FOXA1: master of steroid receptor function in cancer.

ABSTRACT: FOXA transcription factors are potent, context-specific mediators of development that hold specialized functions in hormone-dependent tissues. Over the last several years, FOXA1 has emerged as a critical mediator of nuclear steroid receptor signalling, manifest at least in part through regulation of androgen receptor and oestrogen receptor activity. Recent findings point towards a major role for FOXA1 in modulating nuclear steroid receptor activity in breast and prostate cancer, and suggest that FOXA1 may significantly contribute to pro-tumourigenic phenotypes. The present review article will focus on the mechanisms, consequence, and clinical relevance of FOXA1-mediated steroid nuclear receptor signalling in human malignancy.

EP300/CREBBP acetyltransferase inhibition limits steroid receptor and FOXA1 signaling in prostate cancer cells.

Project description:The androgen receptor (AR) is a primary target for treating prostate cancer (PCa), forming the bedrock of its clinical management. Despite their efficacy, resistance often hampers AR-targeted therapies, necessitating new strategies against therapy-resistant PCa. These resistances involve various mechanisms, including AR splice variant overexpression and altered activities of transcription factors like the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and FOXA1. These factors rely on common coregulators, such as EP300/CREBBP, suggesting a rationale for coregulator-targeted therapies. Our study explores EP300/CREBBP acetyltransferase inhibition's impact on steroid receptor and FOXA1 signaling in PCa cells using genome-wide techniques. Results reveal that EP300/CREBBP inhibition significantly disrupts the AR-regulated transcriptome and receptor chromatin binding by reducing the AR-gene expression. Similarly, GR's regulated transcriptome and receptor binding were hindered, not linked to reduced GR expression but to diminished FOXA1 chromatin binding, restricting GR signaling. Overall, our findings highlight how EP300/CREBBP inhibition distinctively curtails oncogenic transcription factors' signaling, suggesting the potential of coregulatory-targeted therapies in PCa.

Androgen receptor-independent function of FoxA1 in prostate cancer metastasis.

Project description:FoxA1 (FOXA1) is a pioneering transcription factor of the androgen receptor (AR) that is indispensible for the lineage-specific gene expression of the prostate. To date, there have been conflicting reports on the role of FoxA1 in prostate cancer progression and prognosis. With recent discoveries of recurrent FoxA1 mutations in human prostate tumors, comprehensive understanding of FoxA1 function has become very important. Here, through genomic analysis, we reveal that FoxA1 regulates two distinct oncogenic processes via disparate mechanisms. FoxA1 induces cell growth requiring the AR pathway. On the other hand, FoxA1 inhibits cell motility and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through AR-independent mechanism directly opposing the action of AR signaling. Using orthotopic mouse models, we further show that FoxA1 inhibits prostate tumor metastasis in vivo. Concordant with these contradictory effects on tumor progression, FoxA1 expression is slightly upregulated in localized prostate cancer wherein cell proliferation is the main feature, but is remarkably downregulated when the disease progresses to metastatic stage for which cell motility and EMT are essential. Importantly, recently identified FoxA1 mutants have drastically attenuated ability in suppressing cell motility. Taken together, our findings illustrate an AR-independent function of FoxA1 as a metastasis inhibitor and provide a mechanism by which recurrent FoxA1 mutations contribute to prostate cancer progression.

Androgen receptor-independent function of FoxA1 in prostate cancer metastasis

Project description:FoxA1 has been shown critical for prostate development and prostate-specific gene expression regulation. In addition to its well-established role as an AR pioneering factor,several studies have recently revealed significant AR binding events in prostate cancer cells with FoxA1 knockdown. Furthermore, the role of FoxA1 itself in prostate cancer has not been carefully examined. Thus, it is important to understand the role of FoxA1 in prostate cancer and how it interacts with AR signaling. To address these questions, we generated engineered LNCaP cells with FoxA1 knockdown using shRNA or siRNA, 22RV1 cells with stable FoxA1 knockdown and PC3M cells with FoxA1 stable overexpression. We performed microarray analysis of these cells. We performed microarray analysis on LNCaP cells with FoxA1 knockdown using shRNA or siRNA, 22RV1 cells with stable FoxA1 knockdown and PC3M cells with FoxA1 stable overexpression

Steroid Receptors Reprogram FoxA1 Occupancy through Dynamic Chromatin Transitions.

