Serum Proteomics on the Basis of Discovery of Predictive Biomarkers of Response to Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Advanced Prostate Cancer.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:We investigated the serum proteome of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients to determine candidate biomarkers associated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) efficacy. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Serum proteomes generated using isobaric mass tags for relative and absolute quantitation were analyzed using reverse-phase liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. The advanced hormone-sensitive prostate cancer cohorts studied were: (1) untreated "paired" pre-ADT and 4-month post-ADT hormone-sensitive patients (n = 15); (2) "early ADT failure" patients (n = 10) in whom ADT treatment failed within a short period of time; and (3) "late ADT failure" patients (n = 10) in whom ADT treatment failed after a prolonged response time. Differential abundance was assessed, and ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) was used to identify interaction networks in selected candidates from these comparisons. RESULTS:Between "post-ADT" and combined "early" and "late" ADT failure groups 149 differentially detected candidates were observed, and between "early" and "late" ADT failure groups 98 candidates were observed; 47 candidates were common in both comparisons. IPA network enrichment analysis of the 47 candidates identified 3 interaction networks (P < .01) including 17-?-estradiol, nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancer of activated B cells complex, and P38 mitogen-activated protein kinases as pathways with potential markers of response to ADT. CONCLUSION:A global proteomic analysis identified pathways with markers of ADT response, which will need validation in independent data sets.

Project description:BackgroundAndrogen-deprivation therapy (ADT) is standard treatment for locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). Many patients develop castration resistance (castration-resistant PCa [CRPC]) after approximately 2-3 yr, with a poor prognosis. The molecular mechanisms underlying CRPC progression are unclear.ObjectiveTo undertake quantitative tumour transcriptome profiling prior to and following ADT to identify functionally important androgen-regulated pathways or genes that may be reactivated in CRPC.Design, setting, and participantsRNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed on tumour-rich, targeted prostatic biopsies from seven patients with locally advanced or metastatic PCa before and approximately 22 wk after ADT initiation. Differentially regulated genes were identified in treatment pairs and further investigated by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) on cell lines and immunohistochemistry on a separate CRPC patient cohort. Functional assays were used to determine the effect of pathway modulation on cell phenotypes.Outcome measurements and statistical analysisWe searched for gene expression changes affecting key cell signalling pathways that may be targeted as proof of principle in a CRPC in vitro cell line model.Results and limitationsWe identified ADT-regulated signalling pathways, including the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway, and observed overexpression of β-catenin in a subset of CRPC by immunohistochemistry. We validated 6 of 12 (50%) pathway members by qRT-PCR on LNCaP/LNCaP-AI cell RNAs, of which 4 (67%) demonstrated expression changes consistent with RNA-seq data. We show that the tankyrase inhibitor XAV939 (which promotes β-catenin degradation) reduced androgen-independent LNCaP-AI cell line growth compared with androgen-responsive LNCaP cells via an accumulation of cell proportions in the G0/G1 phase and reduction in the S and G2/M phases. Our biopsy protocol did not account for tumour heterogeneity, and pathway inhibition was limited to pharmacologic approaches.ConclusionsRNA-seq of paired PCa samples revealed ADT-regulated signalling pathways. Proof-of-principle inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway specifically delays androgen-independent PCa cell cycle progression and proliferation and warrants further investigation as a potential target for therapy for CRPC.

Project description:IntroductionHigh folate has an association with advanced prostate cancer and levels of testosterone. Herein, we perform a translational study to investigate the inverse response of serum folate in prostate cancer patients initiating androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and a mirrored animal model.MethodsA retrospective study was performed using the South Texas Veterans Healthcare System to identify patients with prostate cancer on ADT. We documented testosterone and folate levels before and after ADT initiation (defined by a reduction in testosterone by 50 ng/ml) as compared to those already on ADT (maintenance). Our primary outcome was overall mortality with secondary outcome of prostate cancer-specific mortality. In parallel, we tested castration of C57BL/6J mice on folate-defined diet to determine if folate levels change with response to androgen deprivation. Students' t test on continuous variables and Chi-squared test on dichotomous variables was performed along with Kaplan-Meier for time to event analysis.ResultsWe identified 56 men with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation in which folate levels had been determined. 15 out of 16 (94%) men initiating ADT had increases in their folate, which is substantially more than 67% in maintenance group (P = 0.04). We identified more rapid time to death from prostate cancer if folate levels increased to levels >200 ng/ml above their baseline (P = 0.03). Mice models demonstrated a significant rise in serum red blood cell folate after mice were castrated (P = 0.03) by an average of 1.5x over pre-castrated baseline level. By contrast, sham-castrated mice showed no increase in serum folate levels over baseline.ConclusionOur study suggests that men with substantial rises in folate after initiating ADT may be associated with worse prostate cancer-specific and overall survival. Our translational experiments in mice confirmed correlation between rising in folate levels post-castration. Given this study, further investigation is warranted on the role of dietary folate consumption during initiation of ADT and progression to castrate-resistant prostate cancer.
