ANDROGEN DRIVES MELANOMA INVASIVENESS AND METASTATIC SPREAD BY INDUCING TUMORIGENIC FUCOSYLATION: Phosphoproteomics

ABSTRACT: Melanoma incidence and mortality rates are historically higher for men than women. Although emerging studies have highlighted tumorigenic roles for the male sex hormone androgen and its receptor (AR) in melanoma, cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these sex-associated discrepancies are poorly defined. Here, we delineate a previously undisclosed mechanism by which androgen-activated AR transcriptionally upregulates fucosyltransferase 4 (FUT4) expression, which drives melanoma invasiveness by interfering with adherens junctions (AJs). Global phosphoproteomic and fucoproteomic profiling, coupled with in vitro and in vivo functional validation, further reveals that AR-induced FUT4 fucosylates L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM), which is required for FUT4-increased metastatic capacity. Tumor microarray and gene expression analyses demonstrate that AR-FUT4-L1CAM-AJs signaling correlates with pathological staging in melanoma patients. By delineating key androgen-triggered signaling that enhances metastatic aggressiveness, our findings help to explain sex-associated clinical outcome disparities and highlight AR/FUT4 and its effectors as potential prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in melanoma.

Expression data of human melanoma cells plus/minus Androgen Receptor (AR) silencing by two independent shRNAs

Project description:Cancer susceptibility of male versus female individuals is significantly different in melanoma, with females showing greater survival than males. Accrued information on the role fo sex hormones in melanoma is mostly limited to estrogen signaling, with only circumstantial evidence related to androgen receptor. We used Clariom™ D GeneChip Assay to study the global gene expression changes upon silencing of AR by two independent shRNAs in three human melanoma cell lines.

single-cell RNA transcriptome sequencing revealed that androgen/AR signaling promotes neutrophil precursors proliferation in bone marrow

Project description:The liver is one of the most-favored distant metastatic sites for solid tumors, and interactions between cancer cells and components of the hepatic microenvironment are essential for liver metastasis (LM). Although sex is one of the determinants for primary liver cancer, sexual disparity/dimorphism in LM (SDLM) and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We herein demonstrated a significant male-biased SDLM, which was attributed to host androgen/androgen receptor (AR) signaling that promoted hepatic seeding of tumor cells and subsequent outgrowth in a neutrophil-dependent manner. Mechanistically, androgen/AR signaling promoted hepatic accumulation of neutrophils by promoting proliferation and development of neutrophil precursors in the bone marrow, as well as modulating hepatic recruitment of neutrophils and their functions. Antagonizing the androgen/AR/neutrophil axis significantly mitigated LM in males. Our data thus reveal an important role of androgen in LM and suggest that androgen/AR modulation represents a promising target for LM therapy in men.

L1CAM knockdown significantly reduces metastasis in a xenograft model of human melanoma

Project description:As L1CAM expression is associated with metastasis in melanoma patients, it could be a target for the combination therapies. We investigated the functional role of L1CAM in melanoma metastasis by the use of a xenograft model of human melanoma in mice using RNAi mediated L1CAM knockdown melanoma cells.

Expression data from androgen treated LNCaP cells

Project description:Androgens are required for the development of normal prostate, and they are also linked to the development of prostate cancer. We used microarrays to understand the role of androgen in an androgen dependent, androgen receptor (AR) positive human metastatic cell line, LNCaP. LNCaP cells were grown in RPMI medium and they were subjected to stay in phenol-red free, RPMI with charcoal stripped serum for 48h. Synthetic androgen R1881 was added and the cells were allowed to grow for 48h. Control cells were given with corresponding amount of ethanol as vehicle which is used for the solubilization of R1881. Cells were harvested and RNA was isolated for microarray analysis.

Comparative proteomic and transcriptomic analysis of the impact of androgen stimulation and darolutamide inhibition on prostate cancer cells

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) signaling is a major driver and therapy target in prostate cancer. Several inhibitors of AR function are approved for different stages of the disease and their impact on downstream gene transcription has been described. However, the ensuing effects of androgen and anti-androgens at the protein level are less well understood. Here, we focused on the AR inhibitor darolutamide which has recently been approved for non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Here we determined the impact of darolutamide, a recently approved AR antagonist which significantly extends progression-free and overall survival in non-metastatic CRPC (31, 32), on the prostate cancer proteome. We first determined the direct binding between darolutamide and the AR in living prostate cancer cells in a label-free context using the cellular high throughput thermal shift assay (CETSA HT). We then generated comprehensive proteomic profiles of prostate cancer cells treated with androgen and darolutamide, and compared them with transcriptomic profiles. We found a generally high concordance between proteomic and transcriptomic data, both on the level of detected expressed genes and their protein products, as well as in terms of the corresponding biological programs. However there were cases where protein and gene expression levels were not regulated in parallel, suggesting an additional post-transcriptional regulation step controlling protein abundance to occur in several instances.

Endogenous androgen receptor proteomic profiling reveals genomic subcomplex involved in prostate tumorigenesis

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) is a key player in prostate cancer development and progression. Here we applied immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry of endogenous AR in LNCaP cells to identify components of the AR transcriptional complex. In total, 66 known and novel AR interactors were identified in the presence of synthetic androgen, most of which were critical for AR-driven prostate cancer cell proliferation. A subset of AR interactors required for LNCaP proliferation were profiled using chromatin immunoprecipitation assays followed by sequencing, identifying distinct genomic subcomplexes of AR interaction partners. Interestingly, three major subgroups of genomic subcomplexes were identified, where selective gain of function for AR genomic action in tumorigenesis was found, dictated by FOXA1 and HOXB13. In summary, by combining proteomic and genomic approaches we reveal subclasses of AR transcriptional complexes, differentiating normal AR behavior from the oncogenic state. In this process, the expression of AR interactors has key roles by reprogramming the AR cistrome and interactome in a genomic location-specific manner.

Darolutamide antagonizes androgen signaling by blocking enhancer and super-enhancer activation [RNA-seq]

Project description:The androgen receptor (AR) antagonist darolutamide has very recently been approved for the treatment of non-metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (PCa). Here we determined the genome-wide effects of darolutamide on cis-acting regulatory elements involved in androgen signaling with a focus on enhancer and super-enhancer (SE) regions. Darolutamide strongly depleted the AR from regulatory elements and abolished the AR transcriptional signaling. Using two different androgen-dependent PCa cell lines we identified genomic-regions with different affinities for the AR in androgen-stimulated, androgen-depleted and darolutamide-antagonized conditions. Altogether, our findings demonstrate that darolutamide is a potent AR antagonist blocking genome-wide AR signaling and AR enhancer activation. Further, we show a dynamic AR cistrome and concomitant adapting chromatin environment to varying conditions and identified regions with high AR affinity in cell lines and tissue samples.
