Project description:Key histological and growth progression characteristics of human prostate cancer are phenocopied in mouse models that have been subjected to androgen level depletion and engineered for hemizygosity of candidate prostate cancer tumor suppressor genes Nkx3.1 and Pten. To characterize their relative transcriptomes and identify a genomic basis for their relevance to human prostate cancers, we compared mouse prostate tumors expression profiles to those from a panel of human prostate cancer isolates and to normal and benign prostates. Human prostate cancers and mouse prostate tumor models both exhibit the activation of genes associated with growth, cell cycle control, and inhibition of differentiation (CDKN2A, CDKN2B, CDKN2C, CEBPB, CEBPG, CSF1, CTSS, DMBT1, EGFR, PLCG2, PXN, SPP1, TNFSF9), and conversely, diminished expression of genes associated with normal prostate differentiation and function. All tumors also exhibit dysregulated expression of genes associated with inflammation, the disruption of prostate-associated ER stress pathways, as well as with oxidative stress, energy metabolism, cell adhesion, and stress response. Immunoinflammatory and altered cell adhesion process-associated genes exhibited prominent expression in early stage tumors. In contrast, metastatic human prostate cancer samples eliminated the expression of most immunoinflammatory-associated transcripts. Cross-species comparisons of molecular programs that are shared or distinguishing of Nkx3.1; Pten mutant mouse models and human adenocarcinomas clearly delineate core tumorigenesis programs associated with cell cycle activation and loss of differentiation. Compared to locally spreading mouse and human tumors, metastatic prostate cancer exhibits greatly reduced expression of immunoinflammatory and adhesion genes, implying that immuno-inflammatory activation may enable first stages of tumorogenesis, but suppress metastasis. These results provide a novel framework to identify stage-specific biomarkers and candidate targets for combinatorial therapeutics. The complex role of inflammation suggests a need for additional caution in countering metastasis. Keywords: tumor stage 26 Affymetrix MOE430A microarrays

Project description:NKX3.1 is an androgen-regulated, prostate-specific gene located on chromosome 8p21, a region frequently undergoing allelic loss in human prostate cancer. Mice deficient in NKX3.1 show signs of epithelial de-differentiation and develop dysplasia and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) that progresses to overt prostate cancer when combined with deletions of additional tumor suppressors such as PTEN or p27Kip1. Although NKX3.1 displays the typical features of an NK class homeobox transcription factor, mechanisms of NKX3.1-mediated tumor suppression remain insufficiently understood because neither the transcriptional program governed by NKX3.1 nor its interacting proteins have been comprehensively revealed.

Mouse tissue or human cells were snap frozen for subsequent molecular analysis. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Project description:In our investigations of the molecular pathways of prostate tumorigenesis in Nkx3.1; Pten mutant mice using gene expression profiling, we now find that the AP-1 transcription factors, c-Jun and c-Fos, are significantly up-regulated during cancer progression. Forced expression of c-Fos and c-Jun in prostate cancer cells results in increased tumorigenicity, activation of Erk MAP kinase, and enhanced survival in the absence of androgens, which are hallmarks of disease progression. In humans, Jun and Fos proteins are significantly up-regulated during prostate cancer progression and significantly correlated with activation of Erk MAP kinase. Most notably, expression of Jun is associated with disease recurrence independent of other currently used prognostic indicators. These analyses reveal a hitherto unappreciated role for AP-1 transcription factors in prostate cancer progression vis-à -vis Erk MAP kinase signaling, as well as the identification of a novel marker of disease recurrence, namely c-Jun. Experiment Overall Design: Mouse prostate was collected from wild-type or the Nkx3.1; Pten compound mutant mice at the age of 8-16 months. One lobe of dosolateral prostate was snap-frozen in OCT and stored at -80ºC for laser capture microdissection (LCM). To obtain androgen-independent lesions, mice were castrated at 7 to 14 months of age. Mice were sacrificed for analysis at 8 to 16 months of age and one dosolateral prostatic lobe was snap-frozen in OCT and stored at -80ºC for LCM. Approximate 1000 Prostate epithelial cells were isolated from normal prostate, dysplasia, prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) or cancer lesions using PixCell IIE LCM system (Arcturus), followed by RNA linear amplification and labeling using Small Sample Labeling Protocol VII (Affymetrix). Samples were labeled using a BioArray High Yield RNA transcript labeling kit (Enzo Life Scientific) and were hybridized to MOE430A GeneChips containing 22,690 well characterized mouse genes/ESTs (Affymetrix).

Project description:NKX3.1 is an androgen-regulated, prostate-specific gene located on chromosome 8p21, a region frequently undergoing allelic loss in human prostate cancer. Mice deficient in NKX3.1 show signs of epithelial de-differentiation and develop dysplasia and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) that progresses to overt prostate cancer when combined with deletions of additional tumor suppressors such as PTEN or p27Kip1. Although NKX3.1 displays the typical features of an NK class homeobox transcription factor, mechanisms of NKX3.1-mediated tumor suppression remain insufficiently understood because neither the transcriptional program governed by NKX3.1 nor its interacting proteins have been comprehensively revealed. Adenoviruses were created that constitutively express either GFP alone, or GFP and NKX3.1 (Ad-GFP and Ad-GFP-NKX3.1 viruses, respectively). PrEC LH cells were infected with these viruses and were harvested at 7h and 10h after infection. Using affinity purification and tandem mass spectrometry, we have established an extensive NKX3.1 interactome. In particular, we found that the transcription factor forms stable complexes with the DNA repair proteins Ku70, Ku80, and PARP, interactions that provide a molecular underpinning to previous reports implicating NKX3.1 in DNA repair. Transcriptomic profiling of immortalized human prostate epithelial cells acutely expressing NKX3.1 revealed a rapid and complex response that is a near mirror image of the gene expression signature of human PIN devoid of NKX3.1. Pathway and network analyses suggested that NKX3.1 actuates a fundamental cellular reprogramming toward luminal cell differentiation characterized by suppression of pro-oncogenic c-Myc and interferon-STAT signaling and activation of tumor suppressor pathways.

Project description:Chromosomal translocations or upregulations involving ETS transcription factor are frequent events in prostate cancer pathogenesis and significantly co-occurrence with p53 or PTEN loss. Caused by the low stabilities of ETS proteins in cytosol, mouse models with aberrant expression of wild type ETS transcription factors had subtle phenotypes and only drive prostate cancer progression in the setting of Pten loss. Here we show that prostate specific aberrant expression of mutated ETV4 (V70P71D72-AAA, ETV4-AAA), which is resistence to COP1 mediated protein degradation, results in more stabilized ETV4 protein in mouse prostate. We found that ETV4-AAA mice develop marked prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (mPin) and p53-dependent cell senescence within 2 weeks, but without tumor development when aged. Interestingly, ETV4-AAA positive cells reduce dramatically in a PTEN loss background, which means that there is no cooperation between ETV4-AAA and PTEN loss. Aberrant ETV4-AAA expression promotes progression of mPin to prostatic adenocarcinoma in a Tp53 deficiency or haploinsufficiency background. In contrast to PTEN loss induced mouse prostate cancers which loss NKX3.1 expression and resistant to castration therapy, these ETV4-AAA tumor cells well maintain AR and NKX3.1 expression and are sensitive to castration therapy.
