Castration-induced SPARC down-regulation in stroma cells drives neuroendocrine differentiation of prostate cancer

ABSTRACT: Fatal neuroendocrine (NE) prostate cancer evolves from castration-resistant adenocarcinoma as a mechanism of resistance to androgen deprivation/anti androgen receptor therapies. Evidence suggests the microenvironment as a possible source of soluble factors mediating neuroendocrine differentiation (NED), but molecular mechanisms are unknown. Using a transgenic mouse model we show that upon castration tumor cells up-regulate GRP78, which triggers a cascade leading to down-regulation of the matricellular protein SPARC in the nearby stroma. SPARC loss allows stroma cells to release IL-6, a known inducer of NED. A drug targeting GRP78 blocks NED in castrated mice. These events find correlation in prostate cancer patients developing focal NED after androgen deprivation therapies. Our results candidate SPARC and GRP78 for diagnostic and therapeutic purpose, respectively.

Single-cell analysis supports a luminal-neuroendocrine transdifferentiation in human prostate cancer

Project description:Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is a subset of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and is thought to derive from prostate adenocarcinoma. However, the cellular basis responsible for Neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) is still under debate. Here, we characterized the tumor cell diversity of 6 CRPC patients using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and detected NED in four patients.

Single Cell RNA-seq from Prostate Cancer Patient Derived Xenografts and LNCaP Cells

Project description:Comprehensive molecular cancer studies have extensively characterized most primary and some metastatic tumor types over the last decade. In prostate cancer, the most common tumor type in men, genomic studies have been most notably conducted for primary and metastatic tumors that had progressed under androgen deprivation therapies (ADT) to castration-resistant disease (CRPC). More recent studies have also looked at genetic alterations in a smaller number of prostate cancers frequently associated with neuroendocrine trans-differentiation. For this tumor type, it’s becoming clear that the complexity of genomic alterations does not allow an accurate assessment of the transformed phenotype. To overcome these hurdles, we show in patient-derived xenograft models how disease progression emerges at single-cell resolution and how pharmacologic perturbation can revert this process. Given this approach, we were able to investigate disease progression and androgen independence at single cell level: in our xenograft models, we show how tumor cell subpopulation progress along the trajectory from androgen-sensitive to insensitive disease.

Unraveling the Global Proteome and Phosphoproteome of Prostate Cancer Patient-Derived Xenografts

Project description:Resistance to androgen deprivation therapies leads to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) of adenocarcinoma (AdCa) origin that can transform to emergent aggressive variant prostate cancer (AVPC) which has neuroendocrine (NE)-like features. To this end, we used LuCaP patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumors, clinically relevant models that reflects and retains key features of the tumor from advanced prostate cancer patients. Here we performed proteome and phosphoproteome characterization of 48 LuCaP PDX tumors and identified over 94,000 peptides and 9,700 phosphopeptides corresponding to 7,738 proteins. When we compared 15 NE versus 33 AdCa PDX samples, we identified 309 unique proteins and 476 unique phosphopeptides that were significantly altered and corresponded to proteins that are known to distinguish these two phenotypes. Assessment of protein and RNA concordance from these tumors revealed increased dissonance in transcriptionally regulated proteins in NE and metabolite interconversion enzymes in AdCa.

Transcriptome analysis of VCaP xenografts resistant to dual therapy with abiraterone and enzalutamide

Project description:We report RNA sequencing data on serial biopsies of prostate cancer VCaP xenografts as the tumors pass from androgen-sensitivity (Pre-Cx), to castration resistance (CRPC, castration resistant prostate cancer), onto resistance to dual therapy with abiraterone plus enzalutamide (AER). From comparison of these RNAseq data sets, we were able to determine differentially expressed genes between the AER/CRPC and Pre-Cx states that could mediate resistance to androgen deprivation therapies.

Reprogramming Landscape Highlighted by Dynamic Transcriptomes in Therapy-induced Neuroendocrine Differentiation [mRNA-seq]

Project description:Metastatic and locally advanced prostate cancer is treated by pharmacological targeting of androgen synthesis and androgen response via androgen signaling inhibitors (ASI), most of which target the androgen receptor (AR). However, ASI therapy invariably fails after 1-2 years. Emerging clinical evidence indicates that in response to ASI therapy, the AR-positive prostatic adenocarcinoma can transdifferentiate into AR-negative neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) in 17-25% treated patients, likely through a process called neuroendocrine differentiation (NED). Despite high clinical incidence, the epigenetic pathways underlying NED and ASI therapy-induced NED remain unclear. By utilizing a combinatorial single cell and bulk mRNA sequencing workflow, we demonstrate in a time-resolved manner that following AR inhibition with enzalutamide, prostate cancer cells exhibit immediate loss of canonical AR signaling activity and simultaneous morphological change from epithelial to NE-like (NEL) morphology, followed by activation of specific neuroendocrine (NE)-associated transcriptional programs. Additionally, we observed that activation of NE-associated pathways occurs prior to complete repression of epithelial or canonical AR pathways, a phenomenon also observed clinically via heterogenous AR status in clinical samples. Our model indicates that, mechanistically, ASI therapy induces NED with initial morphological change followed by deactivation of canonical AR target genes and subsequent de-repression of NE-associated target genes, while retaining AR expression and transcriptional shift towards non-canonical AR activity. Coupled with scRNA-seq and CUT&RUN analysis, our model system can provide a platform for screening of potential therapeutic agents that may prevent ASI-induced NED or reverse the NED process.

The effect of androgen deprivation on human prostate xenograft tumor LuCaP35

Project description:Androgen deprivation is a standard of care front-line therapy for human prostate cancer, however, majority of patients will eventally develop resistance to androgen deprivation. In this study, using a human prostate cancer xenograft model -LuCaP35, we examiend the gene expression changes after castration. We compare the gene expression of 5 LuCaP35 xenografts from non-treated mice (Control), and 5 androgen-deprived LuCaP35 xenografts from castrated mice (Castration).

RET Kinase Inhibition in Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer, part 2

Project description:Increased treatment of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with second-generation anti-androgen therapies (ADT) has coincided with a greater incidence of lethal, aggressive variant prostate cancer (AVPC) tumors that have lost androgen receptor (AR) signaling. AVPC tumors may also express neuroendocrine markers, termed neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). Recent evidence suggests kinase signaling may be an important driver of NEPC. To identify targetable kinases in NEPC, we performed global phosphoproteomics comparing AR-negative to AR-positive prostate cancer cell lines and identified multiple altered signaling pathways, including enrichment of RET kinase activity in the AR-negative cell lines. Clinical NEPC and NEPC patient derived xenografts displayed upregulated RET transcript and RET pathway activity. Pharmacologically inhibiting RET kinase in NEPC models dramatically reduced tumor growth and cell viability in mouse and human NEPC models. Our results suggest that targeting RET in NEPC tumors with high RET expression may be a novel treatment option.
