Project description:Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) shed into blood from primary cancers include putative precursors that initiate distal metastases. While these cells are extraordinarily rare, they may identify cellular pathways contributing to the blood-borne dissemination of cancer. Here, we adapted a microfluidic device for efficient capture of CTCs from an endogenous mouse pancreatic cancer model and subjected CTCs to single-molecule RNA sequencing, identifying Wnt2 as enriched in CTCs. Expression of Wnt2 in pancreatic cancer cells suppresses anoikis, enhances anchorage-independent sphere formation, and increases metastatic propensity in vivo. The effect of Wnt2 is correlated with fibronectin upregulation, and it is mediated in part through non-canonical Wnt signaling and suppressed by inhibition of the Map3k7 (Tak1) kinase, an integrator of Wnt, BMP and TGF-beta signaling. In humans, formation of non-adherent tumour spheres by pancreatic cancer cells is associated with upregulation of multiple Wnt genes, and pancreatic CTCs revealed significant enrichment for non-canonical Wnt signaling in 5 of 11 cases. Thus, molecular analysis of CTCs may identify novel therapeutic targets to prevent the distal spread of cancer. Expression profiling of circulating tumor cells in human pancreatic cancer patients support a hypothesis that WNT signaling plays a role in pancreatic cancer metastasis.

Expression profiling of primary tumor, circulating tumor cells and ascites in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer suggested WNT signaling plays a role in pancreatic cancer metastasis. Induction of Wnt2 signaling in mouse pancreatic NB508 cells supported the hypothesis.

Project description:Prostate cancer is initially responsive to androgen deprivation, but the effectiveness of androgen receptor (AR) inhibitors in recurrent disease is variable. Biopsy of bone metastases is challenging, hence sampling circulating tumor cells (CTCs) may reveal drug resistance mechanisms. We established single cell RNA-sequencing profiles of 77 intact CTCs isolated from 13 patients (mean 6 CTCs/patient) using microfluidic enrichment. Single CTCs from each individual display considerable heterogeneity, including expression of AR gene mutations and splicing variants. Retrospective analysis of CTCs from patients progressing on AR inhibitor, compared with untreated cases indicates activation of noncanonical Wnt signaling (P=0.0064). Ectopic expression of Wnt5a in prostate cancer cells attenuates the antiproliferative effect of AR inhibition, while its suppression in drug-resistant cells restores partial sensitivity, a correlation also evident in an established mouse model. Thus, single cell analysis of prostate CTCs reveals heterogeneity in signaling pathways that could contribute to treatment failure. A total of 221 single candidate prostate CTCs were isolated from 18 patients with metastatic prostate cancer and 4 patients with localized prostate cancer. Of these, 133 cells (60%) had RNA of sufficient quality for amplification and next generation RNA sequencing, and 122 (55%) had >100,000 uniquely aligned sequencing reads. In addition to candidate CTCs, we also obtained comprehensive transcriptomes for 12 bulk primary prostate cancers (macrodissected for >70% tumor content), 30 single cells derived from four different prostate cancer cell lines, and 5 patient-derived leukocyte controls. The leukocytes were readily distinguished by their expression of hematopoietic lineage markers and served to exclude any CTCs with potentially contaminating signals. Strict expression thresholds were used to define lineage-confirmed CTCs, scored by prostate lineage-specific genes (PSA, PSMA, AMACR, AR) and standard epithelial markers (KRT7, KRT8, KRT18, KRT19, EpCAM). 28 cells were excluded given the presence of leukocyte transcripts suggestive of cellular contamination or misidentification during selection, and 17 cells were excluded given low expression of both prostate lineage-specific genes and 5 standard epithelial markers. The remaining 77 cells, defined as lineage-confirmed CTCs, displayed expression of either prostate lineage-specific or epithelial genes, and low expression of leukocyte-specific genes, consistent with their tumor of origin.

Project description:Next generation androgen receptor (AR) signaling inhibitors have significantly improved the survival of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCPRC) but resistance remains a problem. Genomic alterations at the AR locus are present in ~50% of mCRPC patients, typically in association with large numbers of copy number gains and losses across the genome. To explore the functional consequences of these copy number alterations, we screened an shRNA library targeting all genes deleted in prostate cancer (the prostate cancer deletome: 4380 shRNAs targeting 730 genes) for next generation antiandrogen resistance using a clinically-validated model of enzalutamide-sensitive, AR-driven mCRPC LNCaP/AR. The Chromatin helicase DNA-binding factor (CHD1) scored as a top candidate and was validated in vitro and in vivo using multiple independent shRNAs and CRISPR guides. Mechanistically, CHD1 loss led to global changes in open and closed chromatin (ATAC-seq) as well as downregulation of canonical AR target genes upon the challenge of antiandrogen, despite robust AR expression. Integrative analysis of ATAC- and RNA-seq changes following CHD1 deletion identified 23 candidate transcription factor drivers of enzalutamide resistance. CRISPR-based unbiased functional screening identified 4 of these drivers may drive the AR-independent resistance, including glucocorticoid receptor (GR), BRN2, NR2F1 and TBX2. Genetic studies further establish that CHD1 loss confers antiandrogen resistance by converting mCRPC cells from AR-dependence to GR-dependence in one of the resistant LNCaP/AR clone. Thus, CHD1 functions as a molecular tuner to regulate chromatin plasticity and maintain oncogenic AR signaling, as well as AR dependency.

Project description:Prostate cancer relapsing from antiandrogen therapies can exhibit variant histology with altered lineage marker expression, suggesting lineage plasticity facilitates therapeutic resistance. Mechanisms underlying prostate cancer lineage plasticity are unknown, and relevant experimental models are needed. We demonstrate Rb1 loss facilitates lineage plasticity and metastasis of prostate adenocarcinoma initiated by Pten mutation in the mouse. Additional loss of Trp53 causes resistance to antiandrogen therapy. Gene expression profiling indicates mouse tumors are comparable to human prostate cancer neuroendocrine variants; both mouse and human tumors exhibit increased expression of epigenetic reprogramming factors like Ezh2 and Sox2. Clinically relevant Ezh2 inhibitors restore androgen receptor expression and sensitivity to antiandrogen therapy. These findings uncover genetic mutations enabling prostate cancer progression, identify mouse models for studying prostate cancer lineage plasticity, and suggest an epigenetic approach for extending clinical responses to antiandrogen therapy.
