Over-Expression of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) Enhances Src Kinase Activity to Functionally Induce AR Signaling and Promote Prostate Cancer ProgressionGhotbaddini, Maryam 21 May 2018 (has links)
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) has been reported to interact with multiple signaling pathways during prostate development including the androgen receptor. AhR was overexpressed in LNCaP using PLNCX2 retrovirus vector containing AhR cDNA to determine if ectopic overexpression induces castrate resistant phenotype. The highly overexpressed AhR clone illustrated further increase in transcriptional and promotor activity for AhR and AR compared to the moderately overexpressed AhR clone and control. Western blot analysis showed more AhR, AR, cSrc, and pSrc protein expression in clones. AhR overexpression was found to induce several biological properties such as migration, invasion, proliferation, and promotion of G1 to S phase during the cell cycle. Bicalutamide treatment had no effect on AR transcriptional activity in either clone, proving resistance to anti-androgen therapy. Our results confirm that overexpression of AhR induces constitutive activity and stimulates androgen receptor signaling. This suggests a role for AhR in the development of CRPC.

Estudo da correlação entre a expressão de genes reguladores do estado de hipóxia e a intensidade da resposta inflamatória aguda. / Study the function of genes regulating the hypoxia state in determining the intensity inflammatory response.Siqueira, Débora Mathias de 14 April 2009 (has links)
A hipóxia ocorre quando a demanda de oxigênio molecular necessário para gerar ATP é insuficiente. Os genes ativados por hipóxia compreendem o gene Hif-1a (Hipóxia-fator induzível 1a), Vegf-a (fator de crescimento endotelial vascular a), Arnt e Vhl (von Hippel-Lindau). Neste estudo foram utilizadas linhagens de camundongos geneticamente selecionados para alta (AIRmax) ou baixa (AIRmin) resposta inflamatória aguda (AIR). Foram realizados testes biológicos para caracterizar as reações inflamatórias produzidas por Biogel e TPA, bem como o tipo PAH cancerígeno. Testamos a expressão de mRNA de genes de hipóxia e caracterização de polimorfismo da região codificadora do Hif-1a no cromossomo 12. Camundongos AIRmax demonstraram uma maior reação inflamatória que os AIRmin para biogel e TPA enquanto o inverso foi observado com o DMBA. Os conjuntos de dados de fenótipos, expressão gênica e polimorfismo candidatam a região do cromossomo 12, que contém, entre outros, o gene Hif-1a, como participante da regulação da AIR. / Hypoxia occurs when the demand for molecular oxygen necessary to generate ATP is insufficient. Genes activated by hypoxia comprise the Hif-1a gene (Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1a), Vegf-a (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor a), Arnt and Vhl (von Hippel-Lindau). In this study we used lines of mice genetically selected for high (AIRmax) or low (AIRmin) acute inflammatory response (AIR). We conducted biological tests to characterize the inflammatory reactions produced by Biogel and TPA, and the type PAH carcinogen. We tested the mRNA expression of genes of hypoxia and characterization of polymorphism of the coding region of Hif-1a gene on chromosome 12. We found that the mice AIRmax had greater intensity of the inflammatory reaction that AIRmin to biogel and TPA while the reverse was observed with the DMBA. The data sets of phenotypes, gene expression and polymorphism applying the region of chromosome 12 that contains, among others, the gene Hif-1a, as part of the regulation of AIR.
