Project description:Microarray experiments were carried out to ascertain whether TOP2β is required for DHT induced androgen receptor target gene expression. We investigated the effect of pharmacological inhibition or RNA interference-mediated depletion of TOP2β on gene expression in androgen-dependent LNCaP prostate cancer cells. Analysis of gene expression in LNCaP cells under various conditions including serum starvation, DHT treatment, and DHT treatment combined with TOPO2B pharmacological inhibitors (Merbarone and Etoposide) and TOPO2B-shRNA knockdown.
Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that plays a key role in the onset and progression of prostate cancer. We investigated AR-induced gene expression in prostate cancer cells LNCaP and abl by transfecting siAR / siControl or treating cells with androgen (DHT) over a time course. Experiment Overall Design: We hybridized RNA to Affymetrix human genome U133 plus 2.0 arrays.
