Project description:Prostate cancer is dependent on androgen receptor (AR) signaling at all stages of the disease and cyclin D1 has been shown to negatively modulate the expression of the AR-dependent gene prostate specific antigen (KLK3/PSA). Unbiased gene expression profiling was performed to determine the androgen-regulated geneset that is sensitive to cyclin D1. Androgen-sensitive LNCaP cells were straved of androgen, then transduced with control green fluorescent protein (GFP) or cyclin D1 (CCND1) adenovirus, then subsequently stimulated with control (Ethanol) or dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Project description:Cyclin D1b is a splice variant of the cell cycle regulator Cyclin D1 and is known to harbor divergent and highly oncogenic functions in human disease. While Cyclin D1b is induced during disease progression in many cancer types, the mechanisms underlying Cyclin D1b function remain poorly understood. Herein, models of human disease were utilized to resolve the downstream pathways requisite for the pro-tumorigenic functions of Cyclin D1b. Specifically, it was shown that Cyclin D1b modulates the expression of a large transcriptional network that cooperates with AR signaling to enhance tumor cell growth and invasive potential. Notably, Cyclin D1b promoted AR-dependent activation of genes associated with metastatic phenotypes. Further exploration determined that transcriptional induction of SNAI2 (Slug) was essential for Cyclin D1b- mediated proliferative and invasive properties, implicating Slug as a critical driver of disease progression. Importantly, Cyclin D1b expression highly correlated with that of Slug in clinical samples of advanced disease. Further, in vivo analyses provided strong evidence that Slug enhances both tumor growth and homing to distal soft tissues. Collectively, these findings reveal the underpinning mechanisms behind the pro-tumorigenic functions of Cyclin D1b, and demonstrate that the convergence of the Cyclin D1b-AR and Slug pathways results in the activation of processes critical for the promotion of lethal tumor phenotypes. Analysis of transcriptomes under the control of individual D-type cyclin isoforms in the hormone dependent prostate cancer cell line LNCaP in the presence and absence of androgen. LNCaP cells cultured in charcoal dextran treated media were transduced with virus encoding Cyclin D1a, Cyclin D1b, or control GFP for 24 hours in biological triplicate. Cells were then stimulated with either 1nM DHT or 0.01% EtOH (vehicle control) for 16 hours and harvested for RNA

Project description:We report the androgen receptor recruitment to the chromatin of androgen responsive prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP-1F5 and VCaP in response to physiological androgen 5a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) using ChIP-sequencing. We compare the AR recruitment by DHT to that by partial agonist/antagonist cyproterone acetate and mifepristone (RU486) in LNCaP-1F5 cells. We also report the role of glucocorticoid receptor recruitment in presence of dexamethasone (Dex) in androgen responsive prostate cancer cells. The AR and GR cistrome analysis is subsequently compared with gene expression data and RNA Pol II analysis. The ChIP-seq has been performed using AR, GR, RNA Pol II antibodies. Expression profiling by microarray of LNCaP-1F5 cells treated with vehicle, 100 nM 5a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), 100 nM dexamethasone (Dex), 1000 nM cyproterone acetate (CPA), 100 nM mifepristone (RU486) and combination of 100 nM DHT,100 nM Dex for 24 hours.

