Project description:Background: The androgen receptor (AR) is a tumor suppressor in estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer, a role sustained in some ER negative breast cancers. Key factors dictating AR genomic activity in a breast context are largely unknown. Herein, we employed an unbiased chromatin immunoprecipitation-based proteomic technique to identify endogenous AR interacting co-regulatory proteins in ER positive and negative models of breast cancer to gain new insight into mechanisms of AR signaling in this disease. Results: The DNA-binding factor GATA3 is identified and validated as a novel AR interacting protein in breast cancer cells irrespective of ER status. AR activation by the natural ligand 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) increases nuclear AR-GATA3 interactions, resulting in AR-dependent enrichment of GATA3 chromatin binding at a sub-set of genomic loci. Silencing GATA3 reduces but does not prevent AR DNA binding and transactivation of genes associated with AR/GATA3 co-occupied loci, indicating a co-regulatory role for GATA3 in AR signaling. DHT-induced AR/GATA3 binding coincides with upregulation of luminal differentiation genes, including EHF and KDM4B, established master regulators of a breast epithelial cell lineage. These findings are validated in a patient-derived xenograft model of breast cancer. Interaction between AR and GATA3 is also associated with AR-mediated growth inhibition in ER positive and ER negative breast cancer.

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) is expressed in 60-70% of breast cancers independent of estrogen receptor (ER) expression, however its function in breast cancer is largely unknown. Our study identified the high level of AR in ERâ??/HER2+ breast tumors and andorgen and AR greatly stimulated growth of MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells. To define the genome-wide AR binding sites, we performed AR ChIP-seq using MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells followig stimulation of DHT. We also identified FOXA1 is a crucial AR cofactor in MDA-MB-453 cells and the FOXA cistrome showed signaficant overlap with AR at both early and late time points of DHT stimulation. AR ChIP was performed in MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells following 5a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stimulation for 4h and 16h respectively. FOXA1 ChIP-seq was performed after 4h DHT stimulation in MDA-MB-453 cells.

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) is a key player in prostate cancer development and progression. Here we applied immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry of endogenous AR in LNCaP cells to identify components of the AR transcriptional complex. In total, 66 known and novel AR interactors were identified in the presence of synthetic androgen, most of which were critical for AR-driven prostate cancer cell proliferation. A subset of AR interactors required for LNCaP proliferation were profiled using chromatin immunoprecipitation assays followed by sequencing, identifying distinct genomic subcomplexes of AR interaction partners. Interestingly, three major subgroups of genomic subcomplexes were identified, where selective gain of function for AR genomic action in tumorigenesis was found, dictated by FOXA1 and HOXB13. In summary, by combining proteomic and genomic approaches we reveal subclasses of AR transcriptional complexes, differentiating normal AR behavior from the oncogenic state. In this process, the expression of AR interactors has key roles by reprogramming the AR cistrome and interactome in a genomic location-specific manner.

Project description:Androgen Receptor (AR) variants (AR-V) drive prostate cancer (PCa) resistance to first and second-generation therapies targeting endocrine regulation of AR. To understand the sets of genomic targets of full-length AR vs. AR-Vs, we conducted genome-wide ChIP-seq using isogenic pairs of genome engineering cell lines expressing either ARv567es (R1-D567) or full-length AR (R1-AD1). Our data demonstrate that androgen-activated full-length AR and AR-Vs both bind to similar genomic targets, which are enriched for high affinity androgen response elements (AREs). Overall, this study demonstrates that AR-Vs restore the broad AR cistrome that is otherwise lost during endocrine-targeted therapy.

