Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE4453: Androgen receptor coregulators baseline comparisons GSE4454: Androgen receptor-coregulators hormone responsiveness LNCaP / GSF Refer to individual Series
Project description:The androgen receptor (AR) directs diverse biological processes through interaction with coregulators such as androgen receptor trapped clone-27 (ART-27). The impact of ART-27 on genome-wide transcription was examined. The studies indicate that loss of ART-27 enhances expression of many androgen-regulated genes, suggesting that ART-27 inhibits gene expression. Surprisingly, classes of genes that are upregulated upon ART-27 depletion include regulators of DNA damage checkpoint and cell cycle progression, suggesting that ART-27 functions to keep expression levels of these genes low. Keywords: LNCaP, cell type comparison, UXT, ART-27, androgen receptor, R1881, AR, androgen-regulated gene expression, prostate cancer
Project description:Rapid immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry of endogenous protein (RIME) was conducted to examine interactome of androgen receptor (AR) in LNCaP cells.
Project description:To decipher the contribution of coregulators to androgen receptor target gene expression, effect of siRNA-mediated silencing of 18 clinically relevant coregulators on bona fide androgen receptor target gene expression was studied.

Experiment Overall Design: Steroid-deprived LNCaP cells were transfected with control or ART-27 siRNA and stimulated with ethanol vehicle or 10 nM R1881 for 18 hrs. 8 samples, 4 conditions, 2 replicates per condition.
Project description:The text description is: LNCaP are androgen receptor expressing prostate carcinoma cells. Genital skin fibroblasts also express the androgen receptor. Cells were either proliferating or they were G0-arrested. Treatment of cells was performed with either the androgen DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the androgen analogue R1881 (methyltrienolone), or the solvent ethanol. Some hybridizations were performed in the type 1 design. In these cases, the hormone treated sample was hybridized against the ethanol treated sample on the same microarray. Hormone mediated induction or repression of gene transcription can directly be deduced from R/G normalized ratios on arrays. For other experiments, the ethanol treated control and the hormone treated experiment were hybridized on separate microarrays against a common reference of RNA. This reference was composed out of common reference batch CRG (50%) and a fibroblast RNA (50%). This reference was called mixed reference. For all experiments, the same batch of mixed reference was used. A compound treatment design type is where the response to administration of a compound or chemical (including biological compounds such as hormones) is assayed. Compound Based Treatment: Ethanol, R1881 (methyltrienolone), or DHT (dihydrotestosterone) Cell Line: LNCaP (prostate cancer) or foreskin fibroblasts Culture Synchrony: proliferation / Go-arrest Computed
