Project description:Prostate cancers (PC) with loss of the potent tumor suppressors TP53 and RB1 exhibit poor outcomes that include resistance to androgen receptor (AR) pathway antagonists. TP53 and RB1 also influence cell plasticity and are frequently lost in PCs with neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation. Therapeutic strategies that address these aggressive variant PCs are urgently needed. Using deep genomic profiling of 410 metastatic biopsies, we determined the relationships between combined TP53 and RB1 loss and PC phenotypes. Notably, 40% of TP53/RB1 deficient tumors were classified as AR-active adenocarcinomas indicating that NE differentiation is not an obligate consequence of TP53/RB1 inactivation. A gene expression signature reflecting TP53/RB1 loss was associated with diminished responses to AR antagonists and reduced survival. These tumors exhibit high proliferation rates and evidence of elevated DNA repair processes. While tumor cells lacking TP53/RB1 were highly resistant to all single agent therapeutics, the combination of pharmacological PARP and ATR inhibition produced significant responses, reflecting a clinically-exploitable vulnerability resulting from replication stress.

Project description:The inherent plasticity of tumor cells provides a mechanism of resistance to many molecularly targeted therapies, exemplified by adeno-to-neuroendocrine lineage transitions seen in prostate and lung cancer. Here we investigate the root cause of this lineage plasticity in a primary murine prostate organoid model that mirrors the lineage transition seen in patients. These cells lose luminal identity within weeks following deletion of Trp53 and Rb1, ultimately acquiring an Ar-negative, Syp+ phenotype after orthotopic in vivo transplantation. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis revealed progressive mixing of luminal-basal lineage features after tumor suppressor gene deletion, accompanied by activation of Jak/Stat and Fgfr pathway signaling and interferon-a and -g gene expression programs prior to any morphologic changes. Genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of Jak1/2 in combination with FGFR blockade restored luminal differentiation and sensitivity to antiandrogen therapy in models with residual AR expression. Collectively, we show lineage plasticity initiates quickly as a largely cell-autonomous process and, through newly developed computational approaches, identify a pharmacological strategy that restores lineage identity using clinical grade inhibitors.

Project description:Prostate cancer relapsing from antiandrogen therapies can exhibit variant histology with altered lineage marker expression, suggesting lineage plasticity facilitates therapeutic resistance. Mechanisms underlying prostate cancer lineage plasticity are unknown, and relevant experimental models are needed. We demonstrate Rb1 loss facilitates lineage plasticity and metastasis of prostate adenocarcinoma initiated by Pten mutation in the mouse. Additional loss of Trp53 causes resistance to antiandrogen therapy. Gene expression profiling indicates mouse tumors are comparable to human prostate cancer neuroendocrine variants; both mouse and human tumors exhibit increased expression of epigenetic reprogramming factors like Ezh2 and Sox2. Clinically relevant Ezh2 inhibitors restore androgen receptor expression and sensitivity to antiandrogen therapy. These findings uncover genetic mutations enabling prostate cancer progression, identify mouse models for studying prostate cancer lineage plasticity, and suggest an epigenetic approach for extending clinical responses to antiandrogen therapy.

Project description:Lineage plasticity is a major mechanism driving prostate cancer progression and antiandrogen therapy resistance. Deletions or mutations in phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and TP53 tumor suppressor genes have been linked to lineage plasticity in prostate cancer. Fusion-driven overexpression of the E-twenty-six transformation specific (ETS)-related gene (ERG), encoding an oncogenic transcription factor, is observed in approximately 50% of all prostate cancers, yet its role in prostate cell lineage determination remains elusive. Here we demonstrate that transgenic expression of prostate cancer-associated ERG blocks Pten and Trp53 mutation-induced decreased expression of Ar and its downstream target genes and loss of luminal epithelial cell identity in the mouse prostate. Integrative analyses of ERG chromatin-immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and transcriptome data show that ERG suppresses expression of a subset of cell cycle-promoting genes and RB phosphorylation, which in turn causes repression of E2F1-mediated expression of non-epithelial lineage genes. Xenograft studies show that PTEN/TP53 double mutated prostate tumors are responsive to the cyclin-dependent kinase 4 or 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor palbociclib, but resistant to the AR inhibitor enzalutamide, while ERG/PTEN/TP53 triple-mutated prostate tumors behave completely opposite. Our studies identify ERG and the repressed cell cycle gene signature as intrinsic inhibitors of PTEN/TP53 double mutation-elicited lineage plasticity in prostate cancer. Our findings also suggest that ERG fusion can be utilized as a biomarker to guide the treatment of PTEN/TP53-mutated, RB1-intact prostate cancer with either antiandrogen or anti-CDK4/6 therapies.

Project description:Emerging evidence indicates that various cancers, including prostate, breast, melanoma and lung cancers, could gain resistance to targeted therapies by acquiring lineage plasticity. Although various genomic and transcriptomic aberrations correlate with lineage plasticity-driven resistance, the molecular mechanisms and kinetics of acquiring lineage plasticity are not fully elucidated. Through integrated transcriptomic and single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) analysis of more than 80,000 cells, we show that the ectopic activation of Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway drives lineage plasticity and Androgen Receptor (AR) targeted therapy resistance in PCa with TP53/RB1-deficiency. Ectopic activation of JAK-STAT signaling enables Heterogeneous and AR-independent subclones to emerge upon the selective pressure of AR targeted therapy, including subclones expressing multi-lineage, progenitor-like and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like lineage survival transcriptional programs. Both genetic and pharmaceutical inactivation of key components of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway significantly re-sensitizes resistant PCa tumors to AR targeted therapy. In summary, these results show for the first time that JAK-STAT signaling pathway is a key effector in driving lineage plasticity and represents a potential therapeutic target for overcoming AR targeted therapy resistance.

Project description:The transdifferentiation from adenocarcinoma following androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is thought to be the primary process leading to the development of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). However, it remains unclear how lineage factors interact with ADT to endow the lineage transition. Through an integrated analysis of NEPC-based CRISPR-Cas9 screening and scRNA-seq tracking of tumor transitions, we unveil that antiandrogen-induced ZMYND8-dependent epigenetic programming orchestrates the transdifferentiation of NEPC. We demonstrate that the ablation of Zmynd8 restricts NEPC development in Pten/Trp53/Rb1 knockout mouse models. Conversely, ASCL1-induced upregulation of ZMYND8 shapes the neuroendocrine (NE) lineage to confer resistance to AR-targeted therapy. Mechanistically, FOXM1, a key regulator in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), stabilizes ZMYND8 binding to chromatin regions harboring H3K4me1-K14ac modification and FOXM1 targeting. Antiandrogen treatment frees the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex from AR, enabling its interaction with ZMYND8/FOXM1 to upregulate key NE lineage regulators (e.g., FOXA2, SOX2, and POU3F2), thus inducing transdifferentiation. Having identified ZMYND8's link to adverse disease outcomes in CRPC patients, we develop a small molecule, ZMYND8i-34, designed to selectively inhibit its histone recognition. In pre-clinical models, ZMYND8i-34 treatment effectively blocks NE transdifferentiation and curtails CRPC development. Together, our results highlight the importance of antiandrogen treatment endowing ZMYND8-dependent epigenetic reprogramming to orchestrate lineage fate and suggest that targeting ZMYND8 may hold the potential to restrict NEPC development and overcome treatment resistance.
