项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Metastasis is the cause of mortality in the majority of solid cancers including colorectal cancer. Understanding the metastatic process will open the door to developing new therapeutic and diagnostic modalities for the care of cancer patients. Analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in cancer mouse models has revealed the abundant expression of repetitive element RNAs implicating their role in the metastatic cascade. Many of these repeat RNAs are capable of retrotransposition through reverse transcription (RT), which leads to alterations in the cancer genome. Our preclinical cell line and mouse models have demonstrated the ability of these endogenous RT to be blocked by nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) commonly used for viral infections. Interestingly, we have found anti-cancer effects of NRTIs in multiple colorectal cancer (CRC) preclinical models that led to a Phase II clinical trial of the NRTI 3TC in metastatic CRC patients. In this proposal, we plan to: 1) Understand the effects of 3TC on in vitro and in vivo metastatic capability in CRC 2) Compare the expression of repeat RNAs in paired primary tumor and liver metastases resected from patients with CRC 3) Characterize the dynamics of CTCs in patients treated with 3TC in the phase II clinical trial

项目摘要转移是包括结直肠癌在内的大多数实体癌的死亡原因。理解转移过程将为开发新的治疗和诊断模式打开大门，的癌症患者。对癌症小鼠模型中循环肿瘤细胞（CTC）的分析已经揭示了在癌症小鼠模型中存在的丰富的细胞因子。重复元件RNA的表达暗示它们在转移级联中的作用。其中许多重复 RNA能够通过逆转录（RT）进行逆转录转座，这导致RNA中的改变。癌症基因组我们的临床前细胞系和小鼠模型已经证明了这些内源性的能力， RT被通常用于病毒感染的核苷逆转录酶抑制剂（NRTI）阻断。有趣的是，我们在多种结直肠癌（CRC）临床前模型中发现了NRTI的抗癌作用这导致了NRTI 3TC在转移性CRC患者中的II期临床试验。在本提案中，我们计划： 1)了解3TC对结直肠癌体外和体内转移能力的影响 2)原发癌与肝转移癌配对组织中重复RNA表达的比较与CRC 3)描述II期临床试验中接受3TC治疗的患者的CTCs动力学特征
