Project description:Reactivation of androgen receptor (AR) may drive recurrent prostate cancer in castrate patients. Ack1 tyrosine kinase is overexpressed in prostate cancer and promotes castrate resistant xenograft tumor growth and enhances androgen target gene expression and AR recruitment to enhancers. Ack1 phosphorylates AR at Tyr-267 in the N-terminal transactivation domain. In this study, the role of this phosphorylation site was investigated by characterizing the phosphorylation site mutant in the context of full length and truncated AR lacking the ligand-binding domain. The Y267F mutant showed decreased transactivation of reporters. Expression of wild type full length and truncated AR in LNCaP cells increased cell proliferation in androgen-depleted conditions and increased colony formation. However, the Y267F mutant of full length and truncated AR was defective in stimulating cell proliferation. The full length AR Y267F mutant was defective in nuclear translocation induced by androgen or Ack1 kinase. The truncated AR was constitutively localized to the nucleus. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis showed that it was recruited to the target enhancers without androgen. The truncated Y267F AR mutant did not exhibit constitutive nuclear localization and androgen enhancer binding activity. Expression of AR responsive genes in cells expressing truncated AR wt and AR-Y267F mutant under androgen deprived conditions was assessed by microarray gene expression analysis. The AR pathway score was increased in cells expressing truncated AR wt and decreased in cells expressing truncated AR-Y267F. These results support the concept that phosphorylation of Tyr-267 is required for AR nuclear translocation and recruitment and DNA binding and transcription of AR responsive genes. Gene expression profiling was performed using RNA samples from LNCaP cells expressing truncated AR-wt and truncated AR-Y267F growing in androgen deprived conditions. The RNA sample from vector control cells were used as reference sample. Two biological replicates were used per each cell line.

Project description:The spliced variant forms of androgen receptor (AR-Vs) have been identified recently in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cell lines and clinical samples. Here we identified the cistrome and transcriptome landscape of AR-Vs in CRPC cell lines and determine the clinical significance of AR variants regulated gene.The AR variants binding sites can be identified in 22Rv1 cell line in the absence of androgen. Knocking down full-length AR (AR-FL) doesn't affect AR-Vs binding sites in genome-wide. A set of genes were identified to be regulated uniquely by AR-Vs, but not by AR-FL in androgen-depleted condition. Integrated analysis showed that some genes may be modulated by AR-Vs directly. Unsupervised clustering analysis demonstrated that AR variants gene signature can separate not only the benign and malignant prostate tissue, but also the localized prostate cancer and metastatic CRPC specimens. Some genes modulated uniquely by AR variants were also identified to correlate with the Gleason Pattern of prostate cancer and PSA failure. We conclude that AR spliced variants bind to DNA independent of full-length AR, and can modulate a unique set of genes which is not regulated by full-length AR in the absence of androgen. AR variants gene signature correlate with CRPC and prostate cnacer disease progress. Androgen receptor (AR) binding sites in human prostate cancer 22Rv1 cell lines were studied using ChIP-seq. ChIP enriched and input DNA were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) is overexpressed in the majority of castration-resistant prostate cancers (CRPCs). Our goal was to study the effect of AR overexpression on the chromatin binding of the receptor and to identify AR target genes that may be important in the emergence of CRPC. We have established two sublines of LNCaP prostate cancer (PC) cell line, one overexpressing AR 2M-bM-^@M-^S3-fold and the other 4M-bM-^@M-^S5-fold compared with the control cells. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and deep-sequencing (seq) to identify AR-binding sites (ARBSs). We found that the number of ARBSs and the AR-binding strength were positively associated with the level of AR when cells were stimulated with low concentrations of androgens. In cells overexpressing AR, the chromatin binding of the receptor took place in 100-fold lower concentration of the ligand than in control cells. We conM-oM-,M-^Armed the association of AR level and chromatin binding in two PC xenografts, one containing AR gene ampliM-oM-,M-^Acation with high AR expression, and the other with low expression. By combining the ChIP-seq and expression proM-oM-,M-^Aling, we identiM-oM-,M-^Aed AR target genes that are upregulated in PC. Of them, the expression of ZWINT, SKP2 (S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (p45)) and FEN1 (M-oM-,M-^Bap structure-speciM-oM-,M-^Ac endonuclease 1) was demonstrated to be increased in CRPC, while the expression of SNAI2 was decreased in both PC and CRPC. FEN1 protein expression was also associated with poor prognosis in prostatectomy-treated patients. Finally, the knock-down of FEN1 with small interfering RNA inhibited the growth of LNCaP cells. Our data demonstrate that the overexpression of AR sensitizes the receptor binding to chromatin, thus, explaining how AR signaling pathway is reactivated in CRPC cells. Examination of AR binding with 9 cell line samples + control and 2 xenograft samples + control. ChIPseq with AR antibody in 3 different LNCaP derivative cell lines overexpressing AR upon treatment with different androgen concentrations and 2 different tumor xenografts expressing different AR levels.

