Androgen receptor (AR) antagonism triggers acute succinate‐mediated adaptive responses to reactivate AR signaling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Treatment-induced adaptive pathways converge to support androgen receptor (AR) reactivation and emergence of castration-resistant prostate cancer (PCa) after AR pathway inhibition (ARPI). We set out to explore poorly defined acute adaptive responses that orchestrate shifts in energy metabolism after ARPI and identified rapid changes in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), a TCA cycle enzyme with well-known tumor suppressor activity. We show that AR directly regulates transcription of its catalytic subunits (SDHA, SDHB) via androgen response elements (AREs). ARPI acutely suppresses SDH activity, leading to accumulation of the oncometabolite, succinate. Succinate triggers calcium ions release from intracellular stores, which in turn phospho-activates the AR-cochaperone, Hsp27 via p-CaMKK2/p-AMPK/p-p38 axis to enhance AR protein stabilization and activity. Activation of this pathway was seen in tissue microarray analysis on prostatectomy tissues and patient-derived xenografts. This adaptive response is blocked by co-targeting AR with Hsp27 under both in vitro and in vivo studies, sensitizing PCa cells to ARPI treatments.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
