Expression data from conditional Klf5 knockout Pten-null mouse prostates

ABSTRACT: KLF5 is a basic transcription factor that regulates multiple biological processes, but its function in tumorigenesis appears contradictory in the current literature, with some studies showing tumor suppressor activity and others showing tumor promoting activity. In this study, we examined the function of Klf5 in prostatic tumorigenesis using mice with prostate specific deletion of Klf5 and Pten, both of which are frequently deleted in human prostate cancer. Histological and molecular analyses demonstrated that when one Pten allele was deleted, which causes mouse intraepithelial neoplasia (mPIN), Klf5 deletion accelerated the emergence and progression of mPIN. When both Pten alleles were deleted, which causes prostate cancer, Klf5 deletion promoted tumor growth and caused more severe morphological and molecular alterations, and homozygous deletion of Klf5 was more effective than hemizygous deletion. Unexpectedly, while Klf5 deletion clearly promoted tumorigenesis in luminal cells, it actually diminished the numbers of Ck5-positive basal cells in the Pten-null tumors. Klf5 deletion also increased the cell proliferation rate in tumors with Pten deletion, which involved extensive activation of the PI3K/AKT and MAPK mitogenic signaling pathways and inactivation of the p15 cell cycle inhibitor. Global gene expression and pathway analyses demonstrated that multiple mechanisms could be responsible for the tumor promoting effect of Klf5 deletion, We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression of Klf5-wildtype and Klf5-null mouse dorsal prostates under Pten-null context to figure out the differential expression profiling underlying tumorigenesis 4 Klf5-wildtype and 4 Klf5-null mouse (6 months age) dorsal prostates under Pten-null context were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix mouse st 1.0 array

Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) regulates multiple biologic processes. Its function in tumorigenesis appears contradictory though, showing both tumor suppressor and tumor promoting activities. In this study, we examined whether and how Klf5 functions in prostatic tumorigenesis using mice with prostate-specific deletion of Klf5 and phosphatase and tensin homolog (Pten), both of which are frequently inactivated in human prostate cancer. Histologic analysis demonstrated that when one Pten allele was d ...[more]

Project description:TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusions that are frequently identified in prostate cancer can be generated either through chromosomal translocation or via interstitial deletion. The latter mechanism deletes an interstitial region of ~3Mb and it remains largely unanswered whether genes deleted within this region contribute to prostate cancer. By characterizing two knockin mouse models recapitulating TMPRSS2-ERG fusions with or without the interstitial deletion, we found that only those with deletion developed poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, when under a Pten-null background. We identified several interstitial genes, including ETS2 and BACE2, whose reduced expression correlates with worse disease-free survival and lethal disease. By using an Ets2 conditional knockout allele, we demonstrated that loss of one copy of Ets2 was sufficient for prostate cancer progression when under a Pten-null background. Collectively, our data suggest that ETS2 is a prostate tumor suppressor and haploinsufficiency of one or more interstitial genes contributes to prostate cancer progression. Genotyped male mice were euthanized at 12 months of age and prostates isolated. Prostates were fixed overnight in 10% formalin and stored in 70% ethanol until tissue processing and paraffin embedding. Serial sections were cut from paraffin blocks which were stained for H&E and analyzed by a trained rodent histopathologist. Using these sections as a visual guide for specific types of lesions, the sequential sections were stained with hematoxylin and used for laser capture microdissection on ArcturusXT system. Epithelial cells within notable high grade prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (HG-PIN) lesions were microdissected from 3 mice from each corresponding genotype. In addition, poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas from PbCre;T-3Mb-Erg/+;PtenL/L mice were also dissected. RNA was isolated from the microdissected tissue using the Qiagen RNeasy FFPE kit and subjected to Nugen Amplification before microarray analysis on an Affymetrix Mouse Gene 2.0 ST chip.
