项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Carcinoma progression depends on the interactions of epithelial tumor cells with their surrounding stroma. Fibroblasts represent a principal component of this stroma, which modulates tumor cell behavior through diverse mechanisms, including the synthesis of growth and angiogenic factors, cytokines, extracellular matrix components and proteases. Indeed, many solid tumors exhibit striking histological evidence of fibroblast proliferation and activation, termed desmoplasia. Although desmoplasia in human cancers tightly correlates with poor prognosis, the molecular mechanisms that generate and maintain this desmoplastic response remain unknown. In preliminary studies, we have uncovered that autophagy in stromal fibroblasts is crucial for promoting both desmoplasia and tumor progression. Autophagy is a tightly regulated lysosomal degradation process that promotes tumor cell survival and metabolic adaptation. There is great interest in targeting autophagy against cancer due to its well-established effects on tumor cell survival; however, the potential pro- tumorigenic functions of autophagy in the host stroma remain unknown. We hypothesize that autophagy in stromal fibroblasts is critical to initiate and maintain a desmoplastic fibrotic response and to facilitate tumor progression. Using powerful immune-competent mammary cancer models and tools uniquely developed in our laboratory, we will rigorously scrutinize the functions of stromal fibroblast autophagy during cancer progression in vivo. In Aim 1, we will determine how autophagy in stromal fibroblasts modulates tissue stiffness and ECM remodeling. In Aim 2, we will dissect how autophagy-dependent secretion by stromal fibroblasts promotes carcinoma progression and influences the tumor microenvironment. In Aim 3, we will corroborate the effects of stromal fibroblast autophagy in mammary cancer progression and metastasis using autochthonous tumor models. These studies will provide unique conceptual insight into whether and how the autophagy pathway in host fibroblasts can be modulated to abolish the stromal response required for cancer progression.

项目摘要癌的进展取决于上皮肿瘤细胞与其周围基质的相互作用。成纤维细胞代表了这种基质的主要成分，其通过以下方式调节肿瘤细胞的行为：多种机制，包括生长和血管生成因子、细胞因子、细胞外基质的合成组分和蛋白酶。事实上，许多实体瘤表现出显著的成纤维细胞的组织学证据，增殖和活化，称为结缔组织增生。尽管人类癌症中的结缔组织增生与在预后差的情况下，产生和维持这种促结缔组织增生反应的分子机制仍然存在，未知在初步研究中，我们发现基质成纤维细胞中的自噬对于促进结缔组织增生和肿瘤进展。自噬是一种受到严格调控的溶酶体降解促进肿瘤细胞存活和代谢适应的过程。有很大的兴趣在瞄准由于其对肿瘤细胞存活的良好作用，自噬对癌症具有重要作用;然而，宿主间质中自噬的致瘤功能仍然未知。我们假设，基质成纤维细胞对于启动和维持促结缔组织增生性纤维化反应以及促进肿瘤发生是至关重要的进展使用强大的免疫能力乳腺癌模型和工具，在我们独特的开发，我们将严格审查癌症进展过程中基质成纤维细胞自噬的功能 in vivo.在目标1中，我们将确定基质成纤维细胞中的自噬如何调节组织硬度和ECM 重塑在目标2中，我们将剖析基质成纤维细胞的自噬依赖性分泌如何促进癌的进展和影响肿瘤微环境。在目标3中，我们将证实基质成纤维细胞自噬在乳腺癌进展和转移中作用模型这些研究将提供独特的概念性见解，以了解自噬途径是否以及如何在可以调节宿主成纤维细胞以消除癌症进展所需的基质反应。
