    Abstract Androgen and androgen deprivation (castration) therapies, including androgen receptor antagonists, are clinically used to treat patients with prostate cancer. However, most hormone-dependent prostate cancer patients progress into a malignant state with loss of hormone-dependency, known as castration (drug)-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), after prolong androgen-based treatments. Even in the CRPC state with irreversible malignancy, androgen receptor (AR) expression is detectable. An epigenetic transition to CRPC induced by the action of AR-mediated androgen could be speculated in the patients with prostate cancer. Androgen receptors belongs to the nuclear receptor superfamily with 48 members in humans, and acts as a ligand-dependent transcriptional factor, leading to local chromatin reorganization for ligand-dependent gene regulation. In this review, we discussed the transcriptional/epigenetic regulatory functions of AR, with emphasis on the clinical applications of AR ligands, AR protein co-regulators, and AR RNA coregulator (enhancer RNA), especially in chromatin reorganization, in patients with prostate cancer.

    Abstract The clinical use of androgen receptor (AR) antagonists has been successful in treating prostate cancer patients, inducing remission of androgen-dependent tumors. However, a couple of years after treatment, prostate tumors transition into an androgen-independent state with altered gene expression profiles, but the molecular basis is not understood. Since the AR antagonists trigger this transition, we assessed whether AR antagonists induce chromatin reorganization in an androgen-dependent prostate cancer cell line (LNCaP). Treatment of LNCaP cells with two clinically used AR antagonists (bicalutamide [Bic] and enzalutamide [Enz]) expectedly resulted in antagonistic effects on cell proliferation, AR transactivation, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced expression of AR target genes. Thus, the antagonists expectedly acted to antagonize the transactivation function of AR activated by androgen binding. By ChIP-qPCR assay, AR bound to Bic, but not Enz, was recruited to an endogenous consensus AR-binding site within the kallikrein-related peptidase 3 gene promoter after treatment with Bic, similar to the effect of DHT. By ATAC-seq analysis of the cells after long-term treatment for 5 days, Bic and dihydrotestosterone DHT induced different chromatin reorganization patterns and gene expression profiles, suggesting that Bic exhibited a distinct action from that by DHT. Thus, these results suggest that the action of a known AR antagonist is mediated by chromatin reorganization in a prostate cancer cell line.

    Abstract Introduction: Primary benign adenomas of the appendix occur rarely. According to appendectomy and autopsy reports, benign adenomas of the appendix are sporadically reported, accounting for ~0.02-0.08% cases.
    Presentation of case: We report the case of a 58-year-old woman with a segmental polyp protruding into the appendiceal orifice. The polyp was spotted during lower gastrointestinal endoscopy; however, treatment was postponed at the patient's request. During a confirmatory lower gastrointestinal endoscopy for treatment, the polyp was no longer found protruding from the appendiceal orifice and had disappeared. An appendicectomy was performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Pathological examination showed a low-degree atypical tubular adenoma with no malignant findings.
    Discussion: Despite the risk of perforation, surgical resection remains the gold standard for treating appendiceal adenoma. Resection can be performed endoscopically if the stem and base of the adenoma can be identified. In the present case, laparoscopy was a good indication from the safety standpoint, and it was radically curative. Furthermore, upon performing an appendectomy, the patient was informed of the risks of cancer-related complications or the need for additional resection.
    Conclusion: This suggestive case proves that appendiceal tumors can disappear endoscopically depending on the timing of examination and treatment.

