ELF1 expression in prostate cells reduces oncogenic ETS functions and promotes senescence and sensitivity to chemotherapy through distinct gene expression programs [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Aberrant overexpression of oncogenic ETS factors through chromosomal rearrangments is the most common genomic event in primary prostate tumor and these factors have been well studied. Loss of ELF1, another ETS transcription factor family member, is a common event in prostate cancer, but the function of ELF1 has not been described within the prostate. Studies of ELF1 in different tissue types has determined that it can be important for oncogeneis or tumor suppression. Here, we show that ELF1 is a novel prostate tumor suppressor by hindering oncogenic ETS function at cell migration related genes, but also that ELF1 has the ability to regulate senescence and chemotherapy resistance. Next generation sequencing was used to determine gene expression changes in RWPE-1 cells upon addition of an oncogenic ETS factor and then with the loss of ELF1 through an shRNA knockdown. Genomic binding locations were also determined for ELF1 and ERG, through ChIP-seq to identify any cobound or unique regions. The combination of this data indicates that ELF1 repressed migration related genes which ERG activates, but ELF1 also uniquely binds genes related to cell senescence and activates their transcription. There, these data indicate a novel tumor suppressive mechanism for ELF1 within the prostate and better characterizes its function within this cell type.

Analysis of ETS gene expression patterns uncovers novel ETS mediated gene silencing pathways in prostate cancers

Project description:Deregulated expression of ETS transcription factors with oncogenic and tumor suppressor function occurs frequently in prostate cancer leading to profound alterations of the cancer transcriptome. By integrating genomic and functional studies we identified key targets of the aberrantly expressed ETS factors, ERG and ESE3. Altered expression of ETS factors led to the induction of the polycomb group protein EZH2 and silencing of the tumor suppressor Nkx3.1. Nkx3.1 was controlled by ERG and ESE3 both directly via binding to ETS binding sites in the gene promoter and indirectly via EZH2-induced histone H3K27 methylation. This may represent a general mechanism linking aberrantly expressed ETS with deregulation of epigenetic pathways and global reprogramming of the prostate epithelial cell transcriptome in prostate tumorigenesis. Keywords: prostate cancer, gene expression profiling, ETS genes In this study we show that deregulated expression of ETS factors with opposite functions is highly frequent in prostate cancer. Our study uncovers a previously unrecognized link between aberrant expression of ETS factors, deregulation of epigenetic pathways and silencing of tumor suppressor genes in prostate cancer and shows that partially distinct transcriptional programs are associated with different ETS gene expression patterns. The presence of distinct prostate cancer subgroups with different biological features may have important clinical implications and suggests that assessment of ETS expression levels might be useful to distinguish tumors with different clinical outcome.

Genome-wide occupancy of FLAG-ERG and FLAG-EHF in RWPE1 cells

Project description:We compared the genome occupancy for FLAG-tagged versions of the ETS factors ERG and EHF in the normal prostate epithelial cell line RWPE1. Our in vitro binding studies support a model whereby oncogenic ETS factors like ERG bind cooperativly with AP1 factors at closly spaced ETS-AP1 sites, while certain non-oncogenic factors like EHF bind anti-cooperatively with AP1 at the same sites. ETS and AP1 binding motifs were enriched in both ChIP datasets, but the ERG-FLAG bound reginos contained a much higher percentage of ETS-AP1 sites spaced in close proximity, consistent with our in vitro binding data.

Loss of Function Mutations in ETS2 Repressor Factor (ERF) Reveal a Balance Between Positive and Negative ETS Factors Controlling Prostate Oncogenesis [VCaP RNA-Seq]

Project description:Half of prostate cancers are caused by a gene-fusion that enables androgens to drive expression of the normally silent ETS transcription factor ERG in luminal prostate cells1-4. Recent prostate cancer genomic landscape studies5-10 have reported rare but recurrent point mutations in the ETS repressor ERF11. Here we show these ERF mutations cause decreased protein stability and ERF mutant tumours are mostly exclusive from those with ERG fusions. ERF loss recapitulates the morphologic and phenotypic features of ERG gain in primary mouse prostate tissue, including expansion of the androgen receptor (AR) transcriptional repertoire, and ERF has tumour suppressor activity in the same genetic background of PTEN loss that yields oncogenic activity by ERG. Furthermore, in a human prostate cancer model of ERG gain and wild-type ERF, ChIP-seq studies indicate that ERG inhibits the ability of ERF to bind DNA at consensus ETS sites. Consistent with a competition model, ERF loss rescues ERG-positive prostate cancer cells from ERG dependency. Collectively, these data provide evidence that the oncogenicity of ERG is mediated, in part, by displacement of ERF and raise the larger question of whether other gain-of-function oncogenic transcription factors might also inactivate endogenous tumour suppressors.
