Structural Alterations in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

ABSTRACT:

Adapted from manuscript in review:

Nearly all prostate cancer deaths are from metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) but there have been few whole genome sequencing (WGS) studies of this disease state. We performed linked-read WGS on 23 mCRPC biopsy specimens and analyzed cell-free DNA sequencing data from 86 patients with mCRPC. In addition to frequent rearrangements affecting known prostate cancer genes, we observed complex rearrangements of the AR locus in most cases. These include highly recurrent tandem duplications involving an upstream enhancer of AR. A subset of cases also displayed a genome-wide tandem duplicator phenotype associated with CDK12 inactivation. Our findings highlight the complex genomic structure of mCRPC nominate new alterations that may inform prostate cancer treatment, and suggest that additional recurrent events in the noncoding mCRPC genome remain to be discovered.

Spermine is a natural suppressor of AR signaling in castration-resistant prostate cancer

Project description:In castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), clinical response to androgen receptor (AR) antagonists is limited mainly due to AR-variants expression and restored AR signaling. The metabolite spermine is most abundant in prostate and it decreases as prostate cancer progresses, but its functions remain poorly understood. Here, we show spermine inhibits full-length androgen receptor (AR-FL) and androgen receptor splice variant 7 (AR-V7) signaling and suppresses CRPC cell proliferation by directly binding and inhibiting protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT1. Spermine reduces H4R3me2a modification at the AR locus and suppresses AR binding as well as H3K27ac modification levels at AR target genes. Spermine supplementation restrains CRPC growth in vivo. PRMT1 inhibition also suppresses AR-FL and AR-V7 signaling and reduces CRPC growth. Collectively, we demonstrate spermine as an anticancer metabolite by inhibiting PRMT1 to transcriptionally inhibit AR-FL and AR-V7 signaling in CRPC, and we indicate spermine and PRMT1 inhibition as powerful strategies overcoming limitations of current AR-based therapies in CRPC.

Targeting the MLL complex in castration-resistant prostate cancer [expression]

Project description:Resistance to androgen deprivation therapies and increased androgen receptor (AR) activity are major drivers of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Prior work has focused on targeting AR directly; however, the identification and targeting of co-activators of AR signaling remains an underexplored area. Here we demonstrate that the MLL (mixed-lineage leukemia) complex, a well-known contributor in MLL-fusion-positive leukemia, acts as a co-activator of AR signaling. AR interacts with the MLL complex via its subunit, menin. Small molecule inhibition of the menin-MLL interaction blocks AR signaling and inhibits tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, we find that menin is up-regulated in CRPC and high expression correlates with poor overall survival. Our study identifies the MLL complex as a co-activator of AR that can be targeted in advanced prostate cancer. ASH2L / Menin / MLL1 were knocked down using shRNA /siRNA in two prostate cancer cell lines, VCaP and LNCaP.

Targeting the fibroblast growth factor pathway in molecular subtypes of castration-resistant prostate cancer

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) pathway inhibition remains the cornerstone for first- and second-line prostate cancer therapies. Although AR signaling inhibitors, such as enzalutamide and abiraterone extend survival in recurrent and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), durable and complete responses are rare. Resistance mechanisms employed by metastatic CRPC include amplification of AR and AR splice variants in AR-positive CRPC (ARPC) and conversion to AR-null phenotypes, such as double-negative prostate cancer (DNPC) and small cell or neuroendocrine prostate cancer (SCNPC). We have shown previously that DNPC can bypass AR-dependence through fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling. However, the role of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) pathway in other molecular subtypes of CRPC has not been elucidated.

Molecular profiling stratifies diverse phenotypes of treatment-refractory metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer

Project description:The widespread and long-term use of potent therapies designed to repress androgen receptor (AR) signaling is changing the molecular and phenotypic landscapes of prostate cancer. We conducted molecular profiling of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patient specimens and patient-derived xenograft models and identified five distinct mCRPC phenotypes. Herein, we characterize an AR-low phenotype that has low AR expression with concomitant decreases in a subset of AR regulated genes, and an amphicrine phenotype that has both AR and neuroendocrine activity in the same cell. Furthermore, our data highlight an emerging squamous cell mCRPC phenotype.

