Project description:The global gene expression profiles of adult and fetal murine prostate stem cells were determined to define common and unique regulators whose misexpression might play a role in the development of prostate cancer. A distinctive core of transcriptional regulators common to both fetal and adult primitive prostate cells was identified as well as molecules that are exclusive to each population. Elements common to fetal and adult prostate stem cells include expression profiles of Wnt, Shh and other pathways identified in stem cells of other organs, signatures of the aryl-hydrocarbon receptor, and up-regulation of components of the aldehyde dehydrogenase/retinoic acid receptor axis. There is also a significant lipid metabolism signature, marked by overexpression of lipid metabolizing enzymes and the presence of the binding motif for Srebp1. The fetal stem cell population, characterized by more rapid proliferation and self-renewal, expresses regulators of the cell cycle, such as E2f, Nfy, Tead2 and Ap2, at elevated levels, while adult stem cells show a signature in which TGF-? has a prominent role. Finally, comparison of the signatures of primitive prostate cells with previously described profiles of human prostate tumors identified stem cell molecules and pathways with deregulated expression in prostate tumors including chromatin modifiers and the oncogene, Erg. Our data indicate that adult prostate stem or progenitor cells may acquire characteristics of self-renewing primitive fetal prostate cells during oncogenesis and suggest that aberrant activation of components of prostate stem cell pathways may contribute to the development of prostate tumors. In order to identify molecules and pathways that are active in primitive prostate populations we determined the transcriptional profiles of four populations of cells: (i) fetal urogenital sinus epithelial cells, enriched in fetal prostate stem cells, (ii) Sca-1Hi, cells that express high levels of Sca-1, enriched in adult prostate stem cells, (iii) Sca-1Lo, cells that express medium to low levels of Sca-1 and are enriched in transit-amplifying cells, and (iv) Sca-1Neg, cells with no Sca expression, that represent the most mature population and have almost no in vivo regenerative potential.

Project description:Androgen is critical for the growth of the murine prostate. Castration removes the predominant source of androgen in the mouse, leading to prostatic atrophy and death of epithelial cells. However, studies show that epithelial cells which remain in the castrated prostate are enriched for progenitor activity compared to the intact prostate. We performed gene expression profiling of basal and luminal epithelial cells isolated from paired intact and castrated adult male C57BL/6 mouse prostates to gain insights into the mechanisms promoting survival in castration-resistant epithelial cells.

Project description:The role of Notch signaling in the maintenance and differentiation of adult prostate stem cells remains unclear. We found that Notch ligands are mainly expressed within the basal cell lineage, while active Notch signaling is detected in both the prostate basal and luminal cell lineages. Disrupting the canonical Notch effector RBP-J impairs the differentiation of prostate basal stem cells and increases their proliferation in vitro and in vivo, but does not affect luminal cell biology. Conversely, ectopic Notch activation in adult prostates results in basal cell depletion and luminal cell hyper-proliferation. TGFβ dominates over Notch and overrides Notch ablation-induced proliferation of prostate basal cells. In turn, Notch confers positive feedback by up-regulating a plethora of TGFβ signaling components including TGFβRI. These findings reveal crucial roles of the self-enforced positive reciprocal regulatory loop between TGFβ and Notch in maintaining prostate basal stem cell dormancy. We employed an in vitro prostate sphere assay to further investigate how Notch signaling regulates basal cell proliferation and differentiation. FACS isolated adult murine prostate basal cells (using FVB mice) were cultured in the prostate sphere assay with or without N-[(3,5-Difluorophenyl)acetyl]-L-alanyl-2-phenyl]glycine-1,1-dimethylethyl ester (DAPT), an inhibitor for the γ-Secretase complex. Gene expression profiles were taken of vehicle- and DAPT-treated prostate spheres.

Project description:The prostate basal cell compartment is postulated to contain stem/progenitors due to its resistance to castration, capability to differentiation into basal, luminal and neuroendocrine cell lineages of prostate epithelium, and susceptibility to oncogenic transformation. However, the heterogeneity and the interrelationship among different cell subpopulations within prostate basal cells remain largely unknow. Here we find that the core epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) inducer Zeb is exclusively expressed in a prostate basal cell subpopulation. The Zeb1+ basal cells are resistant against androgen deprivation, possess greater efficiency to produce prostate spheroids in vitro, undergo self-renewal, and can generate functional prostate with all three cell lineages in vivo at the single cell level. Utilizing unbiased single cell transcriptomic analysis of over 9000 mouse prostate basal cells, we find that Zeb1+ basal cell subset shares gene expression profile with both epithelial and mesenchymal cells and stands out uniquely among all the cell clusters. Pseudotemporal reconstruction revealed three cell lineage trajectories through which the Zeb1+ basal cell subset gives rise to differentiated basal cells, and androgen dependent or independent intermediate cells. at the starting point in the developmental trajectories of cell clusters in prostate basal epithelium. In addition, Zeb1 positive basal cells can be detected in human prostate samples. Our data demonstrate that these Zeb1+ cells are bona fide PSCs in the basal cell compartment. Identification of the prostate stem cell (PSC) and its differentiation path is crucial to advance our understanding of prostate development and tumorigenesis.

Project description:Developmental estrogen exposure causes permanent alterations to mouse prostate development. Fetal prostatic mesenchyme cells regulate epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation, and alterations to mesenchymal regulation of prostate epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation may lead to permanent changes in gland structure and function. Our goal was to understand how mesenchymal cells convert estrogen signaling to stimuli that affect epithelial cells. We used microarrays to identify estrogen-induced transcriptomal changes in primary cultures of fetal mouse prostate mesenchymal cells.
