  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Resistance invariably develops to antiandrogen therapies used to treat newly diagnosed prostate cancers, but effective treatments for castration-resistant disease remain elusive. Here, we report that the transcriptional coactivator CBP/p300 is required to maintain the growth of castration-resistant prostate cancer. To exploit this vulnerability, we developed a novel small-molecule inhibitor of the CBP/p300 bromodomain that blocks prostate cancer growth in vitro and in vivo. Molecular dissection of the consequences of drug treatment revealed a critical role for CBP/p300 in histone acetylation required for the transcriptional activity of the androgen receptor and its target gene expression. Our findings offer a preclinical proof of concept for small-molecule therapies to target the CBP/p300 bromodomain as a strategy to treat castration-resistant prostate cancer.
