Development of peptidomimetic inhibitors of the ERG transcription factor in prostate cancer (ChIP-seq)

ABSTRACT: Transcription factors play a key role in the development of a number of cancers, and therapeutically targeting them has remained a challenge. In prostate cancer, the ETS transcription factor ERG is recurrently rearranged and likely plays a critical role in prostate oncogenesis. Here we identified a series of peptides from a phage-display library that interact specifically with the DNA binding domain of ERG. The interactive interface was mapped to 9-residues in the 3rd helix of the ETS domain that is critical for ERG transcriptional activity. The peptides were found to efficiently disrupt ERG-mediated protein-protein interactions, transcription, DNA damage, and cell invasion, as well as attenuate ERG recruitment to target gene loci. Furthermore, a retroinverso peptidomimetic version of the peptide sequence suppressed tumor growth, intravasation, and metastasis in vivo. Taken together, our results demonstrate that transcription factors have specific residues important for protein-protein interactions and disrupting those critical interactions may be an effective therapeutic strategy.

Development of peptidomimetic inhibitors of the ERG gene fusion product in prostate cancer (expression)

Project description:Transcription factors play a key role in the development of diverse cancers, and therapeutically targeting them has remained a challenge. In prostate cancer, the gene encoding the transcription factor ERG is recurrently rearranged and plays a critical role in prostate oncogenesis. Here, we identified a series of peptides that interact specifically with the DNA binding domain of ERG. The most prevalent consensus peptide series matched the tumor suppressor Deleted in Liver Cancer 1 (DLC1). ERG inhibitory peptides and derived peptidomimetics (EIPs) bound with high affinity and specificity leading to proteolytic degradation of ERG. The EIPs attenuated ERG-mediated transcription, chromatin recruitment, protein-protein interactions, cell invasion, and tumor growth. Thus, peptidomimetic targeting of transcription factor fusion products may provide a promising therapeutic strategy for prostate cancer as well as other cancers.

A complex with poly(A) binding protein cytoplasmic 1 and EWS facilitates oncogenic ETS transcription factor function in prostate cells

Project description:The ETS transcription factor ERG is aberrantly expressed in approximately 50% of prostate tumors due to chromosomal rearrangements such as TMPRSS2/ERG. The ability of ERG to drive oncogenesis in prostate epithelial cells requires interaction with distinct co-activators, such as the RNA-binding protein EWS. Here, we find that ERG has both direct and indirect interactions with EWS, and the indirect interaction is mediated by the poly-A RNA-binding protein PABPC1. PABPC1 directly bound both ERG and EWS. ERG expression in prostate cells promoted PABPC1 localization to the nucleus and recruited PABPC1 to ERG/EWS binding sites in the genome. Knockdown of PABPC1 in prostate cells abrogated ERG-mediated phenotypes and decreased the ability of ERG to activate transcription. These findings define a complex including ERG and the RNA-binding proteins EWS and PABPC1 that represents a novel therapeutic target for ERG-positive prostate cancer and identify a novel nuclear role for PABPC1.

Loss of Function Mutations in ETS2 Repressor Factor (ERF) Reveal a Balance Between Positive and Negative ETS Factors Controlling Prostate Oncogenesis [22PC RNA-seq]

Project description:Half of prostate cancers are caused by a gene-fusion that enables androgens to drive expression of the normally silent ETS transcription factor ERG in luminal prostate cells1-4. Recent prostate cancer genomic landscape studies5-10 have reported rare but recurrent point mutations in the ETS repressor ERF11. Here we show these ERF mutations cause decreased protein stability and ERF mutant tumours are mostly exclusive from those with ERG fusions. ERF loss recapitulates the morphologic and phenotypic features of ERG gain in primary mouse prostate tissue, including expansion of the androgen receptor (AR) transcriptional repertoire, and ERF has tumour suppressor activity in the same genetic background of PTEN loss that yields oncogenic activity by ERG. Furthermore, in a human prostate cancer model of ERG gain and wild-type ERF, ChIP-seq studies indicate that ERG inhibits the ability of ERF to bind DNA at consensus ETS sites. Consistent with a competition model, ERF loss rescues ERG-positive prostate cancer cells from ERG dependency. Collectively, these data provide evidence that the oncogenicity of ERG is mediated, in part, by displacement of ERF and raise the larger question of whether other gain-of-function oncogenic transcription factors might also inactivate endogenous tumour suppressors.

Discovery of Non-ETS Gene Fusions using RNA Sequencing

Project description:Half of prostate cancers harbor gene fusions between TMPRSS2 and members of the ETS transcription factor family. To date little is known about the presence of non-ETS fusion events in prostate cancer. We employed next-generation transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) in order to explore the whole transcriptome of 25 human prostate cancer samples for the presence of chimeric fusion transcripts. We generated more than 1 billion sequence reads and used a novel computational approach (FusionSeq) in order to identify novel gene fusion candidates with high confidence. In total, we discovered and characterized seven new cancer-specific gene fusions, two involving the ETS genes ETV1 and ERG, and five involving non-ETS genes such as CDKN1A (p21), CD9 and IKBKB (IKK-beta), genes known to exhibit key biological roles in cellular homeostasis or assumed to be critical in tumorigenesis of other tumor entities, as well as the oncogene PIGU and the tumor suppressor gene RSRC2. The novel gene fusions are found to be of low frequency but interestingly, the non-ETS fusions were all present in prostate cancer harboring the TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion. Future work will focus on determining if the ETS rearrangements in prostate cancer are associated or directly predispose to a rearrangement prone phenotype.
