内容摘要:

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for almost 20% of breast malignancies and is characterized by lack of expression of the estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) and absence of HER2 amplification. Due to the lack of targeted therapies, patients with TNBC have a poor survival rate and a larger likelihood of distant recurrence and death within five years of diagnosis. In this talk, I will show our unpublished work that GLUT1 inhibition is effective in killing a subset of TNBC cell lines and patient samples and is highly correlated with the status of the retinoblastoma gene, Rb1 (which has been previously linked to metabolism in breast cancer). I will also describe the role of the HBO1 acetylase complex in TNBC under conditions of glucose deprivation or with a selective GLUT1 inhibitor. In summary, our studies uncover novel links between epigenetics and metabolism and point to strategies for combination therapies for this deadly cancer type.

报告人简介:

吴芩,2015年毕业于中国科学技术大学化学系,博士期间前往美国麻省理工学院Whitehead 研究所交流学习两年,主要研究纳米抗体和蛋白质成像系统。2016年三月起在多伦多大学从事博士后研究,主要方向为小分子抗癌药物。以三阴性乳腺癌为主要研究对象,筛选高效特异的细胞代谢和表观遗传小分子药物,结合现在基因工程和生物信息技术,阐释药物作用机理和药效预测,实现癌症的个性化治疗。
