项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S., and novel therapeutics are of great need. Centrosomes are cellular microtubule organizing centers that are important for the faithful division of chromosomes during mitosis and are commonly dysregulated in cancer. Most human tumors have cells with centrosome amplification, or an abnormally elevated number of centrosomes. As a result of centrosome amplification, cancer cells can undergo asymmetric cell division, leading to chromosomal instability and aneuploidy, which is a source of genetic diversity that allows cancer to evolve and evade therapies. However, it is unclear how centrosome amplification arises, how it affects patient outcomes, and how it affects migration and metastatic potential. The overarching goal of this proposed research is to understand how centrosomes are dysregulated in cancer and to investigate the subsequent cellular and clinical consequences. The research proposed herein will enhance our knowledge of centrosome amplification in cancer, especially cancer cell division and migration, and potentially identify novel ways to target cancer cells with centrosome amplification.

项目摘要 /摘要癌症是美国第二大死亡原因，新型治疗剂非常需要。中心体是细胞微管组织中心，对忠实分裂很重要有丝分裂过程中的染色体，通常在癌症中失调。大多数人类肿瘤都有细胞中心体扩增或异常增加的中心体数量。由于中心体放大，癌细胞会经历不对称的细胞分裂，导致染色体不稳定性和非整倍性，它是遗传多样性的来源，允许癌症进化和逃避疗法。但是，它尚不清楚中心体放大是如何产生的，如何影响患者的结果以及如何影响迁移和转移潜力。这项拟议的研究的总体目标是了解癌症中的中心体失调并研究随后的细胞和临床后果。本文提出的研究将增强我们对癌症中心体扩增的了解，尤其是癌细胞分裂和迁移，并有可能确定用中心体扩增靶向癌细胞的新型方法。
