Methodological aspects of the molecular and histological study of prostate cancer: Focus on PTEN

Abstract: Prostate cancer is among the most frequent cancers in men, and despite its high rate of cure, the high number of cases results in an elevated mortality worldwide. Importantly, prostate cancer incidence is dramatically increasing in western societies in the past decades, suggesting that this type of tumor is exquisitely sensitive to lifestyle changes. Prostate cancer frequently exhibits alterations in the PTEN gene (inactivating mutations or gene deletions) or at the protein level (reduced protein expression or… Show more

“…As a first approach, we analyzed the physical characteristics of uEVs from patients with BPH and PCa by comparing more than 23–30 independent preparations from each group ( Supplementry Table S1 ). In order to validate the ultracentrifugation procedure [ 16 ] for isolation of uEVs, the presence of double membrane vesicles by cryo-electron microscopy (Figure 1A ) and EV markers by western blot [ 28 ] was confirmed ( Supplementary Figure S1 ). We next analyzed uEV size and number in urine of BPH and PCa patients.…”

“…From this analysis, we selected two transcripts, Eukaryotic Elongation Factor 1A1 (EEF1A1) and Ribosomal Protein L6 (RPL6), that we monitored in subsequent studies. In addition, we also included Glyceraldehyde Phosphate Dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as a housekeeping gene supported by prior studies of our group [ 16 ].…”

“…We evaluated PPARD mRNA (11 benign prostate hyperplasia and 16 primary prostate cancer tissue extracts harvested following the guidelines reported; ref. 20) in human specimens. The results revealed a significant downregulation of PPARD in cancerous tissues compared with benign disease (Fig.…”

“…RNA was extracted using NucleoSpin RNA isolation kit from Macherey-Nagel (ref: 740955.240C). For xenograft samples, a TRIzol-based implementation of the NucleoSpin RNA isolation kit protocol was used as reported (24). For all cases, 1 mg of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using qScript cDNA Supermix from Quanta (ref: 95048).…”
