Project description:Genome wide expression changes following 50uM Casodex treatment were investigated to determine regulatory targets commonly overlooked in gene function specific microarrays and for comparison of the effects of the mutant androgen receptor (AR) LNCaP cell line against the wild-type AR expressing PC-346C cells. LNCaP Prostate Cancer cells were treated for a period of 48h with or without 50uM Casodex following a 24h seeding period. At the selected time point, total RNA was harvested from the cells for hybridization and analysis by Nimblgen Systems Inc using the homo sapiens gene expression array.
Project description:C33-A is a Homo sapiens cervix carcinoma cell line. In this experiment we determine the level of gene expression under exponentially growing conditions. The final goal of the experiment is to correlate other epigenetic characteristics from other experiments with gene expression levels.
Project description:We generated and characterized an androgen-independent LNCaP-AI cell line by long-term culture of androgen-dependent LNCaP cells in RPMI-1640 medium containing charcoal-stripped serum. This approach used to generate the line mimics the castration resistant condition for treating prostate cancer, supporting the relevance of the LNCAP-AI cell line to Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human prostate cancer cell line LNCaP treated with Metformin or AICAR compared to control non-stimulated LNCaP.
