ABSTRACT: We introduce a family of multivalent peptidomimetic conjugates that modulate the activity of the androgen receptor (AR). Bioactive ethisterone ligands were conjugated to a set of sequence-specific peptoid oligomers. Certain multivalent peptoid conjugates enhance AR-mediated transcriptional activation. We identify a linear and a cyclic conjugate that exhibit potent anti-proliferative activity in LNCaP-abl cells, a model of therapy-resistant prostate cancer. The linear conjugate blocks AR action by competing for ligand binding. In contrast, the cyclic conjugate is active despite its inability to compete against endogenous ligand for binding to AR in vitro, suggesting a non-competitive mode of action. These results establish a versatile platform to design competitive and non-competitive AR modulators with potential therapeutic significance. We use microarray analysis to further elucidate the mechanism of AR antagonism and show that the compounds (cyc and n=8) are distinct. We used microarray analysis to see genone-wide effects on LNCaP-abl cells with moduators of AR activity LNCaP-abl cells were treated with compound and RNA was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays Treatments: Vehicle is just Ethanol treated LNCaP-abl cells that were used as a control. n=8 and cyc are peptoid conjugates that modulate AR activity. n=8 is linear and cyc is a cyclic compounds. We wanted to look at gene expression when LNCaP-abl cells were treated with these compounds to show that they are distinct. C3 is a small molecule that inhibits the interaction between AR and beta-catenin (co-regulator protein). Initial results with this compound show potent anti-proliferative activity in LNCaP-abl cells and we wanted to further investigate the mechanism of action of this compound.

Sustained treatment of prostate cancer with androgen receptor (AR) antagonists can evoke drug resistance, leading to castrate-resistant disease. Elevated activity of the AR is often associated with this highly aggressive disease state. Therefore, new therapeutic regimens that target and modulate AR activity could prove beneficial. We previously introduced a versatile chemical platform to generate competitive and non-competitive multivalent peptoid oligomer conjugates that modulate AR activity. I ...[more]

Project description:The androgen receptor (AR) is a mediator of both androgen-dependent and castration- resistant prostate cancers. Identification of cellular factors affecting AR transcriptional activity could in principle yield new targets that reduce AR activity and combat prostate cancer, yet a comprehensive analysis of the genes required for AR-dependent transcriptional activity has not been determined. Using an unbiased genetic approach that takes advantage of the evolutionary conservation of AR signaling, we have conducted a genome-wide RNAi screen in Drosophila cells for genes required for AR transcriptional activity and applied the results to human prostate cancer cells. We identified 45 AR-regulators, which include known pathway components and genes with functions not previously linked to AR regulation, such as HIPK2 (a protein kinase) and MED19 (a subunit of the Mediator complex). Depletion of HIPK2 and MED19 in human prostate cancer cells decreased AR target gene expression and, importantly, reduced the proliferation of androgen-dependent and castration-resistant prostate cancer cells. We also systematically analyzed additional Mediator subunits and uncovered a small subset of Mediator subunits that interpret AR signaling and affect AR-dependent transcription and prostate cancer cell proliferation. Importantly, targeting of HIPK2 by an FDA approved kinase inhibitor phenocopied the effect of depletion by RNAi and reduced the growth of AR-positive, but not AR negative, treatment-resistant prostate cancer cells. Thus, our screen has yielded new AR regulators including drugable targets that reduce the proliferation of castration-resistant prostate cancer cells. HIPK2 and MED19 were identified via a genome-wide RNAi screen as new androgen receptor (AR) reulators. Our goal in performing this microarray was to identify the gene regulated by HIPK2 and MED19 in a late stage prostate cancer cell line (LNCaP-abl), and to see what genes are in common with known genes to be regulated by AR, and what genes are unique to HIPK2 or MED19. Knockdown of HIPK2 and MED19 was tested in LNCaP-abl cells against control. Each was performed in duplicates. Six samples were analyzed
