Herein, we reveal that the castration tolerance of LSC (Lin, Sca-1, CD49f) progenitor cells, the mouse equivalent of human prostatic Club cells, arises not from intrinsic properties, but from significant transcriptional reprogramming. Utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing of LSC cells isolated from prostate-specific Pten-deficient (Pten) mice, we identify the emergence of castration-resistant LSC cells enriched in stem-like features, driven by the transcription factor FOSL1/AP-1. We demonstrate that cells exhibiting Pten LSC characteristics are prevalent in aggressive double-negative prostate cancer (DNPC) subtypes recently identified in human castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Furthermore, our findings show that the dual-targeting agents JQ-1 and CX-6258-focused on FOSL1/AP-1 and PIM kinases, respectively-effectively suppress both the progenitor properties and the growth of mouse and human DNPC surrogates in vitro and in vivo. Thus, early eradication of castration-tolerant Club-like cells presents a promising therapeutic strategy to mitigate prostate cancer progression toward CRPC.
