Combined TP53 and RB1 Loss Promotes Prostate Cancer Resistance to a Broad Spectrum of Cancer Therapeutics and Confers Vulnerability to Replication Stress

ABSTRACT: Prostate cancers (PC) with loss of the potent tumor suppressors TP53 and RB1 exhibit poor outcomes that include resistance to androgen receptor (AR) pathway antagonists. TP53 and RB1 also influence cell plasticity and are frequently lost in PCs with neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation. Therapeutic strategies that address these aggressive variant PCs are urgently needed. Using deep genomic profiling of 410 metastatic biopsies, we determined the relationships between combined TP53 and RB1 loss and PC phenotypes. Notably, 40% of TP53/RB1 deficient tumors were classified as AR-active adenocarcinomas indicating that NE differentiation is not an obligate consequence of TP53/RB1 inactivation. A gene expression signature reflecting TP53/RB1 loss was associated with diminished responses to AR antagonists and reduced survival. These tumors exhibit high proliferation rates and evidence of elevated DNA repair processes. While tumor cells lacking TP53/RB1 were highly resistant to all single agent therapeutics, the combination of pharmacological PARP and ATR inhibition produced significant responses, reflecting a clinically-exploitable vulnerability resulting from replication stress.

Resistance to AR Signaling Inhibition Does Not Necessitate Prostate Neuroendocrine Differentiation

Project description:Resistance to 2nd generation androgen receptor (AR) signaling inhibitors (ARSi) occurs in a subset of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients with the emergence of a neuroendocrine (NE) phenotype. This NE phenotype is typically accompanied by loss of AR expression coupled with mutations/deletions in PTEN, TP53, and/or RB1, in addition to overexpression of DNMTs, EZH2, and/or SOX2. A combination of cell and molecular biology analyses of 29 prostate cancer patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) recapitulating the full spectrum of proposed genetic alterations driving NE differentiation, in addition to CRISPR-Cas9 AR-knockout cells were utilized. These analyses document that: 1) ARSi-resistance in mCRPC cells that lack AR expression in the context of a TP53 mutation and PTEN deletion does not necessitate acquiring a NE phenotype, but alternatively can occur via emergence of an AR-/NE- double negative (DN) cancer; 2) NE cancers lack AR expression due to transcriptional silencing via promoter hypermethylation; and 3) in contrast, the lack of AR expression in DN cancers is not due to promoter hypermethylation-dependent silencing. Regardless of their cell of origin, the prevalence of both AR-/NE- DN and AR-/NE+ ARSi-resistant cancers is increasing clinically, highlighting the urgent need to develop therapies that target vulnerabilities beyond AR pathway inhibition.

Prostate adenocarcinoma transition to neuroendocrine small cell tumors requires ASCL1

Project description:Most patients with prostate adenocarcinoma develop resistance to therapies targeting the androgen receptor (AR). Consequently, a portion of these patients develop AR-indifferent neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), a rapidly progressing cancer with limited therapies and poor survival outcomes. Current research to understand the transition to NEPC suggests a model of lineage plasticity, where AR-dependent luminal tumors progress towards an AR-independent neuroendocrine (NE) lineage. Genetic analysis of human NEPC showed a frequent loss of RB1 and TP53, and in experimental models, loss of both genes facilitates the transition to a NE lineage. Transcriptomics has shown the lineage transcription factors ASCL1 and NEUROD1 are present in NEPC. In this study, we used genetically engineered mouse models harboring Cre induced loss of Rb1 and Trp53 with MycT58A overexpression (RPM), to model prostate adenocarcinoma with NEPC by establishing prostate organoids that are subsequently used to generate subcutaneous allograft tumors. These tumors are heterogeneous and display adenocarcinoma, squamous, and NE features. ASCL1 and NEUROD1 are expressed within the NE defined regions, with ASCL1 being more predominant than NEUROD1. Genetic loss of ASCL1 in this model does not decrease tumor growth or tumor formation, however, there is a notable decrease in NE identity and an increase in cells with basal-like cell identity. This study provides a new in vivo model to study the progression of prostate cancer to NEPC and establishes the requirement for ASCL1 in driving neuroendocrine differentiation.

Current androgen deprivation induces androgen receptor-independent prostate cancer via HGF and Wnt activation to foster nuclear export and ribosome biogenesis [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:To inhibit the re-activation of AR-promoted tumor growth via residual androgens, more potent AR antagonists and inhibitors for androgen synthesis have been developed in the decades. While these second-generation antagonists/inhibitors showed some effectiveness clinically, they also induced more diverse CRPC phenotypes. Specifically, a subpopulation of AR- and neuroendocrine (NE)-null PC cells, DNPC, occurs frequently in CRPC patients treated with abiraterone and enzalutamide, increasing metastatic CRPC incidences and the mortality of PCa. Understanding the mechanisms for DNPC will directly improve clinical outcomes.

