Abstract:
DESCRIPTION (adapted from the applicant's abstract): Washington University has been a CALGB main member institution since 1986. Over the last five years, the cancer research program at the Washington University Medical Center (WUMC) has experienced tremendous growth. Barnes-Jewish Hospital, the largest hospital in St. Louis, diagnoses more than 5,400 patients a year with cancer and remains the major referral center for southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. The Siteman Cancer Center (SCC) at WUMC received NCI-designated Cancer Center status in August 2001. The infrastructure developed by the SCC to compete successfully for the NCI Cancer Center Support Grant has significantly enhanced our ability to carry out all aspects of clinical cancer research, including cooperative group trials. Our recent efforts to expand institutional research studies will significantly enhance our ability to contribute concepts to CALGB during the next grant cycle, specifically in the areas of Hematologic malignancies, thoracic oncology, and pharmacogenomics. Between 1998 and 2002, 16 Washington University physicians and research assistants served on 36 different CALGB scientific and administrative committees. WUMC investigators chaired 12 CALGB studies, including Phase II studies in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, prostate cancer, mesothelioma, and several pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenomic correlative science studies. Six additional studies are in the final stages of development. Accrual to CALGB trials has continued to increase during this grant period, with an average of 183 patients per year registered to therapeutic and non-therapeutic trials from 1998 to 2001. Accrual to therapeutic trials increased from 61 patients in 1998 to 105 in 2001. Based on registrations to date, projected accrual to CALGB trials for 2002 is estimated to be 312, with 136 to therapeutic studies. Plans for the next grant cycle include 1) continued involvement by all current WUMC investigators, 2) increased participation by our Phase I investigators to facilitate development of Phase II studies within CALGB, 3) involvement of at least five additional WUMC investigators in CALGB activities including faculty interested in GU oncology, quality of life, stem cell transplant and leukemia, leukemia correlative sciences, and radiation oncology, and 5) continued efforts to increase accruals, particularly minority accruals, to CALGB trials.

Deuel, Thomas F. Roles Of Growth Factors In Neoplastic Transformation
Grant: 7P01CA049712-080002

Abstract: The long-term goals of this proposal are to understand both at the level of
the gene and the protein mechanisms by which cells are stimulated to
proliferate in normal growth and in development and in the abnormal
regulatory mechanisms that lead to aberrant growth in transformed cell
growth and tumors. This proposal now seeks to continue the analysis of the
regulation of the PDGF A-chain gene, a gene that encodes a potent growth
regulatory factor that is highly developmentally regulated and
overexpressed in selected transformed cell lines. It is planned to
identify and characterize regulatory sequences within 5' flanking region
and within the first intron of the PDGF A-chain gene that are important in
developmental stage and cell type specificity of expression. Any elements
that are identified will be characterized and proteins that interact with
these elements and that mediate in trans the function of these elements
will be cloned and characterized. It is planned to use any cell type
specific enhancers identified to direct dominant negative mutations to
generate cell type specific loss of endogenous PDGF. A function in the
transgenic mouse. It is planned to use the activation and repressor
domains identified in the product of the Wilms' tumor gene to further
analyze the mechanisms by which the Wilms' tumor gene influences
transcription of the PPDGF A-chain gene, to identify proteins that dimerize
with or otherwise interact with WTI to influence transcription of the PDGF
A-chain gene, and to seek the function of the +17AA alternatively spliced
insert of WT1 on transcription of the PDGF A-chain gene. To seek the
potential relevance of WT1 on transcription of the PDGF A-chain gene, we
will transfect positive and negative regulatory domains of WT1 into
mesothelioma cells that express high levels of both PDGF A and WT1 and
mesothelial cells that are transformed with PDGF A. The phenotypes of
these cells will be characterized and transcriptional activity of each gene
will be tested. It is planned to characterize and clone proteins for the
repressor activity of methylation on transcription of the PDGF A-chain gene
and to use methods of Southern blotting and genomic sequencing to seek
direct evidence for methylation of the PDGF A chain gene in specific
tissues and in selected times of development and in tumors. It is then
planned to seek the role of methylation on transcription of the PDGF A-
chain gene in selected cell lines. The Project will use established
techniques of biochemistry and molecular and cell biology. It will utilize
also the Core Projects and interactions among investigators of the Program
Project to advance each of the Specific Aims. It is hoped that the results
of this research will identify genetic mechanisms that serve to regulate
expression of the PDGF A-chain gene and the consequences of its regulation
in tumor cells and to identify sites and strategies for modifying the
function and contributions of the PDGF A-chain to cancer cell growth.
