Project description:Analysis of bone metastases tissue from castration-resistant prostate cancer patients at the RNA level in relation to expression of constitutively active androgen receptor variants termed AR-V7 and AR-V567es. Total RNA obtained from frozen bone metastases samples were analyzed using a gene expression array and further to reveal differences in-between sample groups according to expression of AR-V7 and AR-V567es mRNA levels. Samples were defined to have high (AR-V high) or low (others) expression of those variants, respectively, for definition and more information please see Hörnberg et al PLoS One April 2011 Vol 6 Issue 4 , link and PMID below.
Project description:To identify molecular singnal alterations between androgen dependent prostate cancer and castration resistant prostate cancer, we performed interspecies comparative microarray analyses using RNAs prepared from uncastrasion and castration tumor from LNCAP Orhotopic xenograft models of prostate cancer. microarray data from uncastrasion and castration tumor revealed that the gene expression profile is most significantly altered in between androgen dependent prostate cancer and castration resistant prostate cancer. Comparative analyses of LNCAP Orhotopic xenograft models of prostate cancer showed that genes involved in androgen dependent and androgen independent tumor were significantly altered. We prepared RNA samples from 4 samples uncastrasion and 4 samples castration tumors from LNCAP Orhotopic xenograft models of prostate cancer . High-quality RNA samples were subjected to microarray analysis using the Affymetrix Human Gene 2.0 ST platform, and only those results that passed examinations for quality assurance and quality control of the Human Gene 2.0 ST arrays were retrieved. In total, we obtained gene expression profiles from the following samples: 4 samples uncastrasion and 4 samples castration tumors
Project description:Acquisition of resistance to the PARP inhibitor, Olaparib, constitutes a major challenge for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. The purpose of this study was to identify molecular targets responsible for the development of acquired Olaparib resistance in advanced prostate cancer. Towards this goal, next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based gene expression profiling (RNA-Sequencing; RNA-Seq) was performed on castration-sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC)/Olaparib-sensitive LNCaP cells, castration-sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC)/Olaparib-resistant LN-OlapR cells, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CSPC)/Olaparib-sensitive C4-2B cells, and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CSPC)/Olaparib-resistant 2B-OlapR cells.