    Abstract The wide variety of sex hormone actions underlie bone growth and health, and their actions mediate gene regulation by the cognate nuclear receptors. Nuclear androgen and estrogen receptors (AR, and ERα/ERβ) are hormone-dependent and DNA binding- transcription regulatory factors, and gene regulation by sex hormones often accompany with chromatin remodeling under aid of a number of co-regulators. As sex hormone biosynthesis is under highly regulated systemic and local regulations, the skeletal actions of sex hormones could be inferred from only the phenotypic abnormalities in skeleton in mouse genetic models deficient of nuclear receptors selectively in specific types of bone cells as well as at specific cell differentiation stages. Anabolic androgen actions and anti-bone resorptive estrogen actions are discussed here from the phenotypic abnormalities in such model mice. Though rapid gene regulation by sex hormones may not require chromatin reorganization, dynamic chromatin reconfiguration looks to facilitate profound and long-term hormonal actions. In this review, we focus the recent findings in gene regulation at a chromatin level, particularly of the function of enhancer RNAs transcribed from strong enhancers, and in the role of liquid-liquid phase separation state in transcription initiation through chromatin reconfiguration.

    Abstract The clinical use of androgen receptor (AR) antagonists has been successful in treating prostate cancer patients, inducing remission of androgen-dependent tumors.

    Abstract Vitamin D (VD) exerts a wide variety of biological functions including calcemic activity. VD nutritional status is closely associated with the onset and development of chronic diseases. To develop a VD analog with the desired VD activity but without calcemic activity, we screened synthetic VDR antagonists. We identified 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-26-23-lactams (DLAM)-2a-d (DLAM-2s) as nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR) ligands in a competitive VDR binding assay for 1α,25(OH)2 vitamin D3 (1α,25(OH)2D3), and DLAM-2s showed an antagonistic effect on 1α,25(OH)2 D3-induced cell differentiation in HL60 cells. In a luciferase reporter assay in which human VDR was exogenously expressed in cultured COS-1 cells, DLAM-2s acted as transcriptional antagonists. Consistently, DLAM-2s had an antagonistic effect on the 1α,25(OH)2D3-induced expression of a known VD target gene [Cytochrome P450 24A1 (CYP24A1)], and VDR bound DLAM-2s was recruited to an endogenous VD response element in chromatin in human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) endogenously expressing VDR. In an ATAC-seq assay, the effects of 1α,25(OH)2 D3 and DLAM-2b on chromatin reorganization were undetectable in HaCaT cells, while the effect of an androgen receptor (AR) antagonist (bicalutamide) was confirmed in prostate cancer cells (LNCaP) expressing endogenous AR. However, whole genome analysis using RNA-seq and ATAC (Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin)-seq revealed differential gene expression profiles regulated by DLAM-2b versus 1α,25(OH)2D3. The upregulated and downregulated genes only partially overlapped between cells treated with 1α,25(OH)2D3 and those treated with DLAM-2b. Thus, the present findings illustrate a novel VDR ligand with gene regulatory activity differing from that of 1α,25(OH)2D3.

    Abstract Vitamin D (VD) exerts a wide variety of biological actions in addition to its well-known roles in calcium homeostasis. Nutritional VD deficiency induces rachitic abnormalities in growing children and osteomalacia in adults, and it has been proposed to underlie the onset and development of multiple non-communicable chronic diseases. Therefore, the administration of VD or synthetic VD analogues represents a promising therapeutic strategy; indeed, VD and a VD agonist have shown clinical promise in mitigating osteoporosis and symptoms of insufficient calcium intake. However, even though high doses of VD analogues have shown pre-clinical efficacy against several diseases, including cancers, they have not yet had wide-spread clinical success. This difference may be due to limitation of clinical doses in light of the inherent calcemic action of VD. An approach to overcome this problem involves the development of VD analogues with lower calcemic activity, which could be administered in high doses to attenuate the onset and progress of disease. In a similar strategy, selective estrogen receptor modulators have had success as anti-osteoporosis drugs, and they have shown benefit for other estrogen target organs by serving as partial antagonists or agonists of estrogen receptor α. It is thus conceivable to generate synthetic partial antagonists or agonists for the VD receptor (VDR) that would exert beneficial effects on bone and other VD target organs. In this review, we discuss the molecular basis of the development of such synthetic VDR ligands from the viewpoint of roles of VDR in gene regulation.
