Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of BPH and androgen-dependent and recurrent human prostate cancer and CWR22 human tumors propagated in nude mice were antigen-retrieved by heating at 100°C for 30 min in a vegetable steamer using CITRA or AR 10 buffer (BioGenex Laboratories, San Ramon, CA) and cooled for 10 min. Slides were preincubated with 2% normal horse serum for 5 min at 37°C and washed with automation buffer (Fisher Scientific International, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA). Slides were incubated with antihuman monoclonal antibodies for TIF2, SRC1, and amplified in breast cancer-1 (Transduction Laboratories, Lexington, KY) or AR (BioGenex Laboratories) at 1:300 dilutions followed by incubation with antimouse peroxidase-linked secondary antibody at 1:200 dilution. Immunoperoxidase reaction products were detected using diaminobenzidine.
Immunoblot Analysis.
Frozen patient samples and CWR22 tumors (50100 µg) were pulverized in liquid nitrogen, thawed on ice, and mixed with 1 ml of radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer containing protease inhibitors [0.15 M NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 5 mM EDTA, 50 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 0.5 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 10 µM pepstatin, 4 µM aprotinin, 80 mg/ml leupeptin, 0.2 mM sodium vanadate, and 5 mM benzamidine] and 1 µM DHT. Tissue was homogenized for 30 s on ice, incubated for 30 min on ice, and centrifuged at 10,000 x g for 20 min twice. Supernatant proteins (50 µg) were electrophoresed on 12% acrylamide gels containing SDS and electroblotted to Immobilon-P membranes (Millipore Corp., Bedford, MA). Immunoblot analysis was performed (3)
using the antibodies described above and mouse monoclonal anti-progesterone receptor (Affinity Bioreagents, Golden, CO) and rabbit polyclonal anti-estrogen receptor
(Affinity Bioreagents).
Transcription Assays.
AR transcriptional assays were performed in the presence or absence of TIF2 overexpression by measuring luciferase activity in CV1 cells cotransfected with pCMVhAR (100 ng), wild-type or mutant pCMVhAR507919 (50 ng), pSG5TIF2 (3 µg), and mouse mammary tumor virus-luciferase reporter vector (5 µg) using calcium phosphate precipitation (15)
. The absence of the metabolism of androstenedione to testosterone was verified by high-pressure liquid chromatography of CV1 cell extracts.
GST Adsorption Studies.
GST adsorption incubations were performed (16)
using in vitro-translated 35S-labeled AR ligand binding domain (amino acid residues 624919) and bacterial-expressed GST fusion proteins GST-AR1-333 and GST-TIF2 fusion protein containing TIF2 amino acid residues 11431464 designated GST-TIF2-M in the presence of 0.2 µM steroids. Equivalent amounts of GST-AR1-333 and GST-TIF2 protein (
2 µg based on Coomassie Blue staining) were loaded on the gels. Approximately 4 µg of the GST-0 control protein was loaded to ensure the absence of nonspecific binding. Autoradiographic signal intensities in the absence of steroid were essentially identical to the GST-0 control that lacked the AR or TIF2 sequence, as shown previously (15
, 16)
.

45 years of age. Tissue morphology showed the characteristic glandular structure of BPH, the small, closely spaced glands of early androgen-dependent prostate cancer, and the poor differentiation of recurrent prostate cancer (Fig. 1)
or ß in prostate tissue specimens, but estrogen receptor
was detected and no major difference noted between BPH and androgen-dependent or recurrent prostate cancer (data not shown).
|
|
Transient overexpression of TIF2 in cotransfection assays increased AR-mediated transactivation of a mouse mammary tumor virus-luciferase reporter gene in the presence of different steroids (Fig. 3a)
. At concentrations of 10-9
M, androstenedione, estradiol, and progesterone became potent activators of AR in the presence of TIF2. This concentration of androstenedione is within the physiological range of adrenal androgen in the peripheral blood of human males. Transactivation induced by 10-7
M DHEA was also increased by TIF2 expression.
|
The ability of lower-affinity steroids to induce wild-type AR recruitment of TIF2 was confirmed by GST affinity matrix assays. DHEA, estradiol, androstenedione, and progesterone promoted an interaction between 35S-labeled AR ligand binding domain residues 624919 and GST-TIF2 residues 624-1141 that contain the 3 LxxLL motifs of TIF2 (TIF2-M, Fig. 4
, Lanes 2, 5, and 8). However, these lower-affinity steroids were much less effective than DHT in promoting the interaction between the AR ligand binding domain and AR NH2-terminal fragment 1333 (Fig. 4
, Lanes 3, 6, and 9). Thus, in contrast to DHT, which more readily promotes the interaction between the NH2-terminal and carboxyl-terminal regions of AR, the binding of adrenal androgens and other lower-affinity ligands to the AR ligand binding domain favors recruitment of TIF2. The association of overexpressed TIF2 with AR induced by lower affinity ligands provides a mechanism for AR-mediated transactivation in the absence of circulating testosterone that could account for the growth of recurrent prostate cancer in the androgen-deprived patient.
|
The results indicate that a majority of recurrent prostate cancers overexpress TIF2 and SRC1 coincidentally with the onset of recurrent prostate cancer growth. TIF2 overexpression increases the responsiveness of AR activation by adrenal androgens that may circulate at sufficiently high concentrations to recruit highly expressed coactivators. Under normal physiological conditions, AR transactivation is induced specifically by testosterone or DHT, causing AF2 in the AR ligand binding domain to interact with the NH2-terminal LxxLL-like sequence 23FQNLF27 (15 , 16 , 21 , 22) . However, the AF2 hydrophobic surface also forms an overlapping binding site for the LxxLL motifs of the p160 coactivators. Under conditions of lower coactivator expression, AF2 would be occupied by the AR NH2-terminal domain that could have the effect of inhibiting p160 coactivator recruitment by AF2 (15) . Ligand-induced interaction of AR AF2 with the p160 coactivators requires their overexpression, which results in increased AR transactivation in transient transfection assays (16 , 23) . In recurrent prostate cancer growing in the absence of testis androgens, increased coactivator expression could facilitate the induction of AR transactivation by lower-affinity steroids such as the adrenal androgens by shifting the equilibrium toward the formation of AR-TIF2 complexes. Increased AR transactivation induced by lower-affinity ligands seems to result from coactivator-induced AR activity rather than from a change in steroid binding affinity, inasmuch as previous studies indicated that TIF2 overexpression does not alter the dissociation rate of bound androgen.4 High expression of TIF2 and SRC1 in recurrent prostate cancer increases AR transactivation in response to physiological concentrations of adrenal androgens or other steroids with affinity for AR. Coactivation of AR transactivation may be increased further by the phosphorylation of p160 coactivators (24 , 25) , thereby linking AR with growth factor signaling pathways. The results provide a mechanism for AR-mediated tumor growth in recurrent prostate cancer.
