项目摘要

Project Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most lethal human cancers. Standard GBM treatments, such as radiation (RT) and temozolomide (TMZ), exhibit poor efficacy with a lack of a durable response. These agents promote oxidative stress in cancer cells, which is a known metabolic liability of GBM. However, the efficacy of these treatments is limited by neurotoxicity and upregulation of tumor escape pathways that detoxify reactive oxygen species. There is an urgent need for new pharmacological agents that effectively target the redox stress pathway in GBM cells while sparing adjacent normal tissue. My long-term goal is to become an independent physician-scientist neuro-oncologist focused on improving GBM therapy. In this proposal, I use my discovery of a cysteine susceptibility pathway in glioma, whereby cysteine-promoting compounds induce glucose dependence, mitochondrial toxicity, and H2O2 production, to define the mechanism and functional relevance of this pathway in pre-clinical models. I will test the central hypothesis that high levels of intracellular cysteine induce glucose dependence in glioma, and the combination of cysteine compounds with ROS-promoting treatments is an effective strategy to improve survival in mouse models of GBM. I will identify the metabolic flux pathways altered by cysteine in glioma (Aim 1a) and determine the role of mitochondrial electron transport chain flux (Aim 1b) and hypoxia and glycolytic flux (Aim 1c) in contributing to cysteine-mediated glucose dependence. Using mouse models of GBM, I will test the efficacy of cysteine compounds in combination with ROS-promoting interventions (RT, TMZ, and the glucose-lowering ketogenic diet) on GBM metabolism, growth, and survival, using 18F-fluoropropyl-homocysteine positron emission tomography as a biomarker for cysteine metabolism (Aim 2a). I will determine the effects of H2O2 modulation on cytotoxicity of cysteine compounds and ROS-promoting interventions (Aim 2b) in vivo. These aims will create a new paradigm that uses two synergistic metabolic therapies that can be rapidly translated into early-phase clinical trials in GBM. I am an Assistant Professor in Neurology within the Division of Neuro-Oncology at Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM), and I have outlined a 5-year plan that expands on my background studying GBM metabolism. I have an outstanding mentor, Dr. Lewis Cantley, who is an expert in tumor metabolism and has enabled translation of his work and mentees’ work to clinical development. My career advisory committee includes Drs. Lewis Cantley (primary mentor), Navdeep Chandel, Pedro Lowenstein, Naga Vara Kishore Pillarsetty, Howard Fine, and Matthew Fink. They are internationally recognized experts in science and medicine and will provide mentorship and support to attain scientific independence. I will also have unparalleled institutional support from WCM, which is at the forefront of precision medicine in cancer and is heavily invested in career development for junior physician-scientists. This research and training environment will enable me to achieve my goals of securing NIH R01 funding in the future. 1
