Project description:Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men. GWAS studies have identified variants associated with prostate cancer susceptibility, however, mechanistic and functional validation of these mutations are lacking. Mitochondrial energy metabolism plays an important role in the onset and development of cancer. A missense variant was identified in the ELAC2 gene, which encodes a dually localized nuclear and mitochondrial RNA processing enzyme, with predicted impact on metabolism and tumorigenesis. We used CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to introduce this variant into the mouse Elac2 gene as well as to generate a prostate-specific gene knockout of Elac2. The mutations caused enlargement and inflammation in the prostate and nodule formation. Multi-omic profiling revealed defects in RNA and energy metabolism that activated proinflammatory and tumorigenic pathways as a consequence of impaired processing of mitochondrial and nuclear encoded non-coding RNAs and reduced protein synthesis. The Elac2 variant or knockout mice on the background of the transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate (TRAMP) model show that Elac2 mutation with a secondary genetic insult exacerbated the onset and progression of prostate cancer and led to metastasis. Our systems biology analyses reveal a miRNA-mediated molecular mechanism by which specific non-coding RNAs elicit metabolic changes that drive prostate tumorigenesis and metastasis. We conclude that this ELAC2 variant is a predisposing factor for prostate cancer and provide a detailed molecular mechanism and physiologically relevant models of this cancer.

Project description:HPC2/ELAC2 has been identified as a prostate cancer (CaP) susceptibility gene. Two common missense variants in HPC2/ELAC2 have been identified: a Ser-->Leu change at amino acid 217, and an Ala-->Thr change at amino acid 541. Tavtigian et al. reported that these variants were associated with CaP in a sample of men drawn from families with hereditary CaP. To confirm this report in a sample unselected for family history, we studied 359 incident CaP case subjects and 266 male control subjects that were frequency matched for age and race and were identified from a large health-system population. Among control subjects, the Thr541 frequency was 2.9%, and the Leu217 frequency was 31.6%, with no significant differences in frequency across racial groups. Thr541 was only observed in men who also carried Leu217. The probability of having CaP was increased in men who carried the Leu217/Thr541 variants (odds ratio = 2.37; 95% CI 1.06-5.29). This risk did not differ significantly by family history or race. Genotypes at HPC2/ELAC2 were estimated to cause 5% of CaP in the general population of inference. These results suggest that common variants at HPC2/ELAC2 are associated with CaP risk in a sample unselected for family history or other factors associated with CaP risk.
