MYC drives aggressive prostate cancer by disrupting transcriptional pause release at androgen receptor targets

ABSTRACT: c-MYC (MYC) is a major driver of prostate cancer tumorigenesis and progression. Although MYC is overexpressed in both early and metastatic disease and associated with poor survival, its impact on prostate transcriptional reprogramming remains elusive. We demonstrate that MYC overexpression significantly diminishes the androgen receptor (AR) transcriptional program (the set of genes directly targeted by the AR protein) in luminal prostate cells without altering AR expression. Importantly, analyses of clinical specimens revealed that concurrent low AR and high MYC transcriptional programs accelerate prostate cancer progression toward a metastatic, castration-resistant disease. Data integration of single-cell transcriptomics together with chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) revealed an increased RNA polymerase II (Pol II) promoter-proximal pausing at AR-dependent genes following MYC overexpression without an accompanying deactivation of AR-bound enhancers. Altogether, our findings suggest that MYC overexpression antagonizes the canonical AR transcriptional program and contributes to prostate tumor initiation and progression by disrupting transcriptional pause release at AR-regulated genes.

High-fat diet fuels prostate cancer progression by rewiring the metabolome and amplifying the MYC program

Project description:Systemic metabolic alterations associated with increased consumption of saturated fat and obesity are linked with increased risk of prostate cancer progression and mortality, but the molecular underpinnings of this association are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate in a murine prostate cancer model, that high-fat diet (HFD) enhances the MYC transcriptional program through metabolic alterations that favour histone H4K20 hypomethylation at the promoter regions of MYC regulated genes, leading to increased cellular proliferation and tumour burden. Saturated fat intake (SFI) is also associated with an enhanced MYC transcriptional signature in prostate cancer patients. The SFI-induced MYC signature independently predicts prostate cancer progression and death. Finally, switching from a high-fat to a low-fat diet, attenuates the MYC transcriptional program in mice. Our findings suggest that in primary prostate cancer, dietary SFI contributes to tumour progression by mimicking MYC over expression, setting the stage for therapeutic approaches involving changes to the diet.

Temporal evolution of cellular heterogeneity during the progression to advanced, AR-negative prostate cancer [RRBS]

Project description:Despite advances in the development of highly effective androgen receptor (AR)-directed therapies for the treatment of men with advanced prostate cancer, acquired resistance ultimately ensues. A significant subset of patients with resistant disease develop AR-null, androgen-indifferent tumors that lose their luminal identify and display neuroendocrine features (neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC)). Utilizing a genetically engineered mouse model, we have characterized the synergy between N-Myc overexpression and RB1 loss-of-function which results in the formation of AR-negative, poorly differentiated tumors with high metastatic potential. Single-cell-based approaches revealed striking changes to the transcriptome and chromatin accessibility during the transition to NEPC. Global DNA methylation and the N-Myc cistrome are redirected following RB1 loss. Altogether, our data provide new insight into the progression to NEPC.

Overexpression of c-Myc antagonises transcriptional output of the androgen receptor in prostate cancer [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:c-Myc overexpression LNCaP cells were treated with R1881 or R1881+Doxycycline (to induce c-Myc overexpression) and ChIP-seq studies were performed using antibodies against c-Myc, AR, H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K27ac and H3K27m3 Prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous cancer in men. The androgen receptor (AR) a ligand-activated transcription factor, constitutes the main drug target for advanced cases of the disease. However, a variety of other transcription factors and signalling networks have been shown to be altered in patients and to influence AR activity. The oncogenic transcription factor c-Myc has been studied extensively in multiple malignancies, but its impact on AR activity in prostate cancer remains elusive. In this study we assessed the impact of clinically relevant levels of c-Myc overexpression on AR activity and transcriptional output. We found that c-Myc and the AR share a substantial amount of binding sites, which exhibit enhancer-like characteristics. Interestingly, c-Myc overexpression altered global AR chromatin occupancy and antagonised a subset of androgen-induced genes. Furthermore, c-Myc overexpression modified histone marks, most notably H3K4me1 and H3K27me3. Lastly, we validated the antagonistic relationship between c-Myc and two AR target genes, KLK3 and GNMT, in patient samples.

RNA sequencing of 16D LTenza cells transduced with cMyc, shRb1, shTp53, shRb1_shTp53

Project description:The goal of this study was to determine how genetic alterations to AR inhibition-maintained prostate cancer cells alters transcriptional programs. We explored how MYC overexpression alters the transcriptional program of 16D cells maintained in enzalutamide for at least 2 months (LTenza) by transducing LTenza 16D cells with control (FUCRW) or MYC. To explore the effect of RB1 and TP53, we generated LTenza 16D cells with knockdown of RB1 and/or TP53 and compared these lines to control-transduced (shScr) LTenza 16D cells. Enzalutamide-naïve (DMSO-treated) cells were included to validate enzalutamide-induced inhibition of AR signaling in enzalutamide-maintained lines.
