PROJECT SUMMARY Aneuploidy, the gain or loss of whole chromosomes or chromosome arms, is a near-universal feature of cancer. However, the role of aneuploidy in tumor pathogenesis remains an unanswered question in cancer biology. Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), whether in the lung, esophagus or head and neck, are characterized by specific patterns of aneuploidy. In many SCCs, unlike other cancer types, there are fewer oncogenic mutations identified resulting in few targeted therapies available for patients. However, SCCs are characterized by a distinct aneuploidy profile. In particular, chromosome arm 3p is lost in almost 80% of lung SCCs, with gain of chromosome arm 3q the next most frequent event in this cancer type. Our preliminary data suggest that these two aneuploidy events play an important role in oncogenesis in this tumor type and may be a useful disease target. The goal of this proposal is to understand the phenotypic consequences of chromosome 3 arm aneuploidies. We have previously developed a genome engineering approach to delete chromosome arm 3p in human lung epithelial cells. With this approach, we also isolated isogenic cell lines with chromosome 3q gain. Using this model system, here we will explore three pathways affected by these aneuploidy events: (1) lipid and PI3K signaling in cells with chromosome 3q gain, (2) hypoxia response and VHL haploinsufficiency in cells with chromosome 3p deletion, and (3) squamous differentiation and tumorigenesis. By determining the effect of chromosome 3p deletion and chromosome 3q gain in lung cells, we will gain insights into how a patient-specific aneuploidy contributes to tumor development. These studies may also identify novel therapeutic targets for treatment of SCCs.

项目摘要 非整倍性，即整个染色体或染色体臂的获得或丢失，是癌症的一个几乎普遍的特征。 然而，非整倍体在肿瘤发病机制中的作用仍然是癌症生物学中未回答的问题。 鳞状细胞癌（SCC），无论是肺、食道还是头颈部，其特征是 非整倍体的特定模式。在许多SCC中，与其他癌症类型不同， 这导致很少有靶向治疗可用于患者。然而，SCC的特征在于 非整倍体谱。特别是，染色体臂3 p在几乎80%的肺SCC中丢失， 染色体臂3q是这种癌症类型中下一个最常见的事件。我们的初步数据表明， 两个非整倍体事件在这种肿瘤类型的肿瘤发生中起重要作用， 目标 这个建议的目的是了解3号染色体臂非整倍性的表型后果。 我们以前已经开发了一种基因组工程方法来删除人肺中的染色体臂3 p 上皮细胞通过这种方法，我们还分离出了具有染色体3q增益的等基因细胞系。使用此 模型系统，在这里我们将探讨这些非整倍体事件影响的三个途径：（1）脂质和PI 3 K （2）具有染色体3q增益的细胞中的缺氧反应和VHL单倍不足， 染色体3 p缺失;（3）鳞状细胞分化和肿瘤发生。通过确定 肺细胞中染色体3 p缺失和染色体3q获得，我们将深入了解患者特异性 非整倍性有助于肿瘤的发展。这些研究还可以确定新的治疗靶点， SCC的治疗。
