Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) is an important driver in the disease progression of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Speckle-type BTB/POZ protein (SPOP) mutations stabilize AR and frequently co-occur with the loss of chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 1 (CHD1). We generated a new genetically engineered mouse model and prostate cancer cells model containing CHD1 deletion and SPOP mutation to study the underlying mechanism. We found CHD1 loss–induced cholesterol production supplies intratumoral androgen biosynthesis and retains AR transcriptional activity in SPOP-mutated prostate tumors, leading to castration resistance.

While the co-operation of cancer driver genes in tumorigenesis has been studied, little is known about the interplay of driver mutations that never co-occur within the same cancer cells. The latter scenario has been identified in prostate cancer where recurrent gene fusions involving the oncogenic ERG transcription factor and point mutations in the ubiquitin ligase adaptor SPOP are strictly mutually exclusive. Nevertheless, the underlying basis of this observation is poorly understood. Here, we show that ERG and mutant SPOP, even though oncogenic on their own, are together synthetic sick. At the molecular level, both driver genes inhibit each other in a reciprocal manner. In ERG-driven tumors, wild type SPOP is required to dampen androgen receptor (AR) signaling and sustain ERG activity in part through its ability to degrade the bromodomain histone reader ZMYND11. Consequently, loss-of-function mutations in SPOP unleash excessive AR signaling and reduce ERG function. Conversely, oncogenic androgen receptor signaling driven by mutant SPOP is repressed by ERG. The incompatibility of mutant SPOP and ERG may help to understand why SPOP mutant tumors frequently harbor gene deletions in the chromatin-modifying enzyme CHD1. We find that mutant SPOP promotes the generation of ERG rearrangements in a CHD1-dependent manner. Thus, CHD1 gene deletions may protect SPOP-mutant tumors from ERG-mediated growth inhibition. Taken together, our findings reveal the existence of divergent and incompatible paths towards prostate cancer that converge on SPOP function.

Project description:SPOP is a ubiquitin ligase adaptor frequently mutated in prostate cancer. It is involved in ubiquitination and degradation of substrate proteins. We examined the impact of wild-type and mutant SPOP on the transcriptional profile of prostate cancer cells. We cloned several naturally occurring (in human prostate cancer) SPOP mutants and expressed the corresponding constructs in prostate cancer cells. Our experimental conditions were: Human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP-Abl), transfected with control vector, SPOP-wt, and any of the following mutants: SPOP-F102C, SPOP-F133V, SPOP-F133L (2-4 biological replicates each). We analyzed their gene expression profiles for differences induced by SPOP-wt vs SPOP-mutant.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Deletion of the chromatin remodeler CHD1 is a common genomic alteration found in human prostate cancers (PCas). CHD1 loss represents a distinct PCa subtype characterized by SPOP mutation and higher genomic instability [1-3]. However, the role of CHD1 in PCa development in vivo and its clinical utility remain unclear. DESIGN: To study the role of CHD1 in PCa development and its loss in clinical management, we generated a genetically engineered mouse model with prostate-specific deletion of murine Chd1 as well as isogenic CHD1 WT and homozygous deleted human benign and PCa lines. We also developed patient-derived organoid cultures and screened patients with metastatic PCa for CHD1 loss. RESULTS: We demonstrate that CHD1 loss sensitizes cells to DNA damage and causes a synthetic lethal response to DNA damaging therapy in vivo, ex vivo and in a patient with metastatic PCa. Mechanistically, CHD1 loss leads to decreased error-free homologous recombination (HR) repair, which is compensated by increased error-prone non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair for DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides the first in vivo and in patient evidence supporting the role of CHD1 in DSB repair and in response to DNA damaging therapy. We uncover mechanistic insights that CHD1 modulates the choice between HR and NHEJ and suggest that CHD1 loss may contribute to genomic instability seen in this subset of PCa patients.

Project description:The active form of the SREBP2 transcription factor was specifically overexpressed in the intesitne. This was achieved by generating transgenic mouse model (designated as ISR2) in which the transgene represents the N-terminal active SREBP2 transcription factor driven by the villin promoter. In this project, we investigated the effects of overactivation of SREBP2 on gene expression in mouse jejunum Gene expression profile in the jejunum of ISR2 was compared to gene expression profile in the jejunum of their wild type littermates.

Project description:SPOP is known to bind to serine/theronine-rich degrons on substrate proteins. We identified two degron sequences within the PWWP and MYND domain of ZMYND11, a novel SPOP substrate, and investigated whether ZMYND11 may contribute to the transcriptional output of mutant SPOP in VCaP cancer cells. Hence, we performed over-expression of degron-deficient ZMYND11 and degron-deficient ZMYND11 with W294A mutation in VCaP cells. While WT ZMYND11 constructs can be robustly over-expressed at the mRNA level, only the degron-deficient variants yielded a robost increase in ZMYND11 protein expression. Degron mutant-induced transcriptional perturbations partially mimicked SPOP mutant-induced gene expression changes, suggesting that ZMYND11 is sufficient to recapitulate certain features of mutant SPOP.

Project description:Recurrent point mutations in SPOP define a distinct molecular subclass of prostate cancer. Here, we describe the first mouse model showing that mutant SPOP drives prostate tumorigenesis in vivo. Conditional expression of mutant SPOP in the prostate dramatically altered phenotypes in the setting of Pten loss, with early neoplastic lesions (high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia) with striking nuclear atypia, and invasive poorly differentiated carcinoma. In mouse prostate organoids, mutant SPOP drove increased proliferation and a transcriptional signature consistent with human prostate cancer. Using these models and human prostate cancer samples, we show that SPOP mutation activates both PI3K/mTOR and androgen receptor (AR) signaling, effectively uncoupling the normal negative feedback between these two pathways.

Project description:SPOP is known to bind to serine/theronine-rich degrons on substrate proteins. We identified two degron sequences within the PWWP and MYND domain of ZMYND11, a novel SPOP substrate, and investigated whether ZMYND11 may contribute to the transcriptional output of mutant SPOP in VCaP cancer cells. We mapped the genomic occupancy of ZMYND11 in VCaP cells over-expressing either wild type SPOP or the recurrent SPOP-Y87C mutant by ChIPseq. Genomic binding sites in the SPOP-Y87C mutant were increased over wild type SPOP, consistent with the increased ZMYND11 expression levels in the former.
