Project description:The prognosis of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is variable. Several blood-related prognostic factors have been reported, including transcriptional profiling of whole blood and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio. We aimed to address the contribution of distinct whole blood immune cell components to the prognosis of these patients. Subjects/Patients and Methods: Pre-treatment whole blood samples from chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC patients were prospectively collected before treatment with enzalutamide. The study consisted of a training cohort including 98 patients treated with enzalutamide in a phase 2 biomarker clinical trial (NCT02288936)

Project description:There are many treatment options available for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Yet, biomarkers predictive of differential response to treatment are currently available. A recent translational study suggested that SLCO2B1 genotype could predict response to abiraterone acetate (AA) for men with advanced prostate cancer. Here, we investigate whether germline variants in SLCO2B1 are predictive of response to first-line AA in men with new mCRPC. Clinical data and samples were analyzed from a prospective prostate cancer registry at the University of Utah. Genotyping was performed using the Illumina OmniExpress genotyping platform. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) on first-line AA in men with mCRPC. We performed a pre-specified multivariate Cox regression analysis to assess the independent predictive value of rs12422149 and rs1789693 on PFS on AA. Of 401 men with advanced prostate cancer genotyped, 323 were homozygous wild type for rs12422149 (80.5%), 74 were heterozygous (18.5%), and 4 were homozygous variant (1.0%). In a multivariate analysis of 79 men treated with first-line AA for mCRPC, men heterozygous for rs12422149 had significantly improved median PFS compared to the homozygous wild-type group (8.9 months vs. 6.3 months, HR 0.46, 95% CI 0.23-0.94, p=0.03). No significant difference in median PFS was seen by rs1789693 genotype. In this first clinical validation of translational data reported by Mostaghel and colleagues, germline variant alleles in rs12422149 of SLCO2B1 are common and predict improved response to first-line AA In men with mCRPC.

Project description:The widespread and long-term use of potent therapies designed to repress androgen receptor (AR) signaling is changing the molecular and phenotypic landscapes of prostate cancer. We conducted molecular profiling of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patient specimens and patient-derived xenograft models and identified five distinct mCRPC phenotypes. Herein, we characterize an AR-low phenotype that has low AR expression with concomitant decreases in a subset of AR regulated genes, and an amphicrine phenotype that has both AR and neuroendocrine activity in the same cell. Furthermore, our data highlight an emerging squamous cell mCRPC phenotype.

Project description:PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase)/AKT and RAS/MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) pathway coactivation in the prostate epithelium promotes both epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), which is currently incurable. To study the dynamic regulation of the EMT process, we developed novel genetically defined cellular and in vivo model systems from which epithelial, EMT and mesenchymal-like tumor cells with Pten deletion and Kras activation can be isolated. When cultured individually, each population has the capacity to regenerate all three tumor cell populations, indicative of epithelial–mesenchymal plasticity. Despite harboring the same genetic alterations, mesenchymal-like tumor cells are resistant to PI3K and MAPK pathway inhibitors, suggesting that epigenetic mechanisms may regulate the EMT process, as well as dictate the heterogeneous responses of cancer cells to therapy. Among differentially expressed epigenetic regulators, the chromatin remodeling protein HMGA2 is significantly upregulated in EMT and mesenchymal-like tumors cells, as well as in human mCRPC. Knockdown of HMGA2, or suppressing HMGA2 expression with the histone deacetylase inhibitor LBH589, inhibits epithelial–mesenchymal plasticity and stemness activities in vitro and markedly reduces tumor growth and metastasis in vivo through successful targeting of EMT and mesenchymal-like tumor cells. Importantly, LBH589 treatment in combination with castration prevents mCRPC development and significantly prolongs survival following castration by enhancing p53 and androgen receptor acetylation and in turn sensitizing castration-resistant mesenchymal-like tumor cells to androgen deprivation therapy. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that cellular plasticity is regulated epigenetically, and that mesenchymal-like tumor cell populations in mCRPC that are resistant to conventional and targeted therapies can be effectively treated with the epigenetic inhibitor LBH589.

Project description:Informed consent was obtained to collect human mCRPC tissues and generate the patient-derived xenograft tumors as described previously (Labrecque et al., 2019; Nguyen et al., 2017). The study was approved by the University of Washington Human Subjects Division institutional review board (no. 39053). All animal studies were approved by University of Washington IACUC and performed according to NIH guidelines. Molecular characterization of AR+ mCRPC LuCaP PDXs 70CR, 78CR, 81CR, 96CR, 105CR, 136CR and 147CR was previously described (Labrecque et al., 2019; Nguyen et al., 2017). LuCaP PDX 167CR was established from a liver metastasis of 77-year-old Caucasian male who died of abiraterone-, carboplatin- and docetaxel-resistant CRPC. LuCaP 167CR expresses AR, responds to castration and is negative for synaptophysin. PDX cellular morphology recapitulates the original liver metastasis (Supplementary Figure S8A).

Project description:Background: Current therapeutic options in the course of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancers (mCRPC) reinforce the need for reliable tools to characterize the tumor in a dynamic way. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have emerged as a viable solution to the problem, whereby patients with a variety of solid tumors, including PC, often do not have recent tumor tissue available for analysis. The biomarker characterization in CTCs could provide insights into the current state of the disease and an overall picture of the intra-tumor heterogeneity. Methods: in the present study, we applied a global gene expression characterization of the CTC population from mCRPC (n = 9), with the goal to better understand the biology of these cells and identify the relevant molecules favoring this tumor progression. Results: This analysis allowed the identification of 50 genes specifically expressed in CTCs from patients. Six of these markers (HOXB13, QKI, MAOA, MOSPD1, SDK1, and FGD4), were validated in a cohort of 28 mCRPC, showing clinical interest for the management of these patients. Of note, the activity of this CTC signature was related to the regulation of MYC, a gene strongly implicated in the biology of mCRPC. Conclusions: Overall, our results represent new evidence on the great value of CTCs as a non-invasive biopsy to characterize PC.