Project description:LSD1 (also known as KDM1A) is a histone demethylase and a key regulator of gene expression in embryonic stem cells and cancer. LSD1 was initially identified as a transcriptional repressor via its demethylation of active histone H3 marks (di-methyl lysine 4 [2MK4]). In prostate cancer, specifically, LSD1 also co-localizes with the AR and demethylates repressive 2MK9 histone marks from androgen-responsive AR target genes, facilitating androgen-mediated induction of AR-regulated gene expression and androgen-induced proliferation in androgen-dependent cancers. Recently, it was shown that treatment with high doses of androgens (e.g.10-fold higher doses than those required for induction of expression of androgen-activated genes such as PSA) recruits LSD1 and AR to an enhancer within the AR; this AR and LSD1 recruitment represses AR transcription. Thus, LSD1 appears to play a role in mediating both the proliferative and repressive phases of the biphasic androgen dose-response curve. For these reasons, we hypothesized that LSD1 might be important for maintenance of AR signalling in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) tumors. However, in this report, we describe a distinct role of LSD1 as a driver of proliferation and survival of prostate cancer cells, including CRPC cells, irrespective of androgens or even AR expression. Specifically, LSD1 activates expression of cell cycle, mitosis, and embryonic stem cell maintenance pathways that are enriched in lethal prostate cancers - pathways not activated by androgens. Finally, we observe that treatment with a new LSD1 inhibitor potently and specifically suppresses LSD1 function and suppresses CRPC growth and survival in vitro and in vivo. Our data place LSD1 as a key driver of androgen-independent survival in lethal prostate cancers and demonstrate the potential of LSD1-directed therapies in the near-term. The enclosed files are from microarrays experiments after suppressing LSD1 with RNAi or stimulating cells with the androgen agonist dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Project description:Microarray experiments were carried out to ascertain whether TOP2β is required for DHT induced androgen receptor target gene expression. We investigated the effect of pharmacological inhibition or RNA interference-mediated depletion of TOP2β on gene expression in androgen-dependent LNCaP prostate cancer cells. Analysis of gene expression in LNCaP cells under various conditions including serum starvation, DHT treatment, and DHT treatment combined with TOPO2B pharmacological inhibitors (Merbarone and Etoposide) and TOPO2B-shRNA knockdown.

Project description:The androgen receptor (AR) is a ligand-inducible transcription factor that mediates androgen action in target tissues. Upon ligand binding, the AR binds to thousands of genomic loci and activates a cell-type specific gene program. Prostate cancer growth and progression depend on androgen-induced AR signalling. Treatment of advanced prostate cancer through medical or surgical castration leads to initial response and durable remission, but resistance inevitably develops. In castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), AR activity remains critical for tumor growth despite androgen deprivation. While previous studies have focused on ligand-dependent AR signalling, in this study we explore AR function under the androgen-deprived conditions characteristic of CRPC. Our data demonstrate that the AR persistently occupies a distinct set of genomic loci after androgen deprivation in CRPC. These androgen-independent AR occupied regions have constitutively open chromatin structures that lack the canonical androgen response element and are independent of FoxA1, a transcription factor involved in ligand-dependent AR targeting. Many AR binding events occur at proximal promoters, which can act as enhancers to augment transcriptional activities of other promoters through DNA looping. We further show that androgen-independent AR binding directs a distinct gene expression program in CRPC, which is necessary for the growth of CRPC after androgen withdrawal. LNCaP, C4-2B, or 22RV1 cells were cultured in hormone-free media for 3 days and then treated with ethanol vehicle or DHT (10nM) for 4h or 16h prior to ChIP-seq or RNA-seq assays. For siRNA transfection, cells were transfected with AR siRNA or control siRNA for 3 days prior to RNA-seq assays.

Project description:The androgen receptor (AR) mediates the action of androgens by binding to androgen-responsive elements (AREs) and subsequently regulating target genes involved in prostate carcinogenesis. The precise locations, true nature, and functional roles of AREs in human prostate cancer are still unknown. Here we redefine AREs by motif-resolution AR chromatin immunoprecipitation-exonuclease (ChIP-exo) assay in human prostate cancer cells and tumors. Surprisingly, we find that, in addition to canonical full-length AREs and half-site-like AREs, a significant portion of the four redefined ARE categories comprises non-canonical full-length AREs. The redefined AREs in enhanced AR binding regions in prostate tumors versus paired non-malignant adjacent tissues regulate a prostate cancer-relevant gene network not only centered on AR, but more interestingly, on novel AR target genes mTOR, BIRC5 and BCL2L1 involved in prostate cancer cell growth and survival. The precise redefinition of AREs has important implications for understanding how AR contributes to prostate carcinogenesis. To examine the differential AR binding in LNCaP cells before and after androgen stimulation, ChIP-Seq of androgen receptor is performed in LNCaP cells under the two conditions. To profile histone modification status in control LNCaP cells, MNase-Seq is performed with five different antibodies specific to certain histone marks. Each experiment includes two replicates.
