Histone demethylase JMJD1A promotes alternative splicing of AR variant 7 (AR-V7) in prostate cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Formation of the androgen receptor splicing variant 7 (AR-V7) is one of the major mechanisms by which resistance of prostate cancer to androgen deprivation therapy occurs. The histone demethylase JMJD1A (Jumonji domain containing 1A) functions as a key coactivator for AR by epigenetic regulation of H3K9 methylation marks. Here, we describe a role for JMJD1A in AR-V7 expression. While JMJD1A knockdown had no effect on full-length AR (AR-FL), it reduced AR-V7 levels in prostate cancer cells. Reexpression of AR-V7 in the JMJD1A-knockdown cells elevated expression of select AR targets and partially rescued prostate cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo. The AR-V7 protein level correlated positively with JMJD1A in a subset of human prostate cancer specimens. Mechanistically, we found that JMJD1A promoted alternative splicing of AR-V7 through heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein F (HNRNPF), a splicing factor known to regulate exon inclusion. Knockdown of JMJD1A or HNRNPF inhibited splicing of AR-V7, but not AR-FL, in a minigene reporter assay. JMJD1A was found to interact with and promote the recruitment of HNRNPF to a cryptic exon 3b on AR pre-mRNA for the generation of AR-V7. Taken together, the role of JMJD1A in AR-FL coactivation and AR-V7 alternative splicing highlights JMJD1A as a potentially promising target for prostate cancer therapy.

Project description:Background Studies have shown that AR-V7 may be correlated with the poor prognosis of castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), however, clinicopathological characteristics of AR-V7 have not been fully elucidated.ObjectiveThis study aimed at evaluating the clinicopathological features of AR-V7 in CRPC patients.Materials and methodsTo evaluate the clinicopathological features of AR-V7 in CRPC patients. A search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science was performed using the keywords prostate cancer, prostate tumor, prostate neoplasm, prostate carcinoma, AR-V7, AR3, androgen receptor splicing variant-7, or androgen receptor-3. Twenty-four trials published by February 2020 were included in this study.ResultsThe proportion of Gleason score ≥ 8 was found to be significantly higher in AR-V7-positive CRPC (69.5%) than negative (54.9%) (OR 1.68, 95% CI 1.25-2.25, p < 0.001), while the rates of T3/T4 stage (OR 1.16, 95% CI 0.60-2.24, p = 0.65) and N1 stage (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.65-1.51, p = 0.96) were not statistically correlated with AR-V7 status. The AR-V7-positive patients exhibited a significantly higher proportion of any site metastasis (61.3% versus 35.0%; OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.57-3.05, p < 0.001) and bone metastasis (81.7% versus 69.0%; OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.44-2.69, p < 0.001), and a trend close to significance was expected in visceral metastasis (28.8% versus 22.1%; OR 1.29, 95% CI 0.96-1.74, p = 0.09). Incidences of pain in AR-V7-positive CRPC (54.6%) were significantly higher than in negative CRPC (28.1%; OR 4.23, 95% CI 2.52-7.10, p < 0.001), line with worse ECOG performance status (56.7% versus 35.0%, OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.51-3.16, P < 0.001). Limitations of the study include differences in sample sizes and designs, AR-V7 detection assays, as well as disease characteristics of the included studies.ConclusionsAR-V7 positivity is associated with a higher Gleason score, bone or any site metastasis, pain and worse ECOG performance scores in CRPC. However, it is not correlated with tumor stage or lymph node metastasis. More studies are needed to confirm these findings.
