Project description:Numerous studies have identified certain components of soybean as having anticancer properties. Lunasin, a unique 43-amino acid soybean peptide, has been shown to suppress carcinogenesis in mammalian cells and mouse models. It has been hypothesized that lunasin modulates changes in chromatin organization by modifying histone tails, thereby, resulting in the expression of chemopreventive genes. In this report, microarray analysis was used to reveal a novel property of lunasin – its ability to up-regulate tumor suppressor and other chemopreventive genes in prostate epithelial cells. The effects of exogenous lunasin on the comprehensive gene expression profiles revealed that a total of 123 genes had a greater than twofold change in expression in the lunasin-treated cells as compared to the mock-treated cells. Of these genes, 121 genes were up-regulated in normal RWPE-1 cells and only two genes were up-regulated in malignant RWPE-2 epithelial cells. The genes up-regulated in RWPE-1 cells include those involved in tumor suppression, apoptosis, and the control of cell division. The results shed new light on lunasin’s previously observed chemopreventive properties. We propose that lunasin prevents cancer in vitro and in small animal models by up-regulating the expression of genes that prevent the onset of the disease.

In each cell line, one of the samples was treated with lunasin at 2 microM for 24 hr.

Project description:Epidemiological data indicate that consumption of soy-based food significantly reduces the cancer risk in human through interaction with estrogen receptors and the ‘phytoestrogen’ genistein present in the soy is responsible for this chemopreventive activity. The epigenome regulatory effect of genistein also reported but the key mechanism behind this effect remain elusive. In this current project, we reported the epigenome modulation effect of genistein using MDA-MB231 cells. Cells were treated with low-dose genistein for >1 month and the stable epigenetic alterations were analyzed by partial MNase digestion and TMT-based quantitative proteomics based chromatome mapping approach. We identified a total of 3177 chromatin-bound proteins with high confidence, including 882 proteins that displayed altered binding topology after cell conditioning with genistein. Prolonged phytochemical exposure permanently modified the binding topology of the key epigenetic regulators and preserved their binding topology in untreated progeny. Genistein induced altered epigenome modulation negatively regulates the expression of cell proliferation genes and suppress cell growth. In contrast, previously exposed cells displayed reduced expression of DNA repair genes and enhanced genotoxic stress upon genistein withdrawal.

Project description:Prior studies support the notion that the experimental chemopreventive agent, genistein, inhibits prostate cancer (PCa) cell movement in humans and that this in turn inhibits metastatic spread, thereby preventing PCa-specific death. As many effects have been ascribed to genistein, it has been considered a non-specific agent. However, its effects are concentration-dependent, and the vast majority of studies use concentrations greater than 3 logs above those associated with dietary consumption. Genistein is found in soy, and individuals consuming soy-based diets have blood concentrations of free genistein in the low nanomalar range. Using dosing guided by phase I pharmacokinetic studies in US men, prospective treatment of men on a phase II trial with genistein for one month prior to radical prostatectomy for localized PCa. Here we conducted an unbiased screening for effects of genistein in prostate as well as evaluate changes between normal and cancer cells.

Project description:Mast cells (MCs) are important cellular components of the tumor microenvironment and are significantly associated with poor patient outcomes in prostate cancer and other solid cancers. The promotion of tumor progression partly involves heterotypic interactions between MCs and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) which combine to potentiate a pro-tumor extracellular matrix and promote epithelial cell invasion and migration. Thus far, the interactions between MCs and CAFs remains poorly understood. To identify molecular changes that may alter resident MC function in the prostate tumor microenvironment, we profiled the transcriptome of human prostate MCs, isolated from patient-matched non-tumor and tumor-associated regions of fresh radical prostatectomy tissue. Transcriptomic profiling revealed a distinct gene expression profile of MCs isolated from prostate tumor regions, including the downregulation of SAMD14, a putative tumor suppressor gene. Proteomic profiling revealed overexpression of SAMD14 in HMC-1 MCs altered the secretion of proteins associated with immune regulation and extracellular matrix processes. To assess MC biological function within a model of the prostate tumor microenvironment, HMC-1-SAMD14+ conditioned media was added to co-cultures of primary prostatic CAFs and prostate epithelium. HMC-1-SAMD14+ secretions were shown to reduce the deposition and alignment of matrix produced by CAFs and suppress pro-tumorigenic prostate epithelial morphology. Overall, our data presents the first profile of human MCs derived from patient prostate cancer specimens and identifies MC-derived SAMD14 as an important mediator of MC phenotype and function within the prostate tumor microenvironment.

