Non-canonical functions of UGT2B17 promote castrate-resistant prostate cancer progression

ABSTRACT: When prostate cancer (PCa) overcomes the androgen receptor (AR) target therapy and progresses to the castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) stage, it becomes curable. UDP glucuronosyltransferase 2B17 (UGT2B17) is the key enzyme determining androgen bioavailability to AR inside PCa cells. However, whether UGT2B17 promotes CRPC progression remains poorly understood. Here, we report that anti-AR therapy increases UGT2B17 protein stability. UGT2B17 is localized in both the cytoplasm and nucleus to exert multiple non-enzymatic functions. In the cytoplasm, UGT2B17 activates unfolded protein response (UPR) to counteract endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress for cell survival. UGT2B17 can exert its nuclear functions by stimulating c-Src kinase to activate AR in the absence of androgens. The UGT2B17-Src axis confers PCa cells resistant to DNA damage and promotes cell cycling by passing the G2 checkpoints through de-activating ATM and ATR kinases. We conclude that these non-enzymatic functions of UGT2B17 activate multiple survival pathways to allow CRPC progression.

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 16 samples were analyzed in this study. The study included one cell line C4-2B. C4-2B cells were cultured in medium containing vehicle control or SR2211 (5 ÂµM) for 24 hours, cells then were collected for ChIP seq assay

ROR-γ 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 receptor–related orphan receptor γ (ROR-γ) is overexpressed and amplified in metastatic CRPC tumors, and that ROR-γ drives AR expression in the tumors. ROR-γ recruits nuclear receptor coactivator 1 and 3 (NCOA1 and NCOA3, also known as SRC-1 and SRC-3) to an AR–ROR response element (RORE) to stimulate AR gene transcription. ROR-γ antagonists suppress the expression of both AR and its variant AR-V7 in prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines and tumors.

FMNL2/SRC-mediated androgen receptor translocation into the nucleus promotes enzalutamide resistance of prostate cancer

Project description:Enzalutamide, a second-generation androgen receptor (AR) antagonist, has represented the association with improved overall survival in men with prostate cancer (PCa). However, PCa patients receiving enzalutamide will eventually develop resistance through various mechanisms without effective regimens. Here, we observed a higher level of formin-like 2 (FMNL2) in enzalutamide-resistant PCa cells. Functionally, FMNL2 knockdown partially re-sensitized enzalutamide-resistant PCa cells. Mechanistically, FMNL2 directly interacted with SRC kinase through FMNL2-FH1 and SRC-SH3 domain, which induced AR translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, resulting in increased expression of the AR-targeted genes and leading to resistance to enzalutamide. Consistently, SRC inhibitor dasatinib rescued enzalutamide sensitivity and inhibited the proliferation of enzalutamide-resistant cancer cells. Taken together, our findings demonstrate a substantial role for FMNL2/SRC interaction in the regulation of AR translocation, suggesting that targeting FMNL2-mediated SRC activation might be a potential therapeutic strategy for enzalutamide-resistant PCa, and dasatinib could be an option.

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.

Spermine is a natural suppressor of AR signaling in castration-resistant prostate cancer

Project description:In castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), clinical response to androgen receptor (AR) antagonists is limited mainly due to AR-variants expression and restored AR signaling. The metabolite spermine is most abundant in prostate and it decreases as prostate cancer progresses, but its functions remain poorly understood. Here, we show spermine inhibits full-length androgen receptor (AR-FL) and androgen receptor splice variant 7 (AR-V7) signaling and suppresses CRPC cell proliferation by directly binding and inhibiting protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT1. Spermine reduces H4R3me2a modification at the AR locus and suppresses AR binding as well as H3K27ac modification levels at AR target genes. Spermine supplementation restrains CRPC growth in vivo. PRMT1 inhibition also suppresses AR-FL and AR-V7 signaling and reduces CRPC growth. Collectively, we demonstrate spermine as an anticancer metabolite by inhibiting PRMT1 to transcriptionally inhibit AR-FL and AR-V7 signaling in CRPC, and we indicate spermine and PRMT1 inhibition as powerful strategies overcoming limitations of current AR-based therapies in CRPC.

Polycomb-mediated deactivation of AR-feedback loop leads to castration-resistant prostate cancer [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is a lethal disease, often characterized by aberrant androgen receptor (AR) activation independently of androgen. We have previously reported that AR can directly repress the expression of many target genes, one of which is NOV/CCN3. Here we show that NOV, primarily localized in the cytoplasm, physically interacts with AR at its Nterminus and sequesters AR and AR variants in the cytoplasm, thereby reducing AR chromatintargeting. This negative feedback loop, however, is disrupted in CRPC due to epigenetic silencing of NOV by the Polycomb group protein EZH2, rendering AR transcriptional activities and drug-resistant prostate cancer progression. Our findings thus suggest a working model wherein AR-repressed genes critically prevent CRPC through negative feedback loops inhibiting AR signaling.