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) is a hormone-activated transcription factor that plays important roles in prostate development, function, as well as malignant transformation. The downstream pathways of AR, however, are incompletely understood. AR has been primarily known as a transcriptional activator inducing prostate-specific gene expression. Through integrative analysis of genome-wide AR occupancy and androgen-regulated gene expression, here we report AR as a globally acting transcriptional repressor. This repression is mediated by androgen responsive elements (ARE) and dictated by Polycomb group protein EZH2 and repressive chromatin remodeling. In embryonic stem cells, AR-repressed genes are occupied by EZH2 and harbor bivalent H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 modifications that are characteristic of differentiation regulators, the silencing of which maintains the undifferentiated state. Concordantly, these genes are silenced in castration-resistant prostate cancer rendering a stem cell-like lack of differentiation and tumor progression. Collectively, our data reveal an unexpected role of AR as a transcriptional repressor inhibiting non-prostatic differentiation and, upon excessive signaling, resulting in cancerous de-differentiation. It provides an innovative mechanism for castration resistance and highlights novel therapeutic strategies to treat advanced prostate cancer.

Project description:Aberrant activation of androgen receptor (AR)-dependent transcriptional programs is a hallmark of human prostate cancers. At the molecular level, ligand-mediated AR activation is coordinated through spatial and temporal protein-protein interactions (PPIs) involving AR-interacting proteins, which we designate the “AR-interactome”. Despite many years of research, the ligand-sensitive protein complexes involved in ligand-mediated AR activation in prostate-tumor cells has not been clearly defined. Here, we describe the development, characterization, and utilization of a novel human LNCaP prostate-tumor cell line, N-AR, which stably expresses wild-type AR containing the streptavidin-binding peptide epitope tagged at its N-terminus (SBP-AR). A bioanalytical workflow involving streptavidin-chromatography and label-free quantitative mass spectrometry was used to identify SBP-AR and associated ligand-sensitive proteins/protein complexes functionally linked to AR activation in the cytosol of N-AR cells. Functional studies verified that ligand-sensitive streptavidin-copurified proteins encoded modulators of AR-mediated transcription, suggesting that these novel proteins were putative SBP-AR-interacting proteins in N-AR cells. This was supported by biochemical associations between recombinant SBP-AR and the ligand-sensitive COPI retrograde trafficking complex in vitro. Extensive biochemical and molecular experiments showed that the COPI-retrograde complex regulates ligand-mediated AR transcriptional activation through the mobilization of Golgi-localized ARA160 coactivator into the nuclear compartment of prostate-tumor cells. Collectively, this study provides a bioanalytical strategy to validate the AR-interactome and define novel AR-interacting proteins involved in ligand-mediated AR activation in prostate-tumor cells. Moreover, we describe a cellular system to study how compartment-specific AR-interacting proteins influence AR activation and contribute to aberrant AR-dependent transcription that underlies the majority of human prostate cancers.

Project description:The androgen receptor splice variant 7 (AR-V7) lacks the ligand-binding domain; is detected with increased frequency in advanced prostate cancer and is postulated to be one crucial mechanism for disease progression and therapeutic resistance to androgen deprivation in castration–resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Targeting AR-V7 or unique downstream targets could provide novel therapeutic approaches for CRPC. Here, we report that, independent of ligand, AR-V7 binds not only to the androgen-responsive element (ARE) sites inducing canonical AR signaling but also to non-canonical target sites where ligand-stimulated full-length AR (AR-FL) does not bind. These AR-V7 “solo” binding sites are mainly found at gene promoters and are co-occupied by a zinc-finger transcription factor ZFX and the co-activator BRD4, both of which physically interact with AR-V7. Consequently, AR-V7 not only recapitulates AR-FL action without androgen but uniquely regulates transcripts correlating with AR-V7 expression in the TCGA prostate cancer cohort. Mechanistically, ZFX appears to function as a pioneer factor for AR-V7 at solo-binding sites and BRD4 inhibitors but not anti-androgens suppress AR-V7 action at solo-binding sites as well as AR-V7-dependent growth. Additionally, knockdown of ZFX, or two downstream targets uniquely co-activated by AR-V7 (ZNF32 and FZD6), also suppressed growth of AR-V7-dependent CRPC cells. AR-V7 directly activated genes differentiate tumor from normal prostate tissues and predict poor prognosis in patients. Thus AR-V7 has both canonical and non-canonical regulatory functions in CRPC, which may provide new therapeutic avenues.
