Gene expression profile of LAPC4 stimulated by 5α-Abi

ABSTRACT: LAPC4 cells were starved for 2 days and stimulated with 1µM 5α-Abi or 0.1nM DHT. Gene expression profiles are detected to determine the effect of 5a-Abi on prostate cancer cell line.

Project description:To better assess the impact of contaminants on fish reproduction, it is increasingly important to collect data at multiple levels of biological organization. However, a challenge in ecotoxicology is that three of the most commonly measured reproductive endpoints; gonad histology, ex vivo steroid production, and gene expression, can be difficult to obtain in small-bodied fish (e.g. zebrafish, Japanese medaka, fathead minnow) due to limited tissue availability. Using 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) as a test compound, the objectives of the current study were to assess the feasibility of measuring gene expression in tissues also used for ex vivo steroid production studies. A portion of the testes was also used for qualitative histological examination. Male mummichog were exposed to 0, 5, and 50 µg/L DHT for 21 days. Following the exposure, testes were collected and separated into three pieces for histology, ex vivo incubation to measure steroidogenic capacity [Testosterone(T), 17β-estradiol (E2), 11-ketotestosterone (11KT)] and gene expression analyses. Testis RNA at time of dissection and testis RNA at end of ex vivo incubation (18 h) was collected and assessed for RNA integrity. The expression of genes coding for estrogen receptor βa (esrba) and estrogen receptor βb (esrbb) as well as the key steroidogenic genes, steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (star), P450 side chain cleavage (p450scc) and 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (hsd11b3) were assessed in testis before and after ex vivo incubation. There were no significant differences in RNA quality between the two time points, however the expression of esrba, esrbb and p450scc was significantly lower post-incubation, although star, hsd11b3, and all four reference gene expression levels remained unchanged over time. DHT did not affect the expression of any of the measured genes at either concentration. Histological examination showed that all fish contained mature testes dominated by spermatozoa and spermatids. DHT did not affect T production but significantly decreased 11KT production in the high treatment group. This suggests a role for DHT in androgen regulation, and has

Project description:Background: Abiraterone (Abi) is an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor that significantly improves patients' life expectancy in metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). Despite its beneficial effects, many patients have baseline or acquired resistance against Abi. Objective: To identify predictive serum biomarkers for Abi treatment. Design, setting, and participants: We performed a comparative proteome analysis on three Abi sensitive (LNCaPabl, LAPC4, DuCaP) and resistant (LNCaPabl-Abi, LAPC4-Abi, DuCaP-Abi) PCa cell lines using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technique. Two bioinformatic selection methods were applied to select the most promising candidate serum markers. Serum levels of selected proteins were assessed in samples of 100 Abi-treated patients with metastatic castration-resistant disease using ELISA. Moreover, FSCN1 serum concentrations were measured in samples of 69 Docetaxel (Doc) treated mCRPC patients. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: Serum levels were correlated with patients‘ clinicopathological parameters and survival. Results and limitations: Our proteome analysis identified 68 significantly, at least two-fold upregulated proteins in Abi resistant cells. Using two filtering methods four proteins (AMACR, KLK2, FSCN1 and CTAG1A) were selected for ELISA analyses. We found high baseline FSCN1 serum levels to be significantly associated with poor survival in Abi-treated mCRPC patients. Moreover, the multivariable analysis revealed that higher ECOG status (>1) and high baseline FSCN1 serum levels (>10.22 ng/ml by ROC cut-off) were independently associated with worse survival in Abi-treated patients (p<0.001 and p=0.021, respectively). In contrast, no association was found between serum FSCN1 concentrations and overall survival in Doc-treated patients. Conclusions: Our analysis identified baseline FSCN1 serum levels to be independently associated with poor survival of Abi-treated, but not Doc-treated mCRPC patients, suggesting a therapy specific prognostic value for FSCN1. Patient summary: In this study, we identified serum FSCN1 as a marker that may help to predict PCa patients who derive less benefit from Abi but not Doc treatment.
