用。此外，我们发现前列腺细胞系中SPOP功能的丧失导致侵袭增加，并改变基因表达;在携带SPOP突变的原发性肿瘤中鉴定了这种表达特征的证据。重要的是，所有SPOP突变都发生在ERG重排和PTEN缺失阴性的肿瘤中;这些肿瘤显示出特征性的体细胞拷贝数畸变。总而言之，这些发现支持了前列腺癌的不同分子类别。该提案的总体目标是确定SPOP突变在前列腺癌中的作用，并阐明SPOP突变前列腺癌作为一个独特的分子亚类的生物学。我们提出了三个具体的目标，一起将检查SPOP突变蛋白的底物特异性，在前列腺癌的体内模型中测试常见的SPOP突变，识别合作和互斥的遗传事件，并检查SPOP突变对前列腺癌患者的影响。我们将使用生物化学，结构生物学，体内和分子生物学方法的组合来研究前列腺癌模型系统中的这些事件，同时还采用大量的原发性和转移性人类前列腺癌样本来整合遗传学和流行病学分析。此外，我们还组建了一个优秀的合作研究者团队，他们具有互补的技能和资源来执行这些拟议的研究。
