ABSTRACT: FOXA1 is a transcription factor which aids AR function in prostate. There is controversary over the effect of high FOXA1 level has on prostate cancer so we forced the overexpression in the LNCaP prostate cancer cell line. LNCaP prostate cancer cell line was transfected with GFP control plasmid or plasmid containing FOXA1 full length cDNA. The effect on gene expression was assessed by microarray.
Project description:We performed androgen receptor (AR) ChIP-seq after GFP control or FOXA1 over-expression in two AR driven cancer models; LNCaP prostate cancer cell line and MDA-MB-453 molecular apocrine breast cancer cell line.
Project description:FoxA1 has been shown critical for prostate development and prostate-specific gene expression regulation. In addition to its well-established role as an AR pioneering factor,several studies have recently revealed significant AR binding events in prostate cancer cells with FoxA1 knockdown. Furthermore, the role of FoxA1 itself in prostate cancer has not been carefully examined. Thus, it is important to understand the role of FoxA1 in prostate cancer and how it interacts with AR signaling. To address these questions, we generated engineered LNCaP cells with FoxA1 knockdown using shRNA or siRNA, 22RV1 cells with stable FoxA1 knockdown and PC3M cells with FoxA1 stable overexpression. We performed microarray analysis of these cells. We performed microarray analysis on LNCaP cells with FoxA1 knockdown using shRNA or siRNA, 22RV1 cells with stable FoxA1 knockdown and PC3M cells with FoxA1 stable overexpression
Project description:CTCF, H2AFZ and FOXA1 genomic recruitment sites were determined using ChIP-chip while MeDIP-chip was used to monitor DNA methylation levels. Amplified and labeled DNA was hybridized to Affymetrix tiling arrays covering human chromosomes 8, 11 and 12. Cells used in this study are: MCF7 breast cancer cells, LNCaP prostate cancer cells, MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells stably transfected with a FOXA1 expression vector (MDA231-FOXA1) or the empty control plasmid (MDA231-CTRL). H3K4me2 genomic distribution was determined using ChIP-chip. Amplified and labeled DNA was hybridized to Affymetrix tiling arrays covering human chromosomes 8, 11 and 12.

Project description:We report the dual role of FoxA1 in androgen receptor recruitment to the chromatin of androgen responsive prostate cancer cell line LNCaP-1F5 using ChIP-sequencing. Depletion of FoxA1 reprograms both androgen and glucocorticoid receptor recruitment and subsequent gene expression. The ChIP-seq has been performed using AR, FoxA1, GR, H3K4me2 antibodies. We have also mapped the DNaseI-hypersensitive sites (DHS) using deep sequencing. Examination of AR, FoxA1, GR, H3K4me2 binding sites and DHS sites in parental and FoxA1 depleted LNCaP-1F5 cells.
