Single-cell analysis of castration-resistant prostate cancers to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of neuroendocrine prostate cancer

ABSTRACT: The high heterogeneity and low percentage of neuroendocrine cells in prostate cancer limit the utility of traditional bulk RNA sequencing and even single-cell RNA sequencing to find better biomarkers for early diagnosis and stratification. Re-clustering of specific cell-type holds great promise for identification of intra-cell-type heterogeneity. However, this has not yet been used in studying neuroendocrine prostate cancer heterogeneity. Neuroendocrine cluster(s) were individually identified in each castration-resistant prostate cancer specimen and combined for trajectory analysis. Three neuroendocrine states were identified. Neuroendocrine state 2 with the highest AR score was considered the initial starting state of neuroendocrine transdifferentiation. State 1 and state 3 with distinct high neuroendocrine scores and marker genes enriched in N-Myc and REST target genes, respectively, were considered as two different types of neuroendocrine differentiated cancer cells. These two states contained distinct groups of prostate cancer biomarkers and a strong distinguishing ability of normal versus cancerous prostate across different pathological grading was found in the N-Myc-associated state. Our data highlight the central role of N-Myc and REST in mediating lineage plasticity and classifying neuroendocrine phenotypes.

Genome-wide characterization of REST binding regions in LNCaP prostate cancer cells

Project description:Transcriptional regulator REST plays a key role in repressing neuronal specific genes in prostate cancer and other non-neuronal tissues. Moreover, loss of REST is observed in neuroendocrine prostate tumors. Here, we use ChIP-seq analysis to study genome–wide REST occupied regions in the prostate cancer cell line, LNCaP. REST occupied regions were then correlated to gene expression changes occurring between prostate adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine prostate tumors in vivo.

Proteostasis perturbation of N-Myc by HSP70 inhibition improves treatment in neuroendocrine prostate cancer

Project description:N-Myc is a key driver of neuroendocrine tumors, such as neuroblastoma and neuroendocrine prostate cancer. However, N-Myc is considered undruggable because it lacks clear binding sites for small molecules. One potential way to circumvent this challenge is to identify and target the protein homeostasis proteostasis systems that maintain N-Myc levels. Here we developed a novel spontaneously indefinite prostate cancer cell line UCDCaP and its paired castration-resistant line UCDCaP-CR, which exhibits neural lineage plasticity and high levels of N-Myc protein expression. Through rapid immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry assay, we revealed that heat shock protein 70, HSP70 is a top partner for N-Myc. HSP70 is known to function in protein folding and it also coordinates with the E3 ubiquitin ligase, STIP1 homology and U-box containing protein 1, STUB1, to regulate oncoprotein degradation. We find that HSP70 binds a conserved SELILKR motif and prevents the access of STUB1 on N-Myc possibly through steric hindrance. When HSP70 dwell time on N-Myc is increased by the conformational change of HSP70, STUB1 is in close proximity with N-Myc and becomes functional to promote N-Myc ubiquitination on the K416 and K419 sites of the bHLH-LZ domain and form the poly ubiquitination chains linked by the K11 and K63 sites.

N-Myc induces an EZH2-mediated transcriptional program driving Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer

Project description:The transition from castration resistant prostate adenocarcinoma (CRPC) to neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is emerging as an important mechanism of treatment resistance. NEPC are associated with over-expression and gene amplification of MYCN (encoding N-Myc). N-Myc is a bona fide driver oncogene in several rare tumor types, but its role in prostate cancer progression is not well established. Integrating a novel genetically engineered mouse model and human prostate cancer transcriptome data, we show that N-Myc over-expression leads to the development of poorly differentiated, invasive prostate cancer that is molecularly similar to human NEPC tumors which includes an abrogation of AR signaling and induction of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 signaling and that N-Myc interacts with AR and this interaction depends on Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2. Altogether, our data shows that N-Myc drives the neuroendocrine phenotype in prostate cancer.

