Overexpression of p54nrb/NONO induces differential EPHA6 splicing and contributes to castration-resistant prostate cancer growth.

ABSTRACT: The non-POU domain-containing octamer binding protein p54nrb/NONO is a multifunctional nuclear protein involved in RNA splicing, processing, and transcriptional regulation of nuclear hormone receptors. Through chromosome copy number analysis via whole-exome sequencing, we revealed amplification of the chromosome Xq11.22-q21.33 locus containing the androgen receptor (AR) and NONO genes in androgen-independent, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)-like LNCaP-SF cells. Moreover, NONO was frequently amplified and overexpressed in patients with CRPC. RNA sequencing data revealed that a truncated ephrin type-A receptor 6 (EPHA6) splice variant (EPHA6-001) was overexpressed in LNCaP-SF cells, and knockdown of NONO or EPHA6-001 prevented EPHA6-001 expression and reduced proliferation and invasion by LNCaP-SF cells grown under androgen deprivation conditions. Growth inhibition and differential splicing of EPHA6 mRNA by p54nrb/NONO were confirmed in gene silencing experiments in 22Rv1 PCa cells. Importantly, NONO knockdown in LNCaP-SF cells led to reduced tumor growth in castrated mice. These findings indicate that p54nrb/NONO is amplified and overexpressed in CRPC cells and clinical samples, and facilitates CRPC growth by mediating aberrant EPHA6 splicing. We therefore propose that p54nrb/NONO constitutes a novel and attractive therapeutic target for CRPC.

Project description:Background:Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle, is a side effect of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer patients. Resident stem cells of skeletal muscle, satellite cells (SCs), are an essential source of progenitors for the growth and regeneration of skeletal muscle. Decreased androgen signaling and deficits in the number and function of SCs are features of aging. Although androgen signaling is known to regulate skeletal muscle, the cellular basis for ADT-induced exacerbation of sarcopenia is unknown. Furthermore, the consequences of androgen deprivation on SC fate in adult skeletal muscle remain largely unexplored. Methods:We examined SC fate in an androgen-deprived environment using immunofluorescence and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) with SC-specific markers in young castrated mice. To study the effects of androgen deprivation on SC function and skeletal muscle regenerative capacity, young castrated mice were subjected to experimental regenerative paradigms. SC-derived-cell contributions to skeletal muscle maintenance were examined in castrated Pax7CreER/+; ROSA26mTmG/+ mice. SCs were depleted in Pax7CreER/+; ROSA26DTA/+ mice to ascertain the consequences of SC ablation in sham and castrated skeletal muscles. Confocal immunofluorescence analysis of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), and assessment of skeletal muscle physiology, contractile properties, and integrity were conducted. Results:Castration led to SC activation, however this did not result in a decline in SC function or skeletal muscle regenerative capacity. Surprisingly, castration induced SC-dependent maintenance of young skeletal muscle. The functional dependence of skeletal muscles on SCs in young castrated mice was demonstrated by an increase in SC-derived-cell fusion within skeletal muscle fibers. SC depletion was associated with further atrophy and functional decline, as well as the induction of partial innervation and the loss of NMJ-associated myonuclei in skeletal muscles from castrated mice. Conclusion:The maintenance of skeletal muscles in young castrated mice relies on the cellular contributions of SCs. Considering the well-described age-related decline in SCs, the results in this study highlight the need to devise strategies that promote SC maintenance and activity to attenuate or reverse the progression of sarcopenia in elderly androgen-deprived individuals.
