Project description:To globally address the function of a novel ncRNA PCARNEQ located in chromosome 8q24, microarray analysis was performed on RNA isolated from prostate cancer cell line LNCaP cells treated with siRNA to PCARNEQ and the control siRNA to EGFP (siEGFP).
Project description:SChLAP1 is a novel long non-coding RNA expressed in prostate cancer. Here we performed transcriptional profiling of the prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP and 22Rv1 comparing non-targeting siRNA treatment versus SChLAP1-siRNA treatment. Goal was to determine the effect of SChLAP1 knockdown on gene expression in prostate cancer. Two-condition experiment: non-targeting siRNA versus SChLAP1 siRNA treated cells. Biological replicates: 1 control replicate, 2 treatment replicates. Technical replicates: 3 replicates per SChLAP1 siRNA. Cell lines: 22Rv1 and LNCaP.
Project description:To globally address the function of a novel ncRNA PCARNEQ located in chromosome 8q24, microarray analysis was performed on RNA isolated from prostate cancer cell line LNCaP cells treated with siRNA to PCARNEQ and the control siRNA to EGFP (siEGFP). LNCaP cells were treated with siRNA to PCARNEQ or the control siRNA to EGFP and total RNA from each experiment was analyzed in triplicate by microarray.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of prostate tumor cells comparing cells that have CHD1 knockdown by shRNA (RWPE-1, OPCN2) or siRNA (LNCaP) with cells treated with non-targeted control.
Project description:Here we performed transcriptional profiling of the prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP and 22Rv1 comparing non-targeting siRNA treatment versus siRNAs targeting SWI/SNF complex proteins (SMARCA2, SMARCA4, and SMARCB1). Goal was to determine the effect of SWI/SNF knockdown on gene expression in prostate cancer. Two-condition experiment: non-targeting siRNA versus SWI/SNF-siRNA treated cells. Three SWI/SNF proteins were targeted: SMARCA2, SMARCA4, and SMARB1. Biological replicates: 1 control replicate, 2 treatment replicates per SWI/SNF protein. Technical replicates: 1 replicate per SWI/SNF protein. Cell lines: 22Rv1 and LNCaP.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of LNCaP prostate cancer cells comparing control siRNA-treated LNCaP cells with LNCaP cells treated with siRNAs targeting Prostate Cancer Associated Transcript-1 (PCAT1), an uncharacterized long non-coding RNA. High-throughput sequencing of polyA+ RNA (RNA-Seq) in human cancer shows remarkable potential to identify both novel disease-specific markers for clinical uses and uncharacterized aspects of tumor biology, particularly non-coding RNA (ncRNA) species. To illustrate this approach, we employed RNA-Seq on a cohort of 102 prostate tissues and cells lines and found that aberrant expression profiles of novel tissue-specific ncRNAs distinguished benign, cancerous, and metastatic tumors. Among these, a novel prostate-cancer specific ncRNA (termed PCAT-1) defined a subset of aggressive cancers with low expression of the epigenetic regulator EZH2, a component of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) commonly upregulated in metastatic cancers. In vitro assays for core PRC2 genes indicated that the PRC2 complex directly binds and represses PCAT-1, and that the PCAT-1 transcript reciprocally binds PRC2, suggesting a regulatory feedback mechanism. Importantly, knockdown of PCAT-1 in cells with high levels of endogenous PCAT-1 transcript showed changes in cell proliferation and transcriptional regulation of several key biological processes, including cell cycle. Finally, we showed that ncRNA expression signatures, including PCAT-1, were effective for the non-invasive detection of prostate cancer, and that high ncRNA expression signature values correlate with high-grade histology. The findings presented herein establish the utility of RNA-Seq to comprehensively identify unannotated ncRNAs that define human disease states and characterize PCAT-1 as a novel regulator of cell proliferation mechanistically linked to PRC2 and contributory to translational clinical tests for prostate cancer. Two-condition experiment: Control-siRNA-treated versus PCAT1-siRNA-treated LNCaP cells. Biological replicates: 3 control replicates, 3 treatment replicates.
