Project description:We examined gene expression of LAPC4 cells after knocking down β-TrCP, androgen ablation, or the combined treatments compared to non treated cells. Experiment Overall Design: Using lentiviral vectors, we stably infected LAPC4 cells with specific shRNA targeted for both β-TrCP isoforms (i.e. 1 and 2) or GFP vector as control. To establish androgen ablation we treated the cells with charcoal stripped serum (CSS).

Project description:Differentiated prostate luminal cells acquire enhanced regenerative potential after androgen ablation
| PRJNA625051 | ENA
Project description:Cells in the prostate are postulated to have stem cell properties based on organ regeneration following castration. Through single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-Seq) analysis, we identify a rare luminal cell population in the mouse prostate that expresses stem-like markers (Sca1+, Psca+), as well as a larger population of more differentiated cells (Nkx3.1+, Pbsn+, CD133/Prom1+). Unexpectedly, both populations acquire enhanced organoid regeneration potential following castration and contribute equipotently to prostatic regeneration, as revealed by lineage tracing. Regeneration is mediated, in part, by androgen-driven expression of Nrg2, Igf1, Fgf10 and Rspo3 by distinct populations of mesenchymal cells acting in a paracrine fashion on luminal cells. Human prostate tissue contains similar differentiated and stem-like luminal subpopulations which also, collectively. acquire enhanced regenerative potential after androgen ablation therapy. Thus, nearly all luminal cells that persist post-castration contribute to prostate regeneration, not just rare stem cells.

Project description:Androgen ablation therapy (AAT) is standard treatment for locally-advanced/metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). Many patients develop castration-resistance (CRPCa) after ~2-3 years, with a poor prognosis. The molecular mechanisms underlying CRPCa progression are unclear. mRNA-Seq was performed on tumours from 7 patients with locally-advanced/metastatic PCa before and ~22 weeks after AAT initiation. Differentially regulated genes were identified in treatment pairs. Tumour biopsies from 7 patients were taken before and after AAT treatment

Project description:Although the vital role of the androgen receptor (AR) has been well demonstrated in primary prostate cancers, its role in the androgen-insensitive prostate cancers still remains unclear. Here, we used a small hairpin RNA approach to directly assess AR activity in prostate cancer cells. Reduction of AR expression in the two androgen-sensitive prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP and LAPC4, significantly decreased AR-mediated transcription and cell growth. Intriguingly, in two androgen-insensitive prostate cell lines, LNCaP-C42B4 and CWR22Rv1, knockdown of AR expression showed a more pronounced effect on AR-induced transcription and cell growth than androgen depletion. Using cDNA microarrays, we also compared the transcriptional profiles induced by either androgen depletion or AR knockdown. Although a significant number of transcripts appear to be regulated by both androgen depletion and AR knockdown, we observed a subset of transcripts affected only by androgen depletion but not by AR knockdown, and vice versa. Finally, we demonstrated a direct role for AR in promoting tumor formation and growth in a xenograft model. Taken together, our results elucidate an important role for the AR in androgen-insensitive prostate cancer cells, and suggest that AR can be used as a therapeutic target for androgen-insensitive prostate cancers.

Project description:The androgen receptor (AR) plays a key role in progression to incurable androgen-ablation resistant prostate cancer (PCA). We have identified three novel AR splice variants lacking the ligand binding domain (designated as AR3, AR4 and AR5) in hormone insensitive PCA cells. AR3, one of the major splice variants expressed in human prostate tissues, is constitutively active and its transcriptional activity is not regulated by androgens or antiandrogens. Immunohistochemistry analysis on tissue microarrays containing 429 human prostate tissue samples shows that AR3 is significantly upregulated during PCA progression and AR3 expression level is correlated with the risk of tumor recurrence after radical prostatectomy. Overexpression of AR3 confers ablation-independent growth of PCA cells while specific knock-down of AR3 expression (without altering AR level) in hormone resistant PCA cells attenuates their growth under androgen-depleted conditions in both cell culture and xenograft models, suggesting an indispensable role of AR3 in ablation-independent growth of PCA cells. Furthermore, AR3 may play a distinct yet essential role in ablation-independent growth through regulating a unique set of genes including AKT1, which are not regulated by the prototype AR. Our data suggest that aberrant expression of AR splice variants may be a novel mechanism underlying ablation-independence during PCA progression and AR3 may serve as a prognostic marker to predict patient outcome in response to hormonal therapy. Given that these novel AR splice variants are not inhibited by currently available anti-androgen drugs, development of new drugs targeting these AR isoforms may potentially be effective for treatment of ablation-resistant PCA. Total RNA was extracted from CWR-R1 and 22Rv1 cells treated with shAR3-1, shARa and the scrambled shRNA control, respectively. Each of CWR-R1 and 22Rv1 cells treated with shAR3-1 was compared with the scrambled shRNA control. The same experiments were performed for the cells treated with shARa.

Project description:Androgens are a prequisite for the development of human prostate and prostate cancer. Androgen action is mediated via androgen receptor. Androgen ablation therapy is used for the treatment of metastasized prostate cancer. The aim of the study was to identify genes differentially expressed in benign human prostate, prostate cancer and in prostate tissue three days after castration. These genes are potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets for prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. We used microarrays to examine the gene expression profiles in benign prostate adjacent to prostate cancer and prostate cancer in radical prostatectomy specimens and in prostate tissue samples taken 3 days after surgical castration performed for treatment of prostate cancer.
