Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE16212: Androgen repsonsive microRNAs in LNCaP cell Lines GSE16213: Androgen repsonsive microRNAs in LAPC-4 cell lines Refer to individual Series
Project description:Expression data from prostate cancer cell lines LNCap (androgen dependent) and DU145 (androgen independent), transfected with Pin1 or control siRNA
Project description:We measured the effect of docetaxel treatment to three differentially responsive prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP, DU145 and PC-3, based on a transcriptional time course response by microarray analysis. These cell lines represent both androgen independent (DU145 and PC-3) and androgen sensitive (LNCaP) cells
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of androgen-sensitive and –refractory prostate cancer cells. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 480.000 CpGs in Prostate cancer cell lines showing different sensitivity to hormonal treatments. Samples included the androgen receptor negative cell lines PC3 and DU145, the androgen sensitive cell line LNCaP and the LNCaP abl cell line expressing androgen receptor but refractory prostate cancer cell line to hormonal treatments.
Project description:We performed AR ChIP-seq in LNCaP-AR, VCaP and CWR22PC cells in the presence of vehicle, androgen, or androgen plus antiandrogen. These three cell lines showed variable sensitivity to these drugs.
Project description:In this study the development of androgen independence in a cell model of disease was selected as a mirror of to the events at play in the development of Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer in-vivo. LNCaP cells which are androgen dependent and androgen independent sublines; LNCaP-Abl and LNCaP-Abl-Hof were subject to extensive fractionation by 1-D SDS PAGE and accurate mass-high resolution mass spectrometry (Q Exactive) to identify proteins whose expression was changes significantly in response to androgen independent growth.
Project description:Kynureninase is a member of a large family of catalytically diverse but structurally homologous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzymes known as the aspartate aminotransferase superfamily or alpha-family. The Homo sapiens and other eukaryotic constitutive kynureninases preferentially catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine to produce 3-hydroxyanthranilate and l-alanine, while l-kynurenine is the substrate of many prokaryotic inducible kynureninases. The human enzyme was cloned with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag, expressed, and purified from a bacterial expression system using Ni metal ion affinity chromatography. Kinetic characterization of the recombinant enzyme reveals classic Michaelis-Menten behavior, with a Km of 28.3 +/- 1.9 microM and a specific activity of 1.75 micromol min-1 mg-1 for 3-hydroxy-dl-kynurenine. Crystals of recombinant kynureninase that diffracted to 2.0 A were obtained, and the atomic structure of the PLP-bound holoenzyme was determined by molecular replacement using the Pseudomonas fluorescens kynureninase structure (PDB entry 1qz9) as the phasing model. A structural superposition with the P. fluorescens kynureninase revealed that these two structures resemble the "open" and "closed" conformations of aspartate aminotransferase. The comparison illustrates the dynamic nature of these proteins' small domains and reveals a role for Arg-434 similar to its role in other AAT alpha-family members. Docking of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine into the human kynureninase active site suggests that Asn-333 and His-102 are involved in substrate binding and molecular discrimination between inducible and constitutive kynureninase substrates.
