Project description:Our findings suggested that cytokines were upregulated in p53 null primary prostate cells after deleting Rb and/or Pten. Rb and Pten deletion are important for prostate cancer progression. p53-/- Rbf/f vs p53-/- Rbâf/âf primary prostate cells. Three independent experiments were performed. p53-/- Rbf/f vs p53-/- Rbâf/âf Ptenâf/âf primary prostate cells. Four independent experiments were performed.
Project description:Yap1 is a critical transcription coactivator in the Hippo pathways. However, its target genes are not well defined in prostate cancer cells. To determine the downstream transcriptional targets and pathways of Yap1 in Pten/Smad4-defiicent mouse prostate cancer cells, ChIP-seq was performed in the Pten/Smad4-deficient mouse prostate cancer cells.

Project description:We generated immune checkpoint blockade resistant cell lines from a prostate tumor driven by Probasin-Cre Pten/P53/Smad4 loxp deletion, through serial implantation and ICB treatment. We then wanted to explore whether gene expression changes associated with resistance to immune checkpoint blockade could be reversed by treating ICB resistant cells with the pan-HDAC inhibitor Vorinostat. We used a microarray to determine gene expression changes caused by Vorinostat treatment in these cells with biological duplicates.
Project description:PB-Cre/Pten/Smad4 is a transgenic mouse model of metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma (PMID: 21289624). To study the transcriptomic alterations associated with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), the PB-Cre/Pten/Smad4 males with established prostate cancer were treated with surgical castration followed by enzalutamide-admixed diet. After about 4 weeks, dorsolateral prostate (DLP) lobes of treatment-naïve prostate tumors (N=2) and CRPC tumors (N=3) were harvested and extracted for RNA purification and microarray profiling. To further study the transcriptomic changes associated with lung metastases of the PB-Cre/Pten/Smad4/mTmG CRPC model, the PB-Cre/Pten/Smad4 males with established prostate cancer were treated with surgical castration followed by enzalutamide-admixed diet. About 3 months later, from one mouse anterior prostate (AP), dorsolateral prostate (DLP), ventral prostate (VP) and GFP+ lung metastasis nodules were each harvested for RNA purification and microarray profiling.

Project description:Acute Pten loss initiates prostate tumorigenesis characterized by cellular senescence response. Here we examine the cellular senescence response in epithelial individual cells, by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) in Ptenpc-/- and Ptenpc-/-; Timp1-/- GEMMs. ScRNAseq analysis determines a cluster of senescent cells expressing the senescence-related genes. A significant positive correlation is observed between the senescence score and Bcl2 expression. This provides the rational for targeting senescent cells using Bcl2 inhibitor.
