DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The burden of the AIDS epidemic is highest in Africa where resources are limited for the treatment of HIV and for HIV-associated diseases. And as the AIDS epidemic continues to grow in Africa, AIDS-related malignancies are also increasing including AIDS-related Burkitt's lymphoma (BL). The current treatment paradigm relies on cytotoxic drugs given at the maximum tolerated dose. However, in the resource-constrained setting, there is a lack of supportive care available to patients undergoing these intensive combination chemotherapy regimens resulting in unacceptably high mortality rates. Alternative approaches to the treatment of BL and other AIDS-related non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are needed in resource-poor countries. A new alternative approach utilizes standard chemotherapeutic drugs but delivers them at a metronomic (chronic, continuous and low-dose) schedule. The metronomic scheduling of cytotoxic drugs is hypothesized to inhibit the development of endothelial cells within the tumor and block angiogenesis. Because of the lower doses of drugs, there is reduced myelosuppression and associated toxicities. The objectives of this application are to develop a preclinical model of AIDS- associated BL to test this new therapeutic approach and to test metronomic therapy in this model. We will develop a lentiviral vector to transduce primary AIDS-BL cell lines with luciferase to monitor tumor growth and response to treatment by bioluminescent imaging. The use of primary AIDS-BL lines engrafted into NOD/SCID mice intraperitoneally will generate an orthotopic model of BL that more closely resembles human clinical disease. Using this preclinical model of AIDS-BL, we will determine whether targeting of angiogenesis by adopting a metronomic schedule of chemotherapeutic drugs can induce remission and reduce toxicity. Our clinical hypothesis is that low-doses of combinations of cytotoxic agents given more frequently will inhibit the development of endothelial cells in primary AIDS-BL cell lines engrafted in NOD/SCID mice and result in long-lasting tumor regression. Our long-term goal is to develop mechanism-based therapies for the treatment of BL and other AIDS-related non-Hodgkin's lymphomas that address the unique needs in resource poor settings where supportive care is limited. The successful completion of this research will allow us to move forward to test metronomic dosing of cytotoxic drugs in the clinic. PROJECT NARRATIVE: The goal of the proposed research is to develop a preclinical model to test new chemotherapies for AIDS-associated lymphomas.

描述（由申请人提供）：艾滋病流行病的负担在非洲最高，那里用于治疗艾滋病毒和艾滋病毒相关疾病的资源有限。随着艾滋病疫情在非洲的持续增长，与艾滋病相关的恶性肿瘤也在增加，包括与艾滋病相关的伯基特淋巴瘤（BL）。目前的治疗模式依赖于以最大耐受剂量给予的细胞毒性药物。然而，在资源有限的情况下，缺乏对接受这些强化联合化疗方案的患者的支持性护理，导致不可接受的高死亡率。在资源贫乏的国家，需要治疗BL和其他艾滋病相关非霍奇金淋巴瘤的替代方法。一种新的替代方法利用标准的化疗药物，但提供他们在节拍（慢性，连续和低剂量）的时间表。细胞毒性药物的节拍调度被假设为抑制肿瘤内内皮细胞的发育并阻断血管生成。由于药物剂量较低，骨髓抑制和相关毒性减少。本申请的目的是开发AIDS相关BL的临床前模型，以测试这种新的治疗方法，并在该模型中测试节拍疗法。我们将开发一种慢病毒载体，用荧光素酶转染原代AIDS-BL细胞系，通过生物发光成像监测肿瘤生长和对治疗的反应。将原代AIDS-BL系腹膜内移植入NOD/SCID小鼠将产生更接近于人类临床疾病的BL原位模型。使用这种AIDS-BL的临床前模型，我们将确定是否通过采用化疗药物的节拍时间表靶向血管生成可以诱导缓解并降低毒性。我们的临床假设是，更频繁地给予低剂量的细胞毒性药物组合将抑制移植到NOD/SCID小鼠中的原代AIDS-BL细胞系中内皮细胞的发育，并导致持久的肿瘤消退。我们的长期目标是开发治疗BL和其他艾滋病相关非霍奇金淋巴瘤的机制为基础的疗法，以满足资源匮乏的环境中支持性护理有限的独特需求。这项研究的成功完成将使我们能够在临床上测试细胞毒性药物的节拍给药。项目简介：这项研究的目的是开发一种临床前模型来测试艾滋病相关淋巴瘤的新化疗方法。
