Project description:Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed and second-most lethal cancer among men in the United States. The vast majority of prostate cancer deaths are due to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) â?? the lethal form of the disease that has progressed despite therapies that interfere with activation of androgen receptor (AR) signaling. One emergent resistance mechanism to medical castration is synthesis of intratumoral androgens that activate the AR. This insight led to the development of the AR antagonist enzalutamide. However, resistance to enzalutamide invariably develops, and disease progression is nearly universal. One mechanism of resistance to enzalutamide is an F877L mutation in the AR ligand-binding domain that can convert enzalutamide to an agonist of AR activity. However, mechanisms that contribute to the agonist switch had not been fully clarified, and there were no therapies to block AR F877L. Using cell line models of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), we determined that cellular androgen content influences enzalutamide agonism of mutant F877L AR. Further, enzalutamide treatment of AR F877L-expressing cell lines recapitulated the effects of androgen activation of F877L AR or wild-type AR. Because the BET bromodomain inhibitor JQ-1 was previously shown to block androgen activation of wild-type AR, we tested JQ-1 in AR F877L-expressing CRPC models. We determined that JQ-1 suppressed androgen or enzalutamide activation of mutant F877L AR and suppressed growth of mutant F877L AR CRPC tumors in vivo, demonstrating a new strategy to treat tumors harboring this mutation.

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.

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.

Project description:Enzalutamide (formerly MDV3100 and available commercially as Xtandi), a novel androgen receptor (AR) signaling inhibitor, blocks the growth of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in cellular model systems and was shown in a clinical study to increase survival in patients with metastatic CRPC. Enzalutamide inhibits multiple steps of AR signaling: (1) binding of androgens to AR, (2) AR nuclear translocation, and (3) association of AR with DNA. Here we used Affymetrix human genome microarray technology to investigate the global programme of gene expression of LNCaP cells in response to enzalutamide alone and in the context of DHT-stimulated androgen receptor gene expression. LNCaP cells were grown in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 5% hormone depleted FBS and treated with vehicle (control sample) , DHT (100 nM), enzalutamide (1 or 10 M-BM-5M) or DHT (100 nM) plus enzalutamide (1 or 10 M-BM-5M)for 16 hours for RNA extraction and hybridization. Each condition was done in triplicate.

Project description:Enzalutamide, a second-generation androgen receptor (AR) antagonist, has demonstrated clinical benefit in men with prostate cancer. However, it only provides a temporary response and modest increase in survival, indicating a rapid evolution of resistance. Previous studies suggest that enzalutamide may function as a partial transcriptional agonist, but the underlying mechanisms for enzalutamide-induced transcription remain poorly understood. Here, we show that enzalutamide stimulates expression of a novel subset of genes distinct from androgen-responsive genes. Treatment of prostate cancer cells with enzalutamide enhances recruitment of pioneer factor GATA2, AR, Mediator subunits MED1 and MED14, and RNA Pol II to regulatory elements of enzalutamide-responsive genes. Mechanistically, GATA2 functions in directing AR, Mediator and Pol II loading to enzalutamide-responsive gene loci. Importantly, the GATA2 inhibitor K7174 inhibits enzalutamide-induced transcription by decreasing binding of the GATA2/AR/Mediator/Pol II transcriptional complex, contributing to sensitization of prostate cancer cells to enzalutamide treatment. Our findings provide mechanistic insight into the future combination of GATA2 inhibitors and enzalutamide for improved AR-targeted therapy.

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR)-targeting prostate cancer drugs, which are predominantly competitive ligand binding domain (LBD)-binding antagonists, are inactivated by common resistance -mechanisms. It is important to develop next-generation mechanistically-distinct drugs to treat castration- and drug- resistant prostate cancers. Here, we describe a second-generation AR pan-antagonist (UT-34) that degrades the AR and AR splice variants. UT-34 inhibits the wild-type and LBD mutant ARs comparably and inhibits the in vitro proliferation and in vivo growth of enzalutamide-sensitive and resistant prostate cancer xenografts. In preclinical models, UT-34 induced the regression of enzalutamide-resistant tumors at doses when the AR is degraded; but, at lower doses when the AR is just antagonized, it inhibits, without shrinking, the tumors. This indicates that degradation might be a prerequisite for tumor regression. Mechanistically, UT-34 promotes a conformation that is distinct from the LBD-binding competitive antagonist, enzalutamide, and degrades the AR through the ubiquitin proteasome mechanism. UT-34 has a broad safety margin and exhibits no cross-reactivity with G-Protein Coupled Receptor, kinase, and nuclear receptor family members. Collectively, UT-34 exhibits the properties necessary for a next-generation prostate cancer drug. MR49F cells (n=3-4/group) were maintained in charcoal-stripped serum containing medium for 48 hours and treated with vehicle, 0.1 nM R1881, or 10 uM of UT-34 in combination with 0.1 nM R1881. Twenty four hours after treatment, the cells were harvested, RNA was isolated and expression of genes was measured using microarray (Affymetrix Clarion S) UT-34 is a selective androgen receptor degrader that degrades and antagonizes the AR. UT-34 binds to the AF-1 domain of the AR and degrades the AR through ubiquitin proteasome pathways. The transcriptome study was performed to evaluate the ability of UT-34 to antagonize the enzalutamide-resistant AR function.

Project description:Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States. The androgen receptor (AR) antagonist enzalutamide is a FDA-approved drug for treatment of patients with late-stage prostate cancer and is currently under clinical study for early-stage prostate cancer treatment. After a short positive response period to enzalutamide, tumors will develop drug resistance. In this study, we uncovered that DNA methylation was deregulated in enzalutamide-resistant cells. DNMT activity and DNMT3B expression were upregulated in resistant cell lines. Enzalutamide induced the expression of DNMT3A and DNMT3B in prostate cancer cells with a potential role of p53 and pRB in this process. The overexpression of DNMT3B3, a DNMT3B variant, promoted an enzalutamide-resistant phenotype in C4-2B cell lines. Inhibition of DNA methylation and DNMT3B knockdown induced a re-sensitization to enzalutamide. Decitabine treatment in enzalutamide-resistant cells induced a decrease of the expression of AR-V7 and changes of genes for apoptosis, DNA repair and mRNA splicing. Combination treatment of Decitabine and enzalutamide induced a decrease of tumor weight, Ki-67 and AR-V7 expression and an increase of cleaved-caspase3 levels in 22Rv1 xenografts. The collective results suggest that DNA methylation pathway is deregulated after enzalutamide resistance onset and that targeting DNA methyltransferases restores the sensitivity to enzalutamide in prostate cancer cells.
