Effect of Weight Loss on Prostate Cancer Pathology

17. august 2018 oppdatert av: VA Office of Research and Development
The purpose of this study is to determine if weight loss prior to radical prostatectomy effects chemical substances in the blood stream and prostate tissue that may affect prostate cancer development and progression.

Detaljert beskrivelse

Obesity is an epidemic, a major public health concern, and is a significant risk factor for progression and mortality from prostate cancer. Prior work in the investigators' laboratory in pre-clinical prostate cancer models and in obese men found that a low fat diet, exercise, and weight loss resulted in antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on prostate cancer tissue through mechanisms related to the IGF-axis. The investigators now propose to conduct a prospective, randomized clinical trial in overweight and obese men with prostate cancer undergoing radical prostatectomy to evaluate if weight loss prior to radical prostatectomy results in antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects in prostate cancer tissue. The investigators will accomplish this aim by enrolling overweight and obese men with prostate cancer scheduled to undergo radical prostatectomy. Following informed consent, men will be randomized to either immediate radical prostatectomy or to an 8-week weight loss intervention group that will undergo a diet and exercise weight loss program followed by radical prostatectomy. Proliferation and apoptosis of prostate cancer cells in the prostatectomy specimen will be compared between the groups and relative to the baseline prostate needle biopsy specimens. Further studies will evaluate potential serum surrogate biomarkers that the investigators developed in the investigators' laboratory (ex-vivo serum bioassays) and serum and tissue IGF-axis proteins that have previously been related to obesity, weight loss, and prostate cancer progression. The goal of the investigators' project will be to evaluate the potential anticancer effects of weight loss on prostate cancer tissue and to identify surrogate serum biomarkers that reflect antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic tissue effects and can be applied to future secondary prevention trials in overweight and obese prostate cancer survivors.

Våpen og intervensjoner

Deltakergruppe / Arm
Intervensjon / Behandling
Eksperimentell: Arm 1: Weight Loss
Weight Loss Group
Subjects undergo a weight loss intervention prior to radical prostatectomy. The intervention includes weekly visits with the dietician, DEXA scanning, blood draws, and anthropometrics.
Aktiv komparator: Arm 2: No Weight Loss
No Weight Loss Group
These subjects do not undergo a weight loss intervention prior to radical prostatectomy. This group does undergo DEXA scanning, blood draws, and anthropometrics prior to radical prostatectomy.

Tidsramme
Apoptotic Index of the Highest Gleason Grade Malignant Epithelium in the Radical Prostatectomy Specimen Obtained After 8-weeks of the Dietary Intervention
Tidsramme: 8 weeks
The primary objective is to compare the mean apoptotic index in the radical prostatectomy malignant epithelium between the Weight Loss Group and the Control Group-No Weight Loss. The apoptotic index will be measured in the malignant epithelium with the highest Gleason grade. TUNEL staining was used to identify these apoptotic cells and measure the apoptotic index, which is the percent of cells stained from the sample.

Tidsramme
Proliferative Index in Prostate Cancer Epithelium Specimen
Tidsramme: 8 weeks
The proliferative index in prostate cancer epithelium obtained from the radical prostatectomy specimen. This index was procured by staining the Ki67 protein to measure cell proliferation. (Note: Ki67 is a common indicator of cell proliferation.)
8 weeks
Change in Serum IGF-related Analytes: IGF-1
Tidsramme: baseline and post-intervention
This outcome is the measure of the hormone insulin-like growth factor 1 at baseline vs. post-intervention. We measured and compared the concentration (ng/mL) of this hormone.
baseline and post-intervention
Change in Serum IGF-related Analytes: IGFBP-1
Tidsramme: baseline and post-intervention
This outcome is the measure of the protein, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1, at baseline vs. post-intervention. We measured and compared the concentration (ng/mL) of this protein.
baseline and post-intervention
Ex-vivo Mitogenic and Apoptotic Activity of Patient Sera on LNCaP Cells
Tidsramme: baseline and post-intervention
The BRDU assay measures proliferation of cultured cells such as LNCaP. We expose the cells to the patient blood and see if it inhibits prostate cancer cell growth ex vivo. We use optical density (a measure of the amount of light able to pass through the specimen) to indicate the concentration of cell proliferation.
baseline and post-intervention
Change in Body Weight
Tidsramme: baseline and post-intervention
This change in body weight is observed by DEXA, a scanner that measures total body composition.
baseline and post-intervention
Change in Percent Body Fat
Tidsramme: baseline and post-intervention
This change in percent body fat is observed by DEXA, a scanner that measures total body composition.
