Project description:Chromosomal rearrangements involving ETS factors, ERG and ETV1, occur frequently in prostate cancer. We here examine mouse prostate cells from WT mice with s with T-ETV1 mice, which contains express the truncated human ETV1 under the endogenous Tmprss2 promoter. ETV1 expression can be tracked by GFP expression. Primary prostate cells were isolated and luminal prostate cells were FACS-sorted by CD49F+ Sca1- from the lineage (CD31, CD45, Ter119) negative fraction. Total RNA was extracted from three biological replicates, and amplified using NuGEN V2cDNA amplification kit. This was used to hybridize to Affymetrix expression arrays using the Mouse Genome 430 2.0 platform.

Project description:Chromosomal rearrangements involving ETS factors, ERG and ETV1, occur frequently in prostate cancer. How these factors contribute to tumorigenesis and whether they play similar in vivo roles remain elusive. We show that ERG and ETV1 control a common transcriptional network but in an opposing fashion. In mice with ERG or ETV1 targeted to the endogenous Tmprss2 locus, either factors cooperated with Pten-loss, leading to localized cancer, but only ETV1 supported development of advanced adenocarcinoma, likely through enhancement of androgen receptor signaling and steroid biosynthesis. Indeed, ETV1 expression promotes autonomous testosterone production, which may contribute to tumor progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer. Patient data confirmed association of ETV1 expression with aggressive disease. We conclude that despite many shared targets, ERG and ETV1 contribute differently to prostate tumor biology. Hence, prostate cancers with these fusions should be considered as distinct subtypes for patient stratification and therapy. Genomic targets of ERG and ETV1 transcription factors were identified by antibody-mediated and biotin-mediated ChIP-chip in human VCaP and LNCaP cells, respectively.

Project description:The proto-oncogenes ETV1, ETV4, and ETV5 encode members of the E26 transformation-specific (ETS) transcription factor family, which includes the most frequently rearranged and overexpressed genes in prostate cancer. Despite being critical regulators of development, little is known about their post-translational regulation. Here we identify the ubiquitin ligase COnstitutive Photomorphogenic-1 (COP1, also called RFWD2) as a tumor suppressor that negatively regulates ETV1, ETV4, and ETV5. ETV1, which is the member mutated more frequently in prostate cancer, was degraded after being ubiquitinated by COP1. Truncated ETV1 encoded by prostate cancer translocation TMPRSS2:ETV1 lacks the critical COP1 binding motifs (degrons) and was 50-fold more stable than wild-type ETV1. Almost all patient translocations eliminate these ETV1 degrons, implying that translocations rendering ETV1 insensitive to COP1 confer a significant selective advantage to prostate epithelial cells. Indeed, COP1 deficiency in mouse prostate elevated ETV1 levels and produced increased cell proliferation, hyperplasia, and early prostate intraepithelial neoplasia. The combined loss of COP1 and PTEN enhanced the invasiveness of mouse prostate adenocarcinomas. Finally, relatively rare human prostate cancer samples showed hemizygous loss of the COP1 gene, loss of COP1 protein expression, and abnormally elevated ETV1 protein while lacking a translocation event. These findings identify COP1 as a bona fide tumor suppressor whose down-regulation promotes prostatic epithelial cell proliferation and tumorigenesis.

LNCap prostate cancer cell line were treated with 5 different sets of siRNAs: (1) control siRNA; (2) COP1 (RFWD2) siRNA; (3) COP1 siRNA + ETV1 siRNA; (4) COP1 siRNA + c-JUN siRNA; (5) COP1 siRNA + ETV1 siRNA + c-JUN siRNA. The experiments were conducted in two batches; each batch has its own control siRNA group, so that the batch effect can be properly modelled. Each group has 4-6 replicates; there are 31 samples in total.

Project description:Methods: To characterize the expression profile of ERF-CIC deleted prostate cells, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing of PNT2 ERF knock down and CIC knockout cell line. Results: We found that CIC and ERF loss were significantly associated with the ETV1-regulated gene set but was anti-correlated with the TMPRSS2-ERG fusion signature gene set. The enrichment gene signature of ERF-CIC dual loss was similar to ERF loss alone and ETV1-regulated gene set signature. Conclusions: Our results provide relevant insights about a new subtype of prostate cancer with ERF and CIC codeletion

Project description:Common epithelial cancers are believed to become more aggressive through the accumulation of multiple independent molecular events that lead to the deregulation of cell signaling. However, the discovery that the majority of prostate cancers harbor gene fusions of the 5'-untranslated region of androgen regulated TMPRSS2 promoter with ETS transcription factor family members has brought this paradigm into question1,2. TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion is the most common molecular sub-type of prostate cancer. Recent work suggests that the TMPRSS2-ERG fusion is associated with a more aggressive clinical phenotype3. In the most advanced castration resistant prostate cancers where the androgen receptor has been inactivated, the TMPRSS2-ERG fusion remains functionally active. Here we show compelling clinical and gene expression data supporting the existence of a TMPRSS2-ERG fusion prostate cancer subclass. Using expression array profiling on 455 primary prostate tumors, we identified an 87 gene expression signature, distinguishing TMPRSS2-ERG fusion prostate cancer as a discrete molecular entity. Computational analysis suggested that this fusion signature was associated with estrogen receptor signaling. Functional studies demonstrated regulation of the TMPRSS2-ERG fusion transcript by estrogenic compounds. These data identify a previously unrecognized mechanism for regulation of the TMPRSS2-ERG, even in the absence of a functional androgen receptor, and thus may have broader implications in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Project description:TMPRSS2 is an androgen-regulated cell surface serine protease expressed predominantly in prostate epithelium. TMPRSS2 is expressed highly in localized high-grade prostate cancers and in the majority of human prostate cancer metastasis. Through the generation of mouse models with a targeted deletion of Tmprss2, we demonstrate that the activity of this protease regulates cancer cell invasion and metastasis to distant organs. By screening combinatorial peptide libraries we identified a spectrum of TMPRSS2 substrates that include pro-hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). HGF activated by TMPRSS2 promoted c-Met receptor tyrosine kinase signaling, and initiated a pro-invasive EMT phenotype. Chemical library screens identified a potent bioavailable TMPRSS2 inhibitor that suppressed prostate cancer metastasis in vivo. Together, these findings provide a mechanistic link between androgen-regulated signaling programs and prostate cancer metastasis that operate via context-dependent interactions with extracellular constituents of the tumor microenvironment. Custom mouse cDNA microarrays were used to measure transcript levels in microdissected anterior prostate tumors from Tmprss2+/+;TRAMP mice, Tmprss2-/-;TRAMP mice or strain-matched benign epithelium. All samples were laser-capture microdissected and total RNA isolated and amplified prior to hybridization against a reference pool of normal adult mouse tissues.
