Figure Lengend Snippet: LASP1 drives NE transdifferentiation (A) Real-time qPCR analysis of LASP1 , SYP , ENO2 , and NCAM1 expression in 42D ENZR cells compared to 16D CRPC cells. (B) Western blot analysis of LASP1, SYP, ENO2, and NCAM1 expression in 42D ENZR cells compared to 16D CRPC cells. (C) Real-time qPCR analysis of LASP1 , SYP , ENO2 , and NCAM1 expression in 16D CRPC cells castrated for 3, 7, and 14 days. Cells were cultured in RPMI + 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), RPMI + 10% charcoal-stripped serum (CSS), or RPMI + 10% CSS+10 μM enzalutamide (ENZ). (D) Western blot analysis of LASP1, SYP, ENO2, and NCAM1 expression in 16D CRPC cells castrated for 3, 7, and 14 days. Cells were cultured in RPMI + 10% FBS, RPMI + 10% CSS, or RPMI + 10% CSS +10 μM ENZ. (E) Western blot analysis of LASP1 levels in LASP1-OE 16D CRPC stable cell lines. (F) Real-time qPCR analysis of SYP , ENO2 , and NCAM1 expression in exogenously expressing vector or LASP1 in 16D CRPC cells. LASP1-OE 16D CRPC or mock-transduced 16D CRPC were cultured in RPMI + 10% FBS, RPMI + 10% CSS, or RPMI + 10% CSS +10 μM ENZ. (G) Western blot analysis of ENO2 and NCAM1 expression in exogenously expressing either mock or LASP1 in 16D CRPC cells. LASP1-OE 16D CRPC or mock-transduced 16D CRPC were cultured in RPMI + 10% FBS, RPMI + 10% CSS, or RPMI + 10% CSS +10 μM ENZ. (H) Representative IHC images of NCAM1, ENO2, AR, and LASP1 and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining for LASP1-OE 16D CRPC or mock-transduced 16D CRPC xenograft tumors. (I) GSEA analysis of LASP1-OE 16D CRPC tumor-derived cells versus mock-transduced 16D CRPC cells. (J) Heatmap displaying increased NE marker expression in LASP1-OE 16D CRPC tumor-derived cells versus mock-transduced 16D CRPC cells. Data show mean ± SEM from three biological replicates. The p values (A and F) were calculated with unpaired two-tail Student’s t tests. Densitometry analysis data are in .
