Epigenetic and transcriptional analysis reveals a core transcriptional program conserved in clonal prostate cancer metastases.

ABSTRACT: The epigenomic regulation of transcriptional programs in metastatic prostate cancer is poorly understood. We studied the epigenomic landscape of prostate cancer drivers using transcriptional profiling and ChIP-seq in four clonal metastatic tumors derived from a single prostate cancer patient. Our epigenomic analyses focused on androgen receptor (AR), which is a key oncogenic driver in prostate cancer, the AR pioneer factor FOXA1, chromatin insulator CCCTC-Binding Factor, as well as for modified histones H3K27ac and H3K27me3. The vast majority of AR binding sites were shared among healthy prostate, primary prostate cancer, and metastatic tumor samples, signifying core AR-driven transcriptional regulation within the prostate cell lineage. Genes associated with core AR-binding events were significantly enriched for essential genes in prostate cancer cell proliferation. Remarkably, the metastasis-specific active AR binding sites showed no differential transcriptional output, indicating a robust transcriptional program across metastatic samples. Combined, our data reveal a core transcriptional program in clonal metastatic prostate cancer, despite epigenomic differences in the AR cistrome.

Epigenetic and transcriptional analysis reveals a core transcriptional program conserved in clonal prostate cancer metastases [RNA-seq]

Project description:We performed transcriptional profiling and chromatin immunoprecipitation for the key oncogenic driver in prostate cancer, Androgen Receptor (AR) and FOXA1, H3K27ac, H3K27me3 and CTCF to chart the epigenomic landscape in four clonal metastatic tumors from a single prostate cancer patient whose clinical course was closely followed over 17 years. The vast majority (~80% ) of all AR binding sites were shared among all samples and found in normal prostate tissue and primary prostate cancers signifying core binding events within the prostate lineage. Remarkably, active (H3K27ac marked) metastatic sample-specific AR binding sites showed no differential transcriptional output, indicating a robustness of transcriptional programming across different metastases samples.

A core program of gene expression characterizes cancer metastases.

Project description:While aberrant expression or splicing of metastasis genes conveys to cancers the ability to break through tissue barriers and disseminate, the genetic basis for organ preference in metastasis formation has remained incompletely understood. Utilizing the gene expression profiles from 653 GEO datasets, we investigate whether the signatures by diverse cancers in various metastatic sites display common features. We corroborate the meta-analysis in a murine model. Metastases are generally characterized by a core program of gene expression that induces the oxidative metabolism, activates vascularization/tissue remodeling, silences extracellular matrix interactions, and alters ion homeostasis. This program distinguishes metastases from their originating primary tumors as well as from their target host tissues. Site-selectivity is accomplished through specific components that adjust to the target micro-environment. The same functional groups of gene expression programs are activated in the metastases of B16-F10 cells to various target organs. It remains to be investigated whether these genetic signatures precede implantation and thus determine organ preference or are shaped by the target site and are thus a consequence of implantation. Conceivably, chemotherapy of disseminated cancer might be more efficacious if selected to match the genetic makeup of the metastases rather than the organ of origin by the primary tumor.

Frequent clonal relations between metastases and non-index prostate cancer lesions.

Project description:Primary prostate cancer lesions are clonally heterogeneous and often arise independently. In contrast, metastases were reported to share a monoclonal background. Because prostate cancer mortality is the consequence of distant metastases, prevention of metastatic outgrowth by primary tumor ablation is the main focus of treatment for localized disease. Focal therapy is targeted ablation of the primary index lesion, but it is unclear whether remaining primary lesions metastasize at a later stage. In this study, we compared copy number aberration profiles of primary prostate cancer lesions with matching pelvic lymph node metastases of 30 patients to establish clonality between a lymph node metastasis and multiple primary lesions within the same patient. Interestingly, in 23.3% of the cases, the regional metastasis was not clonally linked to the index primary lesion. These findings suggest that focal ablation of only the index lesion is potentially an undertreatment of a significant proportion of prostate cancer patients.

Single-cell analysis of clonal maintenance of transcriptional and epigenetic states in cancer cells.

Project description:Propagation of clonal regulatory programs contributes to cancer development. It is poorly understood how epigenetic mechanisms interact with genetic drivers to shape this process. Here, we combine single-cell analysis of transcription and DNA methylation with a Luria-Delbrück experimental design to demonstrate the existence of clonally stable epigenetic memory in multiple types of cancer cells. Longitudinal transcriptional and genetic analysis of clonal colon cancer cell populations reveals a slowly drifting spectrum of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transcriptional identities that is seemingly independent of genetic variation. DNA methylation landscapes correlate with these identities but also reflect an independent clock-like methylation loss process. Methylation variation can be explained as an effect of global trans-acting factors in most cases. However, for a specific class of promoters-in particular, cancer-testis antigens-de-repression is correlated with and probably driven by loss of methylation in cis. This study indicates how genetic sub-clonal structure in cancer cells can be diversified by epigenetic memory.

Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase sustains a core epigenetic program that promotes metastatic colonization in breast cancer

Project description:Metastatic colonization of distant organs accounts for over 90% of deaths related to solid cancers, yet the molecular determinants of metastasis remain poorly understood. Here, we unveil a mechanism of colonization in the aggressive basal-like subtype of breast cancer that is driven by the NAD+ metabolic enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). We demonstrate that NNMT imprints a basal genetic program into cancer cells enhancing their plasticity. Inline, NNMT expression is associated with poor clinical outcome in breast cancer patients. Accordingly, ablation of NNMT dramatically suppresses metastasis formation in pre-clinical mouse models. Mechanistically, NNMT depletion results in a methyl overflow that increases histone H3K9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) and DNA methylation at the promoters of PR/SET Domain-5 (PRDM5) and extracellular matrix related genes. PRDM5 emerged in this study as a pro-metastatic gene acting via induction of cancer-cell intrinsic transcription of collagens. Depletion of PRDM5 in tumor cells decreases COL1A1 deposition and impairs the metastatic colonization of the lungs. These findings reveal a critical activity of the NNMT-PRDM5-COL1A1 axis for cancer cell plasticity and metastasis in basal-like breast cancer.
