Outline of Research at the Start

申請者らは、乳がんの内分泌療法感受性を制御するメカニズムとしてFbxo22による転写調節因子KDM4Bの分解がエストロゲンシグナルの停止およびエストロゲン受容体(ER)モジュレーター(SERM)のアンタゴニスト作用に必須で、Fbxo22陰性乳がんは内分泌療法抵抗性となり、予後不良であることを見出した。本研究ではこのメカニズムの異常がER経路とHER2/PI3K経路のクロストークのキーイベントであることを証明し、HER2/PI3K経路が活性化したLuminal乳がんに対する内分泌療法感受性マーカーおよび治療薬を開発するための基盤とする。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated the role of the regulation of lysin demethylase KDM4B by ubiquitin ligase Fbxo22 on the carcinogenesis and the treatment of breast and endometrial cancers and found the following issues. Phosphorylation of KDM4B by AKT protected KDM4B from Fbxo22-mediated ubiquitination and prolonged KDM4B-mediated estrogen signaling. Phosphorylation of KDM4B by kinase X was critical for the retention of KDM4B at DNA double-strand breaks, and the DNA repair failure caused by inhibitors of kinase X renders synthetic lethality for cells with homologous recombination deficiency. All the mice with endometrial epithelium-specific knockout of Fbxo22 exhibited atypical endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial cancer, whereas wild-type mice treated with tamoxifen only developed hyperplasia.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

AKTによるKDM4Bのリン酸化がKDM4Bを介したエストロゲンシグナルを助長することはLuminal/HER2乳がんが内分泌療法に抵抗を示す機序として臨床的に非常に重要である。キナーゼX阻害剤が、相同組換え修復不全を有するがんの治療薬として有望である可能性が示唆された。Fbxo22欠失により、タモキシフェン投与や、E2が低下する発情後期においてもエストロゲンシグナルが継続して子宮内膜上皮の増殖を誘導して発がんすることは、乳がんタモキシフェン治療における合併症としての子宮内膜発がん発症のメカニズム解明に向けたモデルとして重要である。
