    Abstract: Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) of the kidney is a rare type of renal cell carcinoma that frequently exhibits histologic and immunophenotypic features overlapping with type 1 papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC). To clarify molecular attributes that can be used for this difficult differential diagnosis, we sought to delineate the genome-wide copy number alterations in tumors displaying classic histologic features of MTSCC in comparison to the solid variant of type 1 PRCC and indeterminate cases with overlapping histologic features. The study included 11 histologically typical MTSCC, 9 tumors with overlapping features between MTSCC and PRCC, and 6 cases of solid variant of type 1 PRCC. DNA samples extracted from macrodissected or microdissected tumor areas were analyzed for genome-wide copy number alterations using an SNP-array platform suitable for clinical archival material. All cases in the MTSCC group exhibited multiple chromosomal losses, most frequently involving chromosomes 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, and 22, while lacking trisomy 7 or 17. In contrast, cases with overlapping morphologic features of MTSCC and PRCC predominantly showed multiple chromosomal gains, most frequently involving chromosomes 7, 16, 17, and 20, similar to the chromosomal alteration pattern that was seen in the solid variant of type 1 PRCC cases. Morphologic comparison of these molecularly characterized tumors identified histologic features that help to distinguish MTSCC from PRCC, but immunohistochemical profiles of these tumors remained overlapping, including a marker for Hippo-Yes-associated protein signaling. Characteristic patterns of genome-wide copy number alterations strongly support MTSCC and PRCC as distinct entities despite their immunohistochemical and certain morphologic overlap, and help define histologic features useful for the classification of questionable cases.

    Abstract: Untreated prostate cancers rely on androgen receptor (AR) signaling for growth and survival, forming the basis for the initial efficacy of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Yet the disease can relapse and progress to a lethal stage termed castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Reactivation of AR signaling represents the most common driver of CRPC growth, and next-generation AR signaling inhibitors (ARSIs) are now used in combination with ADT as a first-line therapy. However, ARSIs can result in selective pressure, thereby generating AR-independent tumors. The transition from AR dependence frequently accompanies a change in phenotype resembling developmental transdifferentiation or “lineage plasticity.” Neuroendocrine prostate cancer, which lacks a defined pathologic classification, is the most studied type of lineage plasticity. However, most AR-null tumors do not exhibit neuroendocrine features and are classified as “double-negative prostate cancer,” the drivers of which are poorly defined. RATIONALE Lineage plasticity studies in CRPC are limited by the lack of genetically defined patient-derived models that recapitulate the disease spectrum. To address this, we developed a biobank of organoids generated from patient biopsies to study the landscape of metastatic CRPC and allow for functional validation assays. Proteins called transcription factors (TFs) are drivers of tumor lineage plasticity. To identify the key TFs that drive the growth of AR-independent tumors, we integrated epigenetic and transcriptomic data generated from CRPC models. RESULTS We generated ATAC-seq (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing) and RNA-seq data from 22 metastatic human prostate cancer organoids, six patient-derived xenografts (PDXs), and 12 derived or traditional cell lines. We classified the 40 models into four subtypes and predicted key TFs of each subtype. We identified the well-characterized AR-dependent (CRPC-AR) and neuroendocrine subtypes (CRPC-NE) as well as two AR-negative/low groups, including a Wnt-dependent subtype (CRPC-WNT), driven by TCF/LEF TFs, and a stem cell–like (SCL) subtype (CRPC-SCL), driven by the AP-1 family of TFs. We applied RNA-seq signatures derived from the organoids to 366 patient samples from two independent CRPC datasets, which recapitulated the four-subtype classification. We found that CRPC-SCL is the second most prevalent group and is associated with shorter time under ARSI treatment compared to CRPC-AR. Additional chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis indicated that AP-1 works together with the proteins YAP, TAZ, and TEAD, revealing YAP/TAZ and AP-1 as potential actionable targets in CRPC-SCL. Using overexpression assays in AR-high cells, we revealed how AP-1 functions as a pioneering factor and master regulator for CRPC-SCL. CONCLUSION By using a diverse biobank of organoids, PDXs, and cell lines that recapitulate the heterogeneity of metastatic prostate cancer, we created a map of the chromatin accessibility and transcriptomic landscape of CRPC. We validated the CRPC-AR and CRPC-NE subtypes and report two subtypes of AR-negative/low samples as well as their respective key TFs. Additional analysis revealed a model in which YAP, TAZ, TEAD, and AP-1 function together and drive oncogenic growth in CRPC-SCL samples. Overall, our results show how stratification of CRPC patients into four subtypes using their transcriptomes can potentially inform appropriate clinical decisions. Identification of four subtypes of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) by integration of chromatin accessibility and transcriptomic data from organoids, patient-derived xenografts (PDXs), and cell lines. TF, transcription factor; AR, androgen receptor; NE, neuroendocrine; SCL, stem cell–like. YAP/TAZ/TEAD/AP-1 cooperation in CRPC-SCL suggests actionable targets. Application of RNA-seq signatures derived from the models to 366 patient samples recapitulates the four-subtype classification.

