This revised MPI proposal assembles experts in bladder cancer, tumor biology, DNA damage response (DDR) and pre-clinical models with a long-standing history of productive collaborations to study effects of intracellular bladder cancer PD-L1 signals on BRCA1-mediated DDR, and how such signals alter sensitivity to PARP inhibitors and immune checkpoint blockade immunotherapy in orthotopic/metastatic mouse and human models. We test transplantable mouse bladder cancer lines MB49 and MBT-2, and the human bladder cancer lines RT4, UM-UC3 and UM-UC14, representing basal and luminal histologies plus new PDX, xenograft and organoid models and our novel GEMM all per reviewer request .
