Transcriptome analysis of effects of AHR knockdown in Enzalutamide-resistant CWR-R1 and C4-2B cells

ABSTRACT: Enzalutamide (ENZ) is an inhibitor of the androgen receptor (AR) widely used in managing castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). AHR was found upregulated in different Enzalutamide-resistant (ENZR) prostate cancer cell lines. Knocking down AHR significantly decreased the growth of CWR-R1ENZR and C4-2BENZR cells. To elucidate the underlying mechanism of AHR-mediated growth, we transcriptionally profiled CWR-R1ENZR and C4-2BENZR cells stably expressing control and two AHR-targeting shRNAs. AHR maintained androgen response in CWR-R1ENZR cells likely through driving the expression of many genes targeted by both the androgen receptor and glucocorticoid receptor. Interestingly, knockding down AHR did not have the same effect in C4-2BENZR cells. Instead of strengthing AR signaling, AHR maintained features of neuroendocrine differentiation, an AR-independent mechanism of ENZ resistance, in C4-2BENZR cells. Our results supported that AHR regulates transcriptional networks promoting ENZ resistance in a lineage-dependent manner and holds great potential as a therapeutic target.

Transcriptome analysis of Enzalutamide-sensitive and -resistant CWR-R1, C4-2B, and VCaP cells

Project description:Enzalutamide (ENZ) is an inhibitor of the androgen receptor (AR) widely used in managing castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, ENZ is not curative due to the resistance CRPC inevitably develops. We hypothesize that there are commonly necessary elements of ENZ resistance in cells with different genetic mutations and treatment history. This study aims to identify differentially expressed genes in Enzalutamide-sensitive (ENZS) and ENZ-resistant (ENZR) C4-2B, CWR-R1, VCaP human prostate cell lines. We have identified 114 commonly upregulated genes in all three ENZR celll lines, which will be subjected to further investigation for their roles in ENZ resistance.

AHR plays important roles in mediating diverse responses to Enzalutamide in prostate cancer

Project description:Enzalumatide (ENZ) is a widely used second generation nonsteroidal Androgen Receptor inhibitor that is integral in managing castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, resistance inevitably develops in months and limits the clinical benefits of ENZ. AHR is commonly upregulated in ENZ-resistant (ENZR) cell lines and is essential for ENZR CRPC growth in vitro and in vivo. Interestingly, the canonical AHR xenobiotic pathway does not seem to play a role. To characterize, for the first time, transcriptional targets of AHR in prostate cancer, we performed ChIP-seq of AHR and H3K9ac, a marker of active chromatin, in CWR-R1ENZR cells. An AHR knockdown cell line is also included to identify the difference of AHR trancriptional action. ChIP-seq results revealed that AHR binds to multiple genes targeted by AR and glucocorticoid receptor (GR), a well-established mechanism bypassing the AR blockade of ENZ. Furthermore, AHR also binds to many marker genes of neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation, a feature indicating AR-independence and clinical aggressiveness in prostate cancer. Together, these results depict AHR as an important regulator of reponses to ENZ in CRPC.

A Novel Peptide Encoded by circSRCAP Confers Resistance to Enzalutamide by Inhibiting the Ubiquitin-Dependent Degradation of AR-V7 in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Project description:Background: The sustained activation of androgen receptor splice variant-7 (AR-V7) is a key factor in the resistance of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients to second-generation anti-androgen (AR) drugs such as enzalutamide (ENZ). The AR/AR-V7 protein is regulated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase STUB1 and a protein complex formed by HSP70. However, the specific mechanism remains elusive. Methods: High-throughput RNA sequencing was employed to detect differentially expressed circular RNAs (circRNAs) in ENZ-resistant and control CRPC cells. The coding potential of circSRCAP was identified through polysome profiling and LC-MS. The function of circSRCAP was validated in vitro and in vivo via gain or loss of function assays. Mechanistic insights were derived from immunoprecipitation analyses. Results: A novel ENZ-resistant circular RNA (circRNA) named circSRCAP has been identified, showing upregulation in ENZ-resistant C4-2B cells (ENZR-C4-2B) and correlation with elevated protein levels of AR-V7. circSRCAP undergoes cleavage into a loop by the splicing factor EIF4A3 and is derived from the nucleus by the RNA helicase DDX39A. Mechanistically, circSRCAP encodes a 75 amino acid peptide, circSRCAP-75aa, which inhibits the ubiquitination of the AR/AR-V7's co-chaperone protein HSP70 by dissociating STUB1, a ubiquitin E3 ligase. This process leads to the upregulation of AR-V7 protein expression, thereby promoting resistance of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cells to ENZ. Xenograft tumor models further confirm the role of circSRCAP in CRPC progression and its potential as a therapeutic target for ENZ-resistant CRPC (ENZR-CRPC). Conclusions: circSRCAP presents an epigenetic mechanism that sheds light on the fate determination of AR-V7, offering a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of ENZR-CRPC.