    Abstract: Molecular characterization of adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC) by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) has highlighted a high prevalence of TERT alterations, which are associated with disease progression. Herein, 78 ACC were profiled using a combination of next generation sequencing ( n  = 76) and FISH ( n  = 9) to assess for TERT alterations. This data was combined with TCGA dataset ( n  = 91). A subset of borderline adrenocortical tumors ( n  = 5) and adrenocortical adenomas ( n  = 7) were also evaluated. The most common alteration involving the TERT gene involved gains/amplifications, seen in 22.2% (37/167) of cases. In contrast, “hotspot” promoter mutations (C  〉  T promoter mutation at position -124, 7/167 cases, 4.2%) and promoter rearrangements (2/165, 1.2%) were rare. Recurrent co-alterations included 22q copy number losses seen in 24% (9/38) of cases. Although no significant differences were identified in cases with and without TERT alterations pertaining to age at presentation, tumor size, weight, laterality, mitotic index and Ki67 labeling, cases with TERT alterations showed worse outcomes. Metastatic behavior was seen in 70% (28/40) of cases with TERT alterations compared to 51.2% (65/127, p  = 0.04) of cases that lacked these alterations. Two (of 5) borderline tumors showed amplifications and no TERT alterations were identified in 7 adenomas. In the borderline group, 0 (of 4) patients with available follow up had adverse outcomes. We found that TERT alterations in ACC predominantly involve gene amplifications, with a smaller subset harboring “hotspot” promoter mutations and rearrangements, and 70% of TERT -altered tumors are associated with metastases. Prospective studies are needed to validate the prognostic impact of these findings.

    Abstract: Prostate cancer exhibits a remarkable lineage-specific dependence on androgen signaling. Lineage-directed therapy using androgen deprivation has been the mainstay of prostate cancer treatment for 70 years. Castration resistance involves reactivation of androgen signaling or activation of alternative lineage programs to bypass androgen requirement. Our studies found that an aberrant gastrointestinal lineage transcriptome is expressed in ~5% of primary prostate cancer that is characterized by abbreviated response to androgen deprivation therapy and in ~30% of castration-resistant prostate cancer. This program is governed by a transcriptional circuit consisting of HNF4G and HNF1A. Cistrome and chromatin analyses revealed that HNF4G is a pioneer factor that generates and maintains enhancer landscape at gastrointestinal lineage genes, independent of AR signaling. In HNF4G/1A-negative prostate cancer, exogenous expression of HNF4G at physiologic levels recapitulates the GI transcriptome, chromatin landscape and leads to relative castration resistance.

    Abstract: Patients with microsatellite instability–high/mismatch repair-deficient (MSI-H/dMMR) and high tumor mutational burden (TMB-H) prostate cancers are candidates for pembrolizumab. We define the genomic features, clinical course, and response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in patients with MSI-H/dMMR and TMB-H prostate cancers without MSI [TMB-H/microsatellite stable (MSS)]. Experimental Design: We sequenced 3,244 tumors from 2,257 patients with prostate cancer. MSI-H/dMMR prostate cancer was defined as an MSIsensor score ≥10 or MSIsensor score ≥3 and & lt;10 with a deleterious MMR alteration. TMB-H was defined as ≥10 mutations/megabase. PSA50 and RECIST responses were assigned. Overall survival and radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) were compared using log-rank test. Results: Sixty-three (2.8%) men had MSI-H/dMMR, and 33 (1.5%) had TMB-H/MSS prostate cancers. Patients with MSI-H/dMMR and TMB-H/MSS tumors more commonly presented with grade group 5 and metastatic disease at diagnosis. MSI-H/dMMR tumors had higher TMB, indel, and neoantigen burden compared with TMB-H/MSS. Twenty-seven patients with MSI-H/dMMR and 8 patients with TMB-H/MSS tumors received ICB, none of whom harbored polymerase epsilon (polE) catalytic subunit mutations. About 45% of patients with MSI-H/dMMR had a RECIST response, and 65% had a PSA50 response. No patient with TMB-H/MSS had a RECIST response, and 50% had a PSA50 response. rPFS tended to be longer in patients with MSI-H/dMMR than in patients with TMB-H/MSS who received immunotherapy. Pronounced differences in genomics, TMB, or MSIsensor score were not detected between MSI-H/dMMR responders and nonresponders. Conclusions: MSI-H/dMMR prostate cancers have greater TMB, indel, and neoantigen burden than TMB-H/MSS prostate cancers, and these differences may contribute to profound and durable responses to ICB.

