Nuclear lamin A/C phosphorylation by loss of Androgen Receptor is a global determinant of cancer-associated fibroblast activation [ChIP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Alterations of nuclear structure and function, and associated impact on gene transcription, are a hallmark of cancer cells. Little is known of these alterations in Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs), a key component of the tumor stroma. Here we show that loss of androgen receptor (AR), which triggers early steps of CAF activation in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs), leads to nuclear membrane alterations with increased micronuclei formation and frequent ruptures, with similar alterations occurring in fully established CAFs. AR associates with nuclear lamin A/C and loss of AR results in a substantially increased lamin A/C nucleoplasmic redistribution. Mechanistically, AR functions as a bridge between lamin A/C with the protein phosphatase PPP1. In parallel with a decreased lamin-PPP1 association, AR loss results in a marked increase of lamin A/C phosphorylation at Ser 301, which is also a feature of CAFs. Phospho-Ser301 Lamin A/C binds to the transcription promoter regulatory region of multiple CAF marker genes upregulated by AR loss, and expression of a lamin A/CSer301 phosphomimetic mutant is sufficient for conversion of normal fibroblasts into tumor-promoting CAFs. The findings point to an AR - lamin A/C - PPP1 axis and lamin A/C phosphorylation at ser 301 as critical determinants of CAF activation.

Nuclear lamin A/C phosphorylation by loss of Androgen Receptor is a global determinant of cancer-associated fibroblast activation

Project description:Alterations of nuclear structure and function, and associated impact on gene transcription, are a hallmark of cancer cells. Little is known of these alterations in Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs), a key component of the tumor stroma. Here we show that loss of androgen receptor (AR), which triggers early steps of CAF activation in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs), leads to nuclear membrane alterations and increased micronuclei formation, which are unlinked from induction of cellular senescence. Similar alterations occur in fully established CAFs, which are overcome by restored AR function. AR associates with nuclear lamin A/C and loss of AR results in a substantially increased lamin A/C nucleoplasmic redistribution. Mechanistically, AR functions as a bridge between lamin A/C with the protein phosphatase PPP1. In parallel with a decreased lamin-PPP1 association, AR loss results in a marked increase of lamin A/C phosphorylation at Ser 301, which is also a feature of CAFs. Phosphorylated lamin A/C at Ser 301 binds to the transcription promoter regulatory region of several CAF effector genes, which are upregulated due to the loss of AR. More directly, expression of a lamin A/C Ser301 phosphomimetic mutant alone is sufficient to convert normal fibroblasts into tumor-promoting CAFs of the myofibroblast subtype, without an impact on senescence. These findings highlight the pivotal role of the AR-lamin A/C-PPP1 axis and lamin A/C phosphorylation at Ser 301 in driving CAF activation.

Transcriptomic analysis of CAFs with silencing of ANKRD1.

Project description:Stromal cell senescence plays a crucial role in activating cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). The Androgen receptor (AR) function oversees cellular senescence and CAF activation. Here, we identify the mesenchymal-specific transcriptional coregulator ANKRD1 as a key driver of CAF conversion. ANKRD1 is strongly upregulated in CAFs and under direct negative control of AR, and its loss impairs the pro-tumorigenic potential of CAFs. ANKRD1 controls a CAF-specific gene expression program and is associated with poorer survival of HNSCC, lung, and cervical SCC patients. Mechanistically, ANKRD1 binds to the chromatin on CAF gene regulatory regions in a complex with the AP1 transcription factor family. We show that ANKRD1 enhances the AP1 DNA binding activity to CAF gene promoters. Targeting ANKRD1 with the FANA antisense oligonucleotides reverts CAFs into a normal fibroblast, disrupts AP1 complex formation, and blocks CAF’s pro-tumorigenic potential in an orthotopic model of SCC, thus representing an exciting target for stroma-oriented cancer therapy.

Loss of androgen receptor signaling in prostate cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promotes CCL2‐ and CXCL8‐mediated cancer cell migration

Project description:Fibroblasts are abundantly present in the prostate tumor microenvironment (TME), including cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) which play a key role in cancer development. Androgen receptor (AR) signaling is the main driver of prostate cancer (PCa) progression, and stromal cells in the TME also express AR. High‐grade tumor and poor clinical outcome are associated with low AR expression in the TME, which suggests a protective role of AR signaling in the stroma against PCa development. However, the mechanism of this relation is not clear. In this study, we isolated AR‐expressing CAF‐like cells. Testosterone (R1881) exposure did not affect CAF‐like cell morphology, proliferation, or motility. PCa cell growth was not affected by culturing in medium from R1881‐exposed CAF‐like cells; however, migration of PCa cells was inhibited. AR chromatin immune precipitation sequencing (ChIP‐seq) was performed and motif search suggested that AR in CAF‐like cells bound the chromatin through AP‐1‐elements upon R1881 exposure, inducing enhancer‐mediated AR chromatin interactions. The vast majority of chromatin binding sites in CAF‐like cells were unique and not shared with AR sites observed in PCa cell lines or tumors. AR signaling in CAF‐like cells decreased expression of multiple cytokines; most notably CCL2 and CXCL8 and both cytokines increased migration of PCa cells. These results suggest direct paracrine regulation of PCa cell migration by CAFs through AR signaling.

Androgen receptor functions as transcriptional repressor of Cancer Associated Fibroblast (CAF) activation [RNA-seq]

Project description:The age-associated increase of cancer risk has been linked with stromal fibroblast senescence and early steps of Cancer Associated Fibroblast (CAF) activation. Surprisingly little is known about the role of androgen receptor (AR) signalling in this context. We show that AR expression is down-modulated in stromal fibroblasts underlying premalignant skin cancer lesions (actinic keratoses, AK) as well as in CAFs from the three major skin cancer types, squamous (SCC) and basal cell (BCC) carcinomas and melanomas. Decreased AR expression is linked to the concomitant down-modulation of CSL, key effector of canonical Notch signalling and global modulator of chromatin configuration, and it can be counteracted by treatment with BET inhibitors, which reverse CAF activation. Functionally, AR gene silencing in dermal fibroblasts results in p53-dependent senescence and induction of key CAF-effector genes, with AR physically converging with CSL in negative control of these genes. The findings are of functional significance as, in an orthotopic model of skin cancer, dermal fibroblasts with AR loss enhance significantly tumorigenicity of SCC and melanoma cells. As such, the findings establish AR as a novel potential target for stroma-focused cancer prevention and treatment.