Project description:The androgen receptor (AR) is a key driver of prostate cancer (PC), even in the state of castration-resistant PC (CRPC), and frequently even after treatment with second-line hormonal therapies such as abiraterone and enzalutamide. The persistence of AR activity via both ligand-dependent and ligand-independent (including constitutively active AR splice variants) mechanisms highlights the unmet need for alternative approaches to block AR signaling in CRPC. We investigated the transcription factor GATA2 as a regulator of AR signaling and a novel therapeutic target in PC. We demonstrate that GATA2 directly promotes AR expression (both full-length and splice variant), resulting in a strong positive correlation between GATA2 and AR expression in PC (cell lines and patient specimens). Conversely, GATA2 expression is repressed by androgen and AR, suggesting a negative feedback regulatory loop that, upon androgen deprivation, derepresses GATA2 to contribute to AR overexpression in CRPC. Simultaneously, GATA2 is necessary for optimal transcriptional activity of AR (both full-length and splice variant). GATA2 co-localizes with AR and FOXA1 on chromatin to enhance recruitment of steroid receptor coactivators (SRCs) and formation of the transcriptional holocomplex. In agreement with these important functions, high GATA2 expression and transcriptional activity predicted for worse clinical outcome in PC patients. A GATA2 small molecule inhibitor suppressed the expression and transcriptional function of AR (both full-length and splice variant) and exerted potent anticancer activity against PC cell lines. We propose pharmacological inhibition of GATA2 as a “first-in-field” approach to target AR expression and function and improve outcomes in CRPC. LNCaP cells were transfected with control siRNA (3), GATA2 siRNA (3) or AR siRNA for 72 hours.

Project description:The androgen receptor (AR) mediates the action of androgens by binding to androgen-responsive elements (AREs) and subsequently regulating target genes involved in prostate carcinogenesis. The precise locations, true nature, and functional roles of AREs in human prostate cancer are still unknown. Here we redefine AREs by motif-resolution AR chromatin immunoprecipitation-exonuclease (ChIP-exo) assay in human prostate cancer cells and tumors. Surprisingly, we find that, in addition to canonical full-length AREs and half-site-like AREs, a significant portion of the four redefined ARE categories comprises non-canonical full-length AREs. The redefined AREs in enhanced AR binding regions in prostate tumors versus paired non-malignant adjacent tissues regulate a prostate cancer-relevant gene network not only centered on AR, but more interestingly, on novel AR target genes mTOR, BIRC5 and BCL2L1 involved in prostate cancer cell growth and survival. The precise redefinition of AREs has important implications for understanding how AR contributes to prostate carcinogenesis. To examine the differential AR binding in LNCaP cells before and after androgen stimulation, ChIP-Seq of androgen receptor is performed in LNCaP cells under the two conditions. To profile histone modification status in control LNCaP cells, MNase-Seq is performed with five different antibodies specific to certain histone marks. Each experiment includes two replicates.

