Tumor-Specific Retrogene NANOGP8 Reprograms Prostate Cancer Cells to Castration Resistance by Engaging the FOXA1/AR Signaling Axis and MYC [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Targeted disruption of the embryonic stem cell (ESC) self-renewal and pluripotency factor NANOG diminishes cancer cell clonogenic growth in vitro and tumor development in vivo. NANOG has also been shown to augment CSC properties and propel the emergence of castration-resistance prostate cancer (CRPC) phenotypes. Here, we investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying NANOG-mediated oncogenesis and prostate cancer progression to androgen independence. ChIP-Seq analysis of LNCaP prostate cancer cells overexpressing doxycycline-inducible NANOG (either NANOG1 or NANOGP8 vs pLVX control) reveal that NANOG coordinately occupies regions of chromatin regulated by AR signaling steroid-receptor complex proteins AR, FOXA1 and NKX3.1. Taken together with the NANOG-induced changes in the prostate cancer transcriptome (RNA-Seq), NANOG appears to reprogram prostate cancer cells to castration resistance by converging on steroid-hormone receptor signaling.

Project description:The androgen receptor (AR) is a mediator of both androgen-dependent and castration- resistant prostate cancers. Identification of cellular factors affecting AR transcriptional activity could in principle yield new targets that reduce AR activity and combat prostate cancer, yet a comprehensive analysis of the genes required for AR-dependent transcriptional activity has not been determined. Using an unbiased genetic approach that takes advantage of the evolutionary conservation of AR signaling, we have conducted a genome-wide RNAi screen in Drosophila cells for genes required for AR transcriptional activity and applied the results to human prostate cancer cells. We identified 45 AR-regulators, which include known pathway components and genes with functions not previously linked to AR regulation, such as HIPK2 (a protein kinase) and MED19 (a subunit of the Mediator complex). Depletion of HIPK2 and MED19 in human prostate cancer cells decreased AR target gene expression and, importantly, reduced the proliferation of androgen-dependent and castration-resistant prostate cancer cells. We also systematically analyzed additional Mediator subunits and uncovered a small subset of Mediator subunits that interpret AR signaling and affect AR-dependent transcription and prostate cancer cell proliferation. Importantly, targeting of HIPK2 by an FDA approved kinase inhibitor phenocopied the effect of depletion by RNAi and reduced the growth of AR-positive, but not AR negative, treatment-resistant prostate cancer cells. Thus, our screen has yielded new AR regulators including drugable targets that reduce the proliferation of castration-resistant prostate cancer cells. HIPK2 and MED19 were identified via a genome-wide RNAi screen as new androgen receptor (AR) reulators. Our goal in performing this microarray was to identify the gene regulated by HIPK2 and MED19 in a late stage prostate cancer cell line (LNCaP-abl), and to see what genes are in common with known genes to be regulated by AR, and what genes are unique to HIPK2 or MED19. Knockdown of HIPK2 and MED19 was tested in LNCaP-abl cells against control. Each was performed in duplicates. Six samples were analyzed
