BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The annual ~36,000 prostate cancer (PCa) deaths represent a large clinical unmet need and a call for deeper understanding of PCa metastasis. Epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT) has been used to model metastatic behaviors in numerous cancers including PCa. One hallmark of EMT is cell cycle suppression, but how EMT impacts PCa proliferation remains unclear primarily due to the lack of appropriate models.
METHODS: We transiently induced Snail1 (SNAI1) expression, an EMT driver expressed in PCa, at physiological levels in three PCa cells lines, C4-2B, 22Rv1, and DU145. We used RNA-seq, ChIP-Seq, bioinformatics, qRT-PCR, shRNA, and immunoblotting to identify mechanisms of Snail1-driven inhibition of proliferation.
RESULTS: Snail1 suppressed proliferation and G2/M cell cycle progression, without affecting cell death. Mechanistically, Snail1 upregulated expression of CEBPγ, ERG1, FOXO1, cyclin G1, p21, stress genes SESN3 and SOD3, apoptotic programmers Puma, Bax, and Noxa, and senescence-related laminB1, and downregulated Ki67, cyclins A2 and B2. ChIP-Seq data identified Snail1 direct binding to p21, cyclin B2 and G1, EGR1, and CEPBγ promoters. EGR1 induced FOXO1, and EGR1 was required for Snail1-induced SOD3 and Puma, and suppression of Caspase 3 to prevent apoptosis. The EGR1/FOXO1 axis induced BAX, Noxa, and SESN3. CEBPγ was required for Snail1 induction of Lamin B1 to block Snail1-induced senescence.
CONCLUSIONS: We identified three new major downstream targets of Snail1 that improve our understanding of the role of EMT in limiting stress signaling, apoptosis, and senescence during cell cycle suppression to create a vulnerability for therapeutic targeting.
