Effects of PSF and CTBP1-AS knockdown in prostate cancer cell lines

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and Androgen receptor (AR) downstream signalings promote prostate cancer cell proliferation. We identified androgen-regulated long non-coding RNA, CTBP1-AS, located in the antisese region of CTBP1 gene. CTBP1-AS activate AR signaling by epigenetically repress AR-associated cofactors such as CTBP1 by interactign with RNA-binding protein PSF and recruiting HDAC complex to the target promoters.
