Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human PC-3 prostate cancer cells lentivirally infected with non-target control (NTC) short hairpin (sh)RNA comparing with lentivirally shRNA mediated human ETV4 knock-down. Cells were either cultured for 24 hours at 20% oxygen tension or 0.2% oxygen. Goal was to determine (i) genes affected by hypoxia in PC-3 NTC cells and (ii) identification of hypoxically induced genes requiring ETV4 for hypoxic regulation.

Project description:The transcription factor GATA2 regulates chemotherapy resistance in prostate cancer. We report a novel GATA2 transcriptional program that has implications for chemotherapy resistance disease and aggressiveness in castration resistant prostate cancer. Examination of the transcriptional network changes induced in human Ch-CRPC cell lines by two shRNA mediated knock down of GATA2 versus random shRNA control
Project description:Great efforts have been made to identify key molecular aberrations that sustain growth and confer resistance to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in advanced prostate cancer (PC), and yet PC remains a lethal disease. Recent years have witnessed the discovery of several master regulator transcription factors that enhance lethal PC aggressiveness and provide actionable targets that may improve patient survival. Here we explore the role of the microphthalmia transcription factor (MITF) in lethal prostate cancer. To identify the mechanisms through which MITF mododulates prostate cancer aggressiveness, we knock-down MITF in three prostate cancer cell lines to identify the MITF regulated effector gene network contributing to lethal prostate cancer. Methods: We compared global transcription of three prostate cancer cell lines transduced with a siRNA control and 2 siRNAs targetting MITF by RNAseq. Results: RNA-seq of MITF knockdown prostate cancer cells uncovered a trasncriptional network of MITF regulated genes Conclusions: MITF regulates a discrette gene network that contributes to prostate cancer aggressiveness
Project description:To investigate the role of TGF-M-NM-21-regulated miRNAs in the progression of colorectal cancer,we performed comprehensive miRMA microarray analysis on RNA derived from typical human colorectal cancer cell lines and TGF-M-NM-21 knock-down human colorectal cancer cell lines. We identified a novel set of TGF-M-NM-21-related miRNAs. Total RNA was isolated from TGF-M-NM-21-knock down colorecatl cancer cell lines and controls.Three-condition experiment: shRNA-TGF-M-NM-21/Lovo cells vs. shRNA-Control/Lovo cells, shRNA-TGF-M-NM-21/SW620 cells vs. shRNA-Control/ SW620 cells, and shRNA-TGF-M-NM-21/HT29 cells vs. shRNA-Control/HT29 cells. Biological replicates: 1 Lovo cells stably transfected with shRNA-TGF-M-NM-21- pSUPER gfp-neo, 1SW620 cells stably transfected with shRNA-TGF-M-NM-21- pSUPER gfp-neo, 1HT29 cells stably transfected with shRNA-TGF-M-NM-21- pSUPER gfp-neo, 1Love cells stably transfected with shRNA-Control- pSUPER gfp-neo, 1SW620 cells stably transfected with shRNA-Control- pSUPER gfp-neo, and 1HT29 cells stably transfected with shRNA-Control- pSUPER gfp-neo, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
Project description:We identified a novel molecular target and diagnostic biomarker, SHISA2, as an overexpressed gene in high-grade prostate cancer (PC) cells. To understand the association of SHISA2 overexpression with the aggressiveness of high-grade PC, we performed gene expression analysis using a cDNA microarray. Gene expression patterns of PC-3 cells transfected with the two shRNA expression vectors (siSHISA2 and siCONTROL) were compared.
Project description:Elk1 directs selective gene induction that is a substantial and critical component of growth signaling by AR in PC cells. Gene expression in LNCaP cells was determined in androgen-depleted medium in response to R1881 in ELK1 knock down (via AR shRNA) or in cells treated with control shRNA.
