Abstract:

The prostate cancer (PCa) risk-associated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs11672691 is positively associated with aggressive disease at diagnosis. Here, we replicated the finding in a cohort of 127 intermediate risk PCa patients, showing that the risk variant is associated with increased risk of relapse after therapy. rs11672691 is located in the promoter region of a short isoform of long noncoding RNA PCAT19 (PCAT19-short), which is in the third intron of the long isoform (PCAT19-long). We find that the risk variant is associated with decreased levels of PCAT19-short, but increased levels of PCAT19-long. Mechanistically, risk variants of rs11672691 and its linkage disequilibrium SNP rs887391 decrease binding of NKX3.1 and YY1 to the promoter of PCAT19-short, converting this region to an enhancer that loops to the PCAT19-long promoter. PCAT19-long interacts with HNRNPAB to activate a subset of cell cycle genes that are associated with PCa progression, thereby promoting cell proliferation, migration, tumor growth and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, these findings reveal a novel risk SNP mediated promoter-enhancer switching mechanism underlying both initiation and progression of aggressive PCa.
