Project description:Here we report the genome-wide set of factors bound by NKX3.1 or control IgG in human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP). Examination of NKX3.1 binding in LNCaP prostate cancer cells
Project description:The NKX3.1 homeobox gene functions in mitochondria to regulate oxidative stress To investigate the role of NKX3.1 in regulation of oxidative stress, we employed transcriptome analysis of mouse prostate ( from 4 month old Nkx3.1+/+ and Nkx3.1-/- mice treated with paraquat), and human prostate cells ( RWPE1 cells engineered with empty vector (altered pTRIPZ), NKX3.1 wild type over-expression, and NKX3.1 (R52C) over-expression treated with paraquat). Mouse tissue or human cells were snap frozen for subsequent molecular analysis.

Project description:To investigate the role of NKX3.1 in prostate differentiation, we employed transcriptome analysis of mouse seminal vesicle (from 15-month-old Nkx3.1+/+ mice); mouse prostate (from 4-month-old Nkx3.1+/+ and Nkx3.1-/- mice); human prostate cells (RWPE1 cells engineered with empty vector (altered pTRIPZ), NKX3.1 wild type over-expression, and NKX3.1 (T164A) mutant over-expression); and tissue recombinants (generated from combining engineered mouse epithelial cells (seminal vesicle epithelial cells or prostate epithelial cells from 2-month-old mice) and rat UGS mesenchymal cells). Mouse tissue or human cells were snap frozen for subsequent molecular analysis. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Project description:Analysis of transcriptome of prostate tissue from 4-month-old Nkx3.1 +/+ and Nkx3.1 -/- mice. Total RNA obtained from prostate tissues from 4-month-old Nkx3.1 +/+ and Nkx3.1 -/- mice. Prostate tissues were harvested and processed for RNA isolation and transcriptome analysis using the MagMAX RNA isolation kit (Ambion).
Project description:NKX3.1 is an androgen-regulated, prostate-specific gene located on chromosome 8p21, a region frequently undergoing allelic loss in human prostate cancer. Mice deficient in NKX3.1 show signs of epithelial de-differentiation and develop dysplasia and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) that progresses to overt prostate cancer when combined with deletions of additional tumor suppressors such as PTEN or p27Kip1. Although NKX3.1 displays the typical features of an NK class homeobox transcription factor, mechanisms of NKX3.1-mediated tumor suppression remain insufficiently understood because neither the transcriptional program governed by NKX3.1 nor its interacting proteins have been comprehensively revealed.
