The early effects of rapid androgen deprivation on human prostate cancer

ABSTRACT: The androgen receptor (AR) is the dominant growth factor in prostate cancer. Understanding how it regulates the human transcriptome is of paramount importance. The early effects of castration on human prostate cancer have not previously been studied. In this study 27 patients were medically castrated with degarelix seven days before radical prostatectomy. Resected tumour was compared with matched controlled untreated prostate cancer tissue by means of mass spectrometry, immunohistochemistry and gene expression array (validated by RT-PCR). All patients had castrate levels of serum androgen with reduced levels of intra-prostatic androgen at prostatectomy. Differential expression of known androgen regulated genes (TMPRSS2, KLK3, CAMKK2, FKBP5) was observed. We identified 749 genes downregulated and 908 genes upregulated following castration. AR regulation of AMACR expression and three other genes (FAM129A, RAB27A and KIAA0101) was confirmed. Up-regulation of oestrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) expression was observed in malignant epithelia. This was associated with differential expression of ESR1 regulated genes and correlated with proliferation (Ki67 expression).

Spermine is a natural suppressor of AR signaling in castration-resistant prostate cancer

Project description:In castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), clinical response to androgen receptor (AR) antagonists is limited mainly due to AR-variants expression and restored AR signaling. The metabolite spermine is most abundant in prostate and it decreases as prostate cancer progresses, but its functions remain poorly understood. Here, we show spermine inhibits full-length androgen receptor (AR-FL) and androgen receptor splice variant 7 (AR-V7) signaling and suppresses CRPC cell proliferation by directly binding and inhibiting protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT1. Spermine reduces H4R3me2a modification at the AR locus and suppresses AR binding as well as H3K27ac modification levels at AR target genes. Spermine supplementation restrains CRPC growth in vivo. PRMT1 inhibition also suppresses AR-FL and AR-V7 signaling and reduces CRPC growth. Collectively, we demonstrate spermine as an anticancer metabolite by inhibiting PRMT1 to transcriptionally inhibit AR-FL and AR-V7 signaling in CRPC, and we indicate spermine and PRMT1 inhibition as powerful strategies overcoming limitations of current AR-based therapies in CRPC.

Expression data from MCRedAL Prostate Tumors

Project description:Prostate tumor cells growth is interconected to androgen signaling. Indeed, the main line of treatment for advanced prostate cancer is focused on inhibiting androgen signaling by either surgical or pharmacological castration (or androgen-ablation, e.g. degarelix). We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression following androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process that could contribute to the development of castration resistance.

Androgen regulated gene expression in human prostate

Project description:Androgens are a prequisite for the development of human prostate and prostate cancer. Androgen action is mediated via androgen receptor. Androgen ablation therapy is used for the treatment of metastasized prostate cancer. The aim of the study was to identify genes differentially expressed in benign human prostate, prostate cancer and in prostate tissue three days after castration. These genes are potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets for prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. We used microarrays to examine the gene expression profiles in benign prostate adjacent to prostate cancer and prostate cancer in radical prostatectomy specimens and in prostate tissue samples taken 3 days after surgical castration performed for treatment of prostate cancer. Human prostate tissue was obtained from radical prostatectomy samples and from prostate biopsy samples (castrated samples). Benign and malignant tissues samples were microdissected from prostatectomy samples. Tissues were used for RNA isolation and were further processed as samples for microarray. Three prostatectomy samples were used as replicates (benign and malignant prostate). All prostate cancers were Gleason 3+3 pattern. Castrated tissue samples were taken from patients three days after surgical castration for the treatment of advanced or metastasized prostate cancer. Six biopsies were taken from each subject and individual subject samples were used as three replicates in microarray.

Single-minded homolog 2 resides in the chromatin protein network of androgen receptor and modulates gene expression in prostate cancer cells Single-minded homolog 2 resides in the chromatin protein network of androgen receptor and modulates gene expression in prostate cancer cells

Project description:We investigated the composition of chromatin protein network around endogenous androgen receptor (AR) in VCaP castration resistant prostate cancer cells using recently developed chromatin-directed proteomic approach called ChIP-SICAP . The androgen-induced AR chromatin protein network contained expected TFs, e.g. HOXB13, chromatin remodeling proteins, e.g. SMARCA4, and several novel candidates not previously associated with AR, e.g. prostate cancer biomarker SIM2. Based on these findings, the role of SMARCA4 and SIM2 was further characterized at AR chromatin domains . Silencing of SIM2 altered chromatin accessibility at a similar number of AR-binding sites as SMARCA4, an established ATPase subunit of the BAF chromatin remodeling complex, often aberrantly expressed in prostate cancer. Despite the wide co-occurrence on chromatin of SMARCA4 and AR, depletion of SMARCA4 influenced chromatin accessibility and expression of a restricted set of AR target genes, in particular those involved in cell morphogenetic changes in epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Silencing of SIM2, in turn, affected the expression of a much larger group of androgen-regulated genes, e.g. those involved in cellular responses to external stimuli and steroid hormone stimulus. The silencing also reduced proliferation of VCaP cells and tumor size in chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane assay, further suggesting the importance of SIM2 in the regulation prostate cancer cells.

