Remodeling of DNA transcription genomic fabric in Capridine-treated LNCaP human prostate cancer cell line
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Capridine is a chemotherapeutic agent with specificity towards prostate cancer and minimal bone marrow toxicity. Capridine structure is consistent with a classical DNA intercalating agent, although its DNA intercalation property does not fully correlate with its anti prostate cancer specific activity. We have used Agilent human gene expression arrays to identify the cellular targets of Capridine on androgen responsive LNCaP cells, a classical cell lines for prostate cancer studies. We found that expression of 142 unigenes genes was altered by Capridine. Interestingly, the most altered category was that of transcription regulators: 10 down and 16 upregulated. Our data confirm that, in addition to DNA intercalation, Capridine targets DNA transcription via histone modulation in a cell-specific manner.
