Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a prototypical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) found in combustion processes. Cytochrome P450 1A1 and 1B1 enzymes (CYP1A1, CYP1B1) and other enzymes can activate PAHs to reactive oxygenated intermediates involved in mutagenesis and tumor initiation; also, CYP1 enzymes can detoxify PAHs. Cyp1(+/+) wild-type (WT) and Cyp1b1(-/-) knockout mice receiving oral BaP (12.5 mg/kg/day) remain healthy for >12 months. In contrast, we found that global knockout of the Cyp1a1 gene (1a1KO) results in proximal small intestine (PSI) adenocarcinoma within 8 to 12 weeks on this BaP regimen; striking compensatory increases in PSI CYP1B1 likely participate in initiation of adenocarcinoma in 1a1KO mice. Cyp1a1/1b1(-/-) double-knockout (DKO) mice on this BaP regimen show no PSI adenocarcinoma, but instead preputial gland duct (PGD) squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) occurs by 12 weeks. Herein we compare microarray expression of PGD genes in WT, 1a1KO and DKO mice at zero, 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks of oral BaP; about four dozen genes up- or down-regulated during the most critical time-points were further verified by qRT-PCR. In DKO mice, CYP3A59 was unequivocally identified as the BaP-inducible and BaP-metabolizing best candidate responsible for initiation of BaP-induced SCC. Striking increases or decreases were found in 26 cancer-related genes plus eight Serpin genes in DKO, but not in 1a1KO or WT, mice on this BaP regimen; of the 26, eight were RAS-related oncogenes. The mechanism by which cancer-related genes are responsible for SCC tumor progression in the PGD remains to be elucidated.

Description
G-1 is an agonist to GPR30. Activation of GPR30 by G-1 inhibited prostate cancer cell growth in LNCaP xenografts regrown after catration of the host (nude mice), but not in the androgen-sensitive LNCaP xenograft grown in an intact host. Results provide insights into the molecular basis of G-1 action in castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Description
Bisphenol A is an environmental xenoestrogen commonly known as an endocrine disruptor. We previously reported BPA-treated human primary prostate epithelial cell derived prostaspheres had larger size, exhibited clonogenicity, and showed increase in stem cell marker expression. Results reveal the molecular basis of BPA action in human prostate stem-progenitor cells.

Description
Exposure of humans to bisphenol A (BPA) is widespread and continuous. We previously showed that perinatal exposure to BPA increased prostate cancer risk in adult rats. Yet the effects of protracted, exposure to BPA during adulthood have not been studied. In this study, we subjected Noble rats to 32 weeks of co-treatment with testosterone (T) and BPA (low- or high-dose) or T and 17-estradiol (E2) via Silastic capsule implants. Circulating T levels were comparable in all treatment groups, whereas the levels of free BPA were elevated in the groups that received T+low BPA (1.06 0.05 ng/ml, P<0.05) and T+high BPA (10.37 0.43 ng/ml, P<0.01) when compared with those in controls (0.1 0.05 ng/ml). T+low/high BPA induced prostatic hyperplasia, low-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), and intraepithelial infiltration of T-lymphocytes only in the lateral prostates (LPs), whereas T+E2 induced high-grade PIN in this prostatic lobe. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis identified differential changes in the LPs of T+BPA and T+E2 treatments, with aberrant expression of multiple genes in the regulatory network controlled by the transcription factor hepatic nuclear factor 4 (HNF4) specifically in BPA- but not E2-treated LPs. These findings suggest that the adult rat prostate is susceptible to transcriptomic reprogramming by BPA associated with the development of prostate pathology in a manner distinct from that of E2. The relevance of these data to the previous report demonstrating an association between high urinary levels of BPA and prostate cancer needs to be studied further.

Description
To further understand the differences occurring in MCF10A cells as they polarize and differentiate in the Transwell model, we performed gene expression profiling with Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays. Four experimental time points, were sampled: conventional cultures of MCF10A cells grown on plastic (Monolayer) and MCF10A cells plated on Transwells sampled at three TEER values, 200-300 cm2 (Base), 1400-1600 cm2 (Midpoint), and 3000-3200 cm2 (Plateau).

Description
To study the molecular mediators of naturally rewarding effects of palatable food we used a model of palatable snacking (Ulrich-Lai et al., 2007) in which rats are given chronic, brief access to a limited amount of sucrose solution (30%). Single housed, male Long-Evans rats (250g) (n=12 per group) from Harlan Labs (Indianapolis, IN) received normal rat chow (Harlan Teklad) and water ad libitum for the duration of the experiment. After a one-week period of acclimation, rats were randomly assigned to drink treatment groups of either 30% sucrose solution or water. Rats received a 14-day regimen of twice daily (9:30 and 15:30) brief (maximum of 30 minutes) limited (up to 4 mL) access of their assigned drink solution. Drink solutions were delivered via a graduated sipper placed onto the cage top in addition to the existing water bottle and sippers were immediately removed when the animal had consumed 4mL or after the 30-minute access period, whichever occurred first. Drink intake, food intake, and body weight were monitored throughout the experiment to verify that the rats learned to drink sucrose, that they adjusted chow intake for calories consumed from sucrose (~10%), and that there was no effect on body weight gain as is normally seen with this model (Ulrich-Lai et al., 2007). Drink treatment terminated on day 14 and at 8:00 on the morning of day 15, the rats were sacrificed by rapid decapitation. BLA tissue was dissected, RNA extracted, and gene expression changes between water and sucrose groups were accessed by microarray.

Description
Tumor cells utilize the so-called Warburg effect to allow for rapid proliferation with glucose as the main nutrient. We show here that, although PKCz is critical for that effect, its deficiency promotes the plasticity necessary for nutrient-stressed cancer cells to reprogram their metabolism to utilize glutamine through the serine biosynthetic pathway, empowering them to survive and proliferate in the absence of glucose. We show that PKCz deficiency enhances glutamine utilization and expression of two key enzymes of the pathway, PGHDGH and PSAT1, in cells cultured in the absence of glucose. The loss of PKCz in mice results in enhanced intestinal tumorigenesis and increased levels of these two metabolic enzymes, while patients with low levels of PKCz have a poor prognosis. Taken together, this suggests that PKCz is a critical metabolic tumor suppressor.
