A heterochromatin gene signature unveils HP1α mediating neuroendocrine prostate cancer development and aggressiveness


ABSTRACT: Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is a lethal subtype of prostate cancer (PCa) with hyperchromatic nuclei being a distinguishing histopathological feature. Here we show that, underlying this distinct nuclear structure, heterochromatin related genes are significantly enriched in NEPC. Among them, heterochromatin protein 1α (HP1α) expression is increased early in NE transdifferentiation and is consistently elevated in clinical NEPC samples. Functional studies showed that HP1α knockdown attenuates NEPC tumor growth by inhibiting proliferation and survival. Its ectopic expression significantly promotes NE transdifferentiation in adenocarcinoma cells subjected to androgen deprivation treatment. To identify mechanisms underlying the function of HP1α involved in NEPC cell proliferation and adenocarcinoma cell NE transdifferentiation, we analyzed gene expression profiles from stable NEPC cell lines with control or HP1α knockdown, and adenocarcinoma cell lines with control or HP1α overexpression, respectively.
