Project description:Circular RNA (circRNA) is a class of noncoding RNA with regulatory potentials. It is unexplored how they may be functionally involved in the transdifferentiation of prostate and lung adenocarcinoma to neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Here we identified an exceptionally abundant circRNA circRMST predominantly expressed in NEPC and SCLC and conserved between humans and mice. Using shRNA, siRNA, CRISPR-Cas13 and Cas9, we consistently showed that circRMST is essential for tumour growth and for the expression of ASCL1, a master regulator of neuroendocrine fate. Genetic knockout of Rmst in NEPC genetic engineered mouse models led to a prevention of neuroendocrine transdifferentiation and sustained tumours in adenocarcinoma state. Mechanistically, circRMST physically interacts with lineage transcription factors NKX2-1 and SOX2. Loss of circRMST induces NKX2-1 protein degradation through autophagy-lysosomal pathway and alters the genomic binding of SOX2, which collectively leads to the loss of ASCL1 transcription.

Project description:Potent therapeutic inhibition of the androgen receptor (AR) in prostate adenocarcinoma can lead to the emergence of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), a phenomenon associated with enhanced cell plasticity. Here, we show that microRNA-194 (miR-194) is a regulator of epithelial-neuroendocrine transdifferentiation. In clinical prostate cancer samples, miR-194 expression and activity were elevated in NEPC and inversely correlated with AR signalling. Over-expression of miR-194 facilitated the emergence of neuroendocrine features in prostate cancer cells, a process mediated by its ability to directly target a suite of genes involved in cell plasticity. One such target gene was FOXA1, which encodes a transcription factor with a vital role in maintaining the prostate epithelial lineage. Importantly, a miR-194 inhibitor blocked epithelial-neuroendocrine transdifferentiation and inhibited the growth of cell lines and patient-derived organoids possessing neuroendocrine features. Overall, our study reveals a post-transcriptional mechanism regulating the plasticity of prostate cancer cells and provides a rationale for targeting miR-194 in NEPC.

Project description:Small-cell neuroendocrine (SCN) transdifferentiation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) are recognized as two kinds of lineage plasticity and they emerged as a model of targeted therapy evasion in a subset of EGFR-mutated NSCLC. Whether SCN transdifferentiation could phenocopy in isogenic acquired resistant clinically relevant cells and the association between EMT and SCN transdifferentiation remain unknown. We established several mesenchymal gefitinib-acquired resistant cells from HCC827 and showed SCN transdifferentiation could evolve from mesenchymal drug-tolerant state. The SCN property and the mesenchymal property in cancer cells are negatively correlated. Dynamic IL-6, correlated with mesenchymal property, could reflect this process and it might be a ready-to-use biomarker to monitor this process.

Project description:The transdifferentiation from adenocarcinoma following androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is thought to be the primary process leading to the development of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). However, it remains unclear how lineage factors interact with ADT to endow the lineage transition. Through an integrated analysis of NEPC-based CRISPR-Cas9 screening and scRNA-seq tracking of tumor transitions, we unveil that antiandrogen-induced ZMYND8-dependent epigenetic programming orchestrates the transdifferentiation of NEPC. We demonstrate that the ablation of Zmynd8 restricts NEPC development in Pten/Trp53/Rb1 knockout mouse models. Conversely, ASCL1-induced upregulation of ZMYND8 shapes the neuroendocrine (NE) lineage to confer resistance to AR-targeted therapy. Mechanistically, FOXM1, a key regulator in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), stabilizes ZMYND8 binding to chromatin regions harboring H3K4me1-K14ac modification and FOXM1 targeting. Antiandrogen treatment frees the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex from AR, enabling its interaction with ZMYND8/FOXM1 to upregulate key NE lineage regulators (e.g., FOXA2, SOX2, and POU3F2), thus inducing transdifferentiation. Having identified ZMYND8's link to adverse disease outcomes in CRPC patients, we develop a small molecule, ZMYND8i-34, designed to selectively inhibit its histone recognition. In pre-clinical models, ZMYND8i-34 treatment effectively blocks NE transdifferentiation and curtails CRPC development. Together, our results highlight the importance of antiandrogen treatment endowing ZMYND8-dependent epigenetic reprogramming to orchestrate lineage fate and suggest that targeting ZMYND8 may hold the potential to restrict NEPC development and overcome treatment resistance.

Project description:While cell fate determination and maintenance are important in establishing and preserving tissue identity and function during development, aberrant cell fate transition leads to cancer cell heterogeneity and resistance to treatment. Here, we report an unexpected role for the transcription factor p63 (Trp63/TP63) in the fate choice of squamous versus neuroendocrine lineage in esophageal development and malignancy. Deletion of p63 results in extensive neuroendocrine differentiation in the developing mouse esophagus and esophageal progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells. In human esophageal neuroendocrine carcinoma (eNEC) cells, p63 is transcriptionally silenced by EZH2-mediated H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3). Upregulation of the major p63 isoform ΔNp63α, through either ectopic expression or EZH2 inhibition, promotes squamous transdifferentiation of eNEC cells. Together these findings uncover p63 as a rheostat in coordinating the transition between squamous and neuroendocrine cell fates during esophageal development and tumor progression.
