Project description:Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a group of cells detached from primary cancer and poured into blood. Compared with local cancer cells, CTCs display more invasive ability to colonize distant organs. During the process of releasing CTCs, not only morphogical changes in cancer cells, up/down regulation of some critical molecules may contribute to its potential to spread to other locations.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Cancer stem-like cells are proposed to sustain solid tumors by virtue of their capacity for self-renewal and differentiation to cells that comprise the bulk of the tumor, and have been identified for a variety of cancers based on characteristic clonal morphologies and patterns of marker gene expression. METHODS: Single cell cloning and spheroid culture studies were used to identify a population of cancer stem-like cells in the androgen-independent human prostate cancer cell line PC3. RESULTS: We demonstrate that, under standard culture conditions, ~10% of PC3 cells form holoclones with cancer stem cell characteristics. These holoclones display high self-renewal capability in spheroid formation assays under low attachment and serum-free culture conditions, retain their holoclone morphology when passaged at high cell density, exhibit moderate drug resistance, and show high tumorigenicity in scid immunodeficient mice. PC3 holoclones readily form spheres, and PC3-derived spheres yield a high percentage of holoclones, further supporting their cancer stem cell-like nature. We identified one gene, FAM65B, whose expression is consistently up regulated in PC3 holoclones compared to paraclones, the major cell morphology in the parental PC3 cell population, and two genes, MFI2 and LEF1, that are consistently down regulated. This molecular profile, FAM65Bhigh/MFI2low/LEF1low, also characterizes spheres generated from parental PC3 cells. The PC3 holoclones did not show significant enriched expression of the putative prostate cancer stem cell markers CD44 and integrin α2β1. PC3 tumors seeded with holoclones showed dramatic down regulation of FAM65B and dramatic up regulation of MFI2 and LEF1, and unexpectedly, a marked increase in tumor vascularity compared to parental PC3 tumors, suggesting a role of cancer stem cells in tumor angiogenesis. CONCLUSIONS: These findings support the proposal that PC3 tumors are sustained by a small number of tumor-initiating cells with stem-like characteristics, including strong self-renewal and pro-angiogenic capability and marked by the expression pattern FAM65Bhigh/MFI2low/LEF1low. These markers may serve as targets for therapies designed to eliminate cancer stem cell populations associated with aggressive, androgen-independent prostate tumors such as PC3.

Four PC3 cell-derived holoclones, selected based on their clear and unambiguous holoclone morphology and designated holoclones 2H10, 2G7, 1A8 and 5A2, were used for global transcriptome/microarray analysis in direct comparison to parental PC3 cells. Total RNA was prepared from each of four sequential cell passages for each PC3-derived holoclone, and from four passages of parental PC3 cells, 48 h after seeding the cells at 100,000 cells per well of a 6-well plate. For each sample (holoclones or parental PC3 cells), a pool of RNA was prepared by combining equal amounts of RNA from each passage to minimize the effects of passage number and inter-sample variability on gene expression profiles. All RNAs had an RNA integrity number >8.0, determined using an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 instrument. cDNAs transcribed from pools of RNA for each holoclone, and for parental PC3 cells, were labeled with Alexa 647 or Alexa 555 dyes in a fluorescent reverse pair (dye swap) design for competitive hybridization to Agilent Whole Human Genome Microarrays.

Project description:We found that PC3 cells secrete proteases that cleavae and activate PAR1 and PAR2. In order to understand gene regulation by this autocrine signaling loop, PAR1 and PAR2 knockout cell gene expression was compared to WT PC3 cell gene expression. Proteinase activated receptors (PARs) are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) activated by limited N-terminal proteolysis. A variety of proteolytic enzymes derived from the coagulation cascade and inflammatory milieu activate PARs, however specific activators in different physiological and pathophysiological contexts remain poorly defined. PARs are highly expressed in many cancer cells and regulate various aspects of tumor growth and metastasis. Endogenous proteinases that regulate PARs in the setting of various tumors however remains unresolved. Prostate cancer (PCa) remains a major cause of mortality in men despite advances in early detection and clinical intervention. PAR expression has been reported in PCa, however, their role here remains poorly defined. In androgen independent PC3 cells, we find functional expression of PAR1 and PAR2 but not PAR4. Using genetically encoded PAR cleavage biosensors, we find that PCa cells secrete proteolytic enzymes that cleave PARs and trigger autocrine signaling. Deletion of PAR1 and PAR2 using CRISPR/Cas9 combined with microarray analysis revealed genes that are differentially regulated by this autocrine signalling mechanism. Interestingly, several genes that are known PCa prognostic factors or biomarker were differentially expressed in PAR1-KO and PAR2-KO PC3 cells. We also examined PAR1 and PAR2 regulation of PCa cell proliferation and migration using PAR1 and PAR2-KO PC3 cells, as well as PAR1 and PAR2 specific agonists and antagonists. We find that PAR1 and PAR2 have opposite effects on PC3 cell proliferation and migration. In summary, we have identified an autocrine signaling mechanism through PARs as a regulator of PCa cell function.

Project description:In order to address the putative role of MELK and UBE2C in prostate cancer development and progression, we performed functional analysis upon siRNA-based knockdown, and searched for downstream genes and processes by microarray experiments. RNAi-based inhibition of MELK and UBE2C was efficient in PC3 prostate cancer cells and decreased transcriptional level down to about 30% remaining expression level. Illumina microarray experiments were done upon siRNA based knockdown 48h after transfection of PC3 cells in triplicates.