ROR-Î³ drives androgen-receptor expression and represents a therapeutic target in castration-resistant prostate cancer

Project description:The androgen receptor (AR) is overexpressed and hyperactivated in human castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, the determinants of AR overexpression in CRPC are poorly defined. Here we show that retinoic acid receptorârelated orphan receptor Î³ (ROR-Î³) is overexpressed and amplified in metastatic CRPC tumors, and that ROR-Î³ drives AR expression in the tumors. ROR-Î³ recruits nuclear receptor coactivator 1 and 3 (NCOA1 and NCOA3, also known as SRC-1 and SRC-3) to an ARâROR response element (RORE) to stimulate AR gene transcription. ROR-Î³ antagonists suppress the expression of both AR and its variant AR-V7 in prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines and tumors. ROR-Î³ antagonists also markedly diminish genome-wide AR binding, H3K27ac abundance and expression of the AR target gene network. Finally, ROR-Î³ antagonists suppressed tumor growth in multiple AR-expressing, but not AR-negative, xenograft PCa models, and they effectively sensitized CRPC tumors to enzalutamide, without overt toxicity in mice. Taken together, these results establish ROR-Î³ as a key player in CRPC by acting upstream of AR and as a potential therapeutic target for advanced PCa. A total of 6 samples were analyzed in this study. The study included one cell line C4-2B. C4-2B cells were cultured in medium containing vehicle control and/or SR2211 and/or XY011 and/or Enzalutamide (ENZ). The untreated C4-2B cells served as controls for the study.

LNCAP xenograft prostate cancer progression model in NOD-SCID mice

Project description:Xenografts are useful in vivo tumour models for investigating cancer progression, therapeutic responses and predicting anti-cancer drug response in patients with cancer of a similar phenotype. We have generated bulk RNA-seq data from LNCaP xenografts of a large and well-annotated prostate cancer progression study, investigating responsiveness and subsequent resistance to therapies targeting the androgen receptor (AR). LNCaP xenograft tumour establishment and initial growth are dependent on androgens in male mice (PRE-CX / pre-castration group). Upon castration, AR activity and tumour growth are suppressed (POST-CX / post-castration group), however, this initial responsiveness to castration reproducibly gives way to castration-resistance (CRPC / castration-resistant prostate cancer). Further treatment of CRPC with the AR targeting drug enzalutamide (ENZ) initially provides a therapeutic response (ENZ Sensitive; ENZS), however, resistance emerges in time (ENZ Resistant; ENZR).

Identification of HOXB13 binding sites in metastatic PC treated with Enzalutamide

Project description:HOXB13 is a developmentally regulated transcription factor, co-expressed along with the Androgen receptor (AR) in a majority of PCs. Previous studies have indicated context dependent roles of HOXB13 in the functional regulation of AR and enrichment of HOXB13 motifs in the AR cistrome. Our studies showed that genetic or pharmacological blockade of HOXB13 sensitized mCRPCs to Enzalutamide (ENZ, Xtandi), an anti-androgen that is currently deployed to treat mCRPC patients. To identify HOXB13-mediated mechanism of castration-resistance ChIP-sequencing was performed with the HOXB13-K13ac, or IgG antibodies in the metastatic prostate cancer cell line, C4-2B in vehicle treated as well as Enzalutamide treated cell lines. We demonstrated for the first time that BRD4, epigenetically regulates HOXB13 gene expression in PCs. Consistently, JQ1 the prototype BET inhibitor suppresses HOXB13 expression and inhibit mCRPC growth. ChIP-sequence analysis reveals that HOXB13 recruitment to the chromatin is not completely abrogated in Enzalutamide treated cells identify a subset of genes that may have potential role in CRPC proliferation, anti-androgen resistance and metastasis.

High-throughput profiling of mRNA from parental and Enzalutamide resistant C4-2b prostate cancer cell lines

Project description:We established an enzalutamide-resistant C4-2b prostate cell line that has an active androgen receptor by maintaining the C4-2b cell line in serially increasing concentrations of enzalutamide. Among the CRPC cell lines, we selected the C4-2b cell line because it is known to have AR variants, and we desired to identify enzymes with the ability to regulate the activity of AR variants as well as the wild type AR. After 2 months, we acquired resistant cells in even 10 uM enzalutamide. After validation of enzalutamide-resistant character, we analyzed global changes in mRNA expression by using quantitative mRNA-sequencing analysis.
