Project description:Treatment-induced neuroendocrine prostate cancer (t-NEPC) is a lethal subtype of castration-resistant prostate cancer resistant to androgen receptor (AR) inhibitors. Our study unveils that AR suppresses neuronal development protein dihydropyrimidinase-related protein 5 (DPYSL5), providing a mechanism for neuroendocrine transformation under androgen deprivation therapy. Our unique CRPC-NEPC cohort with 157 patient samples, including 55 t-NEPC patient samples, shows a high expression of DPYSL5 in t-NEPC patients, and that DPYSL5 correlates with neuroendocrine markers and inversely with AR and PSA. DPYSL5 overexpression in prostate cancer cells induces neuron like phenotype, enhances invasion, proliferation, and upregulates stemness and neuroendocrine related markers. Mechanistically, DPYSL5 promotes prostate cancer cell plasticity via EZH2-mediated PRC2 activation. Depletion of DPYSL5 halts proliferation, induces G1 phase cell cycle arrest, reverses neuroendocrine phenotype and upregulates luminal genes. In conclusion, DPYSL5 plays a critical role in regulating prostate cancer cell plasticity, and we propose the AR/DPYSL5/EZH2/PRC2 axis as a novel driver of t-NEPC progression.

Project description:Using mass-spectrometry, we are seeking to determine the extent of methylation of EZH2 K510, K514 and K515 in the above mentioned recombinant PRC2 variants, answering the question whether recombinant mutant PRC2 is automethylated to the same or similar extent as the wt PRC2 complex.

Project description:Effective targeted therapies remain a major challenge for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Targeting the epigenome of SCLC to address immune evasion and chemoresistance offers a promising strategy to improve treatment outcomes. In this study, we investigate the role of Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), a major transcriptional repressor, by distinguishing its structural versus enzymatic functions. Conditional deletion of Eed, a core structural component of PRC2, prevented tumor formation in an autochthonous SCLC model. In contrast, enzymatic inhibition of EZH2 did not alter tumor growth. However, EZH2 inhibition significantly altered its interactome, revealing novel targets for drug development. Given that EZH2 inhibitors are clinically approved for other cancers, we conducted a focused drug screen to improve the therapeutic potential of EZH2. We found that prolonged EZH2 inhibition sensitized neuroendocrine cancer cells to G9a/GLP inhibition. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that this combination induced an oxidative stress response by modulating the expression of cellular oxidases, an effect that could be reversed by antioxidant treatment. These results highlight the critical role of PRC2 structural activity in SCLC and identify promising drug combinations to enhance the efficacy of EZH2 inhibitors.

Project description:Polycomb group proteins maintain gene expression patterns established during early development, with Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) methyltransferase a key regulator of cell differentiation, identity and plasticity. Consequently, extensive somatic mutations in PRC2, including gain- or loss- of function (GOF or LOF), are observed in human cancers. The regulation of chromatin structure by PRC2 is critically dependent on its EZH2 (Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2) subunit, which catalyzes the methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27). Recent structural studies of PRC2 revealed extensive conformational changes in the non-catalytic EZH2 N-terminal SANT-Binding Domain (SBD) during PRC2 activation, though the functional significance remains unclear. Here, we investigate how the SBD regulates PRC2 function. The domain is highly conserved in metazoans, dispensable for PRC2 assembly and chromatin localization, yet required for genome-wide histone H3K27 methylation. Further, we show that an intact SBD is necessary for the proliferation of EZH2-addicted lymphomas, and its deletion in the presence of EZH2 GOF mutations inhibits cancer cell growth. These observations provide new insights to the regulation of PRC2 activity in normal development and malignancy.

Project description:Upon EZH2 inhibitor treatment, PRC2 components EZH2 and SUZ12 are redistributed across the genome towards a small number of genomic loci that are refractory to H3K27me3 loss. Focal PRC2 accumulation and H3K27me3 retention occur primarily at CpG islands and transcription start sites of genes, with enrichment at canonical PRC2 nucleation sites. EZH2 and SUZ12 are present at low levels at actively transcribed TSSs, and this signal is lost with EZH2 inhibition.
