AR-independent prostate cancer is sustained through FGF signaling

ABSTRACT: Androgen receptor (AR) signaling is a distinctive feature of prostate cancer (PC) and represents the major therapeutic target for the treatment of metastatic disease. Though highly effective, AR antagonism has the potential to generate tumors that bypass a functional requirement for AR activity. We show here that a phenotypic shift has occurred in metastatic PCs with the emer-gence of a double-negative AR-null neuroendocrine-null phenotype that is notable for MAPK and FGF pathway activity. To identify mechanisms capable of sustaining PC survival, we gener-ated a model system designated AR program-independent prostate cancer (APIPC) which re-sists AR-targeted therapeutics, lacks neuroendocrine features, expresses high levels of FGF8 and the ID1 oncogene, and activates MAPK signaling. Pharmacological blockade of MAPK or FGF signaling inhibited APIPC tumor growth, supporting FGF/MAPK as a therapeutic avenue for treating AR-null PC.

Targeting the fibroblast growth factor pathway in molecular subtypes of castration-resistant prostate cancer

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) pathway inhibition remains the cornerstone for first- and second-line prostate cancer therapies. Although AR signaling inhibitors, such as enzalutamide and abiraterone extend survival in recurrent and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), durable and complete responses are rare. Resistance mechanisms employed by metastatic CRPC include amplification of AR and AR splice variants in AR-positive CRPC (ARPC) and conversion to AR-null phenotypes, such as double-negative prostate cancer (DNPC) and small cell or neuroendocrine prostate cancer (SCNPC). We have shown previously that DNPC can bypass AR-dependence through fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling. However, the role of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) pathway in other molecular subtypes of CRPC has not been elucidated.

Current androgen deprivation induces androgen receptor-independent prostate cancer via HGF and Wnt activation to foster nuclear export and ribosome biogenesis [RNA-seq]

Project description:To inhibit the re-activation of AR-promoted tumor growth via residual androgens, more potent AR antagonists and inhibitors for androgen synthesis have been developed in the decades. While these second-generation antagonists/inhibitors showed some effectiveness clinically, they also induced more diverse castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) phenotypes. Specifically, a subpopulation of AR- and neuroendocrine (NE)-null PC cells, DNPC, occurs frequently in CRPC patients treated with abiraterone and enzalutamide, increasing metastatic CRPC incidences and the mortality of prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa). Understanding the mechanisms for DNPC will directly improve clinical outcomes.

RET Kinase Inhibition in Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer, part 2

Project description:Increased treatment of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with second-generation anti-androgen therapies (ADT) has coincided with a greater incidence of lethal, aggressive variant prostate cancer (AVPC) tumors that have lost androgen receptor (AR) signaling. AVPC tumors may also express neuroendocrine markers, termed neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). Recent evidence suggests kinase signaling may be an important driver of NEPC. To identify targetable kinases in NEPC, we performed global phosphoproteomics comparing AR-negative to AR-positive prostate cancer cell lines and identified multiple altered signaling pathways, including enrichment of RET kinase activity in the AR-negative cell lines. Clinical NEPC and NEPC patient derived xenografts displayed upregulated RET transcript and RET pathway activity. Pharmacologically inhibiting RET kinase in NEPC models dramatically reduced tumor growth and cell viability in mouse and human NEPC models. Our results suggest that targeting RET in NEPC tumors with high RET expression may be a novel treatment option.

Temporal evolution of cellular heterogeneity during the progression to advanced, AR-negative prostate cancer [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Despite advances in the development of highly effective androgen receptor (AR)-directed therapies for the treatment of men with advanced prostate cancer, acquired resistance ultimately ensues. A significant subset of patients with resistant disease develop AR-null, androgen-indifferent tumors that lose their luminal identify and display neuroendocrine features (neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC)). Utilizing a genetically engineered mouse model, we have characterized the synergy between N-Myc overexpression and RB1 loss-of-function which results in the formation of AR-negative, poorly differentiated tumors with high metastatic potential. Single-cell-based approaches revealed striking changes to the transcriptome and chromatin accessibility during the transition to NEPC. Global DNA methylation and the N-Myc cistrome are redirected following RB1 loss. Altogether, our data provide new insight into the progression to NEPC.
