Project description:We report the gene expression profile of 8 metastatic castration resisistant prostate cancer samples analyzed by paired-end RNA-seq. We found evidence of extensive abnormal splicing as well as several novel fusion genes. Finally, we also observed several recurrent high-confidence somatic mutations.

Project description:Relatively little is known about how changes in gene copy number (CN) and gene CpG methylation interact to affect specific pathways in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Oligonucleotide array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) was performed on DNA isolated from 15 metastatic CRPC samples. Commonly aberrant genes were evaluated in a confirmatory fashion using PCR, aCGH data from primary tumors, and existing CRPC expression data. Array-based comprehensive CpG methylation was assessed on the same sample set. A total of 495 genes (79 gained, 416 deleted) were CN aberrant in ?66% of the samples by aCGH, and 77 (9 amplified, 68 deleted) had statistically concordant expression including gain of AR and loss of PTEN and RB1. Significant CN differences were seen between the genomes of patients with AR-amplified and AR-unamplified tumors, including common loss of AR repressors in AR-unamplified tumors. The majority of CRPC samples were hypermethylated compared to benign prostate tissue. Simultaneous methylation and heterozygous gene deletion occurred in the tumor suppressor RB1 and in HSD17B2, responsible for testosterone metabolism. Establishment of a comprehensive methylation signature and coupling of epigenomic and structural analyses sheds light on the alterations that allow CRPC to circumvent hormonal therapy and may provide new drug targets for what is currently an incurable disease state. 15 tumor samples taken from 14 men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer were analyzed, including two samples from the same patient. No control samples were used for this experiment.

Project description:PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase)/AKT and RAS/MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) pathway coactivation in the prostate epithelium promotes both epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), which is currently incurable. To study the dynamic regulation of the EMT process, we developed novel genetically defined cellular and in vivo model systems from which epithelial, EMT and mesenchymal-like tumor cells with Pten deletion and Kras activation can be isolated. When cultured individually, each population has the capacity to regenerate all three tumor cell populations, indicative of epithelial–mesenchymal plasticity. Despite harboring the same genetic alterations, mesenchymal-like tumor cells are resistant to PI3K and MAPK pathway inhibitors, suggesting that epigenetic mechanisms may regulate the EMT process, as well as dictate the heterogeneous responses of cancer cells to therapy. Among differentially expressed epigenetic regulators, the chromatin remodeling protein HMGA2 is significantly upregulated in EMT and mesenchymal-like tumors cells, as well as in human mCRPC. Knockdown of HMGA2, or suppressing HMGA2 expression with the histone deacetylase inhibitor LBH589, inhibits epithelial–mesenchymal plasticity and stemness activities in vitro and markedly reduces tumor growth and metastasis in vivo through successful targeting of EMT and mesenchymal-like tumor cells. Importantly, LBH589 treatment in combination with castration prevents mCRPC development and significantly prolongs survival following castration by enhancing p53 and androgen receptor acetylation and in turn sensitizing castration-resistant mesenchymal-like tumor cells to androgen deprivation therapy. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that cellular plasticity is regulated epigenetically, and that mesenchymal-like tumor cell populations in mCRPC that are resistant to conventional and targeted therapies can be effectively treated with the epigenetic inhibitor LBH589.

Project description:We compared 22 primary Pca (hormone-dependent) versus 29 metastatic Pca (CRPC). The expression of genes related to cell cycle, proliferation, DNA synthesis, and androgen metablism are significantly increased in CRPC group. The expression of AR-stimulated genes were partially reactivated. TMPRSS2-ERG fusion status was determined for the samples by PCR. The expression of ERG was highly increased in fusion positive versus negative. 120 snap-frozen CT-guided bone marrow biopsies from patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer were collected as a source of material. 29 independent biopsies containing mostly tumor were identified as CRPC group through carefully microscopical examination. 4 samples containing no tumor were identified as normal bone marrow group. Primary tumor was isolated by LCM from frozen biopsies of hormone-naive patients. 22 samples were selected as primary PCa group.

Project description:We analyzed the global gene expression pattern of Tregs between healthy donors and prostate cancer patients. We found that genes related to cell cycle, cellular proliferation, immune responses, hematological system development and function were differentially expressed in Tregs from prostate cancer patients. Total RNA samples of Tregs, isolated from peripheral blood, were obtained from three separate healthy donors and three metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients. Global gene expression pattern was examined by performing GeneChip microarray hybridization. Genes differentially expressed between the two groups of donors were sorted and categorized based on their biological functions.
