Defined cellular reprogramming of androgen receptor-active prostate cancer to neuroendocrine prostate cancer [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) arises primarily through neuroendocrine transdifferentiation (NEtD) as an adaptive mechanism of therapeutic resistance. Models to define the functional effects of putative drivers of this process on androgen receptor (AR) signaling and NE cancer lineage programs are lacking. We adapted a genetically defined strategy from the field of cellular reprogramming to directly convert AR-active prostate cancer (ARPC) to AR-independent NEPC using candidate factors. We delineated critical roles of the pioneer factors ASCL1 and NeuroD1 in NEtD and uncovered their abilities to silence AR expression and signaling by remodeling chromatin at the somatically acquired AR enhancer and global AR binding sites with enhancer activity. We also elucidated the dynamic temporal changes in the transcriptomic and epigenomic landscapes of cells undergoing acute lineage conversion from ARPC to NEPC which should inform future therapeutic development. Further, we distinguished the activities of ASCL1 and NeuroD1 from the inactivation of RE-1 silencing transcription factor (REST), a master suppressor of a major neuronal gene program, in establishing a NEPC lineage state and in modulating the expression of genes associated with major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) antigen processing and presentation.

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.

FOXA2 and ASCL1 Cooperate in Driving Neuronal Lineage Commitment in Prostate Cancer [RNA-seq]

Project description:In castration-resistant prostate cancer, lineage plasticity mediates resistance to androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) and progression from adenocarcinoma to neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), a highly aggressive and poorly understood subtype. ASCL1 has emerged as a central regulator of the NEPC phenotype, driving neuroendocrine differentiation. However, ASCL1’s influence on neuronal lineage switching and maturation, as well as its partners in NEPC, remain largely unknown. Here, we provided insights into ASCL1’s cistrome reprogramming in ARPI-induced NEPC versus terminal NEPC and showed that ASCL1 binding pattern tailors the subsequent expression of transcription factor combinations that underlie discrete terminal NEPC identity. We identified FOXA2 as a major co-factor of ASCL1 in terminal NEPC that it is highly expressed in ASCL1-driven NEPC. FOXA2 and ASCL1 interact and work in concert to orchestrate terminal neuronal differentiation in prostate cancer, and regulate key neuroendocrine-associated genes including PROX1. Our findings provide insights into the molecular conduit underlying the interplay between different lineage determinant transcription factors to support the neuroendocrine identity in prostate cancer.

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.

Post-transcriptional gene regulation by microRNA-194 promotes neuroendocrine transdifferentiation in prostate cancer

Project description:Potent therapeutic inhibition of the androgen receptor (AR) in prostate adenocarcinoma can lead to the emergence of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), a phenomenon associated with enhanced cell plasticity. Here, we show that microRNA-194 (miR-194) is a regulator of epithelial-neuroendocrine transdifferentiation. In clinical prostate cancer samples, miR-194 expression and activity were elevated in NEPC and inversely correlated with AR signalling. Over-expression of miR-194 facilitated the emergence of neuroendocrine features in prostate cancer cells, a process mediated by its ability to directly target a suite of genes involved in cell plasticity. One such target gene was FOXA1, which encodes a transcription factor with a vital role in maintaining the prostate epithelial lineage. Importantly, a miR-194 inhibitor blocked epithelial-neuroendocrine transdifferentiation and inhibited the growth of cell lines and patient-derived organoids possessing neuroendocrine features. Overall, our study reveals a post-transcriptional mechanism regulating the plasticity of prostate cancer cells and provides a rationale for targeting miR-194 in NEPC.
