Disrupting the interaction between androgen receptor and its coregulator WDR77 delays the growth of treatment-resistant prostate cancer

ABSTRACT: Continued reliance on androgen receptor (AR) after androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has failed causes 35,000 American prostate cancer (CaP) deaths annually. AR’s transcriptional activity is an attractive target to overcome this acquired resistance but has been challenging to pursue. We demonstrate the therapeutic potential of disrupting interactions between AR and its coregulator WDR77. WDR77 stimulated growth of CaP cells and xenografts and its overexpression associated with worse patient survival. AR and WDR77 cistromes overlapped considerably, AR- and WDR77-bound genes correlated with aggressive CaP features, and the AR cistrome was reduced after WDR77 loss. We delineated direct interaction between WDR77 and AR, which when disrupted prevented AR-WDR77 complex formation, reduced AR DNA-binding and AR-dependent gene expression. Such disruption decreased cell proliferation to the same extent as ADT, and inhibited cell growth when ADT-resistant AR action was modelled and after ADT-resistance without impacting AR-negative CaP cells or benign cells. Blocking AR-WDR77 cooperation also delayed growth of organoids generated from patient-derived xenografts and fresh CaP specimens. Disrupting coregulator control over AR action may thus improve survival from ADT-resistant CaP.

The impact of WDR77 on the AR cistrome in prostate cancer cells

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) drives prostate cancer (CaP) even after androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) failed. Inhibiting AR’s transcription factor function to overcome acquired resistance to ADT is an attractive therapeutic avenue. However, which AR-coregulator interaction should be targeted is not clear, AR-coregulator complex higher order structures and stoichiometry are unknown, and how manipulating AR-coregulator interactions impacts the AR cistrome is not understood. Here, we examine interactions between AR and WD repeat 77 (WDR77, non-catalytic component of the methylosome complex), which are enriched in ADT-resistant CaP and mediate CaP cell survival. We performed CUT&RUN assays defined AR and WDR77 cistromes, the WDR77-dependence of the AR cistrome and the overlap between the AR and WDR77 cistromes in CaP cells.

Hypoxia-independent downregulation of hypoxia inducible factor 1 targets by androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer.

Project description:Hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF1) has been shown to cooperate with the androgen receptor (AR) in activation of oncogenic pathways in prostate cancer (PCa). Here we hypothesized that HIF1 also plays a role in PCa response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Comparison of gene expression profiles of androgen exposed (AE) and androgen deprived (AD) CWR22 PCa xenografts identified 596 upregulated and 748 downregulated genes after ADT. Gene ontology (GO) analysis of the differentially expressed genes showed significant enrichment of the biological processes cell proliferation, cell cycle and metabolism and suggested suppression of these processes after ADT. A set of 80 hypoxia-inducible genes were identified in 22Rv1 and LNCaP cell lines treated with hypoxia and showed considerable overlap (53%) with the downregulated genes. Immunostaining of the hypoxia marker pimonidazole showed no difference between AE- and AD-tumors. Comparison of the differentially expressed genes with lists of 1115 direct AR- and 276 direct HIF1-target genes identified 138 AR- and 40 HIF1-targets that were regulated after ADT, including six shared AR- and HIF1-targets for which downregulation was confirmed with RT-PCR. Most HIF1-targets were downregulated and included in the significant biological processes and the set of hypoxia-inducible genes. The downregulation of HIF1-targets was consistent with decreased HIF1A immunostaining in AD- compared to AE-tumors (p=0.002). A decrease in HIF1A immunostaining after ADT was also demonstrated in a cohort of 35 PCa patients (p<0.001). These data suggest suppressed HIF1-signaling after ADT and a shared role of HIF1 and AR in the regressive phase of PCa after ADT. Prostate cancer xenografts were subjected to adrogen deprivation therapy and analysed with regard to changes in gene expressions. Cell culture experiments were performed to generate prostate cancer specific gene lists associated with hypoxia.

Contribution of WDR77 and p53 to androgen response in prostate cancer cells

Project description:To decipher the contribution of WDR77 and p53 to androgen-responsive gene expression, effect of siRNA-mediated silencing of WDR77 and p53 on expression of androgen-dependent genes was studied. Human LNCaP prostate cancer cells were transfected with individual siRNA SmartPools targeting WDR77 or p53 or a non-targeting siRNA SmartPool. Forty-two hours after transfection, cells were treated with synthetic androgen R1881 (5nM) or vehicle. Three biological replicates were generated per treatment group. Forty-eight hours later, total RNA was isolated and processed for Illumina oligoarray analysis.

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.

Grainyhead-like 2 is essential for androgen receptor expression and activity in prostate cancer (RNA-seq)

Project description:The mainstay treatment for men with metastatic prostate cancer is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which inhibits androgen biosynthesis and/or binding of ligand to the androgen receptor (AR). Most men respond to ADT, but all subsequently develop resistance and progression to incurable and lethal castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). CRPC generally remains driven by the AR: therefore, the development of novel AR-targeted therapies, as well as elucidating therapy-driven changes to the AR signalling axis that mediate resistance, remain priorities for the field. Using a novel and powerful proteomic technique, rapid immunoprecipitation of endogenous proteins (RIME), we have identified a new AR binding protein, the transcription factor Grainyhead-like 2 (GRHL2), and shown that it plays an essential, multifaceted role in signalling by the canonical AR and by constitutively active truncated AR variants (ARVs). GRHL2 is necessary for the maintenance of AR/ARV expression in multiple prostate cancer model systems, co-localises with AR at specific sites on chromatin to enhance the androgen-regulated transcriptional program, and is required for optimal prostate cancer growth. Interestingly, we found that GRHL2 is itself an AR/ARV-regulated gene, creating a positive feed-forward loop between the two factors. The GRHL2 gene is frequently amplified and upregulated in CRPC, thereby potentially enabling further amplification AR signalling in the drug-resistant setting. In summary, this study has identified a critical new AR coregulator and potential therapeutic target in prostate cancer.

RNAseq analysis of ESRP regulated splicing events in prostate cancer

Project description:Progression of prostate cancer -the most frequent cancer in men- is driven by androgen steroid hormones, and delayed by androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Androgens control transcription in prostate cancer cells by stimulating androgen receptor (AR) activity, but also control pre-mRNA splicing through less clear mechanisms. Here we examine whether androgens regulate splicing through AR-mediated transcriptional control of splicing regulator proteins. Supporting this mechanism we find AR controls ESRP2, which encodes a key epithelial-specific splicing regulator. Both ESRP2 and its close paralog ESRP1 are highly expressed in primary prostate cancer, and slow growth of prostate cancer xenografts in mice. Androgen stimulation induces splicing switches in many endogenous ESRP2-controlled mRNA isoforms, including a key splicing switch in the metastatic regulator FLNB which is associated with disease relapse after treatment. ESRP2 expression in clinical prostate cancer is repressed by ADT, which may thus inadvertently dampen epithelial splice programmes. Supporting this, FLNB splicing was reciprocally switched by the AR antagonist Casodex®. Our data reveal a new mechanism of splicing control in prostate cancer with important implications for disease progression.
