50uM Casodex treatment of PC-346C Prostate Cancer cells

ABSTRACT: Genome wide expression changes following 50uM Casodex treatment were investigated to determine regulatory targets commonly overlooked in gene function specific microarrays and for comparison of the effects the wild-type AR expressing PC-346C cells against the mutant androgen receptor (AR) LNCaP cell line. Keywords: Expression response to treatment, will be used with another array dataset for cell type comparison.

Project description:BACKGROUND. Human prostate cancer LNCaP and PC-3 cell lines have been extensively used as prostate cancer cell models to study prostate cancer progression and to develop therapeutic agents. Although LNCaP and PC-3 cells are generally assumed to represent early and late stages of prostate cancer development, respectively, there is limited information regarding comprehensive gene expression patterns between these two cells lines and relating these cells to prostate cancer progression based on their gene expression. METHODS. Comprehensive gene expression analysis was performed in LNCaP and PC-3 cells. Total RNA was isolated from cultured cells and hybridized to Illumina human Ref-8 version 3 BeadChips representing 24,526 transcripts. Bioinformatics approach was applied to identify genes, their functional roles and interaction networks that are unique in either LNCaP or PC-3 cells. RESULTS. We observed large differences in gene expression between LNCaP and PC-3 cells.Using robust statistical analysis and very high significance criteria to identify tractable number of genes 115 and 188 genes were identified uniquely expressed in LNCaP and PC-3 cells, respectively. Genes uniquely expressed in LNCaP cells contained UDP-glucosyltransferases as a signature for this cell line. This cell line demonstrated upregulation of various metabolic pathways on gene expression level. Talα/β, GATA-1 and c-Myc/Max were identified by in silico analysis as possible transcription factors regulating unique LNCaP genes. PC-3 cells were characterized by cytosceleton-related genes, keratins in particular. Several other well known genes (VEGFC, IL8, TGFβ2 and others) scattered throughout literature were identified and summarized in the discussion. CONCLUSIONS. This study demonstrated that LNCaP and PC-3 cells represent two distinct prostate cancer cell lineages. LNCaP cells retain many prostate cell specific properties, whereas PC-3 cells have acquired more aggressive bone-like characteristics following bone metastasis and show little resemblance to prostate cells. Microarray studies confirmed previously published results and provided more information between these two prostate cancer cell lines. Future studies need to consider their similarities and differences in gene expression between localized and metastasized prostate cancer.

Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) is overexpressed in the majority of castration-resistant prostate cancers (CRPCs). Our goal was to study the effect of AR overexpression on the chromatin binding of the receptor and to identify AR target genes that may be important in the emergence of CRPC. We have established two sublines of LNCaP prostate cancer (PC) cell line, one overexpressing AR 2M-bM-^@M-^S3-fold and the other 4M-bM-^@M-^S5-fold compared with the control cells. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and deep-sequencing (seq) to identify AR-binding sites (ARBSs). We found that the number of ARBSs and the AR-binding strength were positively associated with the level of AR when cells were stimulated with low concentrations of androgens. In cells overexpressing AR, the chromatin binding of the receptor took place in 100-fold lower concentration of the ligand than in control cells. We conM-oM-,M-^Armed the association of AR level and chromatin binding in two PC xenografts, one containing AR gene ampliM-oM-,M-^Acation with high AR expression, and the other with low expression. By combining the ChIP-seq and expression proM-oM-,M-^Aling, we identiM-oM-,M-^Aed AR target genes that are upregulated in PC. Of them, the expression of ZWINT, SKP2 (S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (p45)) and FEN1 (M-oM-,M-^Bap structure-speciM-oM-,M-^Ac endonuclease 1) was demonstrated to be increased in CRPC, while the expression of SNAI2 was decreased in both PC and CRPC. FEN1 protein expression was also associated with poor prognosis in prostatectomy-treated patients. Finally, the knock-down of FEN1 with small interfering RNA inhibited the growth of LNCaP cells. Our data demonstrate that the overexpression of AR sensitizes the receptor binding to chromatin, thus, explaining how AR signaling pathway is reactivated in CRPC cells. Examination of AR binding with 9 cell line samples + control and 2 xenograft samples + control. ChIPseq with AR antibody in 3 different LNCaP derivative cell lines overexpressing AR upon treatment with different androgen concentrations and 2 different tumor xenografts expressing different AR levels.
