Project description:Treatment-induced neuroendocrine transdifferentiation (NEtD) complicates therapies for metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). We propose that NEtD requires first an intermediary reprogramming to metastable cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) and showed that AR+/PSA+ PCa cell lines were efficiently reprogrammed to and maintained as CSCs by growth in androgen-free neural/neural crest (N/NC) stem medium. Such reprogrammed CSCs overexpressed stem genes, had features of N/NC stem cells, high tumor-initiating potential, resistance to anti-androgen and an EMT phenotype. Serum-containing mediums allowed re-differentiation to N-/NC-derived cell lineages or return back to PCa-like cancer cells. Once returned, the cells had increased resistance to androgen signaling inhibition. Finally, a 62-gene signature derived from reprogrammed PCa cell lines distinguished tumors from PCa patients with adverse outcomes. Gene expression profiles were obtained for RNAs extracted from biological replicates of parental LNCaP cells or from Neuroendocrine-like LNCaP (LNCaP-NE) cells grown for 15 days in CSS-media with no androgen.

To compare gene expression between parental PCa cells and STM-reprogrammed cells (LNCaP, VCaP, CWR-22rv1 and LAPC4), RNAs from biological triplicate samples of parental cells and corresponding STM-reprogrammed cells (>14 days in STM) were extracted.

Project description:The goal of this study was to define the cohort of genes whose expression is regulated by JMJD5 function in prostate cancer. Towards this goal, LNCaP sublines stably expressing wld-type JMJD5 (LNCaP-JMJD5) were established. In addition, a control subline(LNCaP-Vector) was generated by transfection with empty vector. Both sublines were cultured in either androgen-deprived medium or in the presence of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Subsequently, total RNA was isolated and then subjected to microarray gene expression profiling with Affymetrix GeneChip HG-U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays. A total of 4 samples were analyzed in this study. The study included two cell lines, LNCaP-Vector and LNCaP-JMJD5, that were cultured under conditions of androgen depivation (-DHT) or supplementation with dihydrotestosterone (+DHT). The LNCaP-Vector cell line served as the control for the study.

Project description:Prostate cancer is the commonest male cancer in Europe and the USA. The androgen receptor is a key transcription factor contributing to the development of all stages of the disease. In addition, other transcription factors have been associated with poor prognosis in prostate cancer, amongst which c-Myc is a well-established oncogene in many other cancers. We have previously reported that a role for the androgen receptor in prostate cancer is to promote glycolysis and anabolic metabolism. Many of these metabolic pathways are also c-Myc-regulated in other cancers. In this study we report that de novo purine biosynthesis is a c-Myc-dependent pathway in prostate cancer cells as determined by commensurate changes in the levels of enzymes in the pathway in response to siRNA knockdown of c-Myc and inducible overexpression of c-Myc. In addition c-Myc is recruited to the promoters of genes in the pathway as determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation. Using immunohistochemistry and real-time transcript detection we show that two enzymes (PAICS and IMPDH2) within the pathway are overexpressed in prostate cancers. An inhibitor of IMPDH2 reduces cell proliferation and significantly reduces the levels of guanosine triphosphate within treated cells. This imposes nucleolar stress on cells as determined by significant reductions in the levels of guanine nucleotide binding protein-like 3 (GNL3). In addition the levels of c-Myc, p53 and the androgen receptor are affected and the expression of tumour suppressive microRNA-34b is increased. Combining the IMPDH2 inhibitor with anti-androgens results in a combinatorial inhibition of cell proliferation. In conclusion we propose using enzymes within the de novo purine biosynthesis as cancer biomarkers and applying drugs to alter the flux through this pathway may represent an effective means of stratifying patients for therapy and sensitising some to AR-targeted therapies. Total RNA of three biological replicates for each condition was extracted using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen), conditions are: 5 h vehicle, 5 h Doxycycline, 12 h vehicle, 12 h Doxycyline

Project description:The discovery that enhancers are regulated transcription units, encoding eRNAs, has raised new questions about the mechanisms of their activation. Here, we report an unexpected molecular mechanism that underlies ligand-dependent enhancer activation, based on DNA nicking to relieve torsional stress from eRNA synthesis. Using dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced binding of androgen receptor (AR) to prostate cancer cell enhancers as a model, we show rapid recruitment, within minutes, of DNA topoisomerase I (TOP1) to a large cohort of AR-regulated enhancers. Furthermore, we show that the DNA nicking activity of TOP1 is a prerequisite for robust eRNA synthesis and enhancer activation and is kinetically accompanied by the recruitment of ATR and the MRN complex, followed by additional components of DNA damage repair machinery to the AR-regulated enhancers. Together, our studies reveal a linkage between eRNA synthesis and ligand-dependent TOP1-mediated nicking - a strategy exerting quantitative effects on eRNA expression in regulating AR-bound enhancer-dependent transcriptional programs. Genome-wide binding analysis of AR, TOP1, MRE11 in prostate cancer cell line LNCaP with or without 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) treatment. Nascent RNA analysis by global nuclear run-on (GRO-seq) in LNCaP cells transfected with siRNA with or without DHT treatment. Distribution of transcriptionally engaged RNA Pol II in LNCaP cells with or without DHT treatment by precision nuclear run-on and sequencing (PRO-seq).

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).
