SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES
ABSTRACTAdipocyte stromal cells from WAT of both Glipr1 wild type adult males and Glipr1 knock out adult males were isolated and used for coculturing experiment. Coculturing prostate cancer cells (VCaP, RM-9, PC-3) with ASCs from WAT of Glipr1 KO and Glipr1 WT resulted in increased growth of the cancer cells compared to the cells grown without the ASCs. Moreover, the prostate cancer cells grown with Glipr1 KO ASCs resulted in higher cell growth rate compared to the cells grown with Glipr1 WT ASCs. Similar results were found after the prostate cancer cells were incubated with ASCs-CM from both Glipr1 KO and WT. The cells incubated with Glipr1 KO ASCs-CM resulted in higher cell growth number compared to the cells grown with Glipr1 WT ASCs-CM, indicating the presence of differential levels of factors that promote cell growth. When the ASCs-CM from Glipr1 WT and KO were analyzed and compared, we detected numerous factors that promote tumor cell growth and invasion. As expected, the levels of these factors that promote cancer cell growth and invasion were much higher in Glipr1 KO ASCs-CM than in Glipr1 WT ASCs-CM. -/-knockout (KO) mice. We are testing our hypothesis that the biologic activity of WAT is affected by castration and that although the acute effects of castration (e.g., GLIPR1 induction) may suppress cancer-promoting adipokines, long-term ADT results in monocyte infiltration and the generation of WAT-associated macrophages (WAMs). WAMs, in turn, produce cytokines and promote the growth and survival of growth factor-expressing ASCs, which enter the systemic circulation and promote PCa progression. An important note is ...
