Project description:Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies and the second leading cause of death from cancer in men. The molecular mechanisms driving prostate carcinogenesis are complex; with several lines of evidence suggesting that the re-expression of conserved developmental programs play a key role. Through conditional gene targeting and organ grafting, we describe conserved roles for the transcription factor Sox9 in the initiation of both prostate organogenesis and prostate carcinogenesis in murine models. Abrogation of Sox9 expression prior to the initiation of androgen signaling blocks the initiation of prostate development. Similarly, Sox9 deletion in two genetic models of prostate cancer (TRAMP and Hi-Myc) blocks cancer initiation. Expression profiling of Sox9-null prostate epithelial cells reveals that the role of Sox9 in the initiation of prostate development may relate to its regulation of multiple cytokeratins and/or calcium-related proteins. Due to its essential role in cancer initiation, manipulation of Sox9 targets in at-risk men may prove useful in the chemoprevention of prostate cancer. Sox9 differential gene expression in prostaspheres derived from the urogenital sinus epithelium was assessed by tow-colors direct comparisons of labeled moieties. Hybridizations were performed on the Agilent (Santa Clara, CA) Whole Mouse Genome DNA microarray (mgug4122a). Sox9 targets were assessed in murine prostate epithelial cells with targeted deletion.

Project description:Introduction: In addition to the well-known cartilage extracellular matrix-related expression of Sox9, we demonstrated that chondrogenic differentiation of progenitor cells is driven by a sharply defined bi-phasic expression of Sox9: an immediate early and a late (extracellular matrix associated) phase expression. In this study we aimed to determine what biological processes are driven by Sox9 during this early phase of chondrogenic differentiation. Materials: Sox9 expression in ATDC5 cells was knocked-down by siRNA transfection at the day before chondrogenic differentiation or at day 6 of differentiation. Samples were harvested at 2 hours, and 7 days of differentiation. The transcriptomes (RNA-seq approach) and proteomes (Label-free proteomics approach) were compared using pathway and network analyses. Total protein translational capacity was evaluated with the SuNSET assay, active ribosomes with polysome profiling and ribosome modus with bicistronic reporter assays. Results: Early Sox9 knockdown severely inhibited chondrogenic differentiation weeks later. Sox9 expression during the immediate early phase of ATDC5 chondrogenic differentiation regulated the expression of ribosome biogenesis factors and ribosomal protein subunits. This was accompanied by decreased translational capacity following Sox9 knockdown, and this correlated to lower amounts of active mono- and polysomes. Moreover, cap- versus IRES-mediated translation was altered by Sox9 knockdown. Sox9 overexpression was able to induce reciprocal effects to the Sox9 knockdown. Conclusion: Here we identified an essential new function for Sox9 during early chondrogenic differentiation. A role for Sox9 in regulation of ribosome amount, activity and/or composition may be crucial in preparation for the demanding proliferative phase and subsequent cartilage extracellular matrix-production of chondroprogenitors in the growth plate in vivo.

Project description:Developmental estrogen exposure causes permanent alterations to mouse prostate development. Fetal prostatic mesenchyme cells regulate epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation, and alterations to mesenchymal regulation of prostate epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation may lead to permanent changes in gland structure and function. Our goal was to understand how mesenchymal cells convert estrogen signaling to stimuli that affect epithelial cells. We used microarrays to identify estrogen-induced transcriptomal changes in primary cultures of fetal mouse prostate mesenchymal cells. Experiment Overall Design: Urogenital sinus mesenchymal cells were obtained from CD-1 male mouse fetuses at gestation day 17 and cultured in the presence of 0.1 μM estradiol .

Project description:Urogenital schistosomiasis (caused by Schistosoma haematobium) remains a major public health concern worldwide. In response to parasite egg deposition, the host bladder undergoes gross and molecular morphological changes relevant for disease manifestation. However, limited mechanistic studies to date imply that the molecular mechanisms underlying pathology have not been well-defined. We leveraged a mouse model of urogenital schistosomiasis to perform for the first time, proteome profiling of the early molecular events that occur in the bladder after exposure to S. haematobium eggs, and to elucidate the protein pathways involved in urogenital schistosomiasis-induced pathology. Purified S. haematobium eggs or control vehicle were microinjected into the bladder walls of mice. Mice were sacrificed seven days post-injection and bladder proteins isolated and processed for proteome profiling using mass spectrometry.

