Project description:The aim of this study was to identify molecular targets for FGF-8 associated with prostate cancer progression in PC3 prostate cancer cells. PC3 prostate cancer cells were stably transfected with FGF-8b or control vector (mock). Expression of FGF-8 in PC3 cells increased cell growth and MMP-production in vitro. Microarray analyses revealed 169 significantly altered genes (>2.0-fold), some of the which were known to be associated with cancer growth and may represent novel markers of FGF-8 function. Upregulated genes included those involved in angiogenesis or cell growth (DDAH2, CRIP1 and SHC). Genes associated with differentiation or cell death were downregulated (VDR, CYCS). This study demonstrates associated patterns of gene expressions for FGF-8 in prostate cancer. This analysis may help find new prognostic factors or therapeutic targets for prostate cancer.

Project description:We aimed to investigate the transcriptional program associated with pimonidazole staining in prostate cancer. A pimonidazole gene signature was identified that showed positive correlation to Ki67 labeling index, indicating increased proliferation in pimonidazole positive tumors. A positive correlation to clinical tumor stage and presence of lymph node metastasis was also found, consistent with associations between pimonidazole staining and clinico-pathological parameters. Moreover, the gene signature was associated with high Gleason score in a validation cohort of 59 patients and showed prognostic impact independent of Gleason score and other clinical markers in a watchful waiting validation cohort of 281 patients. Our work reveals the molecular basis of an aggressive prostate cancer phenotype reflected by pimonidazole staining, and suggests that genes involved in proliferation, DNA repair and hypoxia response contribute to this phenotype. We combined pimonidazole immunohistochemistry data and expression profiles to identify transcriptional program activated in pimonidazole positive tumors. Whole-genome gene expression profiles were determined in tumor biopsies from an investigation cohort of 46 patients, where 39 patients had received pimonidazole prior to surgery. Gene ontology analysis of 1046 genes upregulated in pimonidazole positive tumors, as defined by a staining fraction above 10%, showed significant enrichment of the biologic processes cell cycle, translation and cellular response to stress. Gene set analysis based on this result identified gene expressions in proliferation, DNA repair and hypoxia response as major parts of the transcriptional program associated with pimonidazole staining. Gene expression data of four prostate cancer cell lines were used to generate hypoxia response gene sets for this analysis. A signature of the 32 most essential genes in the program was constructed and shown to be associated with prostate cancer aggressiveness in two independent validation cohorts.

Project description:The sialomucin Podocalyxin (PODXL) is required for normal tissue development and apicobasal cell polarity by promoting lumen formation. Strikingly, high PODXL expression is also associated with metastasis and poor clinical outcome in multiple tumour types, such as prostate cancer. Utilising prostate cancer cell lines that have the highest RNA levels of PODXL (PC3), we identified subpopulations that do not differ drastically in their overall expression of PODXL but have the stable feature of either high or low surface localisation of PODXL. High surface PODXL promote robust invasion of cells into extracellular matrix. Notably, knockdown of PODXL gave the same effect - reduced invasion - as having PODXL expressed but not being localised to the surface. We performed transcriptional profiling via RNA-sequencing of PC3 cells (PC3 parental, PC3 High surface PODXL and PC3 Low surface PODXL) to uncover possible regulators of PODXL surface expression.

Project description:Metastatic prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death in men. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are involved in tumor progression and metastasis, including in prostate cancer. There is an obvious and urgent need for effective cancer stem cells specific therapies in metastatic prostate cancer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an important class of pervasive genes that are involved in a variety of biological functions, especially in cancer. The goal of this study was to identify miRNAs involved in prostate cancer metastasis and cancer stem cells. Several published reports have demonstrated that non-adherent spheres culture is increasingly used as an effective method to enrich and identify stem cells or putative CSCs.In our previous study, we enriched prostate cancer stem cells from PC-3 sphere cells in serum-free suspension culture and characterized their CSCs properties.Thus, we used spheres as a prostate cancer stem cells model to elucidate its metastatic mechanisms. We examined the miRNA expression profiles of PC-3 sphere cells of prostate cancer compared with PC-3 adherent cells by miRNA microarray.

Project description:The hypoxia response contributes to radio and chemo-resistance in cancer cells. Our previous work has shown that the nitric oxide donating non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NO-NSAID) NO-sulindac is a potent inhibitor of the hypoxia response in prostate cancer cells and leads to increased susceptibilty to radiation. In this study we used microarrays to investigated the global impact of NO-sulindac on the hypoxia response in prostate cancer cells with a view to determining the mechanism of action.

