The androgen receptor does not directly regulate the transcription of DNA damage response genes.

ABSTRACT: The clinical success of combined androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and radiation therapy (RT) in prostate cancer (PCa) created interest in understanding the mechanistic links between androgen receptor (AR) signaling and the DNA damage response (DDR). Convergent data have led to a model where AR both regulates, and is regulated by, the DDR. Integral to this model is that the AR regulates the transcription of DDR genes both at steady state and in response to ionizing radiation (IR). In this study, we sought to determine which immediate transcriptional changes are induced by IR in an AR-dependent manner. Using PRO-seq to quantify changes in nascent RNA transcription in response to IR, the AR antagonist enzalutamide, or the combination of the two, we find that enzalutamide treatment significantly decreased expression of canonical AR target genes but had no effect on DDR gene sets in PCa cells. Surprisingly, we also found that the AR is not a primary regulator of DDR genes either in response to IR or at steady state in asynchronously growing PCa cells. Our data indicate that the clinical benefit of ADT and RT is not due to the direct regulation of DDR gene transcription by AR.

Hypoxia-independent downregulation of hypoxia inducible factor 1 targets by androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer.

Project description:Hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF1) has been shown to cooperate with the androgen receptor (AR) in activation of oncogenic pathways in prostate cancer (PCa). Here we hypothesized that HIF1 also plays a role in PCa response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Comparison of gene expression profiles of androgen exposed (AE) and androgen deprived (AD) CWR22 PCa xenografts identified 596 upregulated and 748 downregulated genes after ADT. Gene ontology (GO) analysis of the differentially expressed genes showed significant enrichment of the biological processes cell proliferation, cell cycle and metabolism and suggested suppression of these processes after ADT. A set of 80 hypoxia-inducible genes were identified in 22Rv1 and LNCaP cell lines treated with hypoxia and showed considerable overlap (53%) with the downregulated genes. Immunostaining of the hypoxia marker pimonidazole showed no difference between AE- and AD-tumors. Comparison of the differentially expressed genes with lists of 1115 direct AR- and 276 direct HIF1-target genes identified 138 AR- and 40 HIF1-targets that were regulated after ADT, including six shared AR- and HIF1-targets for which downregulation was confirmed with RT-PCR. Most HIF1-targets were downregulated and included in the significant biological processes and the set of hypoxia-inducible genes. The downregulation of HIF1-targets was consistent with decreased HIF1A immunostaining in AD- compared to AE-tumors (p=0.002). A decrease in HIF1A immunostaining after ADT was also demonstrated in a cohort of 35 PCa patients (p<0.001). These data suggest suppressed HIF1-signaling after ADT and a shared role of HIF1 and AR in the regressive phase of PCa after ADT. Prostate cancer xenografts were subjected to adrogen deprivation therapy and analysed with regard to changes in gene expressions. Cell culture experiments were performed to generate prostate cancer specific gene lists associated with hypoxia.

Identification of Radiosensitivity Gene Signatures Induced by Enzalutamide in Prostate cancer cells

Project description:This study aimed to identify gene signatures induced by enzalutamide (ENZA) in hormone-sensitive (LNCaP) and hormone-resistant prostate cancer (PCa) cells. LNCaP and C4-2 cells were treated with ENZA alone or in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and radiation (XRT). Through gene expression profiling, we identified that ENZA alone or in combination with ADT enhanced the effect the effect of XRT through immune-related pathways in LNCaP cells and metabolic pathways in C4-2 cells.Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox propotional hazard models showed that low expression of all the candidate genes except PTPRN2 were associated with tumor progression and recurrence in a PCa cohort.

Intraprostatic Androgens and Androgen-Regulated Gene Expression Persist Following Testosterone Suppression

Project description:Introduction: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) remains the primary treatment for advanced prostate cancer (PCa). The efficacy of ADT has not been rigorously evaluated by demonstrating suppression of prostatic androgen activity at the target tissue and molecular level. We determined the efficacy and consistency of medical castration in suppressing prostatic androgen levels and androgen-regulated gene-expression. Design: Androgen levels and androgen-regulated gene-expression (by microarray-profiling, qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry) were measured in prostate samples from a clinical trial of short-term castration (1 month) using the GnRH-antagonist, Acyline, vs. placebo in healthy men. To assess the effects of long-term ADT, gene-expression measurements were evaluated at baseline and after 3, 6 and 9 months of neoadjuvant ADT in prostatectomy samples from men with localized PCa. Results: Medical castration reduced tissue androgens by 75% and reduced the expression of several androgen-regulated genes (NDRG1, FKBP5, TMPRSS2). However, many androgen-responsive genes, including the androgen receptor (AR) and PSA, were not suppressed after short-term castration, nor after 9 months of neoadjuvant ADT. Significant heterogeneity in PSA and AR protein expression was observed in PCa samples at each time-point of ADT. Conclusions: Medical castration based on serum testosterone levels cannot be equated with androgen ablation in the prostate microenvironment. Standard androgen deprivation does not consistently suppress androgen-dependent gene-expression. Suboptimal suppression of tumoral androgen activity may lead to adaptive cellular changes allowing PCa cell survival in a low androgen environment. Optimal clinical efficacy will require testing of novel approaches targeting complete suppression of systemic and intracrine contributions to the prostatic androgen microenvironment.

