Project description:Treatment-induced neuroendocrine transdifferentiation (NEtD) complicates therapies for metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). We propose that NEtD requires first an intermediary reprogramming to metastable cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) and showed that AR+/PSA+ PCa cell lines were efficiently reprogrammed to and maintained as CSCs by growth in androgen-free neural/neural crest (N/NC) stem medium. Such reprogrammed CSCs overexpressed stem genes, had features of N/NC stem cells, high tumor-initiating potential, resistance to anti-androgen and an EMT phenotype. Serum-containing mediums allowed re-differentiation to N-/NC-derived cell lineages or return back to PCa-like cancer cells. Once returned, the cells had increased resistance to androgen signaling inhibition. Finally, a 62-gene signature derived from reprogrammed PCa cell lines distinguished tumors from PCa patients with adverse outcomes. Gene expression profiles were obtained for RNAs extracted from biological replicates of parental LNCaP cells or from Neuroendocrine-like LNCaP (LNCaP-NE) cells grown for 15 days in CSS-media with no androgen.

Project description:Background: Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), a lethal subset of prostate cancer, is characterized by loss of AR signaling and resulting resistance to AR-targeted therapy during neuroendocrine transdifferentiation, for which the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we report that SRY-Box transcription factor 4 (SOX4) is upregulated in NEPC, which induces neuroendocrine markers, neuroendocrine cell morphology, and NEPC cell aggressive behavior. Methods: To understand the function of SOX4 in the development and progression of NEPC, we detected malignancy characterization after over-expression or knock-down of SOX4 in prostate cancer cells. Xenograft tumors representing NEPC subtypes were analyzed by pathologists. Protein expression profiles were validated in patient tumor tissue. Diagnoses were complemented by transcriptome sequencing and ATAC sequencing of specific cell lines and public clinical datasets. Results: SOX4 expression was significantly elevated in NEPC. Activating SOX4 in non-NEPC cells induced NE transdifferentiation, while silencing it in NEPC cells impeded NEPC progression. SOX4 promote neuroendocrine characteristics by inducing PCK2-mediated metabolism changing. Conclusions: Elevated SOX4 drives NE transdifferentiation in PCa via PCK2-mediated . Altogether, these findings highlight SOX4 as a novel molecule to drive NEPC progression and suggest that it might be a potential therapeutic target for NEPC.

Project description:Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is a lethal subtype of prostate cancer (PCa) with hyperchromatic nuclei being a distinguishing histopathological feature. Here we show that, underlying this distinct nuclear structure, heterochromatin related genes are significantly enriched in NEPC. Among them, heterochromatin protein 1α (HP1α) expression is increased early in NE transdifferentiation and is consistently elevated in clinical NEPC samples. Functional studies showed that HP1α knockdown attenuates NEPC tumor growth by inhibiting proliferation and survival. Its ectopic expression significantly promotes NE transdifferentiation in adenocarcinoma cells subjected to androgen deprivation treatment. To identify mechanisms underlying the function of HP1α involved in NEPC cell proliferation and adenocarcinoma cell NE transdifferentiation, we analyzed gene expression profiles from stable NEPC cell lines with control or HP1α knockdown, and adenocarcinoma cell lines with control or HP1α overexpression, respectively.

Project description:Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) arises primarily through neuroendocrine transdifferentiation (NEtD) as an adaptive mechanism of therapeutic resistance. Models to define the functional effects of putative drivers of this process on androgen receptor (AR) signaling and NE cancer lineage programs are lacking. We adapted a genetically defined strategy from the field of cellular reprogramming to directly convert AR-active prostate cancer (ARPC) to AR-independent NEPC using candidate factors. We delineated critical roles of the pioneer factors ASCL1 and NeuroD1 in NEtD and uncovered their abilities to silence AR expression and signaling by remodeling chromatin at the somatically acquired AR enhancer and global AR binding sites with enhancer activity. We also elucidated the dynamic temporal changes in the transcriptomic and epigenomic landscapes of cells undergoing acute lineage conversion from ARPC to NEPC which should inform future therapeutic development. Further, we distinguished the activities of ASCL1 and NeuroD1 from the inactivation of RE-1 silencing transcription factor (REST), a master suppressor of a major neuronal gene program, in establishing a NEPC lineage state and in modulating the expression of genes associated with major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) antigen processing and presentation.

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. 12 prostate tumor samples were analyzed during normoxia and hypoxia, with different FOX/HIF genotypes. The pivotal samples are represented as duplicates.

Project description:Neuroendocrine (NE) transformation is a mechanism of resistance to targeted therapy in lung and prostate adenocarcinomas leading to poor prognosis. Upregulation of the cell cycle kinase CDC7 occurred in tumors undergoing NE transformation, after TP53/RB1 co-inactivation, leading to induced sensitivity to the CDC7 inhibitor simurosertib. CDC7 inhibition suppressed NE transdifferentiation and extended response to targeted therapy in in vivo models of NE transformation by inducing the proteasome-mediated degradation of MYC, implicated in stemness and histological transformation. Ectopic overexpression of a degradation-resistant MYC isoform reestablished the NE transformation phenotype observed on targeted therapy, even in the presence of simurosertib. CDC7 inhibition also markedly extended response to standard cytotoxics in lung and prostate small cell carcinoma models. These results nominate CDC7 inhibition as a strategy to constrain lineage plasticity and to effectively treat NE tumors. As simurosertib clinical efficacy trials are ongoing, this concept could be readily translated for patients at risk.
