lncRNA-PCAT1 knockdown effect on the gene expression of androgen independent LNCaP (LNCaP-AI) cell line

We generated and characterized an androgen-independent LNCaP-AI cell line by long-term culture of androgen-dependent LNCaP cells in RPMI-1640 medium containing charcoal-stripped serum. This approach used to generate the line mimics the castration resistant condition for treating prostate cancer, supporting the relevance of the LNCAP-AI cell line to Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer. Overall design: LNCaP-AI cells transfected with lncRNA PCAT1 shRNA and the scramble shRNA were used for the RNA-seq.
