Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE29956: Gene expression analysis of prostate tumors arisen in TRAMP mice in which mast cells are pharmacologically stabilized or genetically ablated. GSE29957: Gene expression analysis of 2 different prostate tumor cell lines isolated from 30 wks old TRAMP mice compared to normal prostate Refer to individual Series
Project description:Analysis of gene expression of prostate tumors arisen in TRAMP mice in which mast cells are pharmacologically stabilized or genetically ablated.The hypothesis tested in the present study was that mast cells inhibition or absence impacted prostate tumor development and histotype. Results demonstrate that prostate tumors arisen in TRAMP mice in which mast cells are pharmacologically stabilized or genetically ablated have a neuroendocrine signature. Total RNA obtained from prostate tumors from 24 wks old TRAMP mice chronically treated with sodium chromoglycate (cromolyn) since 8 wks of age, and from 24 wks old TRAMP KitW-sh mice, compared to untreated 30 wks old TRAMP mice and to non tumoral prostates

Project description:Osteopontin (OPN) is a secreted glycoprotein, belonging to the non-structural extracellular matrix (ECM), and its over expression in human prostate cancer cells has been associated with disease progression, androgen independence and metastases. Nevertheless the pathophysiology of OPN in prostate tumorigenesis has never been studied. We crossed TRansgenic Adenocarcinoma of the Mouse Prostate (TRAMP) mice with OPN deficient (OPN-/-) mice and followed tumor onset and progression in these double mutants. Ultrasound examination detected the early onset of a spherical homogeneous tumor in about 60% of OPN-/- TRAMP mice that seldom occurs in parental TRAMP mice. Histology and immunohistochemistry characterized these tumors for being Tag positive but negative for AR, highly proliferative and endowed of neuroendocrine (NE) features. Gene expression profiling showed up-regulation of genes involved in tumor progression, cell cycle and neuronal differentiation in OPN-deficient versus -sufficient TRAMP tumors. Down-regulated genes included key genes of TGFï?¢ pathway, and a role for TGFï?¢ in NE differentiation of prostate cancer was also confirmed at the protein level. Furthermore, NE genes and particularly those characterizing early prostatic lesions of OPN-deficient mice were found to correlate with those of human NE tumours. These data underscore a novel role of OPN at early stages of prostate cancer growth, protecting against the development of aggressive NE tumors. Total RNA obtained from prostate tumors from 18 and 30 weeks old TRAMP mice, compared to RNA extracted from prostate tumors and prostate tissue from Osteopontin-deleted TRAMP mice
Project description:The glucosinolate-derived phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) has been widely reported to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by modulating multiple biologically relevant activities. Emerging evidence suggests that PEITC may exert its anti-cancer effects through epigenetic mechanisms including alterations of DNA methylation. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of PEITC on prostate carcinogenesis in a murine prostate cancer model (TRAMP). 8 weeks old TRAMP males were fed AIN-93M control diet or diet containing 0.05% PEITC for 8 or16 weeks. We observed reduced tumor incidence in PEITC group (0/5) at 24 weeks of age as compared to control diet group (6/7). We also performed Next-generation sequencing (RNA-seq and SureSelect Methyl-seq) with non-tumor and tumor prostate tissue collected from the above-mentioned TRAMP groups and time matching wildtype (not TRAMP) control diet groups at the same time points. Our bioinformatic analyses reveal that several carcinogenesis pathways as well as pathways of inflammation and cell proliferation were activated in TRAMP group as compared to wildtype group. Surprisingly, these pathways were inhibited by PEITC diet administration. We also identified a number of genes with inverse regulation relationship between their RNA expression and their CpG methylation during prostate carcinogenesis and cancer prevention by PEITC in TRAMP mice. Our study demonstrated that PEITC administration can suppress prostate cancer by epigenetic regulation of key genes. [This GEO/dataset is the bisulfite methyl-seq part of the study.]

Project description:Tumors cause the induction or repression of many genes associated with inflammation. To investigate the up and down regulation of genes associated with immune stimulation or immune tolerance RNA was isolated from dendritic cells from normal or tumor bearing prostate for microarray analysis. Using the TRansgenic Adenocarcinoma of the Mouse Prostate (TRAMP) model and a fold change comparison system we identified genes that are associated with immune tolerance to be up-regulated and genes associated with immunity to be down regulated in tumor associated dendritic cells. Keywords: Comparative gene expression, prostate cancer, dendritic cells

Project description:Gene expression profile of Transgenic Adenocarcinoma of the Mouse Prostate (TRAMP) reveals murine targets for preclinical development of human prostate cancer therapy In this study, we have generated an open source TRAMP microarray dataset to identify differentially expressed genes from human prostate cancer that have concordant expression in TRAMP tumors, and thereby represent lead targets for preclinical therapy development. Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 chips were used for microarrays of total RNA from 9 TRAMP tumors and 9 normal prostates (ventral and dorsolateral lobes). Keywords: prostate cancer, TRAMP