    Abstract: In this study, we employed a novel integrative genomic-based approach to explore driving gene fusions contributing to the progression of advanced prostate cancer. This method, called amplification breakpoint ranking and assembly (ABRA), leverages the in vivo amplification and breakpoint analysis in cancer cells to assemble novel gene fusions and predict their tumorigenicity. Using ABRA, we nominated KRAS as a gene fusion with the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBE2L3 in the DU145 cell line- which was originally derived from a metastatic prostate cancer to the brain. Interestingly, analysis of tissues revealed that 2 out of 62 metastatic prostate cancers harbored aberrations at the KRAS locus. In DU145 cells, UBE2L3-KRAS produces a chimerical protein which is readily ubiquitinated and relative instable, whereas specific knock-down of the fusion attenuates cell invasion and xenograft growth. Further, ectopic expression of the UBE2L3-KRAS fusion protein in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and RWPE prostate epithelial cells exhibits substantial transforming activity in vitro and in vivo. In NIH 3T3 cells, UBE2L3-KRAS attenuates the MEK/ERK pathway, which is commonly engaged by oncogenic mutant KRAS. Instead, it enriches Ras proteins in late endosome, and diverts signaling to the AKT and p38 MAPK pathways. While a number of oncogenic activating point mutations of KRAS have been identified, this is the first description of a mutant chimeric version of KRAS that is oncogenic and thus may represent a new class of cancer-related alteration. This study also suggests that this aberration may drive metastatic progression in a subset of prostate cancers, which may be targeted by anti-KRAS therapies.

    Abstract: Background: The TCGA and SU2C/PCF projects have allowed for the identification of molecular alterations in primary and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), respectively, through whole exome sequencing of highly curated tissue samples. To explore the frequency of these alteration at clinical scale, we have used a next-generation sequencing assay called MSK-IMPACT that is targeted to 410 cancer-associated genes to profile the tumors and germline of patients (pts) with prostate cancer across the disease spectrum. Methods: Prostate cancer pts enrolled on an IRB-approved protocol for tumor genomic profiling, with optional consent for germline DNA analysis. Fresh or archived fixed tumors and matched germline samples underwent targeted DNA sequencing and analysis of somatic mutations and copy number alterations (CNAs) using MSK-IMPACT. Germline analysis was performed according to ACMG guidelines for patients who consented. Results: We successfully sequenced 300 tumors from 259 pts, including 171 primary and 129 metastatic samples, evaluated at MSKCC between 2/2014 and 8/2015. We identified actionable somatic alterations in & gt;60% of pts, including in the PI3K/AKT pathway (25% of pts), the MAP kinase pathway (5% of pts) and the Wnt pathway (15% of pts). We found that 26% of pts harbor a tumor somatic alteration in a gene involved in DNA damage repair (DDR). Of the 140 pts who consented to germline DNA analysis, germline pathogenic mutations were identified in BRCA2 (9% of pts), CHEK2 (5% of pts), ATM (2.1% of pts), and in BRCA1, PALB2 or PMS2 ( & lt;1% of pts). Additional germline alterations were identified in BRIP1, NBN, JAK2, and FH totaling a 21% rate of germline pathogenic mutations. Overall, for patients who underwent germline and tumor somatic analysis, a 26% alteration frequency was identified in BRCA1/2, ATM or CHEK2 either in the germline or somatically. Furthermore, TP53 and BRCA somatic alterations found in men with metastatic disease were also detected in previously sampled matched primary tumors, suggesting that these alterations occur as early events in tumorigenesis. Conclusions: In addition to confirming that actionable genomic alterations are common in men with advanced prostate cancer, two additional findings emerge that could influence clinical decision making in patients at the time of diagnosis with primary disease. First, we report a high frequency of germline pathogenic mutations, including in the DDR genes BRCA2/1, CHEK2 and ATM, that could impact treatment decisions (e.g., with PARP inhibitors) and screening of family members. Second, the fact that somatic TP53 and BRCA alterations are present in matched primary samples of patients who subsequently develop metastatic diseases suggests that early detection of these alterations may be prognostic.

    Abstract: Lineage plasticity is a well-established mechanism of resistance to targeted therapies in lung and prostate cancer, where tumors transition from adenocarcinoma to small-cell or neuroendocrine carcinoma. Single-cell analysis of a cohort of late stage castration-resistant human prostate cancers (CRPC) revealed a greater degree of plasticity than previously appreciated, with multiple distinct neuroendocrine (NEPC), mesenchymal (EMT-like), and other subpopulations detected within single biopsies. To explore the steps responsible for initiation of this process, we utilized two genetically engineered mouse models of prostate cancer that recapitulate progression from adenocarcinoma to neuroendocrine disease. Time course studies reveal expansion of stem-like luminal epithelial cells (Sca1+, Psca+, called L2) that, based on trajectories, gave rise to at least 4 distinct subpopulations, NEPC (Ascl1+), POU2F3 (Pou2f3+), TFF3 (Tff3+) and EMT-like (Vim+, Ncam1+). Such populations are also seen in human prostate and small cell lung cancers. Furthermore, transformed L2-like cells express stem-like and gastrointestinal endoderm-like transcriptional programs, indicative of reemerging developmental plasticity programs, as well as elevated Jak/Stat, interferon, and FGF pathways. Strikingly pharmacologic inhibition of Jak/Stat and FGFR results in reversal of plasticity states and subsequent sensitivity to androgen receptor inhibitors (ARSIs). In sum, while the magnitude of multilineage heterogeneity, both within and across patients, raises considerable treatment challenges, the identification of highly plastic luminal cells as the likely source of this heterogeneity provides a target for more focused therapeutic intervention.
