Recapitulation of Prostate Tissue Cell Type-specific Transcriptomes by an in vivo Primary Prostate Tissue Xenograft Model
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Purpose: Validate the cell type specific (Epithelial, Endothelial, and Stromal) transcriptome profile between prostate primary tissue xenografts and of fresh prostate tissue. Nude-Fox1nu mice were castrated and silastic tubing containing dry testosterone (T) was inserted providing “humanized” levels of circulating T. 5-8 pieces of fresh human prostate tissue was then inserted subcutaneously along the flank of the animal. After 30 days the animal was euthanized and tissue was harvested. Tissue from xenograft and from fresh human prostate was then enriched into endothelial, epithelial and the remaining stromal compartments using magnetic bead enrichment. RNA-Seq was then preformed on cell types from both origins and the results compared to show the primary tissue xenograft model faithfully recapitulates transcriptomic profile of the human prostate for epithelial, endothelial and stromal cell types.
