项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We have found that Akt signaling contributes to some of the more notable abnormalities in tumor vascular stroma. Those vascular abnormalities include the propensity for excessive vascular permeability leading to tissue edema and sluggish blood flow, extravasation of fibrin and other matrix proteins that alter the extracellular microenvironment, and the trafficking of inflammatory cells and tumor cells in and out of the tumor-associated vasculature. In addition, we also showed that rapamycin is an effective inhibitor of Akt signaling in the tumor stroma. This grant application is designed to study rapamycin's effects on the tumor stroma and to determine the impact of the anti-stromal effects of rapamycin on its anti-tumor efficacy. Both vascular and nonvascular stroma will be studied. Aim 1 is focused on identification of the vessel and vascular molecular targets that mediate rapamycin's anti-angiogenic efficacy. Aim 2 is designed to test the importance of rapamycin stromal targets in cancer inhibition. Aim 3 investigates rapamycin inhibition tumor cell trafficking across the endothelium and metastasis. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project is designed to dissect the Akt pathway inhibitor, rapamycin, in the tumor microenvironment. Rapamycin is one the most specific small molecule inhibitors inc clinical use and inhibits mTOR with subsequent feedback onto upstream signaling that results from mTOR's function as an Akt kinase. While in clinical trials for cancer, recent data suggests that it functions more effectively when administered in a metronomic fashion, and our data suggests that it is an effective inhibitor of the tumor vasculature. This application proposes to dissect the stromal cellular targets of rapamycin in breast cancer, and investigate the overall impact of those targets on rapamycin's anti tumor efficacy.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们发现Akt信号传导有助于肿瘤血管基质中一些更显著的异常。这些血管异常包括导致组织水肿和血流缓慢的过度血管渗透性的倾向，改变细胞外微环境的纤维蛋白和其他基质蛋白的外渗，以及炎症细胞和肿瘤细胞进出肿瘤相关脉管系统的运输。此外，我们还发现雷帕霉素是肿瘤间质中Akt信号传导的有效抑制剂。该基金申请旨在研究雷帕霉素对肿瘤间质的影响，并确定雷帕霉素的抗间质效应对其抗肿瘤疗效的影响。将研究血管和非血管间质。目的1是确定介导雷帕霉素抗血管生成作用的血管和血管分子靶点。目的2旨在测试雷帕霉素基质靶点在癌症抑制中的重要性。目的3研究雷帕霉素对肿瘤细胞跨内皮运输和转移的抑制作用。公共卫生相关性：该项目旨在剖析肿瘤微环境中的Akt通路抑制剂雷帕霉素。雷帕霉素是临床上最具特异性的小分子抑制剂之一，其抑制mTOR并随后反馈到上游信号传导上，该上游信号传导是由mTOR作为Akt激酶的功能产生的。而在癌症的临床试验中，最近的数据表明，当以节拍方式给药时，它的功能更有效，我们的数据表明，它是肿瘤血管的有效抑制剂。本申请提出解剖雷帕霉素在乳腺癌中的基质细胞靶点，并研究这些靶点对雷帕霉素抗肿瘤功效的总体影响。