Project description:The estrogen receptor (ER), glucocorticoid receptor (GR), and forkhead box protein 1 (FoxA1) are significant factors in breast cancer progression. FoxA1 has been implicated in establishing ER-binding patterns though its unique ability to serve as a pioneer factor. However, the molecular interplay between ER, GR, and FoxA1 requires further investigation. Here we show that ER and GR both have the ability to alter the genomic distribution of the FoxA1 pioneer factor. Single-molecule tracking experiments in live cells reveal a highly dynamic interaction of FoxA1 with chromatin in vivo. Furthermore, the FoxA1 factor is not associated with detectable footprints at its binding sites throughout the genome. These findings support a model wherein interactions between transcription factors and pioneer factors are highly dynamic. Moreover, at a subset of genomic sites, the role of pioneer can be reversed, with the steroid receptors serving to enhance binding of FoxA1.

How Protein Methylation Regulates Steroid Receptor Function.

Project description:Steroid receptors (SRs) are members of the nuclear hormonal receptor family, many of which are transcription factors regulated by ligand binding. SRs regulate various human physiological functions essential for maintenance of vital biological pathways, including development, reproduction, and metabolic homeostasis. In addition, aberrant expression of SRs or dysregulation of their signaling has been observed in a wide variety of pathologies. SR activity is tightly and finely controlled by post-translational modifications (PTMs) targeting the receptors and/or their coregulators. Whereas major attention has been focused on phosphorylation, growing evidence shows that methylation is also an important regulator of SRs. Interestingly, the protein methyltransferases depositing methyl marks are involved in many functions, from development to adult life. They have also been associated with pathologies such as inflammation, as well as cardiovascular and neuronal disorders, and cancer. This article provides an overview of SR methylation/demethylation events, along with their functional effects and biological consequences. An in-depth understanding of the landscape of these methylation events could provide new information on SR regulation in physiology, as well as promising perspectives for the development of new therapeutic strategies, illustrated by the specific inhibitors of protein methyltransferases that are currently available.

EP300/CREBBP acetyltransferase inhibition limits steroid receptor and FOXA1 signaling in prostate cancer cells (RNA-seq)

Project description:The androgen receptor (AR) serves as the primary target for therapeutic intervention in prostate cancer (PCa), and AR-targeted treatments constitute the cornerstone of clinical management for this malignancy. Nevertheless, their effectiveness is often compromised by the emergence of resistance mechanisms. These resistant forms of PCa persist in activating AR signaling, highlighting the urgent need for new therapeutic strategies to combat therapy-resistant PCa. Resistance to AR-targeted therapies can manifest through a multitude of mechanisms, including the overexpression of AR splice variants and altered activities of other transcription factors, such as the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and FOXA1. A shared characteristic among these transcription factors is their dependence on a common set of coregulators, with EP300/CREBBP being a prominent example. This suggests a compelling rationale for employing coregulatory-targeted therapies in the management of treatment-resistant PCa. Here, we aimed to explore the impact of EP300/CREBBP acetyltransferase inhibition on steroid receptor and FOXA1 signaling in PCa cells, employing genome-wide techniques. Our findings illuminate that EP300/CREBBP inhibition exerts a substantial disruptive effect on the AR-regulated transcriptome and receptor chromatin binding, primarily by downregulating the AR-gene. Similarly, the transcriptome regulated by GR and the chromatin binding of the receptor were also hindered, although this was not associated with decreased GR expression levels. Instead, EP300/CREBBP acetyltransferase inhibition leads to a significant reduction in FOXA1 chromatin binding, consequently constraining GR signaling. In summary, our results emphasize how EP300/CREBBP acetyltransferase inhibition distinctly curtails the signaling activities of oncogenic transcription factors, underscoring the potential effectiveness of coregulatory-targeted therapies in PCa.
