Effect of Weight Loss on Prostate Cancer Pathology
2018年8月17日 更新者: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.
研究概览
详细说明
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.

Apoptotic Index of the Highest Gleason Grade Malignant Epithelium in the Radical Prostatectomy Specimen Obtained After 8-weeks of the Dietary Intervention
大体时间: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.

Proliferative Index in Prostate Cancer Epithelium Specimen
大体时间: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.)

Change in Serum IGF-related Analytes: IGF-1
大体时间: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.

Change in Serum IGF-related Analytes: IGFBP-1
大体时间: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.

Ex-vivo Mitogenic and Apoptotic Activity of Patient Sera on LNCaP Cells
大体时间: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.