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are a valuable resource for discovery of epigenetic changes critical to cell type-specific differentiation. Although iPS cells have been generated from other terminally differentiated cells, the reprogramming of normal adult human basal prostatic epithelial (E-PZ) cells to a pluripotent state has not been reported. Here, we attempted to reprogram E-PZ cells by forced expression of Oct4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4 using lentiviral vectors and obtained embryonic stem cell (ESC)-like colonies at a frequency of 0.01%. These E-PZ-iPS-like cells with normal karyotype gained expression of pluripotent genes typical of iPS cells (Tra-1-81, SSEA-3, Nanog, Sox2, and Oct4) and lost gene expression characteristic of basal prostatic epithelial cells (CK5, CK14, and p63). E-PZ-iPS-like cells demonstrated pluripotency by differentiating into ectodermal, mesodermal, and endodermal cells in vitro, although lack of teratoma formation in vivo and incomplete demethylation of pluripotency genes suggested only partial reprogramming. Importantly, E-PZ-iPS-like cells re-expressed basal epithelial cell markers (CD44, p63, MAO-A) in response to prostate-specific medium in spheroid culture. Androgen induced expression of androgen receptor (AR), and co-culture with rat urogenital sinus further induced expression of prostate-specific antigen, a hallmark of secretory cells, suggesting that E-PZ-iPS-like cells have the capacity to differentiate into prostatic basal and secretory epithelial cells. Finally, when injected into mice, E-PZ-iPS-like cells expressed basal epithelial cell markers including CD44 and p63. When co-injected with rat urogenital mesenchyme, E-PZ-iPS-like cells expressed AR and expression of p63 and CD44 was repressed. DNA methylation profiling identified key pathways and regulators of prostatic differentiation including Wnt5a, BPM7, PTEN, and NKx3.1 using E-PZ-iPS-lke cells. Our results suggest that iPS-like cells can be derived from prostatic epithelial cells. These cells are pluripotent and capable of prostatic differentiation, and therefore provide a novel model for investigating epigenetic changes involved in prostate cell lineage specification.

Project description:Androgens/androgen receptor (AR) mediated signaling pathways are essential for prostate development, morphogenesis, and regeneration. Here, using newly generated ArIRES-Cre mice with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) and other experimental approaches, we profiled the transcriptomes of more than 9000 cells isolated from murine E17.5 UGS tissues and identified a variety of urogenital mesenchyme (UGM) and epithelia (UGE) cell populations. The expression of AR and other regulators were further assessed in different cell types at single cell resolution to determine their roles and interactions during early prostate development. Psuedotime analyses further explored the differentiation trajectory of UGM and UGE cell populations, and identified a Zeb1-expressing progenitor population. Using mouse genetic tools, the decisive role of mesenchymal AR action in prostate initiation was further demonstrated. These data provide fresh, high resolution, comprehensive insight into AR signaling and its roles in initiating dynamic interactions of with distinct signaling pathways between prostatic mesenchymal-epithelial cells.

Project description:Isolation and culture of primary prostate epithelial stem/progenitor cells (PESC) has been proven difficult and ineffective. Here we present methods to grow and expand both murine and human basal PESCs long-term in serum- and feeder-free conditions. The method enriches for adherent mouse basal PESCs with a Lin-Sca1+ CD49f+Trop2high phenotype. Progesterone and sodium selenite are additionally required for the growth of human Lin-CD49f+Trop2high PESCs. The gene expression profiles of expanded basal PESCs show similarities to ES cells and Lamin B1 and PRDX1 were identified as novel PESC markers. If transplanted in combination with urogenital sinus mesenchyme, expanded mouse and human PESCs generate ectopic prostatic tubules demonstrating their stem cell activity in vivo. The novel methods will facilitate the cellular, molecular and genomic characterization of normal and pathologic prostate glands of mouse and human origin.