Project description:The proto-oncogenes ETV1, ETV4, and ETV5 encode members of the E26 transformation-specific (ETS) transcription factor family, which includes the most frequently rearranged and overexpressed genes in prostate cancer. Despite being critical regulators of development, little is known about their post-translational regulation. Here we identify the ubiquitin ligase COnstitutive Photomorphogenic-1 (COP1, also called RFWD2) as a tumor suppressor that negatively regulates ETV1, ETV4, and ETV5. ETV1, which is the member mutated more frequently in prostate cancer, was degraded after being ubiquitinated by COP1. Truncated ETV1 encoded by prostate cancer translocation TMPRSS2:ETV1 lacks the critical COP1 binding motifs (degrons) and was 50-fold more stable than wild-type ETV1. Almost all patient translocations eliminate these ETV1 degrons, implying that translocations rendering ETV1 insensitive to COP1 confer a significant selective advantage to prostate epithelial cells. Indeed, COP1 deficiency in mouse prostate elevated ETV1 levels and produced increased cell proliferation, hyperplasia, and early prostate intraepithelial neoplasia. The combined loss of COP1 and PTEN enhanced the invasiveness of mouse prostate adenocarcinomas. Finally, relatively rare human prostate cancer samples showed hemizygous loss of the COP1 gene, loss of COP1 protein expression, and abnormally elevated ETV1 protein while lacking a translocation event. These findings identify COP1 as a bona fide tumor suppressor whose down-regulation promotes prostatic epithelial cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. LNCap prostate cancer cell line were treated with 5 different sets of siRNAs: (1) control siRNA; (2) COP1 (RFWD2) siRNA; (3) COP1 siRNA + ETV1 siRNA; (4) COP1 siRNA + c-JUN siRNA; (5) COP1 siRNA + ETV1 siRNA + c-JUN siRNA. The experiments were conducted in two batches; each batch has its own control siRNA group, so that the batch effect can be properly modelled. Each group has 4-6 replicates; there are 31 samples in total.

Project description:Deregulated expression of ETS transcription factors with oncogenic and tumor suppressor function occurs frequently in prostate cancer leading to profound alterations of the cancer transcriptome. By integrating genomic and functional studies we identified key targets of the aberrantly expressed ETS factors, ERG and ESE3. Altered expression of ETS factors led to the induction of the polycomb group protein EZH2 and silencing of the tumor suppressor Nkx3.1. Nkx3.1 was controlled by ERG and ESE3 both directly via binding to ETS binding sites in the gene promoter and indirectly via EZH2-induced histone H3K27 methylation. This may represent a general mechanism linking aberrantly expressed ETS with deregulation of epigenetic pathways and global reprogramming of the prostate epithelial cell transcriptome in prostate tumorigenesis. Keywords: prostate cancer, gene expression profiling, ETS genes In this study we show that deregulated expression of ETS factors with opposite functions is highly frequent in prostate cancer. Our study uncovers a previously unrecognized link between aberrant expression of ETS factors, deregulation of epigenetic pathways and silencing of tumor suppressor genes in prostate cancer and shows that partially distinct transcriptional programs are associated with different ETS gene expression patterns. The presence of distinct prostate cancer subgroups with different biological features may have important clinical implications and suggests that assessment of ETS expression levels might be useful to distinguish tumors with different clinical outcome.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs that can function as tumor suppressor genes. We previously reported that miR-1 is among the most consistently down-regulated miRs in primary human prostate tumors. In this follow-up study, we further corroborated this finding in an independent dataset and made the novel observation that miR-1 expression is further reduced in distant metastasis and is a predictor of disease recurrence. Moreover, we performed in vitro experiments to explore the candidate tumor suppressor function of miR-1. Cell-based assays showed that miR-1 is epigenetically silenced in human prostate cancer cells. Overexpression of miR-1 in these cells led to growth inhibition and down-regulation of genes in pathways regulating cell cycle progression, mitosis, DNA replication/repair, and actin dynamics. This observation was further corroborated with protein expression analysis and 3’-UTR-based reporter assays, indicating that genes in these pathways are either direct or indirect targets of miR-1. A gene set enrichment analysis revealed that miR-1-mediated tumor suppressor effects are globally similar to those of histone deacetylase inhibitors. Lastly, we obtained preliminary evidence that miR-1 alters gH2A.X marker expression and affects the cellular organization of F-actin and filipodia formation. In conclusion, our findings indicate that miR-1 acts as a tumor suppressor in prostate cancer by influencing multiple cancer-related processes and by inhibiting cell proliferation and motility. In this study we monitored global miRNA expression changes in prostate cancer LNCaP cells treated with the epigenetic compounds 5-Azacytidine (5-AzaC) and/or trichostatin A (TSA). Cells were treated with epigenetic drugs for 36 hours and total RNA was isolated for hybridization to miRNA microarrays. 5 independent experiments were performed (n=4 for combined treatment). The candidate prostate tumor suppressor miRNAs, miR-1, miR-206, and miR-27 were up-regulated in LNCaP cells for Affymetrix microarray analysis. LNCaP cells were transfected with pre-miR oligos and 24 hr post-transfection total RNA was collected for microarray analysis; total of three independent experiments.

Project description:RNA expression of a gene is determined by not only transcriptional regulation, but also post-transcriptional regulation of RNA decay. The precise regulation of RNA stability in the cell plays an important role in normal development. Dysregulation of RNA stability can lead to diseases such as cancer. Here we found tumor suppressor RNAs tended to decay fast in normal cell types when compared with other RNAs. Consistent with a negative effect of m6A modification on RNA stability, we observed preferential deposition of m6A on tumor suppressor RNAs. Moreover, abundant m6A and fast decay of tumor suppressor RNAs both tended to be further enhanced in prostate cancer cells relative to normal prostate epithelial cells. Further, knockdown of m6A methyltransferase METTL3 and reader YTHDF2 in prostate cancer cells both posed stronger effect on tumor suppressor RNAs than on other RNAs. These results indicated a strong post transcriptional expression regulatability mediated by abundant m6A modification on tumor suppressor RNAs.
