Targeting castration-resistant prostate cancer with a novel RORγ antagonist elaiophylin

Prostate cancer(PCa)patients who progress to metastatic castration-resistant PCa(mCRPC)mostly have poor outcomes due to the lack of effective therapies.Our recent study established the orphan nuclear receptor RORγ as a novel therapeutic target for CRPC.Here,we reveal that elaiophylin(Elai),an antibiotic from Actinomycete streptomyces,is a novel RORγ antagonist and showed potent antitumor ac-tivity against CRPC in vitro and in vivo.We demonstrated that Elai selectively binded to RORγ protein and potently blocked RORy transcriptional regulation activities.Structure-activity relationship studies showed that Elai occupied the binding pocket with several key interactions.Furthermore,Elai markedly reduced the recruitment of RORy to its genomic DNA response element(RORE),suppressed the expres-sion of RORγ target genes AR and AR variants,and significantly inhibited PCa cell growth.Importantly,Elai strongly suppressed tumor growth in both cell line based and patient-derived PCa xenograft models.Taken together,these results suggest that Elai is novel therapeutic RORy inhibitor that can be used as a drug candidate for the treatment of human CRPC.
