Rb and p53 cooperate to suppress prostate cancer lineage plasticity, metastasis, and antiandrogen resistance

ABSTRACT: 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.

TMPRSS2-ERG suppresses PTEN/TP53 alteration-induced cancer lineage plasticity

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.

Regulation of the glucocorticoid receptor via a BET-dependent enhancer drives antiandrogen resistance in prostate cancer

Project description:In prostate cancer, resistance to the antiandrogen enzalutamide (Enz) can occur through bypass of androgen receptor (AR) blockade by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). In contrast to fixed genomic alterations, here we show that GR-mediated antiandrogen resistance is adaptive and reversible due to regulation of GR expression by a tissue-specific enhancer. GR expression is silenced in prostate cancer by a combination of AR binding and EZH2-mediated repression at the GR locus, but is restored in advanced prostate cancers upon reversion of both repressive signals. Remarkably, BET bromodomain inhibition resensitizes drug-resistant tumors to Enz by selectively impairing the GR signaling axis via this enhancer. In addition to revealing an underlying molecular mechanism of GR-driven drug resistance, these data suggest that inhibitors of broadly active chromatin-readers could have utility in nuanced clinical contexts of acquired drug resistance with a more favorable therapeutic index.

Analysis of gene expression (RNAseq) from shTP53:RB1 LNCaP/AR cell lines

Project description:Some cancers evade targeted therapies through a mechanism known as lineage plasticity, whereby tumor cells acquire phenotypic characteristics of a cell lineage whose survival no longer depends on the drug target. Here we show, using in vitro and in vivo prostate cancer models, that these tumors can develop resistance to the antiandrogen drug enzalutamide by a phenotypic shift from androgen receptor (AR) dependent luminal epithelial cells to AR independent basal-like cells. This lineage plasticity is enabled by loss of TP53 and RB1 function, is mediated by increased expression of the reprogramming transcription factor SOX2 and can be reversed by restoring TP53 and RB1 function or by inhibiting SOX2 expression. Thus, mutations in tumor suppressor genes can create a state of increased cellular plasticity that, when challenged with antiandrogen therapy, promotes resistance through lineage switching.

Role of Specialized Composition of SWI/SNF Complexes in Prostate Cancer Lineage Plasticity

Project description:Advanced prostate cancer initially responds to hormonal treatment, but ultimately becomes resistant and requires more potent therapies. One mechanism of resistance seen in 10% of these patients is through lineage plasticity, which manifests in a partial or complete small cell or neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) phenotype. Here, we investigate the role of the mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex in NEPC. Using large patient datasets, patient-derived organoids and cancer cell lines, we identify SWI/SNF subunits that are deregulated in NEPC, demonstrate that SMARCA4 (BRG1) overexpression is associated with aggressive disease and that SMARCA4 depletion impairs prostate cancer cell growth. We also show that SWI/SNF complexes interact with different lineage-specific factors in prostate adenocarcinoma and in NEPC cells, and that induction of lineage plasticity through depletion of REST is accompanied by changes in SWI/SNF genome occupancy. These data suggest a specific role for mSWI/SNF complexes in therapy-related lineage plasticity, which may be relevant for other solid tumors.

ZNF397 Deficiency Triggers TET2-driven Lineage Plasticity and AR-Targeted Therapy Resistance in Prostate Cancer [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Cancer cells exhibit phenotypical plasticity and epigenetic reprogramming, which allows them to evade lineage-dependent targeted treatments by adopting lineage plasticity. The underlying mechanisms by which cancer cells exploit the epigenetic regulatory machinery to acquire lineage plasticity and therapy resistance remain poorly understood. We identified Zinc Finger Protein 397 (ZNF397) as a bona fide coactivator of the androgen receptor (AR), essential for the transcriptional program governing AR-driven luminal lineage. ZNF397 deficiency facilitates the transition of cancer cell from an AR-driven luminal lineage to a Ten-Eleven Translocation 2 (TET2)-driven lineage plastic state, ultimately promoting resistance to therapies inhibiting AR signaling. Intriguingly, our findings indicate that a TET2 inhibitor can eliminate the AR targeted therapies resistance in ZNF397-deficient tumors. These insights uncover a novel mechanism through which prostate cancer acquires lineage plasticity via epigenetic rewiring and offers promising implications for clinical interventions designed to overcome therapy resistance dictated by lineage plasticity.

Reversal of lineage plasticity in RB1/TP53-deleted prostate cancer through FGFR and Janus kinase inhibition

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.

Lineage plasticity in prostate cancer depends on JAK/STAT inflammatory signaling

Project description:In many cancers, treatment failure is linked to changes in tumor cell state or lineage, and often involves the reactivation of stem-like or developmental transcriptional programs. How this plasticity unfolds at a molecular level and whether it plays a causal role in drug resistance remains unclear. Here, we model the origin and dynamics of lineage plasticity in prostate cancer and its relationship to antiandrogen-based therapeutic resistance. In time course experiments utilizing genetically engineered mouse models and murine organoid cultures of prostate cancer, we find that plasticity initiates in an epithelial population defined by mixed luminal and basal lineage gene expression, and that it depends on elevated JAK and FGFR kinase activity. Organoid cultures from patients with late-stage castration-resistant disease harboring mixed-lineage cells reproduce the dependency we observe in mice, by upregulating luminal gene expression upon JAK and FGFR kinase inhibitor treatment. Single-cell analysis of human tumor samples confirms the presence of mixed lineage cells with elevated JAK/STAT and FGFR signaling in a subset of patients with metastatic disease, with implications for stratifying patients for clinical trials.