Project description:A comprehensive expression analysis of Wnt signaling genes was performed in a panel of prostate cancer cell lines and tissue specimens using TaqMan low density arrays. The effect of DNA methylation on gene expression was investigated using DNMT inhibitor 5-Aza-CdR. Tissue specimens from a range of disease states were used to represent the stepwise progression of prostate cancer, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), histologically benign epithelium adjacent to tumor (HB), pre-invasive high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) and primary localized tumors categorized into low- and high-grade disease. Fifteen Wnt signaling related genes were idenified with significantly altered expression in prostate cancer; the majority of which were upregulated in tumors. Notably, histologically benign tissue from men with prostate cancer appeared more similar to tumour (r=0.76) than to BPH (r=0.57) (P<0.001). Overall, the expression profile was highly similar between tumors of high (M-bM-^IM-%7) and low (M-bM-^IM-$6) Gleason scores. Pharmacological demethylation of PC-3 cells reactivated 38 genes (M-bM-^IM-%2-fold); 40% of which inhibit Wnt signaling. qPCR gene expression profiling using TLDA Human Wnt Gene set v1.0 microfluidic card (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA).The TLDA consisted of 4 identical 96-gene sets preconfigured in a 384-well format. Three different malignant cell lines were profiled LNCaP, 22Rv1 and PC3 (+/- 5-Aza-2M-bM-^@M-^YDeoxycytidine). One benign cell line was included for comparative puposes: PWR1E. Patient samples were obtained from FFPE tissue sections from men who underwent radical prostatectomy or transrectal resection of the prostate. To overcome the limited amount of RNA obtained from FFPE tissues, RNA samples were pooled. Five different pools were generated: high grade prostate cancer (Gleason score M-bM-^IM-%7), low grade prostate cancer (Gleason score M-bM-^IM-$6), HGPIN, HB and BPH. Each pool consisted of DNase-treated total RNA (100ng), isolated from microdissected tissue from 4 individual cases, selected on the basis of similar histological and clinical features and previous epigenetic characterization in our laboratory. Two Biological replicates for each pool were prepared. The high capacity cDNA Archive Kit (Applied Biosystems) was used to reverse transcribe pooled RNA (400ng). TaqManM-BM-. reactions were performed in duplicate on a 7900HT Sequence Detection System. RQ data from TLDAs were analyzed using Real Time StatMinerM-BM-. v3.1 (Integromics, Granada, Spain).

Project description:Hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF1) has been shown to cooperate with the androgen receptor (AR) in activation of oncogenic pathways in prostate cancer (PCa). Here we hypothesized that HIF1 also plays a role in PCa response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Comparison of gene expression profiles of androgen exposed (AE) and androgen deprived (AD) CWR22 PCa xenografts identified 596 upregulated and 748 downregulated genes after ADT. Gene ontology (GO) analysis of the differentially expressed genes showed significant enrichment of the biological processes cell proliferation, cell cycle and metabolism and suggested suppression of these processes after ADT. A set of 80 hypoxia-inducible genes were identified in 22Rv1 and LNCaP cell lines treated with hypoxia and showed considerable overlap (53%) with the downregulated genes. Immunostaining of the hypoxia marker pimonidazole showed no difference between AE- and AD-tumors. Comparison of the differentially expressed genes with lists of 1115 direct AR- and 276 direct HIF1-target genes identified 138 AR- and 40 HIF1-targets that were regulated after ADT, including six shared AR- and HIF1-targets for which downregulation was confirmed with RT-PCR. Most HIF1-targets were downregulated and included in the significant biological processes and the set of hypoxia-inducible genes. The downregulation of HIF1-targets was consistent with decreased HIF1A immunostaining in AD- compared to AE-tumors (p=0.002). A decrease in HIF1A immunostaining after ADT was also demonstrated in a cohort of 35 PCa patients (p<0.001). These data suggest suppressed HIF1-signaling after ADT and a shared role of HIF1 and AR in the regressive phase of PCa after ADT. Prostate cancer xenografts were subjected to adrogen deprivation therapy and analysed with regard to changes in gene expressions. Cell culture experiments were performed to generate prostate cancer specific gene lists associated with hypoxia.

Project description:We introduce anticancer effect of the far-infrared rays. The growth of three human prostate cancer cells (DU145, PC-3 and LNCaP) was suppressed in vitro only by far-infrared rays. The far-infrared rays induced the gene activation involved in apoptosis that exert positive effects on cancer control. Shima, H. et al. Far-infrared rays control prostate cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Nature Precedings, hdl:10101/npre.12008.11980.10101 (2008). Keywords: cancer control Twelve samples were analyzed. Each sample was cultured quadricate. One replicate per array. The DU145, PC-3 and LNCaP cell lines were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). DU145 cells were maintained in minimum essential medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin G and 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37°C. PC-3 and LNCaP cells were maintained in F-12K medium and RPMI medium with the same supplements, respectively. All three cancer cells were cultured for 21 and 28 days with or without exposure to far-infrared rays. The cells without exposure to far-infrared rays were used as the reference samples (Far-infrared rays-treated vs. non-treated cells). Natural or synthetic rubber/resin (RB) was obtained as far-infrared rays emitter from Yamamoto Corporation (Osaka, Japan). RB consisted of rubber, lime stone and titanium metal powder in a honeycomb structure comprised of micron-sized cells, and had the ability to radiate far-infrared rays (4â25 um). Experimental samples were sandwiched with RBs for 21 and 28 days. Channels 1 were exposed to RB.
