Project description:Neuroendocrine (NE) carcinoma and NE differentiation (NED) of human prostate tumor are hallmarks of aggressive human prostate cancer. Here we reveal that HIF-1a cooperation with FoxA2, a transcription factor expressed in NE tissue, is required for determining NE phenotype. Reduced HIF-1a expression, as seen in the E3 ubiquitin ligase Siah2 mutant mice, converted NE tumors to atypical hyperplasia when crossed with the TRAMPTg mice. Significantly, HIF-1a cooperation with FoxA2 enables the trans-activation of select HRE-regulated genes such as Hes6, Plod2 and Jmjd1a, whose expression is notably higher in metastatic prostate adenocarcinomas. Our findings disclose the requirement for spatial and timely regulation of FoxA2 and HIF-1a for NE/NED in prostate tumors.

Project description:General activation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathways is classically associated with adverse prognosis in cancer and has been proposed to contribute to oncogenic drive. In clear cell renal carcinoma (CCRC) HIF pathways are upregulated by inactivation of the von-Hippel-Lindau tumour suppressor. However HIF-1a and HIF-2a have contrasting effects on experimental tumour progression. To better understand this paradox we examined pan-genomic patterns of HIF DNA binding and associated gene expression in response to manipulation of HIF-1a and HIF-2a and related the findings to CCRC prognosis. Our findings reveal distinct pan-genomic organization of HIF isoform-specific DNA binding at thousands of sites. Overall associations were observed between HIF-1a-specific binding, and genes associated with favourable prognosis and between HIF-2a-specific binding and adverse prognosis. However within each isoform-specific set, individual gene associations were heterogeneous in sign and magnitude, suggesting that activation of each HIF-a isoform contributes a highly complex mix of pro- and anti-tumorigenic effects ChIP and RNASeq of HIF-1a and HIF-2a transfection in 786-O cell lines

Project description:Metastatic and locally advanced prostate cancer is treated by pharmacological targeting of androgen synthesis and androgen response via androgen signaling inhibitors (ASI), most of which target the androgen receptor (AR). However, ASI therapy invariably fails after 1-2 years. Emerging clinical evidence indicates that in response to ASI therapy, the AR-positive prostatic adenocarcinoma can transdifferentiate into AR-negative neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) in 17-25% treated patients, likely through a process called neuroendocrine differentiation (NED). Despite high clinical incidence, the epigenetic pathways underlying NED and ASI therapy-induced NED remain unclear. By utilizing a combinatorial single cell and bulk mRNA sequencing workflow, we demonstrate in a time-resolved manner that following AR inhibition with enzalutamide, prostate cancer cells exhibit immediate loss of canonical AR signaling activity and simultaneous morphological change from epithelial to NE-like (NEL) morphology, followed by activation of specific neuroendocrine (NE)-associated transcriptional programs. Additionally, we observed that activation of NE-associated pathways occurs prior to complete repression of epithelial or canonical AR pathways, a phenomenon also observed clinically via heterogenous AR status in clinical samples. Our model indicates that, mechanistically, ASI therapy induces NED with initial morphological change followed by deactivation of canonical AR target genes and subsequent de-repression of NE-associated target genes, while retaining AR expression and transcriptional shift towards non-canonical AR activity. Coupled with scRNA-seq and CUT&RUN analysis, our model system can provide a platform for screening of potential therapeutic agents that may prevent ASI-induced NED or reverse the NED process.

Project description:Fatal neuroendocrine (NE) prostate cancer evolves from castration-resistant adenocarcinoma as a mechanism of resistance to androgen deprivation/anti androgen receptor therapies. Evidence suggests the microenvironment as a possible source of soluble factors mediating neuroendocrine differentiation (NED), but molecular mechanisms are unknown. Using a transgenic mouse model we show that upon castration tumor cells up-regulate GRP78, which triggers a cascade leading to down-regulation of the matricellular protein SPARC in the nearby stroma. SPARC loss allows stroma cells to release IL-6, a known inducer of NED. A drug targeting GRP78 blocks NED in castrated mice. These events find correlation in prostate cancer patients developing focal NED after androgen deprivation therapies. Our results candidate SPARC and GRP78 for diagnostic and therapeutic purpose, respectively.

