Project description:No approved therapy exists for cancer-associated cachexia. The colon-26 mouse model of cancer cachexia mimics recent late stage clinical failures of anabolic anti-cachexia therapy, and was unresponsive to anabolic doses of diverse androgens, including the selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) GTx-024. The histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) AR-42 exhibited anti-cachectic activity in this model. We explored combined SARM/AR-42 therapy as an improved anti-cachectic treatment paradigm. A reduced dose of AR-42 provided limited anti-cachectic benefits, but, in combination with GTx-024, significantly improved body weight, hind limb muscle mass, and grip strength versus controls. AR-42 suppressed the IL-6/GP130/STAT3 signaling axis in muscle without impacting circulating cytokines. GTx-024-mediated β-catenin target gene regulation was apparent in cachectic mice only when combined with AR-42. Our data suggest cachectic signaling in this model involves catabolic signaling insensitive to anabolic GTx-024 therapy and a blockade of GTx-024-mediated anabolic signaling. AR-42 mitigates catabolic gene activation and restores anabolic responsiveness to GTx-024. Combining GTx-024, a clinically established anabolic therapy, with AR-42, a clinically evaluated HDACi, represents a promising approach to improve anabolic response in cachectic patients.

Project description:The role of the androgen receptor (AR) in estrogen receptor alpha (ER) positive breast cancer is controversial, constraining implementation of AR-directed therapies. Using a diverse, clinically relevant panel of cell-line and patient-derived models, we demonstrate that AR activation, not suppression, exerts potent anti-tumor activity in multiple disease contexts, including resistance to standard-of-care ER and CDK4/6 inhibitors. Importantly, AR agonists combined with standard-of-care agents enhanced therapeutic responses. Mechanistically, agonist activation of AR altered the genomic distribution of ER and essential co-activators (p300, SRC-3), resulting in repression of ER-regulated cell cycle genes and up-regulation of AR target genes, including known tumor suppressors. A gene signature of AR activity positively predicted disease survival in multiple clinical ER+ breast cancer cohorts. These findings provide unambiguous evidence that AR has a tumor suppressor role in ER+ breast cancer and support AR agonism as the optimal AR-directed treatment strategy, revealing a rational therapeutic opportunity.

Project description:Although molecular apocrine and some triple negative breast cancer tumours express high levels of AR, how AR signalling impacts their proliferative rate remains an area of controversy. The precise molecular mechanisms by which the AR can induce divergent proliferative effects in estrogen receptor-negative breast cancers has not been described. The potent androgen, DHT, inhibits proliferation of the MFM-223 estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer cell line. In contrast, activation of the AR by DHT either stimulates, or has no effect, on MDA-MB-453 cell proliferation. The AR cistrome was examined in order to identify candidate factors which mediate oncogenic versus tumour suppressive AR activity in ER-negative breast cancer.

Project description:We have previously identified a family of novel androgen receptor (AR) ligands that, upon binding, enable AR to adopt structures distinct from that observed in the presence of canonical agonists. In this report, we describe the use of these compounds to establish a relationship between AR structure and biological activity with a view to defining a rational approach with which to identify useful Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs). As one of the approaches, we used a DNA microarray analysis to demonstrate that differently conformed receptors facilitate distinct patterns of gene expression in LNCaP cells. Interestingly, we observed a complete overlap in the identity of genes expressed following treatment with mechanistically distinct AR ligands. However, it was differences in the kinetics of gene regulation that distinguished these compounds. Follow-up studies, in cell-based assays of AR action, confirmed the importance of these alterations in gene expression. Together these studies demonstrate an important link between AR structure, gene expression and biological outcome.

Project description:GATA3 transcription factor is considered critical for luminal development and differentiation in normal and malignant mammary epithelial cells (MECs). The androgen receptor (AR) has also been associated with luminal gene expression profiles in breast cancer, independent of the estrogen receptor (ER), and has been shown to promote a basal to luminal phenotype transition in mouse MECs. To date, the potential interaction of GATA3 and AR in transcriptional regulation of lineage driver genes in breast cancer has never been investigated. Our unbiased proteomic analysis identified GATA3 as a novel AR interacting protein in a variety of breast cancer cell types regardless of ER expression. We showed that AR and GATA3 interact in the cytoplasm and nucleus of normal and malignant breast epithelia, an interaction increased by androgen treatment. Androgen stimulation of breast cancer cells also induced nuclear translocation of AR and GATA3 and resulted in enrichment of co-localized AR and GATA3 chromatin binding events. Using ER+ and/or ER- breast cancer cell lines and ER+ patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of breast cancer, we identified a conserved subset of AR agonist-induced AR and GATA3 co-occupied cis-regulatory elements across all models. Knockdown experiments indicated that GATA3 acts as an AR co-regulator to upregulate transcription of known luminal-lineage genes (e.g. EHF, AQP3, and KDM4B) and downregulate basal-lineage genes (e.g. SMAD3 and ELK3). Also, we showed an induction in the chromatin accessibility at those subsets of common AR-GATA3 cis-regulatory elements, which drive the luminal lineage identity in breast cancer upon androgen stimulation. Collectively, AR-GATA3 interaction and function provide a mechanism underpinning epithelial breast cancer cells that are classified as having a luminal mature transcriptome independent of ER status, through regulating the expression of lineage-restricted markers.
