Endocrine resistance (EnR) in advanced prostate cancer (APC) is fatal. EnR can be mediated by androgen receptor splice variants (AR-SV), with AR-V7 arguably the most clinically important variant. In this study, we determined proteins key to generating AR-V7, validated our findings using clinical samples, and studied splicing regulatory mechanisms in PC models. Triangulation studies identified JMJD6 as a key regulator of AR-V7, as evidenced by its upregulation with in vitro EnR, its downregulation alongside AR-V7 by bromodomain inhibition, and its identification as a top hit of a targeted siRNA screen of spliceosome-related genes. JMJD6 protein levels increased (p<0.001) with castration resistance and were associated with higher AR-V7 levels and shorter survival (p=0.048). JMJD6 knockdown reduced PC cell growth, AR-V7 levels, and recruitment of U2AF65 to AR pre-mRNA. Mutagenesis studies suggested that JMJD6 activity is key to generation of AR-V7, with the catalytic machinery residing within a druggable pocket. Taken together, these data highlight the relationship between JMJD6 and AR-V7 in APC and support further evaluation of JMJD6 as a therapeutic target in this disease.
