Figure Lengend Snippet: A. MYC ChIP-seq in VCaP cells treated with vehicle control or supraphysiological androgen (SPA; DHT 10nM) for 4 hours. Data reanalyzed from Guo et al, 2021( 40 ). B. Change in indicated transcript expression by RNAseq in VCaP cells with control knock-down or MYC knock-down by siRNA. Data reanalyzed from Guo et al, 2021( 40 ). C . Expression of indicated proteins in LNCaP cells expressing empty vector (EV) or MYC (MYC) treated with vehicle control (V; EtOH 0.1%) or SPA (S; R1881 10nM) for 96 hours. Vinculin is used as a loading control. Representative blot of n=2 experiments. D. Change in indicated transcript expression by RNAseq in cells treated as per C. E. A comparison of change of individual RNA transcript abundance by SPA in LNCaP-EV cells versus LNCaP-MYC cells. The line of best fit (dotted red) has a shallower slope than the line of unity (solid blue), indicating that many transcripts have reduced change by SPA in LNCaP-MYC cells. F. Schematic highlighting that the inhibition of MYC by SPA can function as an amplifying circuit to further increase expression of ODC1 , AMD1 , and KLK3 by SPA. P values by unpaired 2-tailed t test in B and D.
Article Snippet: RT-PCR were performed in triplicate using 500ug cDNA, 10ul TaqMan Gene Expression Master Mix (ThermoFisher), and 1ul 20x TaqMan Gene Expression Assay probe mix for MYC (Hs00153408_m1), AMD1 (Hs00750876_s1), ODC1 (Hs00159739_m), KLK3 (Hs02576345_m1) and ACTB (Hs01060665_g1) (ThermoFisher) on an ABI7500 RT-PCR System (ThermoFisher).
