Project description:Acquisition of resistance to the PARP inhibitor, Olaparib, constitutes a major challenge for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. The purpose of this study was to identify molecular targets responsible for the development of acquired Olaparib resistance in advanced prostate cancer. Towards this goal, next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based gene expression profiling (RNA-Sequencing; RNA-Seq) was performed on castration-sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC)/Olaparib-sensitive LNCaP cells, castration-sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC)/Olaparib-resistant LN-OlapR cells, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CSPC)/Olaparib-sensitive C4-2B cells, and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CSPC)/Olaparib-resistant 2B-OlapR cells.
Project description:To identify molecular singnal alterations between androgen dependent prostate cancer and castration resistant prostate cancer, we performed interspecies comparative microarray analyses using RNAs prepared from uncastrasion and castration tumor from LNCAP Orhotopic xenograft models of prostate cancer. microarray data from uncastrasion and castration tumor revealed that the gene expression profile is most significantly altered in between androgen dependent prostate cancer and castration resistant prostate cancer. Comparative analyses of LNCAP Orhotopic xenograft models of prostate cancer showed that genes involved in androgen dependent and androgen independent tumor were significantly altered. We prepared RNA samples from 4 samples uncastrasion and 4 samples castration tumors from LNCAP Orhotopic xenograft models of prostate cancer . High-quality RNA samples were subjected to microarray analysis using the Affymetrix Human Gene 2.0 ST platform, and only those results that passed examinations for quality assurance and quality control of the Human Gene 2.0 ST arrays were retrieved. In total, we obtained gene expression profiles from the following samples: 4 samples uncastrasion and 4 samples castration tumors
Project description:<p>Biopsies of castration resistant prostate cancer metastases were subjected to whole genome sequencing (WGS), along with RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq). The overarching goal of the study is to illuminate molecular mechanisms of acquired resistance to therapeutic agents, and particularly androgen signaling inhibitors, in the treatment of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).</p>

Project description:Purpose: Resistance to androgen deprivation therapies is a major driver of mortality in advanced prostate cancer. Therefore, there is a need to develop new pre-clinical models that allow the investigation of resistance mechanisms and the assessment of drugs for the treatment of castration resistant prostate cancer. Methods: We generated two novel cell line models (LAPC4-CR and VCaP-CR) which were derived by passaging LAPC4 and VCaP cells in vivo and in vitro under castrate conditions. We performed detailed transcriptomic (RNA-seq) to delineate expression differences between castration-sensitive and castration-resistant cell lines. LAPC4-CR and VCaP-CR cell lines maintained AR expression, but exhibited distinct expression changes on the mRNA and protein level. Integrated analyses including data from LNCaP and the previously described castration resistant LNCaP-abl cells revealed an expression signature of castration resistance. Results: Integrated analyses including data from LNCaP and the previously described castration resistant LNCaP-abl cells revealed an expression signature of castration resistance.
Project description:To investigate if there is a difference of N6-methyladenosine(m6A) modification between castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and castration-sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC), we collected 30 specimens, including 15 CRPC and 15 CSPC, to perform RNA-seq and MeRIP-seq. All specimens were postoperative tissues and each 5 CRPC or CSPC specimens were mixed into 1 sample to meet the RNA dosage of RNA-seq and MeRIP-seq.
