Project description:Next generation androgen receptor (AR) signaling inhibitors have significantly improved the survival of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCPRC) but resistance remains a problem. Genomic alterations at the AR locus are present in ~50% of mCRPC patients, typically in association with large numbers of copy number gains and losses across the genome. To explore the functional consequences of these copy number alterations, we screened an shRNA library targeting all genes deleted in prostate cancer (the prostate cancer deletome: 4380 shRNAs targeting 730 genes) for next generation antiandrogen resistance using a clinically-validated model of enzalutamide-sensitive, AR-driven mCRPC LNCaP/AR. The Chromatin helicase DNA-binding factor (CHD1) scored as a top candidate and was validated in vitro and in vivo using multiple independent shRNAs and CRISPR guides. Mechanistically, CHD1 loss led to global changes in open and closed chromatin (ATAC-seq) as well as downregulation of canonical AR target genes upon the challenge of antiandrogen, despite robust AR expression. Integrative analysis of ATAC- and RNA-seq changes following CHD1 deletion identified 23 candidate transcription factor drivers of enzalutamide resistance. CRISPR-based unbiased functional screening identified 4 of these drivers may drive the AR-independent resistance, including glucocorticoid receptor (GR), BRN2, NR2F1 and TBX2. Genetic studies further establish that CHD1 loss confers antiandrogen resistance by converting mCRPC cells from AR-dependence to GR-dependence in one of the resistant LNCaP/AR clone. Thus, CHD1 functions as a molecular tuner to regulate chromatin plasticity and maintain oncogenic AR signaling, as well as AR dependency.

Project description:Metastatic prostate cancer is characterized by recurrent genomic copy number alterations that are presumed to contribute to resistance to hormone therapy. We identified CHD1 loss as a cause of antiandrogen resistance in an in vivo small hairpin RNA (shRNA) screen of 730 genes deleted in prostate cancer. ATAC-seq and RNA-seq analyses showed that CHD1 loss resulted in global changes in open and closed chromatin with associated transcriptomic changes. Integrative analysis of this data, together with CRISPR-based functional screening, identified four transcription factors (NR3C1, POU3F2, NR2F1, and TBX2) that contribute to antiandrogen resistance, with associated activation of non-luminal lineage programs. Thus, CHD1 loss results in chromatin dysregulation, thereby establishing a state of transcriptional plasticity that enables the emergence of antiandrogen resistance through heterogeneous mechanisms.

Project description:Prostate cancer subtypes are poorly defined and functional validation of drivers of ETS rearrangement-negative prostate cancer has not been conducted. Here, we identified an ETS(-) subtype of aggressive prostate cancer (ERG(-)MAP3K7(del)CHD1(del)) and used a novel developmental model and a cell line xenograft model to show that cosuppression of MAP3K7 and CHD1 expression promotes aggressive disease. Analyses of publicly available prostate cancer datasets revealed that MAP3K7 and CHD1 were significantly codeleted in 10% to 20% of localized tumors and combined loss correlated with poor disease-free survival. To evaluate the functional impact of dual MAP3K7-CHD1 loss, we suppressed Map3k7 and/or Chd1 expression in mouse prostate epithelial progenitor/stem cells (PrP/SC) and performed tissue recombination experiments in vivo. Dual shMap3k7-shChd1 PrP/SC recombinants displayed massive glandular atypia with regions of prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia and carcinoma apparent. Combined Map3k7-Chd1 suppression greatly disrupted normal prostatic lineage differentiation; dual recombinants displayed significant androgen receptor loss, increased neuroendocrine differentiation, and increased neural differentiation. Clinical samples with dual MAP3K7-CHD1 loss also displayed neuroendocrine and neural characteristics. In addition, dual Map3k7-Chd1 suppression promoted E-cadherin loss and mucin production in recombinants. MAP3K7 and CHD1 protein loss also correlated with Gleason grade and E-cadherin loss in clinical samples. To further validate the phenotype observed in the PrP/SC model, we suppressed MAP3K7 and/or CHD1 expression in LNCaP prostate cancer cells. Dual shMAP3K7-shCHD1 LNCaP xenografts displayed increased tumor growth and decreased survival compared with shControl, shMAP3K7, and shCHD1 xenografts. Collectively, these data identify coordinate loss of MAP3K7 and CHD1 as a unique driver of aggressive prostate cancer development.

Project description:Management of metastatic or advanced prostate cancer has acquired several therapeutic approaches that have drastically changed the course of the disease. In particular due to the high sensitivity of prostate cancer cells to hormone depletion, several agents able to inhibit hormone production or binding to nuclear receptor have been evaluated and adopted in clinical practice. However, despite several hormonal treatments being available nowadays for the management of advanced or metastatic prostate cancer, the natural history of the disease leads inexorably to the development of resistance to hormone inhibition. Findings regarding the mechanisms that drive this process are of particular and increasing interest as these are potentially related to the identification of new targetable pathways and to the development of new drugs able to improve our patients' clinical outcomes.
