Abstract

Summary Prostate cancer is characterized by its dependence on androgen receptor and frequent activation of PI3K signaling. We find that AR transcriptional output is decreased in human and murine tumors with PTEN deletion and that PI3K pathway inhibition activates AR signaling by relieving feedback inhibition of HER kinases. Similarly, AR inhibition activates AKT signaling by reducing levels of the AKT phosphatase PHLPP. Thus, these two oncogenic pathways cross-regulate each other by reciprocal feedback. Inhibition of one activates the other, thereby maintaining tumor cell survival. However, combined pharmacologic inhibition of PI3K and AR signaling caused near complete prostate cancer regressions in a Pten-deficient murine prostate cancer model and in human prostate cancer xenografts, indicating that both pathways coordinately support survival. Significance The two most frequently activated signaling pathways in prostate cancer are driven by AR and PI3K. Inhibitors of the PI3K pathway are in early clinical trials and AR inhibitors confer clinical responses in most patients. However, these inhibitors rarely induce tumor regression in preclinical models. Here we show that these pathways regulate each other by reciprocal negative feedback, such that inhibition of one activates the other. Therefore, tumor cells can adapt and survive when either single pathway is inhibited pharmacologically. Our demonstration of profound tumor regressions with combined pathway inhibition in preclinical prostate tumor models provides rationale for combination therapy in patients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