Intraprostatic Androgens and Androgen-Regulated Gene Expression Persist Following Testosterone Suppression

Project description:Introduction: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) remains the primary treatment for advanced prostate cancer (PCa). The efficacy of ADT has not been rigorously evaluated by demonstrating suppression of prostatic androgen activity at the target tissue and molecular level. We determined the efficacy and consistency of medical castration in suppressing prostatic androgen levels and androgen-regulated gene-expression. Design: Androgen levels and androgen-regulated gene-expression (by microarray-profiling, qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry) were measured in prostate samples from a clinical trial of short-term castration (1 month) using the GnRH-antagonist, Acyline, vs. placebo in healthy men. To assess the effects of long-term ADT, gene-expression measurements were evaluated at baseline and after 3, 6 and 9 months of neoadjuvant ADT in prostatectomy samples from men with localized PCa. Results: Medical castration reduced tissue androgens by 75% and reduced the expression of several androgen-regulated genes (NDRG1, FKBP5, TMPRSS2). However, many androgen-responsive genes, including the androgen receptor (AR) and PSA, were not suppressed after short-term castration, nor after 9 months of neoadjuvant ADT. Significant heterogeneity in PSA and AR protein expression was observed in PCa samples at each time-point of ADT. Conclusions: Medical castration based on serum testosterone levels cannot be equated with androgen ablation in the prostate microenvironment. Standard androgen deprivation does not consistently suppress androgen-dependent gene-expression. Suboptimal suppression of tumoral androgen activity may lead to adaptive cellular changes allowing PCa cell survival in a low androgen environment. Optimal clinical efficacy will require testing of novel approaches targeting complete suppression of systemic and intracrine contributions to the prostatic androgen microenvironment.

Transcriptional repression activity of androgen receptor targets cell plasticity in prostate cancer: kinetic analysis after DHT treatment

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) signaling remains the key therapeutic target in the management of hormone-naïve advanced prostate cancer (PCa) and castration-resistant PCa (CRPC). Recently, landmark molecular features have been reported for CRPC, including the expression of constitutively active AR variants that lack the ligand-binding domain. Besides their role in CRPC, AR variants lead to the expression of genes involved in tumor progression. However, little is known about the specificity of their mode of action compared with that of wild-type AR (AR-WT). We performed AR transcriptome analyses in an androgen-dependent PCa cell line as well as cross-analyses with publicly available RNA-seq dataset and established that transcriptional repression capacity that was marked for AR-WT was pathologically lost by AR variants. Functional enrichment analyses allowed us to associate AR-WT repressive function to a panel of genes involved in cell adhesion and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. So, we postulate that a less documented AR-WT normal function in prostate epithelial cells could be the repression of a panel of genes linked to cell plasticity, and that this repressive function could be pathologically abrogated by AR variants in PCA.

Androgen Receptor Gene Expression in Prostate Cancer is Directly Suppressed by the Androgen Receptor Through Recruitment of Lysine Specific Demethylase 1

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) is reactivated in castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) through mechanisms including marked increases in AR gene expression. We identify an enhancer in the AR second intron contributing to increased AR expression at low androgen levels in CRPC. Moreover, at increased androgen levels the AR binds this site and represses AR gene expression through recruitment of lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) and H3K4me1,2 demethylation. AR similarly represses expression of multiple genes mediating androgen synthesis, DNA synthesis and proliferation, while stimulating genes mediating lipid and protein biosynthesis. Androgen levels in CRPC appear adequate to stimulate AR activity on enhancer elements, but not on suppressor elements, resulting in increased expression of AR and AR repressed genes that contribute to cellular proliferation. Custom Agilent 44K whole human genome expression oligonucleotide microarrays were used to profile pre-castrated androgen dependent, 4d-post-castrated, and relapsed castration resistant VCaP xenograft tumors in 3 mice. Total RNA was isolated and amplified prior to hybridization against a common reference pool of prostate tumor cell lines.

Comparative proteomic and transcriptomic analysis of the impact of androgen stimulation and darolutamide inhibition on prostate cancer cells

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) signaling is a major driver and therapy target in prostate cancer. Several inhibitors of AR function are approved for different stages of the disease and their impact on downstream gene transcription has been described. However, the ensuing effects of androgen and anti-androgens at the protein level are less well understood. Here, we focused on the AR inhibitor darolutamide which has recently been approved for non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Here we determined the impact of darolutamide, a recently approved AR antagonist which significantly extends progression-free and overall survival in non-metastatic CRPC (31, 32), on the prostate cancer proteome. We first determined the direct binding between darolutamide and the AR in living prostate cancer cells in a label-free context using the cellular high throughput thermal shift assay (CETSA HT). We then generated comprehensive proteomic profiles of prostate cancer cells treated with androgen and darolutamide, and compared them with transcriptomic profiles. We found a generally high concordance between proteomic and transcriptomic data, both on the level of detected expressed genes and their protein products, as well as in terms of the corresponding biological programs. However there were cases where protein and gene expression levels were not regulated in parallel, suggesting an additional post-transcriptional regulation step controlling protein abundance to occur in several instances.
