Project description:Anti-androgen therapies including the new androgen receptor (AR) antagonist MDV3100 are the first therapeutic approach in treating prostate cancer (PCa). However, tumors frequently become castration resistant through multiple mechanisms including alternative expression of AR splice variants. To identify new inhibitors which block both full-length AR (AR-FL) and constitutively-active truncated AR splice variants (AR-Vs), a library of natural compounds was screened for molecules that could inhibit AR-driven transcription in PCa cells expressing AR-FL or AR-Vs. We identified the small-molecule Ailanthone (AIL) as a potent inhibitor of both AR-FL and AR-Vs. AIL down-regulates both AR itself and its target genes in PCa cell lines as well as orthotopic animal tumors. Moreover，AIL directly binds to the co-chaperone protein p23 and prevents AR’s interaction with HSP90, which results in the disruption of the AR-chaperone complex followed by Ubiquitin/proteasome-mediated degradation of AR as well as other p23 clients including AKT and Cdk4. Meanwhile, overexpression of p23 dose-dependently rescued AIL-mediated cell proliferation inhibition, suggesting that p23 might be a critical target of AIL. Furthermore, treatment of MDV3100-resistant 22RV1 xenografts with AIL reduced tumor volume by 77.5% (2 mg/kg/day AIL, intraperitoneal) and 79.2% (5 mg/kg/day AIL, oral) compared with the control group. Finally, AIL possesses favorable drug-like properties such as good bioavailability (25.7% F), high solubility, lack of CYP inhibition, and low hepatotoxicity, although signs of gastrointestinal toxicity were observed at high doses. In conclusion, AIL overcomes MDV3100 resistance in castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with excellent absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADME/Tox) properties, thus suggesting that AIL is a potential candidate for the clinical treatment of CRPC.

Project description:Prostate cancer is the most common, lethal malignancy in men. Although androgen withdrawal therapies are used to treat advanced disease, progression to a castration-resistant, end-stage is the usual outcome. In this study, the tested hypothesis was that the androgen receptor remains essential for the growth and viability of castration-resistant disease. Knocking down the androgen receptor in well-established tumors grown in castrated mice caused growth arrest, decreased serum PSA, and frequently regression and total eradication of tumors. Growth control of castration-resistant tumors appeared to be linked to the extent of androgen receptor knockdown, which triggers upregulation of many genes involved in apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and inhibition of tumorigenesis and protein synthesis. Our findings provide proof of principle that in vivo knockdown of the androgen receptor is a viable therapeutic strategy to control and possibly eradicate prostate cancers that have progressed to the lethal castration-resistant state.

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.

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.

C4-2 human prostate cancer cells stably expressing a tetracycline-inducible AR-targeted short hairpin RNA (shRNA) or scrambled shRNA were generated. These two cell lines were incubated in the absence of androgens with or without doxycycline hyclase (DOX). Comparison analysis of the gene expression profiles of C4-2 cells stably expressing AR shRNA + DOX and control cells (AR shRNA - DOX and scrambled shRNA ± DOX) was conducted to identify differentially regulated genes due to AR knockdown after normalization and data filtering. Genes were considered to be significantly different if the expression in the induced AR shRNA + DOX cells was at least 1.7-fold greater or 1.7-fold less than that seen in the control cells, with P< 0.05.

Project description:Castration-resistant prostate cancer is a lethal disease. The cell type(s) that survive androgen-deprivation remain poorly described despite global efforts to understand the various mechanisms of therapy resistance. We recently identified in wild type mouse prostates a rare population of luminal progenitor cells that we called LSCmed according to their FACS profile (Lin?/Sca-1+/CD49fmed). Here we investigated the prevalence and castration resistance of LSCmed in various mouse models of prostate tumorigenesis. In intact mice, we show that LSCmed prevalence remains low (5-10% of epithelial cells) when prostatic androgen receptor signaling unaltered (malignant Hi-Myc mice) but significantly increases in models exhibiting reduced prostatic androgen receptor signaling, rising up to 30% in premalignant tumors (Pb-PRL mice) and to >80% in castration-resistant prostate tumors driven by Pten loss (Ptenpc-/- mice). LSCmed tolerance to androgen deprivation was demonstrated by their persistence (Ptenpc-/-) or further enrichment (Pb-PRL) 2-3 weeks after castration as evidenced by FACS analysis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that LSCmed represent a unique cell entity as their gene-expression profile is different from luminal and basal/stem cells, but shares markers of each. Their intrinsic androgen signaling is markedly decreased, which explains why LSCmed tolerate androgen-deprivation. This also enlightens why Ptenpc-/- tumors are castration-resistant since LSCmed represent the most prevalent cell type in this model. We validated CK4 as a specific marker for LSCmed on sorted cells and prostate tissues by immunostaining, allowing for the detection of LSCmed in various mouse prostate specimens. In castrated Ptenpc-/- prostates, BrdU staining revealed massive proliferation of CK4+ cells, further demonstrating their key role in castration-resistant prostate cancer progression. In all, this study identifies LSCmed as a probable source of prostate cancer relapse after androgen deprivation and as a new therapeutic target for the prevention of castrate-resistant prostate cancer.

Project description:The goal of this study was to determine how androgen receptor inhibition alters transcriptional programs in prostate cancer cells. LNCaP prostate cancer cells were grown in 10% charcoal-stripped serum (CSS) supplemented with 0.5 nanomolar dihydrotestosterone (DHT), in CSS without DHT modeling castration, with CSS + DHT but in the presence of 10 micromolar enzalutamide, or in CSS without DHT (castrated) and in the presence of enzalutamide for 72 hours. Analysis shows that androgen receptor target genes are reduced with castration, enzalutamide or the combination of castration + enzalutamide.

Project description:In this study, we used microarray analysis to determine gene expression profile changes in the mouse prostate following castration and hormone replacement. We first identified genes with significant expression changes in each of these two processes and then generated a list of androgen responsive genes and a list of genes whose expression were inversely correlated with the presence of androgen. The analysis of this data set is described in Wang et al., Differentiation, 2006 Keywords: Time course