Project description:Aberrant activation of androgen receptor (AR)-dependent transcriptional programs is a hallmark of human prostate cancers. At the molecular level, ligand-mediated AR activation is coordinated through spatial and temporal protein-protein interactions (PPIs) involving AR-interacting proteins, which we designate the “AR-interactome”. Despite many years of research, the ligand-sensitive protein complexes involved in ligand-mediated AR activation in prostate-tumor cells has not been clearly defined. Here, we describe the development, characterization, and utilization of a novel human LNCaP prostate-tumor cell line, N-AR, which stably expresses wild-type AR containing the streptavidin-binding peptide epitope tagged at its N-terminus (SBP-AR). A bioanalytical workflow involving streptavidin-chromatography and label-free quantitative mass spectrometry was used to identify SBP-AR and associated ligand-sensitive proteins/protein complexes functionally linked to AR activation in the cytosol of N-AR cells. Functional studies verified that ligand-sensitive streptavidin-copurified proteins encoded modulators of AR-mediated transcription, suggesting that these novel proteins were putative SBP-AR-interacting proteins in N-AR cells. This was supported by biochemical associations between recombinant SBP-AR and the ligand-sensitive COPI retrograde trafficking complex in vitro. Extensive biochemical and molecular experiments showed that the COPI-retrograde complex regulates ligand-mediated AR transcriptional activation through the mobilization of Golgi-localized ARA160 coactivator into the nuclear compartment of prostate-tumor cells. Collectively, this study provides a bioanalytical strategy to validate the AR-interactome and define novel AR-interacting proteins involved in ligand-mediated AR activation in prostate-tumor cells. Moreover, we describe a cellular system to study how compartment-specific AR-interacting proteins influence AR activation and contribute to aberrant AR-dependent transcription that underlies the majority of human prostate cancers.

Project description:We performed ChIP-seq targeting the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the U2OS-GR cell line and the androgen receptor (AR) in the U2OS-AR cell line. The cell lines are derived from U2OS ATTC:HTB-96 and stably transfected with an expression construct for either rat GR or human AR, respectively. The U2OS-GR cells were treated with dexamethasone (1 µM) for 90 minutes. The U2OS-AR cells were treated with R1881 (5 nM) for 4 hours.

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) signaling remains the key therapeutic target in the management of hormone-naïve advanced prostate cancer (PCa) and castration-resistant PCa (CRPC). Recently, landmark molecular features have been reported for CRPC, including the expression of constitutively active AR variants that lack the ligand-binding domain. Besides their role in CRPC, AR variants lead to the expression of genes involved in tumor progression. However, little is known about the specificity of their mode of action compared with that of wild-type AR (AR-WT). We performed AR transcriptome analyses in an androgen-dependent PCa cell line as well as cross-analyses with publicly available RNA-seq dataset and established that transcriptional repression capacity that was marked for AR-WT was pathologically lost by AR variants. Functional enrichment analyses allowed us to associate AR-WT repressive function to a panel of genes involved in cell adhesion and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. So, we postulate that a less documented AR-WT normal function in prostate epithelial cells could be the repression of a panel of genes linked to cell plasticity, and that this repressive function could be pathologically abrogated by AR variants in PCA.

Project description:Arteries and veins modulate cardiovascular homeostasis and contribute to the pathogenesis of hypertension. Functional differences between normal arteries and veins are based upon differences in gene expression. To better characterize these expression patterns, and to identify candidate genes that could be manipulated selectively in the venous system, we performed whole genome expression profiling of rat arteries and veins using the CodeLink platform. We used the major artery and vein of the rat, the thoracic aorta and caudal vena cava, respectively. Expression of mRNA for thrombospondins (TSP-1, 2, 4) was greater than 5-fold higher in veins vs arteries. The most prominent gene expression difference between the normal aorta and vena cava was pancreatitis associated protein (PAP1), a protein with anti-inflammatory functions that was 64-fold higher in vena cava vs aorta. Higher mRNA expression of TSP-1, TSP-2, TSP-4 and PAP1 in vena cava vs aorta was confirmed with real time RT-PCR. Importantly, immunohistochemical analysis of blood vessels sections qualitatively confirmed a higher expression of proteins in vena cava vs aorta. These studies report a difference in inflammatory genes in arteries vs veins. A particularly notable finding is the discovery of PAP1 mRNA and protein expression in peripheral blood vessels with a substantially higher expression in the veins. Data from these studies may provide novel insights into the genetic basis for functional differences between arteries and veins in health and disease. Whole genome expression profiling of aorta and vena cava whole tissues from normal male Sprague-Dawley rats (6 biological replicates each) was performed using the CodeLink Rat Whole Genome Bioarrays.
