Project description:Enzalutamide (formerly MDV3100 and available commercially as Xtandi), a novel androgen receptor (AR) signaling inhibitor, blocks the growth of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in cellular model systems and was shown in a clinical study to increase survival in patients with metastatic CRPC. Enzalutamide inhibits multiple steps of AR signaling: (1) binding of androgens to AR, (2) AR nuclear translocation, and (3) association of AR with DNA. Here we used Affymetrix human genome microarray technology to investigate the global programme of gene expression of LNCaP cells in response to enzalutamide alone and in the context of DHT-stimulated androgen receptor gene expression. LNCaP cells were grown in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 5% hormone depleted FBS and treated with vehicle (control sample) , DHT (100 nM), enzalutamide (1 or 10 M-BM-5M) or DHT (100 nM) plus enzalutamide (1 or 10 M-BM-5M)for 16 hours for RNA extraction and hybridization. Each condition was done in triplicate.
Project description:The goal of this study was to determine how androgen receptor inhibition alters transcriptional programs in prostate cancer cells. LNCaP prostate cancer cells were grown in 10% charcoal-stripped serum (CSS) supplemented with 0.5 nanomolar dihydrotestosterone (DHT), in CSS without DHT modeling castration, with CSS + DHT but in the presence of 10 micromolar enzalutamide, or in CSS without DHT (castrated) and in the presence of enzalutamide for 72 hours. Analysis shows that androgen receptor target genes are reduced with castration, enzalutamide or the combination of castration + enzalutamide.
Project description:To establish wehther the genes stimulated or inhibited by MPC309 are directly influenced by the AR, we conducted ChIP-seq of AR from LNCaP-abl cells that had been treated with vehicle (DMSO), MPC309, Backbone, DHT, or Enzalutamide overnight. Our results revealed a more pronounced AR presence in cells exposed to MPC309 and DHT as compared to control groups and those treated with enzalutamide, reinforcing the idea that MPC309 facilitates distinct AR interactions with chromatin. Genes linked with AR occupancy mirrored similar GO terms as those seen in RNA-seq experiments. Out of the 251 genes repressed by MPC309 compared to controls (vehicle and backbone), 246 (98%) had an AR binding site within 15 kb upstream or downstream of the gene promoter. Similarly, of the 405 genes stimulated by MPC309, 387 (96%) had an AR binding site within 15 kb of the gene promoter. These observations suggest that the gene regulation driven by MPC309 stems from AR interactions with chromatin, resulting in varying impacts on gene expression compared to DHT or enzalutamide, consequently inhibiting the growth of prostate cancer cells.
Project description:Gene expression in LNCaP cells after treatment with the androgen receptor targeting drugs bicalutamide (BIC), enzalutamide (ENZ) and apalutamide (ARN) in the presence or absence of dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
Project description:Analyze the transcriptomic changes of LNCaP upon DMSO, DHT, Enzalutamide(ENZ), ET516 treatment. The DHT treatment induced robust androgen receptor (AR) signaling up-regulation, wheras ENZ and ET516 can significantly restore DHT-induced AR signaling changes.
Project description:The goal of this analysis is to profile AR-regulated genes, especially non-coding RNAs in three androgen sensitive prostate cancer cell lines, MDA-PCA-2B, LNCaP and VCaP. The two cell lines were serum-starved first, followed by dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stimulation or treated with Enzalutamide (AR inhibitor) without starvation. Transcriptome profiling was generated by RNA-sequencing from polyA-selected RNA. These experiments are followed by knock-down experiments of AR and ARlnc1 in MDA-PCA-2B, and also Enzalutamide (anti-androgen) treatment of LNCaP cells.