Project description:Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) activates the transcription of genes encoding proteins that enable cells to adapt to reduced O2 availability. HIF-1 target genes play a central role in mediating physiological processes that are dysregulated in cancer and heart disease, including angiogenesis, energy metabolism, and immunity. These disease processes are also characterized by increased activation of adenosine and β-adrenergic receptors, which triggers the synthesis of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), the allosteric regulator of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). We performed a proteomic screen in cardiomyocytes and identified PKA as a HIF-1α-interacting protein. PKA interacted with HIF-1α and phosphorylated Thr63 and Ser692 in vitro, co-immunoprecipitated with HIF-1α from cell lysates, and enhanced HIF transcriptional activity and target gene expression in human HeLa cells and rat cardiomyocytes. PKA inhibited the proteasomal degradation of HIF-1α in an O2-independent manner that required phosphorylation of Thr63 and Ser692 and was not affected by mutation of Pro402 and Pro564. PKA also stimulated the binding of the coactivator p300 to HIF-1α to enhance its transcriptional activity and this effect was lost upon mutation of Asn803. These data establish a potential link between stimuli that increase cAMP concentrations and HIF-1α-dependent changes in gene expression, which contribute to the pathophysiology of cancer and heart disease.

Project description:To identify candidate genes regulated by forkhead transcription factor box A2 (FOXA2) in the uterus, control and Foxa2-deleted uteri were collected at day of pseudopregnancy (DOPP) 3.5 (DOPP 0.5= vaginal plug). Microarray analysis identified differentially expressed genes in the Foxa2-deleted as compared to control uteri that are candidiate FOXA2-regulated genes in the uterus. Whole uteri (control wild type n=4; Foxa2-deleted n=4) were analyzed for differences in their transcriptome using a mouse microarray.

Project description:Kidney cancer accounts for more than 100,000 deaths per year world-wide. More than 80% are clear cell tumors (ccRCCs) and the majority are associated with loss of function of the von Hippel Lindau (pVHL) tumor suppressor resulting in upregulation of HIF-{alpha} subunits, and activation of HIF-dependent transcriptional pathways. Recent GWAS studies have discovered RCC-susceptibility loci both within EPAS1 (HIF-2{alpha}) and in an intergenic region of unknown function on 11q13.3. As part of an ongoing study to define the direct transcriptional targets of HIF-2 in renal cancer, we undertook a genome-wide analysis of HIF-2-binding sites in pVHL-defective 786-O cells (that lack functional HIF-1{alpha} due to a truncated transcript) using chromatin immunoprecipitation with antibodies directed against HIF-2{alpha} and its dimerization partner HIF-1{beta}, coupled to high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq). Amongst approximately 600 pangenomic HIF-2{beta} ChIP signals, we observed strong binding (ranked 12th by peak height) almost precisely coinciding with the RCC predisposition SNP rs7105934 on 11q13.3. We report binding of HIF-2{alpha} and HIF-1{beta} in 786-O clear cell renal carcinoma cells. 3 samples examined, HIF-2{alpha}, HIF-1{beta} and pre-immune control ChIP.

Project description:Although hypoxia inducible factor-1a (HIF-1a) was originally identified as a transcriptional factor to adapt hypoxia, HIF-1a has also been shown to regulate metabolic pathways specific for cancer, including aerobic glycolysis, namely “Warburg effect”. However, the mechanisms by which HIF-1a mediates the metabolic pathway under normoxia are not fully understood. Here, we identified gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase (GGCT) as a novel regulator of HIF-1a. GGCT is a highly expressed protein in various cancer tissues. Knockdown of GGCT exerts anticancer effects both in vitro and in vivo; thus, it is considered a promising therapeutic target. In this study, we show that depleting GGCT downregulates the protein and mRNA expressions of HIF-1a in PC3 prostate cancer cells, and that overexpressing GGCT upregulates them in mouse fibroblast NIH3T3 cells. We also show that depleting GGCT downregulates HIF-1a downstream target genes involved in glycolysis, whereas overexpressing GGCT exhibits upregulation pattern in these genes. Furthermore, we suggest that GGCT induces the metabolic switch from citric acid cycle to glycolysis under normoxia. Additionally, we show that GGCT regulates expression of HIF-1a protein via AMPK-mTORC1-4EBP1 pathway in PC3 cells. These results indicate the GGCT plays a regulatory role in the expression of HIF-1a followed by glycolytic switch in cancer cells.
