ABSTRACT: Expression data from prostate cancer cell lines LNCap (androgen dependent) and DU145 (androgen independent), transfected with Pin1 or control siRNA
Project description:Pin1 inhibiton exerts anti-oncogenic effects on LNCaP and DU145 cells despite the gene regulation patterns by Pin1 were different in both cells. We investigated how Pin1 modulates the gene expressions in the androgen-dependent as well as the androgen-independent prostate cancer cell lines For the knockdown of human Pin1, the siRNAs against Pin1 (Pin1 shRNA-1: 5’-CGGCAACAGCAGCAGUGGUGGCAAA-3’ and Pin1 shRNA-2: 5’-GCCCUGGAGCUGAUCAACGGCUACA-3’) and control siRNA were purchased from Invitrogen (Stealth/siRNA duplex oligoribonucleotides)

Project description:High levels of GLI (GLI1 and GLI2) mRNA and GLI luciferase reporter activity were detected in the androgen independent prostate cancer cell lines DU145 and PC-3 compared to the androgen-dependent LNCaP prostate cancer cell line. Subsequently, we observed that ectopic GLI1 promoted hormone independence in LNCaP cells (LNCaP-GLI1). We compared the gene expression profile of LNCaP-pBP (empty vector), LNCaP-GLI1, DU145, and PC-3 cells globally as well as to identify GLI1-regulated genes that may contribute to hormone independence.
Project description:We measured the effect of docetaxel treatment to three differentially responsive prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP, DU145 and PC-3, based on a transcriptional time course response by microarray analysis. These cell lines represent both androgen independent (DU145 and PC-3) and androgen sensitive (LNCaP) cells

Project description:Galiellalactone (GL) is a fungal metabolite that presents antitumor and anti-inflammatory activities in vitro and in vivo. Previous studies have shown that GL targets NF-KB and STAT3 pathways and induces G2/M cell cycle arrest in androgen-insensitive prostate cancer cells. In this study, we show that GL-induced cell cycle arrest is independent of the NF-KB and STAT3 pathways in DU145 and PC-3 cells, and also that GL did not affect cell cycling in androgen-sensitive prostate cancer cell such as LNCaP and 22Rv1 cells. In addition, we showed confluence resistance to GL in DU145 cells. Using a SWATH proteomic approach we identified the down-regulation of Nucleolar and spindle associated protein 1 (NUSAP1) under DU145 confluence and in LNCaP cells. Also, the inhibition of NUSAP1 by siRNAs induced resistance to GL in DU145 cells, suggesting that NUSAP1 may be a target for GL and could be useful as biomarker for responsiveness of the antitumor activity of GL.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of androgen-sensitive and –refractory prostate cancer cells. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 480.000 CpGs in Prostate cancer cell lines showing different sensitivity to hormonal treatments. Samples included the androgen receptor negative cell lines PC3 and DU145, the androgen sensitive cell line LNCaP and the LNCaP abl cell line expressing androgen receptor but refractory prostate cancer cell line to hormonal treatments.
Project description:We measured the effect of docetaxel treatment to three differentially responsive prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP, DU145 and PC-3, based on a transcriptional time course response by microarray analysis. These cell lines represent both androgen independent (DU145 and PC-3) and androgen sensitive (LNCaP) cells Hybridized arrays were scanned with Agilentâs dual laser-based scanner. Feature Extraction software version 10.5 (Agilent Technologies) was used to link a feature to a design file and to determine the relative fluorescence intensity between two samples. Dye swap strategy with alternate cy3 and cy5 labeling on docetaxel treated and control groups over four time points was used to have technical replicates and decrease dye bias.
Project description:In this study the development of androgen independence in a cell model of disease was selected as a mirror of to the events at play in the development of Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer in-vivo. LNCaP cells which are androgen dependent and androgen independent sublines; LNCaP-Abl and LNCaP-Abl-Hof were subject to extensive fractionation by 1-D SDS PAGE and accurate mass-high resolution mass spectrometry (Q Exactive) to identify proteins whose expression was changes significantly in response to androgen independent growth.
Project description:EZH2 is frequently over-expressed in aggressive and metastatic solid tumors, including castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). We sought to determine EZH2-dependent gene expression programmes in prostate cancer progression, and found an intriguing functional switch of EZH2 from a repressor to an activator during CRPC development. We used microarrays to detail the global profiling of gene expression that are differentially regulated upon EZH2 depletion in two different prostate cancer cell lines. The androgen-dependent prostate cancer cell line LNCaP and the LNCaP-derived androgen-independent cell line LNCaP-abl (abl) were used for this study, as their transcription profiles strongly resemble that of clinical androgen-dependent and castration resistant prostate tumors, respectively. EZH2 was silenced by specific siRNAs in both cell lines, and total RNA was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.
