项目摘要

Abstract: Ovarian cancer (OC) remains the deadliest gynecologic cancer and recent cancer registry-based analyses reported significantly reduced survival rates among African American (AA) women compared to white (W) women with ovarian cancer, despite similar stage distribution and histological types at diagnosis. This disparity could be accounted for by differences in access to medical care and other socioeconomic factors, but also by differences in biological characteristics which may impact response to treatment. Little is known about differences in racially-defined biological key determinants of OC disparity and adequate models to study these differences are not yet available. Here we propose to begin addressing this unmet need by focusing on epigenetic factors, particularly on DNA methylation, which we hypothesize functions as a link between socio- economic or environmental factors and genomic alterations to modify disease course and response to therapy. Racial differences in DNA methylation events in ovarian cancer have not been yet defined. An additional unmet need is the development of adequate preclinical models (organoids, patient-derived xenografts) that could be used to measure response to treatment and that will reflect the unique biology of OC in AA vs. white women. To address these questions, we propose two aims, which will be integrated into the larger scope of this pre- SPORE application addressing disparities in gynecologic cancer and which will leverage our expertise on DNA methylation and preclinical therapeutic testing in OC. In specific aim 1, we propose to define the methylome of high-grade serous OC in AA and white patients by using tissue resources from the Lurie Cancer Center and affiliated Stroger Hospital, which serve the greater Chicago metropolitan area, including a high proportion of AA women. To accomplish this goal, we will use the Infinium HumanMethylation950 BeadChip array and we will validate key differences in CpG island methylation by pyrosequencing. For specific aim 2, we will begin developing high-grade serous ovarian cancer-derived patient derived xenografts (PDX) and organoids from AA and white women and we will assess response of these models to platinum in vitro and in vivo. RNA-sequencing and DNA methylation arrays will provide integrative gene expression and methylome signatures associated with response to treatment for models derived from AA and white women. At the completion of this project, we would have identified key oncogenic drivers regulated epigenetically in tumors from AA vs. white women and we would have generated useful new resources to continue to address biological questions related to racial differences in OC response to treatment.

抽象的：卵巢癌（OC）仍然是最致命的妇科癌症和近期基于癌症注册的分析据报道，与白人相比，非裔美国人（AA）妇女的存活率显着降低（W）卵巢癌的妇女，尽管诊断时具有相似的阶段分布和组织学类型。这个差异可以通过获得医疗服务和其他社会经济因素的差异来解释可能影响对治疗反应的生物学特征的差异。对 OC差异的种族定义生物学关键决定因素和足够模型的差异来研究这些差异差异尚未可用。在这里，我们建议通过重点关注这个未满足的需求表观遗传因素，特别是在DNA甲基化方面，我们假设这是社会 - 经济或环境因素和基因组改变，以改变疾病病程和对治疗的反应。尚未定义卵巢癌DNA甲基化事件的种族差异。额外的未满足需要开发适当的临床前模型（器官，患者衍生的异种移植物）用于衡量对治疗的反应，这将反映AA与白人妇女的独特生物学。到解决这些问题，我们提出了两个目标，这些目标将集成到本次前的较大范围中解决妇科癌症差异的孢子应用程序，这将利用我们的专业知识 OC中的DNA甲基化和临床前治疗测试。在特定目标1中，我们建议定义通过使用Lurie的组织资源，AA和白人患者的高级浆液OC甲基团癌症中心和附属的Stroger医院，该医院为大芝加哥大都市地区提供服务，包括 AA妇女比例很高。为了实现这一目标，我们将使用Infinium Human -Methylation950 Beadchip 阵列和我们将通过焦磷酸测序验证CpG岛甲基化的关键差异。对于特定目标2，我们将开始开发高度的浆液卵巢癌衍生的患者衍生的异种移植物（PDX）和来自AA和白人妇女的类器官，我们将评估这些模型对铂体外和IN的反应体内。 RNA测序和DNA甲基化阵列将提供整合基因表达和甲基甲基与源自AA和白人妇女的模型的响应相关的签名。在完成该项目的完成，我们将在肿瘤中表观遗传的关键致癌驱动因素确定从AA与白人妇女中，我们将产生有用的新资源来继续解决与OC对治疗反应的种族差异有关的生物学问题。
