Project description:Although many treatment options have been adopted in patients with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), such as early docetaxel and AR-targeting therapy, there are currently no optimal biomarkers to guide treatment in these patients. To understand the transcriptomic features in mHSPC patients treated by either docetaxel or abiraterone acetate by performing whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) and single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).

Project description:Background. Androgen receptor splice variant-7 (AR-V7) is a truncated form of the androgen receptor protein which lacks the ligand-binding domain, the target of enzalutamide and abiraterone, but remains constitutively active as a transcription factor. We hypothesized that detection of AR-V7 in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from men with advanced prostate cancer would be associated with resistance to enzalutamide and abiraterone. Methods. We used quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase-chain-reaction (qRT-PCR) to interrogate CTCs for the presence or absence of AR-V7 from prospectively enrolled patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer initiating treatment with either enzalutamide or abiraterone. We examined associations between AR-V7 status and PSA response rates, PSA-progression-free-survival (PSA-PFS), clinical/radiographic-progression-free-survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed to determine the independent effect of AR-V7 status on clinical outcomes. Results. Thirty-one enzalutamide-treated patients and thirty-one abiraterone-treated patients were enrolled, of which 38.7% and 19.4% had detectable AR-V7 from CTCs, respectively. Among men receiving enzalutamide, AR-V7–positive patients had inferior PSA response rates (0% vs 52.6%, P=0.004), PSA-PFS (median: 1.4 vs 6.0 months, P<0.001), PFS (median: 2.1 vs 6.1 months, P<0.001), and OS (median: 5.5 months vs not reached, P=0.002) compared to AR-V7–negative patients. Similarly, among men receiving abiraterone, AR-V7–positive patients had inferior PSA response rates (0% vs 68.0%, P=0.004), PSA-PFS (median: 1.3 months vs not reached, P<0.001), PFS (median: 2.3 months vs not reached, P<0.001), and OS (median: 10.6 months vs not reached, P=0.006). The negative prognostic impact of AR-V7 was maintained after adjusting for full-length-AR expression. Conclusions. Detection of AR-V7 in CTCs from patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer is associated with resistance to enzalutamide and abiraterone. A total of four metastatic castration-resistant prostate tumor samples from four patients were subjected to RNA-seq. Two samples were positive for androgen receptor splice variant 7 and the other two were negative for this variant.

Project description:We found that synergy between the antiandrogen abiraterone and Plk1 inhibitors was completely independent of abiraterone's effects on AR signaling. To identify AR-independent effects of abiraterone we designed a comprehensive RNA seq experiment. This identified an AR-independent synergy-specific gene set signature that was induced by abiraterone treatment and was dominated by gene sets related to mitosis and the mitotic spindle. AR-independent effects of abiraterone were isolated by including an enzalutamide treatment arm and by utilizing cancer cell lines that do not express the AR. Synergy-specific gene expression changes were identified by using cell lines that responded synergistically or non-synergistically to combined abiraterone and onvansertib.

Project description:<p>We examined genetic resistance to second generation androgen targeting therapies (abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide) by analyzing whole exome sequencing of patient-matched pre-treatment and post-resistance tumors from a series of castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients. Abiraterone resistant tumors harbored alterations in AR and MYC, whereas patients treated with enzalutamide had acquired alterations in the cell cycle pathway. We experimentally confirmed expression of cell-cycle kinases sufficed to drive enzalutamide resistance, which was mitigated through CDK4/6 blockade. These observations link genetic resistance to specific therapeutic agents to inform strategies in genomically selected advanced CRPC.</p>

Project description:Constitutively active AR variants are truncated proteins lacking the c-terminal region containing the ligand binding domain (LBD) and the activation function 2 (AF-2). The expression of these AR variants in CRPC was also associated with the resistance to novel therapies such as enzalutamide and abiraterone acetate. These variants are also involved in tumor progression.

Project description:The goal of this study was to determine the effects of a well-characterized anti-androgen, abiraterone acetate, and a suspected human anti-androgen, di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) on the androgenic function of human fetal testis. Human fetal testis was xenografted into the renal subcapsular space of castrated male athymic nude mice. Hosts were treated with hCG to stimulate testosterone production in the xenografts, and were concurrently treated with either abiraterone acetate or DBP. While abiraterone acetate (14 d, 75 mg/kg/d p.o.) dramatically reduced testosterone and the weights of androgen-sensitive host organs, DBP (14 d, 500 mg/kg/d p.o.) had no effect on androgenic endpoints. Three paired analyses were performed using the LIMMA package in R (commands lmfit and eBayes), with the Benjamini-Hochberg correction for multiple comparisons (Smyth 2005): vehicle-treated xenografts vs. unimplanted testis (n=5), abiraterone-treated xenografts vs. matched control xenografts (n=3), and DBP-treated xenografts vs. matched control xenografts (n=3). There were significant differences in gene expression between grafted and ungrafted samples, including dramatic upregulation of microRNAs. Gene expression analysis also showed that abiraterone decreased expression of genes related to cell differentiation, while DBP induced expression of oxidative stress response genes and decreased expression of factors related to embryonic development. 17 xenograft samples were analyzed, including 5 unimplanted samples, 6 vehicle treated xenografts, 3 abiraterone acetate-treated xenografts, and 3 DBP-treated xenografts. Samples were paired (derived from the same donor tissue) for each comparison: vehicle vs. unimplanted (n=5), abiraterone vs. vehicle (n=3), and DBP vs. vehicle (n=3).

Project description:Since its discovery, there has been one central issue of significant clinical relevance related to expression of the truncated androgen receptor splice variant-7 (AR-v7), which lacks the C-terminal ligand binding domain and thus acquires ligand-independent transcriptional activity in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). That question is whether AR-v7 is simply a marker of enhanced AR transcriptional activity characteristic of resistance to 2nd generation androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSi) like Abiraterone and Enzalutamide, or whether it drives lethal resistance to ARSi. To address this question, the present study utilized 4 independently derived CRPC patient-derived xenografts in which the genetic and phenotypic changes could be followed before and after the development of ARSi resistance. This allowed evaluation of the correlation between acquired resistance to ARSi and changes in the expression levels of full length AR (AR-FL) vs. AR-v7 during this process. The combined results document that elevated expression of AR-FL alone is sufficient for Abiraterone- but not Enzalutamide-resistance. This is true even if AR-FL has a gain-of-function mutation. Furthermore, Enzalutamide-resistance is consistently correlated with the acquisition of AR-v7 expression. To directly test the requirement for AR-v7 expression in ARSi-refractory CRPC, CRISPR-Cas9 knockout of AR-FL and/or AR-v7 in LNCaP-95 cells was performed to evaluate in vitro and in vivo growth responses. These results document that AR-v7 drives Enzalutamide-resistance and focuses the critical need to develop therapeutic options to prevent and/or inhibit AR-v7 driven lethal progression of CRPC.
