DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Half of the world's population is infected with Helicobacter pylori, which causes chronic gastritis and gastric adenocarcinoma. Interventions based on high risk variables are needed. Antibiotics do not uniformly eradicate the infection, and benefits in reduction of gastric cancer in patients with precancerous lesions are not established. Our studies have directly implicated polyamines, derived from the rate-limiting enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), in gastric inflammation and carcinogenesis. We have reported that polyamines are increased in H. pylori gastritis in mice, and inhibition of ODC with alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) reduces gastric polyamines, and severity of H. pylori colonization and gastritis. In the gerbil model of gastric cancer, polyamine levels correlate with levels of gastritis, DNA damage, and progression to dysplasia/carcinoma, and DFMO suppresses polyamines and DNA damage, and reduces rates of dysplasia/carcinoma by more than 50%. We have demonstrated that the mechanism leading to H. pylori-induced DNA damage is induction of the enzyme spermine oxidase (SMO), which is downstream of ODC and generates H2O2 via metabolism of spermine. SMO expression increases along the histologic cascade from gastritis to precancerous intestinal metaplasia in North American subjects and in cases from Colombia and Honduras where H. pylori prevalence and gastric cancer rates are amongst the highest in the world. While inhibition of SMO also reduces cancer in gerbils, there are no suitable agents available for human use. Thus we will use SMO as a marker of risk, but focus on ODC as the target for chemoprevention, using DFMO, since there is more than two decades of experience in its use in human studies, including safety data and effectiveness in suppression of polyamine levels. ODC single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) studies have predicted colon adenoma risk and response to DFMO, and we show that gastric cancer is associated with the GG allele of the ODC+316 SNP; thus we will examine the association of ODC SNP status with DFMO response. We have also found that DFMO reduces proinflammatory macrophage and T cell responses, and can have effects on H. pylori virulence both in vitro and in vivo. We hypothesize that high risk subjects with precancerous gastric lesions will benefit from DFMO treatment. This will include reduced oxidative stress associated DNA damage, inflammation, and bacterial virulence, leading to attenuated histopathology and cancer risk. Our Aims are to determine: 1.) The effect of DFMO in a clinical trial of 300 high risk subjects with precancerous lesions in Honduras and Colombia randomized to placebo or DFMO for 18 months, with assessment of DNA damage, gastric polyamines, and histopathology score. 2) Host factors associated with response to DFMO, including ODC SNP status, expression of SMO and other polyamine pathway and metabolic enzymes, and shift to immunotolerant immune responses. 3.) H. pylori bacterial factors, including strain genotypes and functional status of output strains. We expect our findings will set the stage for future longer-term studies of gastric cancer chemoprevention.

描述（由申请人提供）：世界上一半的人口感染幽门螺杆菌，导致慢性胃炎和胃腺癌。需要根据高风险变量采取干预措施。抗生素并不能完全根除感染，并且在减少癌前病变患者的胃癌方面的益处还没有建立。我们的研究直接涉及多胺，来自限速酶鸟氨酸脱羧酶（ODC），在胃炎症和癌变。我们已经报道了多胺在H. pylori胃炎小鼠，和α-二氟甲基鸟氨酸（DFMO）抑制ODC减少胃多胺，和H.幽门定植和胃炎。在胃癌沙鼠模型中，多胺水平与胃炎、DNA损伤和发育不良/癌的进展水平相关，DFMO抑制多胺和DNA损伤，并将发育不良/癌的发生率降低50%以上。我们证明了H.幽门螺杆菌诱导的DNA损伤是精胺氧化酶（SMO）的诱导，该酶位于ODC的下游并通过精胺的代谢产生H2 O2。SMO表达沿着从胃炎到癌前肠化生的组织学级联反应增加，在北美受试者和来自哥伦比亚和洪都拉斯的病例中，H.幽门螺杆菌感染率和胃癌发病率是世界上最高的。虽然SMO的抑制也减少沙鼠的癌症，但没有适合人类使用的药物。因此，我们将使用SMO作为风险的标志物，但重点是ODC作为化学预防的目标，使用DFMO，因为在人体研究中有超过二十年的使用经验，包括安全性数据和抑制多胺水平的有效性。ODC单核苷酸多态性（SNP）研究预测了结肠腺瘤的风险和对DFMO的反应，我们发现胃癌与ODC+316 SNP的GG等位基因相关;因此，我们将研究ODC SNP状态与DFMO反应的相关性。我们还发现DFMO可降低促炎性巨噬细胞和T细胞反应，并对H。pylori毒力。我们假设，胃癌前病变的高危受试者将受益于DFMO治疗。这将包括减少与氧化应激相关的DNA损伤、炎症和细菌毒力，从而降低组织病理学和癌症风险。我们的目标是确定：1.）300例高危人群应用DFMO的临床疗效观察 洪都拉斯和哥伦比亚的癌前病变受试者随机接受安慰剂或DFMO治疗18个月，评估DNA损伤、胃多胺和组织病理学评分。2)与DFMO应答相关的宿主因素，包括ODC SNP状态、SMO和其他多胺途径和代谢酶的表达，以及向免疫耐受免疫应答的转变。3.）第三章H. pylori细菌因素，包括菌株基因型和输出菌株的功能状态。我们希望我们的研究结果将为未来胃癌化学预防的长期研究奠定基础。
