BRG1 knockdown inhibits proliferation through multiple cellular pathways in prostate cancer
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Deregulation of the chromatin remodeller BRG1 contributes to a wide range of malignancies. In prostate cancer BRG1 is over expressed, however, the underlying function and cellular consequences of this are still being uncovered. Here, we have investigated the role of BRG1 in transcription regulation in prostate cancer. We found that BRG1 is over expressed in both the TCGA prostate cancer cohort as well as a panel of prostate cancer and transformed prostate cell lines. We then utilised a temporal model of BRG1 depletion followed by mRNA-seq to examine changes in gene expression. Surprisingly, we detected a modest overall effect, however, a number of genes associated with proliferation and cell cycle progression were down regulated. We find these genes were in part, co-regulated by AR and FOXA1. Corresponding cell cycle analysis conferred G1 arrest, and altered nuclei morphology with depletion of BRG1. This data provides mechanistic insight into the function of BRG1 in prostate cancer.
