Increased ABCC4 Expression Induced by ERR? Leads to Docetaxel Resistance via Efflux of Docetaxel in Prostate Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Docetaxel is a major treatment for advanced prostate cancer (PCa); however, its resistance compromises clinical effectiveness. Estrogen receptor-related receptor alpha (ERR?) belongs to an orphan nuclear receptor superfamily and was recently found to be closely involved in cancer. In the present study, we found that ERR? was involved in docetaxel resistance in PCa. Overexpression of ERR? conferred docetaxel resistance in PCa cell lines, and cells with ERR? downregulation were more sensitive to docetaxel. Among the drug resistance-related genes, ABCC4 demonstrated synchronous expression after ERR? manipulation in cells. Moreover, both ERR? and ABCC4 were overexpressed in the docetaxel-resistant cell, which could be reversed by ERR? knockdown. The knockdown of ERR? also reversed the reduced drug accumulation in the docetaxel-resistant cell. We also demonstrated for the first time that ABCC4 was a direct target of ERR? as determined by the CHIP and luciferase assays. Bioinformatics analysis revealed high expression of ERR? and ABCC4 in PCa patients, and a number of potential ERR?/ABCC4 targets were predicted. In conclusion, our study demonstrated a critical role for ERR? in docetaxel resistance by directly targeting ABCC4 and stressed the importance of ERR? as a potential therapeutic target for drug-resistant PCa.

Project description:BackgroundHormone-refractory prostate cancer remains hindered by inevitable progression of resistance to first-line treatment with docetaxel. Recent studies suggest that phenotypic changes associated with cancer may be transferred from cell-to-cell via microvesicles/exosomes. Here we aimed to investigate phenotypic changes associated with docetaxel-resistance in order to help determine the complexity of this problem and to assess the relevance of secreted exosomes in prostate cancer.Methodology/principal findingsDocetaxel-resistant variants of DU145 and 22Rv1 were established and characterised in terms of cross-resistance, morphology, proliferation, motility, invasion, anoikis, colony formation, exosomes secretion their and functional relevance. Preliminary analysis of exosomes from relevant serum specimens was also performed. Acquired docetaxel-resistance conferred cross-resistance to doxorubicin and induced alterations in motility, invasion, proliferation and anchorage-independent growth. Exosomes expelled from DU145 and 22Rv1 docetaxel-resistant variants (DU145RD and 22Rv1RD) conferred docetaxel-resistance to DU145, 22Rv1 and LNCap cells, which may be partly due to exosomal MDR-1/P-gp transfer. Exosomes from prostate cancer patients' sera induced increased cell proliferation and invasion, compared to exosomes from age-matched controls. Furthermore, exosomes from sera of patients undergoing a course of docetaxel treatment compared to matched exosomes from the same patients prior to commencing docetaxel treatment, when applied to both DU145 and 22Rv1 cells, showed a correlation between cellular response to docetaxel and patients' response to treatment with docetaxel.Conclusions/significanceOur studies indicate the complex and multifaceted nature of docetaxel-resistance in prostate cancer. Furthermore, our in vitro observations and preliminary clinical studies indicate that exosomes may play an important role in prostate cancer, in cell-cell communication, and thus may offer potential as vehicles containing predictive biomarkers and new therapeutic targets.
