C-MYC and prostate differentiation are targeted by ERG in prostate cancer cells. VCaP cells transfected with ERG si or NT were analyzed by Affymetrix HG U133 Plus 2.0 high-density oligonucleotide human genome arrays, QRT-PCR, Chromatin Immunoprecipitation and by Western blots. (a) Functional co-citation based network was obtained from overlapping genes within the comparative gene expression analyses of ERG expressing prostate tumors (ERG+ Tumor Gene Expression, left side color codes) and ERG si treated VCaP cells (ERG si Gene Expression, VCaP, right side color codes) by the <t>BiblioSphere</t> Software (Genomatix GmbH, Munich, Germany).

IgG and Input was used as controls. (c) PSA mRNA and protein expression were measured by QRT-PCR and Western blot assays respectively. Increased AR binding to the PSA enhancer (ARE) and decreased ERG recruitment to the overlapping ETS cognate element was measured by ChIP assay 48 h after transfection. On the right panel VCaP cells at 9 days after treatment with control NT (upper photographs) and ERG si (lower photographs) were immunostained for CK8/18 (extreme left), PSA (second column from left) and DNA (third column from left) and the separate images merged (extreme right column). The scale bar is 25 micron. (d) SLC45A3 (Prostein) expression in ERG si transfected VCaP cells was measured by Western blots (upper left).
