[0163] MicroRNA expression profiling in a bone metastatic model of prostate cancer reveals elevated expression of miR-409-5p
[0164]Two cell-based models of PCa bone metastases derived from PCa patients, the human ARCaP model (ARCaP E and ARCaP M ) (E-epithelial, M-stromal) and LNCaP models (LNCaP and C4-2) for MiRNA profiling ( figure 1 A) (15,16). ARCP E and LNCaP are less invasive and do not metastasize to bone, while C4-2 and ARCaP M It is highly aggressive and metastasizes to the bone. In these cell lines, miR-409-5p, miR-379, and miR-154* were expressed in highly bone-metastatic ARCaP M cells are up-regulated ( figure 1 D). miR-409-5p is produced from an immature transcript and is transcribed from the 5' end of the pre-miRNA. When injected intracardiacly into mice, ARCaP M The cells have 100% bone metastatic capacity (17). The ARCaP model is a model of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (17). Consistent with previously described EMT-associated miRNAs, com...

[0166] Overexpression of miR-409 in normal prostate leads to tumor growth
[0167] To test whether miR-409 is oncogenic, the inventors injected human embryonic kidney 293T cells transfected with a miR-409 expressing lentiviral vector carrying green fluorescent protein (GFP) or a control vector carrying a GFP plasmid (System biosciences). 293T cells were orthotopically injected into nude mice, and tumor progression was monitored using a tumor-specific infrared dye (IR783) (19). The rationale behind this procedure is that lentivirus will be secreted from the resulting cells (293T) and will infect the prostate epithelium and stroma. Strikingly, tumors developed in the miR-409 expressing prostate in three out of four mice within 3 to 5 months ( image 3 A). Control mice did not develop tumors. Tumors are green fluorescent and show tumor-specific dye uptake ( image 3 A). Tumor sections were formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded and H&E stained. Tumor sections were graded by a...

[0169] Inhibition of miR-409-5p in mesenchymal metastatic prostate cancer cells (ARCaPM) leads to cell death, upregulation of miR-409-5p target genes (tumor suppressors), and reversal of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT to MET)
[0170] Inhibition of miR-409-5p using lentiviral-based anti-miR-409-5p resulted in significant cell death in metastatic prostate cancer cells ( Figure 4 A). In ARCaP stably transfected with miR-409-5p inhibitor constructs compared to control M In cells, the expression of miR-409-5p was decreased. Evaluation of miR-409-5p targeting mRNAs including TUSC4, PHC3, and STAG2, compared to ARCaP M Control (ARCaP M -C) cells, in miR-409-5p knockdown cells (ARCaP M -409-5pi) in metastatic prostate cancer cells, these mRNAs were increased. TUSC4 is a tumor suppressor protein that is missing in solid tumors. PHC3 is part of the polycomb group protein involved in transcriptional repression and regulation of cell fate (20). siRNA-mediated downregul...
