RNA-seq analysis of SLIRP knockdown with 1nM DHT in LNCaP cells

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to profile gene expression changes that could occur with the loss of co-repressor SLIRP. In addition, we wanted to investigate how DHT could further alter gene expression. Methods: LNCaP cells were transfected with custom nonsense control siRNA or a pool of SLIRP siRNA (HSS130109, HSS188666, HSS188667 Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) at 40nM for 24hrs. Cells were washed once with PBS and replaced with SFM containing EtOH or 1nM/ml DHT for another 24hrs. Two biological replicates were collected from 2 different experiemnts for total of 4 replicates. RNA collected was sequenced using Illumia HiSeq2000 single read 50 bp by the HTSF core at UNC and aligned and normalized by the Bioinformatics core at UNC. Results: We found a differential gene expression pattern between our control and SLIRP knockdown samples. We also identified a 176 AR gene signature with 3 subclasses and a large SLIRP gene signature (~1700).

Project description:This project includes two proximity labeling experiments, one to establish the vicinity of UNC-45 under non-stress conditions and one to examine changes in the vicinity of UNC-45 under optogenetically induced mechanical muscle stress. The first non-stress experiment consists of 15 samples after biotin-streptavidin pull-down in 5 replicates of 3 conditions (3 transgenic C. elegans strains). Transgenic C. elegans strains expressing the mutant BirA biotin ligases miniTurbo and TurboID in body wall muscle cells were used to compare a proximity-labeled strain expressing an UNC-45-miniTurbo-2xHA fusion protein in the muscle cells (PP3135 unc-119(ed4)III; hhIs241[unc-54p::unc-45::miniTurbo::2xHA; unc-119(+)]) with a strain expressing the biotin ligase TurboID-2xHA without fusion protein in muscle cells (PP3138 unc-119(ed4)III; hhIs242[unc-54p::TurboID::2xHA; unc-119(+)]) to find transient interactors of the myosin chaperone UNC-45 in muscle. As a control, we included a strain expressing a transgenic UNC-45-FLAG protein in the body wall muscle (PP1017 unc-119(ed4)III; hhIs84[unc-119(+); unc-54p::unc-45::FLAG]). Biotinylated proteins in 2.5 mg lysates of these strains were pulled down with streptavidin sepharose beads and identified by mass spectrometry. The second mechanical stress experiment consists of 10 samples after biotin-streptavidin pull-down in 5 replicates of 2 conditions. A transgenic C. elegans strain expressing the biotin ligase miniTurbo fused to UNC-45 in body wall muscle cells was crossed with a transgenic strain expressing the optogenetic channelrhodopsin mutant ChR2(C128S;H134R)-FLAG in body wall muscle cells (PP3358 hhIs241[unc-54p::unc-45::miniTurbo::2xHA; unc-119(+)]; hhIs251[myo-3p::ChR2(C128S,H134R)-FLAG::unc-54 3'UTR, Cbrunc-119(+)]). The latter transgene is used to contract the worms’ muscles by blue light illumination to induce mechanical muscle stress. The optogenetic channel is activated by adding the cofactor all-trans retinal (ATR) to its food source E. coli OP50. In this experiment, we compared proximity-labeling in the UNC-45-miniTurbo-2xHA expressing strain under conditions with ATR (L+, treatment, contraction) with proximity-labeling in the UNC-45-miniTurbo-2xHA expressing strain under conditions without ATR (L-, control, no contraction) to find transient interactors of the candidate UNC-45 in muscle under mechanical stress. Biotinylated proteins in 2.5 mg of lysates of these strains were pulled down using streptavidin sepharose beads and identified by mass spectrometry.

Project description:While thousands of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are expressed in higher eukaryotes, the potential regulatory roles of lncRNAs in regulated gene transcription programs remain rather poorly understood. Here, we report that two lncRNAs highly overexpressed in aggressive prostate cancer, PRNCR1 and PCGEM1, bind successively to the androgen receptor (AR) and strongly enhance both ligand-dependent and ligand-independent AR-mediated gene activation programs and proliferation in prostate cancer cells. Binding of PRNCR1 to the C-terminally acetylated AR on enhancers and its association with DOT1L appear to be required for recruitment of the second lncRNA, PCGEM, to the N-terminally methylated AR. Unexpectedly, recognition of the H3K4me3 promoter mark by the PHD finger-domain of Pygopus2, recruited by PCGEM1, proves to enhance selective looping of AR-bound enhancers to target gene promoters in these cells, revealing a novel aspect of ligand-induced enhancer-promoter interactions. In “resistant” prostate cancer cells, these overexpressed lncRNAs can interact with, and are required for the robust activation of both truncated and full length AR, causing DHT-independent activation of the AR transcriptional program and cell proliferation. Conditionally-expressed short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated targeting of these lncRNAs in these resistant cancer cell lines strongly suppressed xenograft growth in vivo. Together, these results suggest that these overexpressed lncRNAs can potentially serve as a required component of castration-resistance in prostatic tumors. Global Run On (GRO) assay followed by high throughput sequencing (GRO-seq); after knocking down PYGO2 LNCaP cells were grown to 30-50% confluence and siRNA/ASO transfections were carried out using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Control samples were transfected with scramble ASO and control siRNA, respectively. On the following day of transfection, the cells were cultured in UltraCULTURE (Phenol red free) + 5% Charcoal Dextran Stripped (CDS) serum for 48 hours. For androgen induction, we treat cells with DHT from a 100 uM stock in 70% ethanol to a final concentration of 100 nM for 1 hour Control siRNA, -DHT Control siRNA, +DHT Pygo2 siRNA, -DHT Pygo2 siRNA, +DHT
