Description

雖然許多致癌轉錄因子為癌症調控核心樞紐,但至今仍廣為認知轉錄因子難以設計藥物阻斷,我們突破此瓶頸成功開發了PBX1小分子藥物,可穩固鍵結在PBX1 DNA結合位上,封鎖其下游癌幹細胞基因的轉錄作用,並可與代謝藥物GLS抑制劑產生協同作用。希冀透過此計畫,以3D腫瘤球模式進一步研究此完全新創(first-in-class) PBX1新藥如何有效抑制癌幹細胞特性、治療抗性及轉移,更深入瞭解其與GLS抑制劑作結合治療時,影響到那些下游癌幹細胞訊息路徑,及在動物體內以多體學研究藥物協同作用如何調控腫瘤生態系,從微觀至巨觀模式探討機制及應用,使此新藥及結合治療策略能盡早進入臨床試驗。
