Project description:The standard of care for patients with advanced form of prostate cancer, castration-resistant, now includes enzalutamide, a second generation antiandrogen. However, most of the treated patients will develop resistance to enzalutamide based therapy in around a year, succumbing to lethal disease. Investigating the transcriptome of enzalutamide-resistant prostate cancer cell lines, we identified CXCR7 as one of the most upregulated genes suggesting its role in advanced prostate cancer. CXCR7, known as an atypical G-coupled receptor, is engaged in many physiological and pathological processes. Here we show that in prostate cancer CXCR7 is tightly regulated by androgen receptor (AR), which directly binds to CXCR7 gene promoter and enhancer and represses its transcription. In turn, CXCR7 in prostate cancer reduces enzalutamide toxicity and promotes cell survival and invasiveness. We identified that CXCR7 forms an integral complex with ARRB2 and activates ERK1/2, eliciting pro-survival MAPK pathway. Enzalutamide treatment combined with MAPKK specific inhibitor, trametinib, reversed enzalutamide resistance in prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo. Taken together our findings highlight the critical role of CXCR7 in enzalutamide-resistant prostate cancer and open an avenue for developing novel anti-CXCR7 therapies to improve survival in patients with advanced prostate cancer.

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:Prostate cancer C4-2B cells were cultured in enzalutamide in a dose-escalation manner. After sixty passages cells were resistant to enzalutamide, with a specific sets of genes been deregulated. We performed global gene expression analysis by cDNA microarrays to identify genes responsible for enzalutamide resistance in C4-2B-MDVR cells. Enzalutamide resistant C4-2B-MDVR cells were selected from C4-2B cells during long time enzalutamide treatment. Genes responsible for enzalutamide resistance were identified using C4-2B vs. C4-2B-MDVR RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Constitutively active AR variants are truncated proteins lacking the c-terminal region containing the ligand binding domain (LBD) and the activation function 2 (AF-2). The expression of these AR variants in CRPC was also associated with the resistance to novel therapies such as enzalutamide and abiraterone acetate. These variants are also involved in tumor progression.

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:Analysis of enzalutamide- and/or olaparib-responsive gene expression in prostate cancer cells. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that enzalutamide influences the expression of genes that are involved in important bioprocesses in prostate cance rcells, including DNA damage response genes and this effect may synergize with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor olaparib in cytotoxicity to prstate cancer cells. prostate cancer cells were pretreated with enzalutamide or vehicle control DMSO for 24 h, followed by treatment with enzalutamide, olaparib, enzalutamide+olaparib, or vehicle control DMSO for 48 h. Gene expression in enzalutamide+olaparib-treated cells was compared with taht in vehicle control- and single agent-treated cells.
