Detection of differentially expressed genes in prostate cancer by combining suppression subtractive hybridization and cDNA library array

Detection of differentially expressed genes in prostate cancer by combining suppression... The molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of prostate cancer have remained poorly understood. The identification of differentially expressed genes has been used as a tool to recognize genes that are involved in disease processes. In this study we combined suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and cDNA array hybridization to identify genes whose expression is decreased in prostate cancer. cDNA from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) was subtracted with cDNA from the prostate cancer cell line PC‐3 and 386 of the subtracted clones were arrayed onto a nylon filter membrane. The differential gene expression was then verified by hybridizing the filter with radioactively labelled first‐strand cDNA preparations from BPH, PC‐3, four other cancer cell lines, and a normal prostate epithelial cell line (PrEC). In order to validate SSH and cDNA array hybridization, the enrichment of clones in the subtraction, as well as the sensitivity and linearity of array hybridization, was first evaluated. The array hydridization results were confirmed by northern analysis and selected clones were sequenced. Altogether, several known genes, such as prostate‐specific antigen (PSA), human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2), phosphatidic acid phosphatase type 2a (PAP2a), α‐tropomyosin, and insulin‐like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP‐7), as well as an anonymous transcript (EST), were found to be expressed less in PC‐3 than in BPH. Further studies on the significance of these genes in the development of prostate cancer are now warranted.

Abstract

The molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of prostate cancer have remained poorly understood. The identification of differentially expressed genes has been used as a tool to recognize genes that are involved in disease processes. In this study we combined suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and cDNA array hybridization to identify genes whose expression is decreased in prostate cancer. cDNA from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) was subtracted with cDNA from the prostate cancer cell line PC‐3 and 386 of the subtracted clones were arrayed onto a nylon filter membrane. The differential gene expression was then verified by hybridizing the filter with radioactively labelled first‐strand cDNA preparations from BPH, PC‐3, four other cancer cell lines, and a normal prostate epithelial cell line (PrEC). In order to validate SSH and cDNA array hybridization, the enrichment of clones in the subtraction, as well as the sensitivity and linearity of array hybridization, was first evaluated. The array hydridization results were confirmed by northern analysis and selected clones were sequenced. Altogether, several known genes, such as prostate‐specific antigen (PSA), human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2), phosphatidic acid phosphatase type 2a (PAP2a), α‐tropomyosin, and insulin‐like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP‐7), as well as an anonymous transcript (EST), were found to be expressed less in PC‐3 than in BPH. Further studies on the significance of these genes in the development of prostate cancer are now warranted. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
