Novel Race-specific Genetic and Epigenetic Determinants of ADT-Resistance in African American Prostate Cancer

Purpose: The goals of this study is to compare NGS-derived Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) resistant miRNome profiling to Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) sensitive miRNome profile in African American prostate cancer cells and validate by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) methods. Method: Mirco-RNA were isolated from different CaP cells who were sensitive and resistant to Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT). Total micro-RNA were subjected to miRNA-Seq. Results: We performed whole miRNA-Seq analysis through paired-end deep sequencing to systematically investigate the molecular features of different CaP cell models- RC-77-N, RC-77T/E, RCC7T/E-ADT, RCC7T/E-CD133-plus, E006AA-hT and E006AA-hT-ADT. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of African American ADT resistant miRNome, with biologic replicates, generated by miRNA-seq technology. Overall design: Androgen resistant and Androgen sensitive miRNA profiles from African American prostate cancer of were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate using Illumina
