The insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-IR) and androgen (AR) receptors are important players in prostate cancer biology. Functional interactions between the IGF-I and androgen signaling pathways seem to have crucial roles in the progression of prostate cancer from early (benign) to advanced (metastatic) stages. DNA methylation is a major epigenetic alteration affecting gene expression. Hypermethylation of tumor suppressor promoters is a frequent event in human cancer, leading to inactivation and repression of specific genes. The aim of the present study was to identify the entire set of methylated genes (methylome) in a cellular model that replicates prostate cancer progression.
Global methylation analysis identifies PITX2 as an upstream regulator of the androgen receptor and IGF-I receptor genes in prostate cancer.

View SamplesThe effect of transient transfection of a construct designed to over-express the androgen receptor (AR) variant AR-V7 on gene expression in MDA-MB-453 cells was assessed using Affymetrix Gene 2.0 ST arrays. Transfection of an AR-expressing construct or an empty construct served as controls.

View SamplesLiquid biopsies have demonstrated that the constitutively active androgen receptor splice variant-7 (AR-V7) associates with reduced response and overall survival (OS) from endocrine therapies in castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, these studies provide little information pertaining to AR-V7 biology and expression in prostate cancer (PC) tissue. Following generation and validation of a novel AR-V7 antibody for immunohistochemistry (IHC); nuclear AR-V7 protein expression was determined for 358 primary prostate samples (358 patients) and 293 metastatic biopsies (194 patients). Associations with disease progression, nuclear AR full length (AR-FL) expression, response to abiraterone and/or enzalutamide, and gene signatures (from three independent cohorts) was determined. Overall design: RNA sequencing of metastases from individuals with castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) using Illumina HiSeq 2500.

View SamplesAlterations in gene expression following fatty acid synthase inhibtion were evaluated in androgen sensitive LNCaP cells and castration resistant 22Rv1 and LNCaP-95 cells. Cell were exposed to 2 concentrations (0.1 and 0.5 uM) of FASN inhibitor IPI-9119 or DMSO for 6 days. Overall design: Differential gene expression anlaysis in 3 prostate cancer cell lines treated with FASN inhibitor IPI-9119

View SamplesThe PI3K/Akt signaling pathway impacts various aspects of CD8 T cell homeostasis, such as effect versus memory cell differentiation, during viral infection. We used microarrays to determine which downstream molecules were affected and what other signaling pathways were interconnected with the Akt pathway by constitutive activation of Akt in LCMV-infected CD8 T cells.
Signal integration by Akt regulates CD8 T cell effector and memory differentiation.

View SamplesTechnical advances have enabled the collection of genome and transcriptome data sets with single-cell resolution. However, single-cell characterization of the epigenome has remained challenging. Furthermore, because cells must be physically separated prior to biochemical processing, conventional single-cell preparatory methods scale linearly. We applied combinatorial cellular indexing to measure chromatin accessibility in thousands of single cells per assay, circumventing the need for compartmentalization of individual cells. We report chromatin accessibility profiles from over 15,000 single cells and use these data to cluster cells on the basis of chromatin accessibility landscapes. We identify modules of coordinately regulated chromatin accessibility at the level of single cells both between and within cell types, with a scalable method that may accelerate progress toward a human cell atlas. Overall design: 3 replicates from GM12878 and HL-60 cell lines collected for differential gene expression analysis.
