Overcoming Lineage Plasticity and AR-Targeted Therapy Resistance in ZNF397-Deficient Prostate Cancer via TET2 Inhibition [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Cancer cells exhibit phenotypical plasticity and epigenetic reprogramming, which allows them to evade lineage-dependent targeted treatments by adopting lineage plasticity. The underlying mechanisms by which cancer cells exploit the epigenetic regulatory machinery to acquire lineage plasticity and therapy resistance remain poorly understood. We identified Zinc Finger Protein 397 (ZNF397) as a bona fide coactivator of the androgen receptor (AR), essential for the transcriptional program governing AR-driven luminal lineage. ZNF397 deficiency facilitates the transition of cancer cell from an AR-driven luminal lineage to a Ten-Eleven Translocation 2 (TET2)-driven lineage plastic state, ultimately promoting resistance to therapies inhibiting AR signaling. Intriguingly, our findings indicate that a TET2 inhibitor can eliminate the AR targeted therapies resistance in ZNF397-deficient tumors. These insights uncover a novel mechanism through which prostate cancer acquires lineage plasticity via epigenetic rewiring and offers promising implications for clinical interventions designed to overcome therapy resistance dictated by lineage plasticity.

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.

Analysis of gene expression (RNAseq) from shTP53:RB1 LNCaP/AR cell lines

Project description:Some cancers evade targeted therapies through a mechanism known as lineage plasticity, whereby tumor cells acquire phenotypic characteristics of a cell lineage whose survival no longer depends on the drug target. Here we show, using in vitro and in vivo prostate cancer models, that these tumors can develop resistance to the antiandrogen drug enzalutamide by a phenotypic shift from androgen receptor (AR) dependent luminal epithelial cells to AR independent basal-like cells. This lineage plasticity is enabled by loss of TP53 and RB1 function, is mediated by increased expression of the reprogramming transcription factor SOX2 and can be reversed by restoring TP53 and RB1 function or by inhibiting SOX2 expression. Thus, mutations in tumor suppressor genes can create a state of increased cellular plasticity that, when challenged with antiandrogen therapy, promotes resistance through lineage switching.

Reversal of lineage plasticity in RB1/TP53-deleted prostate cancer through FGFR and Janus kinase inhibition

Project description:The inherent plasticity of tumor cells provides a mechanism of resistance to many molecularly targeted therapies, exemplified by adeno-to-neuroendocrine lineage transitions seen in prostate and lung cancer. Here we investigate the root cause of this lineage plasticity in a primary murine prostate organoid model that mirrors the lineage transition seen in patients. These cells lose luminal identity within weeks following deletion of Trp53 and Rb1, ultimately acquiring an Ar-negative, Syp+ phenotype after orthotopic in vivo transplantation. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis revealed progressive mixing of luminal-basal lineage features after tumor suppressor gene deletion, accompanied by activation of Jak/Stat and Fgfr pathway signaling and interferon-a and -g gene expression programs prior to any morphologic changes. Genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of Jak1/2 in combination with FGFR blockade restored luminal differentiation and sensitivity to antiandrogen therapy in models with residual AR expression. Collectively, we show lineage plasticity initiates quickly as a largely cell-autonomous process and, through newly developed computational approaches, identify a pharmacological strategy that restores lineage identity using clinical grade inhibitors.

ASCL1 is activated downsrteam of ROR2/CREB signaling pathway to support lineage plasticity [RNA-seq]

Project description:Lineage plasticity has been shown to be a form of therapy-induced drug resistance. In prostate cancer, androgen receptor (AR) pathway inhibitors have led to accretion of tumor relapse with loss of AR signaling and a shift from a luminal state to an alternate program. Although different genomic and epigenomic aberrations have been correlated with lineage reprogramming, the molecular and signaling mechanisms orchestrating the development of lineage plasticity under the pressure of AR-targeted therapies are not fully understood. Here, a survey of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) identified ROR2 as the top-upregulated RTK following AR pathway inhibition, which feeds into lineage plasticity by promoting stem cell-like and neuronal networks. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that ROR2 activates the ERK/CREB signaling pathway to modulate the expression of the lineage commitment transcription factor, ASCL1. Collectively, our findings nominate ROR2 as a potential therapeutic target to reverse the ENZ-induced plastic phenotype and potentially re-sensitize tumors to AR pathway inhibitors.

JAK-STAT Signaling Confers Lineage Plasticity and AR Targeted Therapy Resistance in Prostate Cancer

Project description:Emerging evidence indicates that various cancers, including prostate, breast, melanoma and lung cancers, could gain resistance to targeted therapies by acquiring lineage plasticity. Although various genomic and transcriptomic aberrations correlate with lineage plasticity-driven resistance, the molecular mechanisms and kinetics of acquiring lineage plasticity are not fully elucidated. Through integrated transcriptomic and single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) analysis of more than 80,000 cells, we show that the ectopic activation of Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway drives lineage plasticity and Androgen Receptor (AR) targeted therapy resistance in PCa with TP53/RB1-deficiency. Ectopic activation of JAK-STAT signaling enables Heterogeneous and AR-independent subclones to emerge upon the selective pressure of AR targeted therapy, including subclones expressing multi-lineage, progenitor-like and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like lineage survival transcriptional programs. Both genetic and pharmaceutical inactivation of key components of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway significantly re-sensitizes resistant PCa tumors to AR targeted therapy. In summary, these results show for the first time that JAK-STAT signaling pathway is a key effector in driving lineage plasticity and represents a potential therapeutic target for overcoming AR targeted therapy resistance.

TMPRSS2-ERG suppresses PTEN/TP53 alteration-induced cancer lineage plasticity

Project description:Lineage plasticity is a major mechanism driving prostate cancer progression and antiandrogen therapy resistance. Deletions or mutations in phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and TP53 tumor suppressor genes have been linked to lineage plasticity in prostate cancer. Fusion-driven overexpression of the E-twenty-six transformation specific (ETS)-related gene (ERG), encoding an oncogenic transcription factor, is observed in approximately 50% of all prostate cancers, yet its role in prostate cell lineage determination remains elusive. Here we demonstrate that transgenic expression of prostate cancer-associated ERG blocks Pten and Trp53 mutation-induced decreased expression of Ar and its downstream target genes and loss of luminal epithelial cell identity in the mouse prostate. Integrative analyses of ERG chromatin-immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and transcriptome data show that ERG suppresses expression of a subset of cell cycle-promoting genes and RB phosphorylation, which in turn causes repression of E2F1-mediated expression of non-epithelial lineage genes. Xenograft studies show that PTEN/TP53 double mutated prostate tumors are responsive to the cyclin-dependent kinase 4 or 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor palbociclib, but resistant to the AR inhibitor enzalutamide, while ERG/PTEN/TP53 triple-mutated prostate tumors behave completely opposite. Our studies identify ERG and the repressed cell cycle gene signature as intrinsic inhibitors of PTEN/TP53 double mutation-elicited lineage plasticity in prostate cancer. Our findings also suggest that ERG fusion can be utilized as a biomarker to guide the treatment of PTEN/TP53-mutated, RB1-intact prostate cancer with either antiandrogen or anti-CDK4/6 therapies.
