ARTICLE ABSTRACT

To determine whether metastatic castration–resistant prostate cancers (mCRPC) partition into molecular phenotypes corresponding to intrinsic differentiation states and ascertain whether these subtypes exhibit specific druggable features and associate with treatment outcomes. We used RNAseq, digital spatial profiling, and histological assessments from metastatic biopsies and patient-derived xenografts to segregate mCRPCs into subtypes defined by the PAM50 breast cancer classification algorithm. Subtype associations with treatment responses in preclinical models and patients were determined. Using the PAM50 algorithm, we partitioned 270 mCRPC tumors into LumA (42%), LumB (24%), and Basal (34%) subtypes with classification largely driven by proliferation rates and androgen receptor (AR) activity. Most neuroendocrine tumors classified as Basal. Pathways enriched in the LumA subtype include TGFß and NOTCH signaling. LumB subtype tumors were notable for elevated MYC activity. Basal subtype tumors exhibited elevated IL6-STAT3 signaling and features of adult stem cell states. In patients where multiple tumors were evaluated, the majority had concordant PAM50 subtype determination, though a subset exhibited marked inter- and intratumor heterogeneity, including divergent classifications between primary and metastatic sites. In preclinical models, LumA subtype tumors were highly responsive to androgen deprivation and docetaxel chemotherapy whereas Basal tumors were largely resistant. In clinical cohorts patients with Basal subtype tumors demonstrated a shorter time on treatment with AR signaling inhibitors and docetaxel relative to patients with luminal subtypes. Subtyping of mCRPC based on cell differentiation states has potential clinical utility for identifying patients with divergent expression of treatment targets and responses to systemic therapy.
