Palmitoyl acyltransferase ZDHHC7 suppresses prostate cancer through inhibiting androgen receptor expression

ABSTRACT: We examined ZDHHC family gene expression in human tissue collection and identified ZDHHC7 as a PCa-relevant member. RNA-seq analyses of PCa cells with ZDHHC7 de-regulation revealed global alterations in androgen response and cell cycle pathways. Mechanistically, ZDHHC7 inhibits AR gene transcription and therefore reduces AR protein levels and abolishes AR signaling in PCa cells. Accordingly, ZDHHC7 depletion increased oncogenic properties of PCa cells, whereas restoring ZDHHC7 is sufficient to suppress PCa cell proliferation and invasion in vitro and mitigate xenograft tumor growth in vivo. Lastly, we demonstrated that ZDHHC7 is down-regulated in human PCa compared to benign adjacent tissues and its loss is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Taken together, our findings unequivocally prove ZDHHC7 as a tumor suppressor gene that inhibits AR signaling and PCa progression, identifying ZDHHC7 loss as a biomarker for aggressive PCa and a target for therapeutic intervention.

Inhibiting Androgen Receptor Splice Variants with Cysteine-Selective Irreversible Covalent Inhibitors to Treat Prostate Cancer

Project description:Prostate cancer (PCa) affects over 250,000 men in the US. Androgen Receptor (AR) signaling inhibitors are the mainstay therapeutics for PCa. Advanced PCa that expresses AR splice variants (AR-SVs) does not respond to current therapeutic strategies. In this manuscript, we uncovered the physicochemical properties of the intrinsically-disordered transactivation domain of AR and AR-SV and developed novel AR irreversible covalent antagonists (SARICA) to the transactivation domain for the treatment of advanced PCa. SARICAs were also used to identify a potential binding region in the AR and AR-SV transactivation domain.

Transcriptome profiling of CXCR2+ neuroendocrine (NE) tumor cells purified from patients' fresh prostate adenocarcinoma

Project description:The development of therapy resistance is inevitable in prostate cancer (PCa) despite maximal inhibition of androgen receptor (AR) signaling. Here, we for the first time purified a rare AR-negative NE-cell subset from primary fresh human PCa tissue based on cell-surface receptor CXCR2 and showed that they possess gene signatures of lethal cancer through transcriptional profiling. Functional studies demonstrate CXCR2 to be a driver of NE cells’ key phenotypes, including loss of AR expression, lineage plasticity, and resistance to hormonal-therapy. Furthermore, CXCR2-driven NE cells are critical for the tumor microenvironment by providing a survival niche for the bulk AR+ luminal cells. Importantly, inhibition of CXCR2 by a chemical inhibitor or genetic manipulation dramatically inhibits aggressive PCa cells in-vitro and in-vivo, demonstrating a central role of NE cells in human PCa. Therefore, we firmly established that targeting NE cells through CXCR2 represents a novel, AR-independent therapeutic strategy that will eliminate all tumor cells (NE and luminal), achieving superior therapeutic efficacy.

Genome-wide occupation of AR, FOXA1, and H3K27AC in LNCaP cells treated with selective PARP2 inhibitor UPF-1069

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) signaling is a key driver of prostate cancer (PCa) growth and progression. Understanding the factors influencing AR-mediated transcription provides new opportunities for therapeutic intervention. We have previously discovered that a genetic variant in one of the DNA repair genes, PARP2, is associated with aggressive PCa. Here, we show that a high expression level of PARP2 in PCa tumors is associated with high Gleason scores and biochemical recurrence using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. Functional studies reveal that PARP2 enhances AR-mediated gene expression through interacting with the pioneer factor FOXA1 and facilitating AR recruitment to the enhancer regions genome-wide in PCa cells. Selective targeting of PARP2, but not PARP1, by genetic or pharmacological means blocks interaction between PARP2 and FOXA1, which in turn attenuates AR-mediated transcription and inhibits AR-positive PCa growth. SIGNIFICANCE: Current anti-androgens act through blocking ligand binding or inhibiting androgen synthesis. Selective targeting of PARP2 may provide a novel therapeutic approach for AR inhibition by disruption of FOXA1 function, which may be beneficial to patients, irrespective of their DNA repair defect status and, more importantly, when direct AR-targeted therapies fail.

