Androgen receptor (AR) is a major transcription factor that plays a role in inflammatory response including interleukin-6 (IL6) signaling. 1 While AR regulation through paracrine loop signaling in prostate tissue is well-studied, its impact through an IL6 autocrine loop in the lung has not been well-studied despite the organ's response to respiratory viral infection. Chemical inhibition and RNA knockdown of AR identified a bZIP transcription factor MAF to be a common target of inflammation using these perturbations in lung cells. We hypothesized through a predictive in silico network modeling that MAF is a common mediator between androgen signaling and inflammatory response in lung cells exposed to AR antagonists and viral (SARS-Cov-2) infection.To establish a context for AR inhibition in the lung, a public database of 427 normal human lung samples revealed AR expression with levels not significantly varying by gender or age (Fig. S1A). This suggested that AR is expressed in normal lungs and is not unique to prostate tissue. A subset of six lung cell lines characterized with AR antagonist enzalutamide for their EC 50 (Table S1) was treated for 0.5, 2, 4, 8, or 24 h in the presence of AR agonist R1881 (testosterone), which revealed AR expression in A549 cells to be negatively feed-back regulated (Fig. 1 A) while H226, H460, H2228, and H3122 cells were minimally responsive up to 24 h, with the exception being H520, a typical squamous lung cell line (Fig. S1B). We chose to further characterize AR early (2 h) and late (24 h) expression in A549 and H2228 cells. While enzalutamide actively displaced the agonist R1881 and vice versa and induced AR down-regulation as early as 2 h up to 24 h, enzalutamide treatment in the absence of R1881 was similar to control treatment in A549 cells, suggesting a reversible on-off antagonist-agonist interaction up to 24 h. However, in H2228 cells, similar treatments induced a slight increase in AR expression (Fig. 1 B). Unlike prostate cells which are negatively regulated by R1881, only bronchioalveolar cells (A549), a cell-type progenitor for inflammation and carcinoma, showed sustained AR signaling in controlled charcoal fetal bovine serum stripped of hormone treatments. Next, we established that AR was functional in the lung through dynamic nuclear-cytoplasmic imaging and quantitation. While AR (red) was efficiently transported to the nucleus in both A549 and H2228 cells with ligand R1881 (Fig. 1 C; Fig. S2A), an effect that was disrupted using either AR-specific siRNAs (Fig. S3 and Table S2) or enzalutamide and quantified (Fig. 1 D; Fig. S2B), demonstrating that siRNA knockdown of AR phenocopies the effect of enzalutamide.