Linking prostate cancer cell AR heterogeneity to distinct castration and Enzalutamide responses

Project description:Molecular mechanisms underlying resistance to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and, in particular, to antiandrogen Enzalutamide, in treating castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), remain incompletely understood. Through screening >120 CRPC patient samples, we observed 3 expression patterns of androgen receptor (AR) protein: primarily nuclear (nuc-AR), mixed nuclear/cytoplasmic expression (nuc/cyto-AR), and low/no expression (AR-/lo). Xenograft CRPC modeling in 4 models (i.e., LNCaP, VCaP, LAPC4, and LAPC9) recapitulated the 3 AR expression patterns in castration-resistant tumors developed from parental androgen-dependent tumors. Strikingly, although the 3 CRPC models that retained AR expression (LNCaP, VCaP, and LAPC4) responded, to different levels and in different kinetics, to Enzalutamide, the AR-/lo LAPC9 CRPC was completely refractory to Enzalutamide. By combining whole-genome RNA-Seq and biochemical analyses together with experimental combinatorial therapy in the LNCaP and LAPC9 models, we identified BCL-2 as a critical therapeutic target in both AR+/hi and AR-/lo, Enzalutamide-resistant CRPC models.

RNA-seq profiling identifies Androgen Receptor-regulated genes in prostate cancer cells

Project description:The goal of this analysis is to profile AR-regulated genes, especially non-coding RNAs in three androgen sensitive prostate cancer cell lines, MDA-PCA-2B, LNCaP and VCaP. The two cell lines were serum-starved first, followed by dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stimulation or treated with Enzalutamide (AR inhibitor) without starvation. Transcriptome profiling was generated by RNA-sequencing from polyA-selected RNA. These experiments are followed by knock-down experiments of AR and ARlnc1 in MDA-PCA-2B, and also Enzalutamide (anti-androgen) treatment of LNCaP cells.

AR regulated transcriptome in prostate cancer cells

Project description:It has been well established that the transcription factor androgen receptor (AR) is obligatory for prostate cancer (PCa) development and progression, but the precise role of the AR in these processes is still unclear. To dissect the role of AR in shaping the transcriptome of prostate cancer cells, RNA-seq data were obtained from AR-positive LNCaP cells treated with various regimens to manipulate endogenous AR signaling. LNCaP cells were cultured in normal medium containing fetal bovine serum (FBS) to represent an androgen-dependent (AD) growth state. To mimic the clinical androgen-deprivation-therapy (ADT) settings, cells were grown for 4 days in conditions of either depletion of androgen (i.e., medium containing charcoal:dextran stripped fetal bovine serum (CDSS)) or the presence of AR antagonist Enzalutamide (MDV3100, 10 μM) to represent androgen-independent (AI) growth states. Aside from the pharmaceutical modulations, we also utilized siRNA to knockdown AR. To examine the direct effects of AR signaling on gene transcription and splicing, cells were primed with CDSS for 3 days followed by treatment of 10nM dihydrotestosterone (DHT) for 8-9 hrs. Deep sequencing of rRNA-depleted total RNAs was performed in biological duplicates on abovementioned LNCaP cultures.

Schlafen family member 5 (SLFN5) regulates LAT1-mediated mTOR activation in castration-resistant prostate cancer (PART 2)

Project description:Androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard of care for the treatment of non-resectable prostate cancer (PCa). Despite high treatment efficiency, most patients ultimately develop lethal castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). In this study, we perform a comparative proteomic analysis of three in vivo, androgen receptor (AR)–driven, orthograft models of CRPC. Differential proteomic analysis reveals that distinct molecular mechanisms, including amino acid (AA) and fatty acid (FA) metabolism, are involved in the response to ADT between the different models. Despite this heterogeneity, we identify SLFN5 as an AR-regulated biomarker in CRPC. SLFN5 expression is high in CRPC tumours and correlates with poor patient outcome. In vivo, SLFN5 depletion strongly impairs tumour growth in castrated condition. Mechanistically, SLFN5 interacts with ATF4 and regulates the expression of LAT1, an essential AA transporter. Consequently, SLFN5 depletion in CRPC cells decreases intracellular levels of essential AA and impairs mTORC1 signalling in a LAT1-dependent manner.

Loss of LCMT1 and biased protein phosphatase 2A heterotrimerization drive prostate cancer progression and therapy resistance

Project description:The first line of therapy for advanced prostate cancer (PCa) is androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) through surgical or chemical castration; however, in the majority of cases, tumors relapse in a hormone refractory or castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) form. Once the PCa has recurred in CRPC form, it progresses to a highly aggressive disease with frequent metastasis and poses an increased risk of morbidity and death This study shows that the loss of PP2AcÎ± methylation in enzalutamide (Enza)-resistant CRPC cells plays a central role in imparting the resistant to the cancer cells by stabilizing the interaction of MED1, BRD4, and AR associated transcriptional complex, thereby amplifying the oncogenic AR transcriptional output through chromatin re-modulatory mechanism. Further, this study demonstrates that targeting the PP2ACÎ± regulatory mechanisms or its downstream epigenetic effectors/mechanisms abolish the enzalutamide-resistance phenotype, thus paving the way for the development of more effective therapeutics to curtail mCRPC. The below given experiments validate the above findings.