G3BP1 inhibits Cul3SPOP to amplify AR signaling and promote prostate tumorigenesis

Project description:Speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, acts as a tumor suppressor. We identified G3BP1 as non-substrate interactor of SPOP. G3BP1 is a well-known oncogene in many cancer types, but its role in prostate cancer (PCa) remains largely elusive. We showed that G3BP1 functions as an upstream regulator and potent endogenous inhibitor of Cul3SPOP, suggesting a distinctive Cul3SPOP inactivation independent of SPOP mutations. Transcriptomic analysis together with functional studies revealed that the G3BP1-SPOP ubiquitin signaling axis is involved in PCa progression through activating AR signaling. Further, AR upregulates G3BP1 to potentiate feed-forward amplification of signaling through G3BP1-SPOP axis. Overall, we show G3BP1high PCa tumors constitute a new subset where G3BP1 inhibits Cul3SPOP function to upregulate AR signaling, and promotes tumorigenesis.

Transcriptional repression activity of androgen receptor targets cell plasticity in prostate cancer: BioID analysis

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) signaling remains the key therapeutic target in the management of hormone-naïve advanced prostate cancer (PCa) and castration-resistant PCa (CRPC). Recently, landmark molecular features have been reported for CRPC, including the expression of constitutively active AR variants that lack the ligand-binding domain. Besides their role in CRPC, AR variants lead to the expression of genes involved in tumor progression. However, little is known about the specificity of their mode of action compared with that of wild-type AR (AR-WT). We performed AR transcriptome analyses in an androgen-dependent PCa cell line as well as cross-analyses with publicly available RNA-seq dataset and established that transcriptional repression capacity that was marked for AR-WT was pathologically lost by AR variants. Functional enrichment analyses allowed us to associate AR-WT repressive function to a panel of genes involved in cell adhesion and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. So, we postulate that a less documented AR-WT normal function in prostate epithelial cells could be the repression of a panel of genes linked to cell plasticity, and that this repressive function could be pathologically abrogated by AR variants in PCA.

Proximity labeling proteomics of the androgen receptor reveals Kruppel-Like Factor 4 as a repressor of androgen-dependent genes

Project description:Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Canadian men and is the third cause of cancer mortality. PCa initiation and growth is driven by the androgen receptor (AR). AR is activated by androgens such as testosterone and controls prostatic cell proliferation and survival. We sought to characterize global AR signalling networks. We performed BioID proximity labeling proteomics in androgen-dependent LAPC4 cells to delineate AR protein interaction networks. We report the identification of 32 AR associated proteins in non-stimulated cells. Strikingly, the AR signalling network increased to 183 and 201 proteins, upon 24h or 72h androgenic stimulation, respectively. Among this group, we identified 215 proteins that were not previously reported as AR interactors. Interestingly, these AR associated proteins were previously reported to be involved in DNA metabolism, RNA processing and RNA polymerase II transcription. Moreover, we identified 44 transcription factors, such as the Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4), which was specifically revealed in androgen-stimulated cells. We determined that KLF4 acts as a repressor of AR target genes transcription in PCa cells. Taken together, our data report the largest high-confidence proximity networks for AR in PCa cells.

Targeting the androgen receptor N-terminus via the cochaperone Bag-1L [RNA-seq C-terminal mutant]

Project description:Targeting the activation function-1 (AF-1) at the N-terminus of the androgen receptor (AR) is an attractive therapeutic alternative to the current approaches to inhibit AR action in prostate cancer (PCa). Here we show that the AR AF-1 is bound by the BAG domain of the cochaperone Bag-1L. Mutations in this domain or loss of Bag-1L abrogates AR signaling and reduces PCa growth. Correspondingly, Bag-1L protein levels increase with progression of primary prostate tumors to castration-resistant PCa, correlating inversely with patient response to abiraterone therapy. Intriguingly, BAG domain residues important for its interaction with the AR AF-1 overlap a potentially druggable pocket of this protein. Bag-1L is therefore a putative therapeutic target for the inhibition of AR AF-1 activity.
