Project description:Effects of sulforaphane and 3,3’-diindolylmethane on genome-wide promoter methylation in normal prostate epithelial cells and prostate cancer cells This study was undertaken to determine the genome-wide effects of sulforaphane (SFN) and 3,3’-diindolylmethane (DIM) on promoter methylation in normal prostate epithelial cells and prostate cancer cells. Nimblegen Human DNA Methylation 3x720K CpG Island Plus RefSeq Promoter Array was used in this study. We hypothesize that both SFN and DIM are effective dietary modulators of DNA methylation due to their inhibitory effects on DNMT expression, and that SFN and DIM can differentially affect the promoter methylation profiles in normal and cancerous prostate epithelial cells. Normal prostate epithelial cells (PrEC), androgen-dependent prostate cancer epithelial cells (LnCAP) and androgen-independent prostate cancer epithelial cells (PC3) were treated with vehicle control, 15uM SFN, or 15uM DIM for 48h in triplicates

Project description:Primary human hepatocytes were treated with 2 non-cytotoxic concentrations of sulforaphane (SFN; 10 and 50 uM) phenethyl isothiocyante (PEITC; 10 and 25 uM), 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM; 10 and 50 uM), or one concentration of oltipraz (OPZ; 30 uM) for 48 hours. Given the considerable heterogeneity of the human population, it was essential that each experiment was performed with hepatocytes from the same liver, i.e. each liver served as its own control. Each treatment was performed on three batches of human hepatocytes, each derived from a separate liver. 32 arrays, 8 experimental groups.

Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of human PC3 invasive prostate cancer cell line treated with vehicle control (SAH, S-adenosylhomocysteine) and with SAM (S-adenosylmethionine) as well as of untreated human LNCaP non-invasive prostate cancer cell line. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA Methylation BeadChip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs in human cell lines exposed to described treatments. Samples included biological triplicate of PC3 control (SAH treated), biological triplicate of PC3 treated with SAM, and biological duplicate of LNCaP untreated.
Project description:Expression profiling of isoflavone and 3,3’-diindolylmethane treated C4-2B prostate cancer cells was conducted using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0. Array
Project description:Expression profiling of isoflavone and 3,3’-diindolylmethane treated C4-2B prostate cancer cells was conducted using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0. Array C4-2B prostate cancer cells were treated with isoflavone and B-DIM for 6 hours or longer up to 72 hours. Gene expression profiling was conducted

Bisulfite-converted DNA from the 8 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation BeadChip v1.2.
Project description:To identify genomic regions which display concordant epigenetics alterations in prostate cancer, we performed MeDIP and ChIP-on-chip profiling of normal prostate epithelial cells (PrEC) and the prostate cancer cell line LNCaP. These promoter arrays were integrated with expression arrays of the same cells to discover and characterise regions of Long Range Epigenetic Silencing (LRES) in prostate cancer.
Project description:Prostate cancer cells (PC3) were treated with purified human recombinant CRISP3 protein or vehicle control for 4 hours before whole cell protein extraction
