This study reveals that antiandrogen therapy induces viral mimicry responses that are crucial for antitumor activity. H3K9 trimethylation to silence endogenous repeat elements is essential for regaining heterochromatin stability and progression to antiandrogen resistance in prostate cancer. We found that the H3K9 trimethylation machinery is linked to poor outcomes in men with prostate cancer. Blockade of this epigenetic axis can resensitize drug-resistant tumors and elicit cytotoxic interferon responses. Antiandrogen timing and regulation of the H3K9 methylation–endogenous repeat elements– interferon axis should be considered in the development of novel epigenetic therapies and immunotherapeutic strategies for prostate cancer. Antiandrogen strategies remain the prostate cancer treatment backbone, but drug resistance develops. We show that androgen blockade in prostate cancer leads to derepression of retroelements (REs) followed by a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-stimulated interferon response that blocks tumor growth. A forward genetic approach identified H3K9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) as an essential epigenetic adaptation to antiandrogens, which enabled transcriptional silencing of REs that otherwise stimulate interferon signaling and glucocorticoid receptor expression. Elevated expression of terminal H3K9me3 writers was associated with poor patient hormonal therapy outcomes. Forced expression of H3K9me3 writers conferred resistance, whereas inhibiting H3K9-trimethylation writers and readers restored RE expression, blocking antiandrogen resistance. Our work reveals a drug resistance axis that integrates multiple cellular signaling elements and identifies potential pharmacologic vulnerabilities.