RNA splicing factors SRRM3 and SRRM4 distinguish molecular phenotypes of castration-resistant neuroendocrine prostate cancer [methylation]

Project description:Neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) usually develops through cellular plasticity. We recently characterized two mCRPC phenotypes with NE features; Androgen receptor (AR)-positive, NE-positive amphicrine prostate cancer (AMPC) and AR-negative small cell or neuroendocrine prostate cancer (SCNPC). Here, we interrogate the RE-1 silencing transcription factor (REST) pathway in mCRPC and demonstrate that SRRM3 has analogous functions to SRRM4 and mediates NE differentiation through alternative splicing of REST. We scrutinize transcriptome datasets across species and tumor types and discover that SRRM3 and SRRM4 expression define molecular phenotypes in AMPC and SCNPC. Notably, we characterize two AMPC phenotypes driven by either REST attenuation or ASCL1 activity and three SCNPC phenotypes with progressive activation of neuronal transcription factor programs. Together, our data provides a biological framework for classifying NE phenotypes in mCRPC that could be useful for future therapeutic development and precision medicine applications.

Role of Specialized Composition of SWI/SNF Complexes in Prostate Cancer Lineage Plasticity

Project description:Advanced prostate cancer initially responds to hormonal treatment, but ultimately becomes resistant and requires more potent therapies. One mechanism of resistance seen in 10% of these patients is through lineage plasticity, which manifests in a partial or complete small cell or neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) phenotype. Here, we investigate the role of the mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex in NEPC. Using large patient datasets, patient-derived organoids and cancer cell lines, we identify SWI/SNF subunits that are deregulated in NEPC, demonstrate that SMARCA4 (BRG1) overexpression is associated with aggressive disease and that SMARCA4 depletion impairs prostate cancer cell growth. We also show that SWI/SNF complexes interact with different lineage-specific factors in prostate adenocarcinoma and in NEPC cells, and that induction of lineage plasticity through depletion of REST is accompanied by changes in SWI/SNF genome occupancy. These data suggest a specific role for mSWI/SNF complexes in therapy-related lineage plasticity, which may be relevant for other solid tumors.

Proteostasis perturbation of N-Myc by HSP70 inhibition improves treatment in neuroendocrine prostate cancer II

Project description:N-Myc is a key driver of neuroendocrine tumors, such as neuroblastoma and neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). However, N-Myc is considered undruggable because it lacks clear binding sites for small molecules. One potential way to circumvent this challenge is to identify and target the protein homeostasis (proteostasis) system(s) that maintain N-Myc levels. Here we developed a novel spontaneously indefinite prostate cancer cell line UCDCaP and its paired castration-resistant line UCDCaP-CR, which exhibits neural lineage plasticity and high levels of N-Myc protein expression. Through rapid immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry assay, we revealed that heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a top partner for N-Myc. HSP70 is known to function in protein folding and it also coordinates with the E3 ubiquitin ligase, STIP1 homology and U-box containing protein 1 (STUB1), to regulate oncoprotein degradation. We find that HSP70 binds a conserved ‘SELILKR’ motif and prevents the access of STUB1 on N-Myc possibly through steric hindrance. When HSP70’s dwell time on N-Myc is increased by the conformational change of HSP70, STUB1 is in close proximity with N-Myc and becomes functional to promote N-Myc ubiquitination on the K416 and K419 sites of the bHLH-LZ domain and form the poly ubiquitination chains linked by the K11 and K63 sites. Inhibition of HSP70’s ATPase activity by an allosteric inhibitor, JG231, promoted degradation of N-Myc through enhancing STUB1 binding in the nucleus. Notably, JG231 significantly suppressed NEPC tumor growth and limited expression of neuroendocrine related pathways. Guided by a potential bypass route of N-Myc turnover in the cancer cell, we find that dual targeting of Aurora kinase A (AURKA) and HSP70 drastically suppressed N-Myc and tumor growth in NEPC.
