FABP5 Inhibition against PTEN-Mutant Therapy Resistant Prostate Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Resistance to standard of care taxane and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) causes the vast majority of prostate cancer (PC) deaths worldwide. We have developed RapidCaP, an autochthonous genetically engineered mouse model of PC. It is driven by the loss of PTEN and p53, the most common driver events in PC patients with life-threatening diseases. As in human ADT, surgical castration of RapidCaP animals invariably results in disease relapse and death from the metastatic disease burden. Fatty Acid Binding Proteins (FABPs) are a large family of signaling lipid carriers. They have been suggested as drivers of multiple cancer types. Here we combine analysis of primary cancer cells from RapidCaP (RCaP cells) with large-scale patient datasets to show that among the 10 FABP paralogs, FABP5 is the PC-relevant target. Next, we show that RCaP cells are uniquely insensitive to both ADT and taxane treatment compared to a panel of human PC cell lines. Yet, they share an exquisite sensitivity to the small-molecule FABP5 inhibitor SBFI-103. We show that SBFI-103 is well tolerated and can strongly eliminate RCaP tumor cells in vivo. This provides a pre-clinical platform to fight incurable PC and suggests an important role for FABP5 in PTEN-deficient PC.

Project description:Clinically, most prostate cancer (PCa) patients inevitably progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with poor prognosis after androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), including abiraterone, the drug of choice for ADT. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the resistance mechanism of abiraterone in depth. Genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout technology was used to screen CRPC cell line 22Rv1 for abiraterone-resistant genes. Combined with bioinformatics, a key gene with high expression and poor prognosis in CRPC patients was screened. Then, the effects of target gene on abiraterone-resistant 22Rv1 cell function were explored by silencing and overexpression. Further, a natural product with potential targeting effect was identified and validated by molecular docking and protein expression. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed potential mechanism for the natural product affecting target protein expression. Finally, the combined anti-CRPC effects of the natural product and abiraterone were validated by cellular and in vivo experiments. Five common resistance genes (KCNJ3, COL2A1, PPP1CA, MDH2 and EXOSC5) were identified successfully, among which high PPP1CA expression had the worst prognosis for disease-free survival. Moreover, PPP1CA was highly expressed in abiraterone-resistant 22Rv1 cells. Silencing PPP1CA increased cell sensitivity to abiraterone while promoting apoptosis and inhibiting clone formation. Overexpressing PPP1CA exerted the opposite effects. Molecular docking revealed the binding mode of the natural product nodularin-R to PPP1CA with a dose-dependent manner for inhibition. Mechanistically, nodularin-R attenuates the interaction between PPP1CA and USP11 (deubiquitinating enzyme), potentially promoting PPP1CA degradation. Additionally, combination of 2.72 μM nodularin-R and 54.5 μM abiraterone synergistically inhibited the resistant 22Rv1 cell function. In vivo experiments also revealed that combination therapy significantly inhibited tumour growth and reduced inducible expression of PPP1CA. PPP1CA is a key driver for abiraterone resistance, and nodularin-R enhances the anti-CRPC effects of abiraterone by inhibiting PPP1CA.
