Project description:LNCaP prostate cancer cells were infected by lentivirus expressing either ctrl or HOTAIR, and the cells were cultured in hormone-deprived condition (Ethl) or in the presence of androgen (R1881). C4-2B prostate cancer cells were infected by lentivirus expressing either shCtrl or shHOTAIR, and the cells were cultured in hormone-deprived condition (Ethl) or in the presence of androgen (R1881).
Project description:Analysis of LNCaP cell molecular differences and their response to insulin compared to control or R1881. Insulin differentially regulated genes, as did R1881, though the treatments had a very different profile, with some overlaps. These results provide insights into the effect of insulin on cancer related pathways in an androgen deprived setting.
Project description:We analyzed androgens effects on human neural stem cells (hNSCs) by RNA-sequencing after either DMSO (solvent), DHT 100nM, 10nM, Testosterone 100nM, 10nM, R1881 1nM or retinoic acid 1µM 24 hours treatment in order to find the role of androgen receptor (AR) during brain development.
Project description:Analysis of LNCaP cell molecular differences in monocultures and in co-cultures in the presence of R1881. Human osteoblast molecular signatures were also identified from the tissue engineered bone monocultures. LNCaP cells molecular profile was altered by co-culturing with human osteoblasts compared to LNCaP monocultures with or without R1881 stimulations. These results provide insights into the behavioral change of LNCaP cells in a bone-like microenvironment. In this study, LNCaP cells cultured in the hydrogel were prepared and co-cultured with or without human osteoblasts (in the form oftissue engineered bone). Similarly, tissue engineered bone monocultures were also prepared 4-6 weeks earlier before co-culturing with the LNCaP cells. These cultures were maintained up to 24 days in RPMI growth media (+10% FBS) before they were androgen-starved for 48 hours. Cells were either treated with 1nM R1881 or continued to be androgen-deprived (without R1881 with 0.008% ethanol) for another 48 hours prior to cell harvest for gene expression analysis. Biological triplicates were prepared for each condition.
Project description:Analysis of LNCaP cell molecular differences and their response to R1881 in 2D and 3D cultures. Androgen regulated genes were differentially expressed between 2D and 3D cultures. These results provide insights into factors that influence the expression of androgen regulated genes In this study, LNCaP cells cultured in tissue culture plastic (2D) and in the hydrogel (3D) were maintained up to 3 days and 24 days respectively in serum containing media before they were androgen-starved for 48 hours. Cells were either treated with 1nM R1881 or continued to be androgen-deprived (without R1881 with 0.008% ethanol) for another 48 hours prior to cell harvest for gene expression analysis. Biological triplicates were prepared for each condition.

Project description:We compared PC3 cells with or without harboring the wild-AR construct in the growth conditions of 1nM R1881, 10nM R1881 and ethanol (the solvent for R1881). The MOCK control is PC3 cells transfected with the empty vectors.
Project description:LNCaP cells were cultures in steroid depleted medium for 5 days before treatment with synthetic androgen (R1881, 10nM) for 16h. Transcriptomics analysis was performed to compare gene expression changes induced by androgen withdrawal or androgen treatment. Genome-wide transcriptomic analysis of LNCaP cells grown in steroid depleted medium, normal (steroid-containing) medium and R1881 treated cells was performed using the Agilent platform