Exportin 1 inhibition prevents neuroendocrine transformation through SOX2 downregulation in lung and prostate cancers [RNA-seq]

Project description:In lung and prostate adenocarcinomas, neuroendocrine (NE) transformation to an aggressive derivative resembling small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is associated with poor prognosis. We previously described dependency of SCLC on the nuclear transporter exportin 1. Here we explored the role of exportin 1 in NE transformation. We observed upregulated exportin 1 in lung and prostate pre-transformation adenocarcinomas. Exportin 1 was induced upregulated following genetic inactivation of TP53 and RB1 in lung and prostate adenocarcinoma cell lines, accompanied by increased sensitivity to the exportin 1 inhibitor selinexor in vitro. Exportin 1 inhibition prevented NE transformation and extended response to targeted therapies in both lung anddifferent TP53/RB1-inactivated prostate adenocarcinoma xenograft models that acquire NE features upon treatment with the AR inhibitor enzalutamide, and extended response to the EGFR inhibitor osimertinib in a lung cancer transformation patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model exhibiting combined adenocarcinoma/SCLC histology. Ectopic SOX2 expression restored the enzalutamide-promoted NE transformationNE phenotype on adenocarcinoma-to-NE transformation xenograft models despite selinexor treatment. Selinexor sensitized NE-transformed lung and prostate small cell carcinoma PDXs tumors after NE transformation to standard cytotoxics. Together these data nominate exportin 1 inhibition as a novel potential therapeutic approach target to constrain lineage plasticity and prevent or treat NE transformation in lung and prostate adenocarcinoma.

ONECUT2 acts a lineage plasticity driver

Project description:Androgen receptor- (AR-) indifference is a mechanism of resistance to hormonal therapy in prostate cancer (PC). Here we demonstrate that ONECUT2 (OC2) activates resistance through multiple drivers associated with adenocarcinoma, stem-like and neuroendocrine (NE) variants. Direct OC2 gene targets include the glucocorticoid receptor (GR; NR3C1) and the NE splicing factor SRRM4, which are key drivers of lineage plasticity. Thus, OC2, despite its previously described NEPC driver function, can indirectly activate a portion of the AR cistrome through epigenetic activation of GR. Mechanisms by which OC2 regulates gene expression include promoter binding, enhancement of genome-wide chromatin accessibility, and super-enhancer reprogramming. Pharmacologic inhibition of OC2 suppresses lineage plasticity reprogramming induced by the AR signaling inhibitor enzalutamide. These results demonstrate that OC2 activation promotes a range of drug resistance mechanisms associated with treatment-emergent lineage variation in PC and support enhanced efforts to therapeutically target OC2 as a means of suppressing treatment-resistant disease.

Analysis of gene expression (RNAseq) from shTP53:RB1 LNCaP/AR cell lines

Project description:Some cancers evade targeted therapies through a mechanism known as lineage plasticity, whereby tumor cells acquire phenotypic characteristics of a cell lineage whose survival no longer depends on the drug target. Here we show, using in vitro and in vivo prostate cancer models, that these tumors can develop resistance to the antiandrogen drug enzalutamide by a phenotypic shift from androgen receptor (AR) dependent luminal epithelial cells to AR independent basal-like cells. This lineage plasticity is enabled by loss of TP53 and RB1 function, is mediated by increased expression of the reprogramming transcription factor SOX2 and can be reversed by restoring TP53 and RB1 function or by inhibiting SOX2 expression. Thus, mutations in tumor suppressor genes can create a state of increased cellular plasticity that, when challenged with antiandrogen therapy, promotes resistance through lineage switching.

RB1 expression and targeting by CDK4/6 inhibitors in small cell lung cancer

Project description:The canonical model of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) depicts tumors arising from dual inactivation of TP53 and RB1. However, many genomic studies have persistently identified tumors with no RB1 mutations. Here, we examined RB1 protein expression and function in SCLC. RB1 expression was examined by immunohistochemical analysis of 62 human SCLC tumors. These studies showed that ~14% of SCLC tumors expressed abundant RB1 protein, which is associated with neuroendocrine (NE) gene expression and is enriched in YAP1 expression, but no other lineage proteins that stratify SCLC. SCLC cells and xenograft tumors with RB1 protein expression were sensitive to growth inhibition by the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib, and this inhibition was shown to be dependent on RB1 expression by CRISPR knockout. Furthermore, a patient with biopsy-validated wt RB1 SCLC who received the CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib demonstrated a dramatic decrease in mutant TP53 ctDNA allelic fraction from 62.1% to 0.4% and decreased tumor mass on CT scans. Importantly, immunohistochemistry of the diagnostic biopsy specimen showed RB1 positivity. Finally, we identified a transcriptomics-based RB1 loss-of-function signature that discriminates between SCLC cells with or without RB1 protein expression and validated it in the patient who was responsive to abemaciclib, suggesting its potential use to predict CDK4/6 inhibitor response in SCLC patients. Our study demonstrates that RB1 protein is an actionable target in a subgroup of SCLC, a cancer that exhibits no currently targetable mutations.

RNA sequencing of 16D LTenza cells transduced with cMyc, shRb1, shTp53, shRb1_shTp53

Project description:The goal of this study was to determine how genetic alterations to AR inhibition-maintained prostate cancer cells alters transcriptional programs. We explored how MYC overexpression alters the transcriptional program of 16D cells maintained in enzalutamide for at least 2 months (LTenza) by transducing LTenza 16D cells with control (FUCRW) or MYC. To explore the effect of RB1 and TP53, we generated LTenza 16D cells with knockdown of RB1 and/or TP53 and compared these lines to control-transduced (shScr) LTenza 16D cells. Enzalutamide-naïve (DMSO-treated) cells were included to validate enzalutamide-induced inhibition of AR signaling in enzalutamide-maintained lines.
