Project description:Gene expression of 5 prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP, VCaP, DU-145, PC-3, DuCaP) in standard culture conditions, harvested during exponential growth phase.
Project description:MiRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of specific mRNA targets mainly by translational repression, mRNA deadenylation or cleavage. This series is meant to identify miRNAs deregulated in prostate cancer (PCa) by comparing the PCa cell lines LNCaP, PC3 and Du-145 to the normal prostate epithelial cell line RWPE-1. We analyzed three arrays each for LNCaP, PC3, Du-145 and RWPE-1 cell lines
Project description:Cultures of DU-145 cells and of LNCaP cells were treated for 216 hours with 100µM zebularine (SIGMA) in three independent biological experiments. Zebularine acts as a DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor thereby upregulating genes that are inactivated by e.g. promotor hypermethylation. The experiment aimed to search for upregulated transcripts to provide new targets for biomarker development and therapeutic use. Total RNA of untreated and treated (100µM zebularine) DU-145 cells (experiment HK_21_DU_145-HK_26_DU_145), and of untreated and treated (100µM zebularine) LNCaP cells (experiment HK_27_LNCaP-HK_32_LNCaP), were subjected to Affymetrix array analysis to detail the overall expression changes after treatment with a DNMT inhibitor. Treated cells showed no obvious signs of zebularine-induced cytotoxicity as revealed by XTT assays.
Project description:Withaferin A (WA), a major chemical component of an Indian herb Withania somnifera, induces cell death (apoptosis/necrosis) in a variety of tumor cells, but its molecular mechanism remains elusive. We report that WA induces cell death selectively in high-grade prostate (PC-3 and DU-145) and tongue (SAS) cancer cells but not in normal human fibroblast (TIG-1) and low-grade prostate cancer (LNCaP) cells. To identify genes whose expression levels were up- or down-regulated in prostate cancer cells following WA treatment, we examined the transcriptome profiles of mRNA prepared from TIG-1, LNCaP, PC-3 and DU-145 cells using Agilent’s Whole Human Genome Microarray.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE17315: mRNA expression upon reconstitution of miR-130a, miR-203 and miR-205 in prostate cancer cell line LNCaP GSE17317: miRNA expression in LNCaP, PC3, Du-145 and RWPE-1 cell lines GSE22979: Profiling of direct mRNA targets of miR-130a, miR-203 and miR-205 in prostate cancer cell line LNCaP Refer to individual Series
Project description:DNA-methylation targets specific for urothelial cancer (UC) were identified by genome-wide methylation difference analysis of human urothelial (RT4, J82, 5637), prostate (LNCAP, DU-145, PC3) and renal (RCC-KP, CAKI-2, CAL-54) cancer cell lines with their respective primary epithelial cells
Project description:Transcriptional silencing associated with aberrant promoter hypermethylation is a common mechanism of inactivation of tumor suppressor genes in cancer cells. To profile the genes silenced by hypermethylation in prostate cancer, we screened an expression microarray for genes reactivated in the LNCaP, DU-145, PC-3 and MDA2b prostate tumor cell lines after treatment with the demethylating drug 5-aza-2 deoxycytidine (5Aza-dC) and histone deacetylation inhibiting drug trichostatin A (TSA).
