Project description:To explore the potential drug target candidate in enzalutamide-resistant PCa, the differential abundances of transcripts between enzalutamide-resistant C4-2 Enz-R and C4-2 cells were examined.
Project description:Prostate cancer C4-2B cells were cultured in enzalutamide in a dose-escalation manner. After sixty passages cells were resistant to enzalutamide, with a specific sets of genes been deregulated. We performed global gene expression analysis by cDNA microarrays to identify genes responsible for enzalutamide resistance in C4-2B-MDVR cells. Enzalutamide resistant C4-2B-MDVR cells were selected from C4-2B cells during long time enzalutamide treatment. Genes responsible for enzalutamide resistance were identified using C4-2B vs. C4-2B-MDVR RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:The overall goal of this study was to identify genes differentially expressed in enzalutamide-sensitive (C4-2B Con) and enzalutamide-resistant (C4-2B ENZR) C4-2B cells.
Project description:We established an enzalutamide-resistant C4-2b prostate cell line that has an active androgen receptor by maintaining the C4-2b cell line in serially increasing concentrations of enzalutamide. Among the CRPC cell lines, we selected the C4-2b cell line because it is known to have AR variants, and we desired to identify enzymes with the ability to regulate the activity of AR variants as well as the wild type AR. After 2 months, we acquired resistant cells in even 10 uM enzalutamide. After validation of enzalutamide-resistant character, we analyzed global changes in mRNA expression by using quantitative mRNA-sequencing analysis.

Project description:We report the expression profile of genes in control and enzalutamide drug-resistant (C4-2-ENZ) C4-2 cells. The C4-2-ENZ cells were treated with enzalutmaide for at least 1 months. C4-2-CON serves as a control. Total RNA was extracted for RNA-seq.
Project description:To explore the gene regulatory mechanisms underlying PTUPB treatment in drug-resistant prostate cancer cells. We performed RNA sequencing analyses using PTUPB-treated C4-2B MDVR cells with or without enzalutamide treatment to identify the gene programs affected by the treatments.
Project description:Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States. The Androgen receptor (AR) antagonist Enzalutamide is a FDA approved therapy for treatment of late stage prostate cancer patients and is currently under clinical study for early stage prostate cancer treatment. After a short positive response period, patients will develop drug resistance. In this study we used RNA-sequencing and bioinformatics analysis to identify Notch signaling pathway as a deregulated pathway in Enzalutamide-resistant cells. NOTCH2 and c-MYC positively correlated with AR expression in patients' samples mimicking cells with Enzalutamide-resistance. In Enzalutamide-resistant cells, MR49F and C4-2R, we found that cleaved-NOTCH1, HES1 and c-MYC protein expression are significantly elevated indicating an activated NOTCH1 pathway in those cells. In addition, ADAM10 and ADAM17 had a higher expression in Enzalutamide-resistant cells, suggesting a role for S2 cleavage in the increased cleaved NOTCH1 expression. Furthermore, treatment of Enzalutamide-resistant cells with PF-03084014 in combination with Enzalutamide increased cell death, decreased colony formation ability and re-sensitized Enzalutamide-resistant cells to Enzalutamide. Knockdown of NOTCH1 in C4-2R increases Enzalutamide sensitivity by decreasing cell proliferation and increasing cell death. In a 22RV1 xenograft model, PF-03084014 and Enzalutamide induced a decrease in tumor growth through a reduced cell proliferation and increased apoptosis. These results indicate that Notch1 signaling can contribute to Enzalutamide-resistance in Prostate cancer and inhibition of this pathway can re-sensitize resistant cells to Enzalutamide.
