Project description:Castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) remains an incurable disease stage with ineffective treatments options. Here, the androgen receptor (AR) coactivators CBP/p300, which are histone acetyltransferases, were identified as critical mediators of DNA damage repair (DDR) to potentially enhance therapeutic targeting of CRPC. Key findings demonstrate that CBP/p300 expression increases with disease progression and selects for poor prognosis in metastatic disease. CBP/p300 bromodomain inhibition enhances response to standard of care therapeutics. Functional studies, CBP/p300 cistrome mapping, and transcriptome in CRPC revealed that CBP/p300 regulates DDR. Further mechanistic investigation showed that CBP/p300 attenuation via therapeutic targeting and genomic knockdown decreases homologous recombination (HR) factors in vitro, in vivo, and in human prostate cancer (PCa) tumors ex vivo. Similarly, CBP/p300 expression in human prostate tissue correlates with HR factors. Lastly, targeting CBP/p300 impacts HR-mediate repair and patient outcome. Collectively, these studies identify CBP/p300 as drivers of PCa tumorigenesis and lay the groundwork to optimize therapeutic strategies for advanced PCa via CBP/p300 inhibition, potentially in combination with AR-directed and DDR therapies.

Project description:Prostate cancer is driven by oncogenic transcription factor enhanceosomes comprising chromatin and epigenetic regulators. The lysine acetyltransferases p300 and CBP are key cofactors that activate enhancers through histone acetylation. Here, we identify p300/CBP-mediated multisite acetylation of the histone H2B N-terminus (H2BNTac) as a defining feature of oncogenic enhanceosomes in androgen receptor (AR)-positive prostate cancer. p300/CBP are essential for AR and ERG transcriptional activity, and their dual degradation eliminates H2BNTac and H3K27ac marks at hyperactive enhancers more effectively than targeting either paralog or bromodomains alone. Cytotoxicity profiling across >900 cell lines revealed that tumors with high H2BNTac, including AR-positive prostate cancer, are selectively dependent on p300/CBP. In preclinical models, systemic p300/CBP degradation inhibited tumor growth, synergized with AR antagonists, and showed no evident toxicity. These findings position H2BNTac as a key epigenetic marker of enhancer addiction and support dual p300/CBP degradation as a promising therapy for enhancer-driven cancers.

Project description:The acetyltransferases CBP and p300 are multifunctional transcriptional co-activators; however, their acetylation targets, site-specific acetylation kinetics, and function in proteome regulation are incompletely understood. We combined quantitative proteomics with novel CBP/p300-specific catalytic inhibitors, bromodomain inhibitor, and gene knockout to show that CBP/p300 acetylates thousands of sites, including signature histone sites, as well as a multitude of sites on signaling effectors and enhancer-associated transcriptional regulators. Kinetic analysis identified a subset of CBP/p300-regulated sites with very rapid (<30min) acetylation turnover, revealing a dynamic balance between acetylation and deacetylation. Quantification of acetylation, mRNA, and protein abundance after CBP/p300 inhibition reveals a kinetically competent network of gene expression that strictly depends on CBP/p300-catalyzed rapid acetylation. Collectively, our in-depth acetylome analyses reveal systems attributes of CBP/p300 targets, and the resource dataset provides a framework for investigating CBP/p300 functions, as well as for understanding the impact of small molecule inhibitors targeting its catalytic and bromodomain activities.

Project description:Emerging evidence suggests that the epigenetic state, including the DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility and histone modification, is substantially remodeled, leading to transcriptional reprogramming during the transformation of castration resistant adenocarcinoma (CRPC-Adeno) to neuroendocrine (CRPC-NE) lineage and LUAD to LUAD-SCLC lineage . However, the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. Here, we found FOXA2 transdifferentiates prostate adenocarcinoma away from an AR+/AR gene signature positive (AR+/ARS+) luminal cell lineage to an embryonic and neuroendocrine-lineage by inducing a population of AR+/ARS- transient cells through NKX2-1. Mechanistically, as a pioneer factor, FOXA2 primes NE lineage enhancers by inducing regional chromatin accessibility and DNA demethylation at early stage of transformation. Whereas, once the expression of NKX2-1 is induced by FOXA2, FOXA2 interacts with NKX2-1, mediates gene promoter and enhancer looping and cooperatively recruits P300/CBP complex to NE lineage enhancers, thereby activates NE lineage gene transcription. Interestingly, similar mechanism is also observed in SCLC cancer, suggesting FOXA2 and NKX2-1 are general regulators orchestrating the epigenetic landscape of NE lineage cancer. Finally, therapeutic targeting P300/CBP with CCS1477 which is in clinical trial for lethal PCa significantly impairs NEPC tumor growth.
