项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Prostate cancer is the leading cause of male cancer-related deaths in the United States (about 32,000 this year) and the leading diagnosed cancer in American men (about 241,000 new cases in 2012). The number of new prostate cancer diagnoses has risen recently. These alarming statistics require special attention from clinicians, healthcare providers, scientific communities, and funding agencies. Different genetic changes have been identified to cause prostate cancer in men. One of the common mechanisms of tumor formation in cancer patients is inactivation of one or more so- called tumor suppressor genes. Inactivation of tumor suppressor genes has devastating consequences on the regulation of cell growth within a specific tissue and results in tumor development. Our group has identified one such tumor suppressor gene, Abi1/Hssh3bp1, and has developed a novel conditional knockout mouse model to study the role of this gene in development of prostate cancer. Prostate-specific disruption of the Abi1/Hssh3bp1 gene leads to development of prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN). Given our published data indicating that the observed prostate pathology in Abi1 KO mice is the result of abnormally regulated cell- to-cell adhesion and activation of PI-3 kinase-Akt pathway, this mouse model provides a much- needed mechanistically based animal model with which to conduct detailed studies of Abi1's tumor suppressive role as well as its role in the initiation of neoplastic processes leading to prostate cancer. Moreover, our preliminary data from additional mouse models generated in the lab indicate that Abi1 acts downstream from the most commonly mutated gene in prostate cancer, PTEN, and regulates tumor invasion. A better understanding of Abi1's function might lead to new therapeutic options for the treatment of prostate cancer and establishment of the novel mouse model for translational research in prostate cancer.

描述（由申请人提供）：前列腺癌是美国与癌症相关的男性死亡的主要原因（今年约32,000），是美国男性诊断出的主要诊断癌症（2012年约241,000例新病例）。新的前列腺癌诊断的数量最近增加了。这些令人震惊的统计数据需要临床医生，医疗保健提供者，科学社区和资助机构的特别关注。已经确定了不同的遗传变化，以引起男性前列腺癌。癌症患者肿瘤形成的常见机制之一是一种或多种称为肿瘤抑制基因的失活。肿瘤抑制基因的失活对特定组织内细胞生长的调节产生毁灭性后果，并导致肿瘤发育。我们的小组已经确定了一种这样的肿瘤抑制基因ABI1/HSSH3BP1，并开发了一种新型的条件基因敲除小鼠模型，以研究该基因在前列腺癌发展中的作用。 ABI1/HSSH3BP1基因的前列腺特异性破坏导致前列腺上皮内肿瘤（PIN）的发展。鉴于我们已发表的数据表明，ABI1 KO小鼠中观察到的前列腺病理是异常调节的细胞粘附和PI-3激酶-AKT途径的激活的结果，该小鼠模型提供了基于机械的动物模型，该模型旨在对ABI1的肿瘤抑制作用进行详细的研究，并在其Neopstrovation中进行了癌症的作用，并在Neopstractic中进行了癌症。此外，我们来自实验室中产生的其他小鼠模型的初步数据表明，ABI1在前列腺癌，PTEN中最常见的基因下游起作用，并调节肿瘤侵袭。更好地了解ABI1的功能可能会导致治疗前列腺癌的新治疗选择，并建立新型小鼠模型，用于前列腺癌转化研究。
