Project description:DNA methylation alterations are a universal feature of cancer. In prostate cancer, site specific DNA methylation changes have been suggested as driver in disease initial and progression. Here we provide a comprehensive assessment of DNA methylation changes in prostate cancer patient derived xenograft (PDX) models. We delineate patterns of both site specific and global methylation changes and nominate novel candidates for biomarker development.

Project description:A set of 17 prostate cancer patient-derived xenografts (PDX, Lin et al 2014, Cancer research) was analyzed by mass spectrometry-based proteomics to characterize the effects of castration in vivo, and the proteome differences between NEPC and prostate adenocarcinomas.
Project description:Developing animal models representating the cancer biology of advanced prostate cancer patients is challenging but essential for delivering individualized medical therapies. In an effort to develop patient derived xenograft (PDX) models, we took the metastatic site tissue from the rib lesion twice (ie, before and after enzalutamide treatment) over a twelve week period and implanted subcutaneously and under the renal capsule in immuno-deficient mice. To characterize and compare the genome and transcriptome landscapes of patient tumor tissues and the corresponding PDX models, we performed whole exome and transcriptome sequencing for metastatic tumor tissue as well as its derived PDXs. We demonstrated the feasibility of developping PDX models from patient who developed castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Our data suggested PDX models preserve the patient’s genomic and transcriptomic alterations in high fidelity, as illustrated by somatic mutation, copy number variation, gene fusion and gene expression.
