Integrated genome and transcriptome sequencing identifies a novel case of hybrid and aggressive prostate cancer

ABSTRACT: Next generation sequencing is making sequence-based molecular pathology and personalised oncology viable. We selected an individual initially diagnosed with conventional, but aggressive, prostate adenocarcinoma and sequenced the genome and transcriptome from primary and metastatic tissues collected prior to hormone therapy. The histology-pathology and genomic architecture were remarkably homogeneous, yet it was possible to determine the quadrant of the prostate tumour that likely seeded the metastatic diaspora. Despite a homogenous cell type, our transcriptome analysis revealed signatures of both luminal and neuroendocrine cell types. Remarkably, the repertoire of expressed but private gene fusions, including C15orf21:MYC, recapitulated this biology while the amplification and over expression of the stem cell gene MSI2 may have contributed to the stable hybrid cellular identity. This hybrid luminal-neuroendocrine tumour appears to represent a novel and highly aggressive case of prostate cancer with unique biological features and conceivably a propensity for rapid progression to castrate-resistance. Overall, this work highlights the importance of integrated analyses of genome, exome and transcriptome sequences for basic tumour biology, sequence-based molecular pathology, and personalized oncology.

A Basal Stem Cell Signature Identifies Aggressive Prostate Cancer Phenotypes

Project description:Aggressive cancers and normal stem cells often share similar molecular and functional traits. It is unclear if aggressive phenotypes of prostate cancer molecularly resemble normal stem cells residing within the human prostate. We performed high-throughput RNA sequencing on uncultured, highly purified epithelial populations from human prostates obtained after radical prostatectomy. We found the basal population to be defined by genes associated with developmental programs, epigenetic remodeling, and invasiveness. We further generated a 91-gene basal signature and applied it to gene expression datasets from patients with organ-confined or castration-resistant, metastatic prostate cancer. Metastatic prostate cancer was more enriched for the basal stem cell signature than organ-confined prostate cancer. Moreover, histological subtypes within prostate cancer metastases varied in their enrichment of the stem cell signature with small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma being the most stem cell-like. Bioinformatic analysis of the basal cell and two human small cell gene signatures identified a set of E2F target genes common to all three signatures. These results suggest that the most aggressive variants of prostate cancer share a core transcriptional program with normal prostate basal stem cells.

Notch signaling suppresses neuroendocrine differentiation and alters the tumor immune microenvironment in advanced prostate cancer

Project description:Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is an aggressive, androgen-independent variant of prostate cancer (PCa) that most commonly develops in patients as a mechanism of therapeutic resistance. The underlying mechanisms driving PCa lineage plasticity and trans-differentiation to a neuroendocrine lineage are not fully understood. Here, we identify Notch signaling as a key suppressor of neuroendocrine differentiation in PCa. Restoration of Notch signaling in NEPC models results in phenotypic conversion towards a non-neuroendocrine state with expression of prostate luminal cell markers and immunologic changes including up-regulation of MHC Class I and II and type I interferon signaling that correlate with changes in the tumor immune microenvironment. Overall, these data provide new insights into how Notch signaling influences PCa lineage plasticity and points to new therapeutic avenues to modulate it.

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.

Unraveling the Global Proteome and Phosphoproteome of Prostate Cancer Patient-Derived Xenografts

Project description:Resistance to androgen deprivation therapies leads to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) of adenocarcinoma (AdCa) origin that can transform to emergent aggressive variant prostate cancer (AVPC) which has neuroendocrine (NE)-like features. To this end, we used LuCaP patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumors, clinically relevant models that reflects and retains key features of the tumor from advanced prostate cancer patients. Here we performed proteome and phosphoproteome characterization of 48 LuCaP PDX tumors and identified over 94,000 peptides and 9,700 phosphopeptides corresponding to 7,738 proteins. When we compared 15 NE versus 33 AdCa PDX samples, we identified 309 unique proteins and 476 unique phosphopeptides that were significantly altered and corresponded to proteins that are known to distinguish these two phenotypes. Assessment of protein and RNA concordance from these tumors revealed increased dissonance in transcriptionally regulated proteins in NE and metabolite interconversion enzymes in AdCa.

Integrated multi-omics assessment of lineage plasticity features in a prostate cancer patient with brain and dural metastases

Project description:Metastasis to the brain is rare in prostate cancer and unfortunately, incredibly lethal. We evaluated the tissue biopsies of a patient with a treatment-induced metastatic lesion to the brain of the neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) subtype. We performed genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic characterization on the primary prostate tumor, the metastatic brain NEPC, and an additional metastatic nodule in the dura with adenocarcinoma histology. These data are the proteomics result of this patient, with three replicates for each sample (primary prostate, dura adenocarcinoma, brain NEPC).

Therapeutic Implications for Intrinsic Phenotype Classification of Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

Project description:Metastatic prostate cancers are recognized to exhibit subtypes categorized by underlying genomic alterations and phenotypes largely partitioned by androgen receptor signaling and neuroendocrine activity. In the present study we evaluated a phenotypic classification approach originally developed for subtyping breast carcinomas using the PAM50 gene signature. PAM50 subtypes associated with specific genotypes such as RB1 loss and phenotypes such as small cell/neuroendocrine carcinoma as well as tumor histology including cribriform morphology. In the context of clinical translation, PAM50 classification segregated tumors into groups with distinct druggable targets such as cell surface proteins amenable to antibody-drug-conjugates (ADCs). Classification into Luminal A, Luminal B and Basal tumors associated with time on androgen receptor signaling inhibitors, and responses to taxane chemotherapy. These findings support further clinical investigation of PAM50-based classification for prostate cancer patient stratification in therapeutic studies.