Selective androgen receptor degrader (SARD) to overcome antiandrogen resistance in castration-resistant prostate cancer

Project description:Clinical resistance such as androgen receptor (AR) mutation, AR overexpression, and AR splice variants (ARVs) restrict the second-generation antiandrogens benefit in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Several strategies have been implemented to develop novel antiandrogens to circumvent the occurring resistance. In this study, based on rational drug design, we discovered and identified a bifunctional small molecule Z15 as a potent AR antagonist and AR selective degrader. Z15 could directly bind to the AR ligand-binding domain (LBD) and inhibited DHT-induced AR nuclear translocation. Furthermore, Z15 promoted AR degradation through the proteasome pathway. As a result, our in vitro and in vivo studies showed Z15 efficiently suppressed AR and AR mutant transcription activity, downregulated mRNA and protein levels of AR target genes, as well as overcame AR LBD mutations, AR amplification, and ARVs-induced resistance in CRPC. In conclusion, our data illustrate the synergistic importance of AR antagonism and degradation in advanced prostate cancer treatment.

Identification of EP4 as a Potential Target for the Treatment of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Using a Novel Xenograft Model

Project description:More effective therapeutic approaches for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) are urgently needed, thus reinforcing the need to understand how prostate tumors progress to castration resistance. We have established a novel mouse xenograft model of prostate cancer, KUCaP-2, which expresses the wild-type androgen receptor (AR) and which produces the prostate-specific antigen (PSA). In this model, tumors regress soon after castration, but then reproducibly restore their ability to proliferate after 1 to 2 months without AR mutation, mimicking the clinical behavior of CRPC. In the present study, we used this model to identify novel therapeutic targets for CRPC. Evaluating tumor tissues at various stages by gene expression profiling, we discovered that the prostaglandin E receptor EP4 subtype (EP4) was significantly upregulated during progression to castration resistance. Immunohistochemical results of human prostate cancer tissues confirmed that EP4 expression was higher in CRPC compared with hormone-naÃ¯ve prostate cancer. Ectopic overexpression of EP4 in LNCaP cells (LNCaP-EP4 cells) drove proliferation and PSA production in the absence of androgen supplementation in vitro and in vivo. Androgen-independent proliferation of LNCaP-EP4 cells was suppressed when AR expression was attenuated by RNA interference. Treatment of LNCaP-EP4 cells with a specific EP4 antagonist, ONO-AE3-208, decreased intracellular cyclic AMP levels, suppressed PSA production in vitro, and inhibited castration-resistant growth of LNCaP-EP4 or KUCaP-2 tumors in vivo. Our findings reveal that EP4 overexpression, via AR activation, supports an important mechanism for castration-resistant progression of prostate cancer. Furthermore, they prompt further evaluation of EP4 antagonists as a novel therapeutic modality to treat CRPC. 4 samples in each group: androgen-dependent growth (AD), castration-induced regression nadir (ND), and castration-resistant regrowth (CR) stages

Effects of PSF knockdown in castration-resistant prostate cancer cells

Project description:Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and AR downstream signalings promote prostate cancer cell proliferation. Androgen-deprivation therapy is the first-line treatment strategy for advanced prostate cancer. However, many tumors develop to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and relapse. Thus, analyzing key factors for development of CRPC is important. We found PSF functions as RNA binding protein and transcription factor to promote castration-resistant tumor growth. High expression of PSF in metastatic prostate cancer tissue indicates the clinical relevance. In order to investigate the PSF function in CRPC cells, we performed gene expression in CRPC model cells derived from AR-positive prostate cancer cell lines after siPSF treatment.

Effects of OCT1 knockdown in castration-resistant prostate cancer cells

Project description:Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and AR downstream signalings promote prostate cancer cell proliferation. Although initially hormone-deprovation therapy is effective to inhibit cancer progression, most of cancers relapse as castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Therefore, we examined the effect of AR interacting partner OCT1 in CRPC cells. In order to investigate the OCT1 function in CRPC cells, we performed gene expression in AR-positive CRPC cell line, 22Rv1, after siOCT1 treatment. We also treated cells with vehicle or dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to analyzed the effects of OCT1 on AR function.
