LNCaP cells were treated with valproate, temsirolimus or a combination of both. The proliferation rates and the expression of key markers of tumorigenesis were evaluated. In in vivo experiments, LNCaP cells were implanted into immune-suppressed male nude mice. Mice were treated with valproate (per os), temsirolimus (intravenously) or with a combination of both. Tumor volumes were calculated and mRNA expression was quantified. The incubation of LNCaP cells with the combination of valproate and temsirolimus resulted in a decrease of cell proliferation with an additive effect of both drugs in comparison to the single treatment. In particular, the combined application of valproate and temsirolimus led to a significant upregulation of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), which mediates apoptosis and inhibits tumor cell proliferation. In the mouse model, we found no significant differences in tumor growth between the different treatment arms but immunohistological analyses showed that tumors treated with a combination of valproate and temsirolimus, but not with the single drugs alone, exhibited a significant lower proliferation capacity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3892/ijmm.2012.1221"],["dc.identifier.isi","000313858500009"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23292124"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/30859"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Spandidos Publ Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","1107-3756"],["dc.title","Synergistic effects of histone deacetylase inhibitor in combination with mTOR inhibitor in the treatment of prostate carcinoma"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2013Conference Abstract [["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","6"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Journal of Clinical Oncology"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","31"],["dc.contributor.author","Thelen, Paul"],["dc.contributor.author","Walleck, Eiko"],["dc.contributor.author","Bremmer, Felix"],["dc.contributor.author","Trojan, Lutz"],["dc.contributor.author","Strauss, Arne"],["dc.date.accessioned","2018-11-07T09:28:04Z"],["dc.date.available","2018-11-07T09:28:04Z"],["dc.date.issued","2013"],["dc.identifier.isi","000333679600131"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/30688"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Amer Soc Clinical Oncology"],["dc.publisher.place","Alexandria"],["dc.relation.conference","Genitourinary Cancers Symposium of the Conquer-Cancer-Foundation of American-Society-of-Clinical-Oncology (ASCO)"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","Orlando, FL"],["dc.relation.issn","1527-7755"],["dc.relation.issn","0732-183X"],["dc.title","Analysis of putative resistance mechanisms in recent treatments targeting the androgen receptor in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)"],["dc.type","conference_abstract"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details WOS2014Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.artnumber","574"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","SpringerPlus"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","3"],["dc.contributor.author","Bremmer, Felix"],["dc.contributor.author","Jarry, Hubertus"],["dc.contributor.author","Strauss, Arne"],["dc.contributor.author","Behnes, Carl Ludwig"],["dc.contributor.author","Trojan, Lutz"],["dc.contributor.author","Thelen, Paul"],["dc.date.accessioned","2018-11-07T09:33:49Z"],["dc.date.available","2018-11-07T09:33:49Z"],["dc.date.issued","2014"],["dc.description.abstract","Recent breakthrough therapies targeting androgen receptor signalling in castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) involve multifunctional androgen receptor (AR) blockade and exhaustive androgen deprivation. Nevertheless, limitations to an enduring effectiveness of new drugs are anticipated in resistance mechanisms occurring under such treatments. In this study we used CRPC cell models VCaP and LNCaP as well as AR-negative PC-3- and non-neoplastic epithelial BPH-1-cells treated with 5, 10 or 25 mu mol/L abiraterone hydrolyzed from abiraterone acetate (AA). The origin of CYP17A1 up-regulation under AA treatment was investigated in CRPC cell models by qRT-PCR and western-blot procedures. AA treatments of AR positive CRPC cell models led to decreased expression of androgen regulated genes such as PSA. In these cells diminished expression of androgen regulated genes was accompanied by an up-regulation of CYP17A1 expression within short-term treatments. No such effects became evident in AR-negative PC-3 cells. AR directed siRNA (siAR) used in VCaP cells significantly reduced mRNA expression and AR protein abundance. Such interference with AR signalling in the absence of abiraterone acetate also caused a marked up-regulation of CYP17A1 expression. Down-regulation of androgen regulated genes occurs in spite of an elevated expression of CYP17A1, the very target enzyme for this drug. CYP17A1 up-regulation already takes place within such short treatments with AA and does not require adaptation events over several cell cycles. CYP17A1 is also up-regulated in the absence of AA when AR signalling is physically eliminated by siAR. These results reveal an immediate counter-regulation of CYP17A1 expression whenever AR-signalling is inhibited adequately but not a persisting adaptation yielding drug resistance."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/2193-1801-3-574"],["dc.identifier.isi","000359105300002"],["dc.identifier.pmid","25332874"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/11151"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/32049"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","2193-1801"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Increased expression of CYP17A1 indicates an effective targeting of the androgen receptor axis in castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2012Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.artnumber","19"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","1"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","BMC Clinical Pathology"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","12"],["dc.contributor.author","Bremmer, Felix"],["dc.contributor.author","Hemmerlein, Bernhard"],["dc.contributor.author","Strauss, Arne"],["dc.contributor.author","Burfeind, Peter"],["dc.contributor.author","Thelen, Paul"],["dc.contributor.author","Radzun, Heinz-Joachim"],["dc.contributor.author","Behnes, Carl Ludwig"],["dc.date.accessioned","2019-07-09T11:54:07Z"],["dc.date.available","2019-07-09T11:54:07Z"],["dc.date.issued","2012"],["dc.description.abstract","Background Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common malignancy in young men aged 18–35 years.

For therapeutic management it is important, that TGCT are divided into several histological subtypes. MED15 is part of the multiprotein Mediator complex which presents an integrative hub for transcriptional regulation and is known to be deregulated in several malignancies, such as prostate cancer and bladder cancer role, whereas the role of the Mediator complex in TGCT has not been investigated so far. Aim of the study was to investigate the implication of MED15 in TGCT development and its stratification into histological subtypes. Methods: Immunohistochemical staining (IHC) against Mediator complex subunit MED15 was conducted on a TGCT cohort containing tumor-free testis (n = 35), intratubular germ cell neoplasia unclassified (IGCNU, n = 14), seminomas (SEM, n = 107) and non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT, n = 42), further subdivided into embryonic carcinomas (EC, n = 30), yolk sac tumors (YST, n = 5), chorionic carcinomas (CC, n = 5) and teratomas (TER, n = 2). Quantification of MED15 protein expression was performed through IHC followed by semi-quantitative image analysis using the Definiens software. Results: In tumor-free seminiferous tubules, MED15 protein expression was absent or only low expressed in spermatogonia. Interestingly, the precursor lesions IGCNU exhibited heterogeneous but partly very strong MED15 expression. SEM weakly express the Mediator complex subunit MED15, whereas NSGCT and especially EC show significantly enhanced expression compared to tumor-free testis. Conclusions: In conclusion, MED15 is differentially expressed in tumor-free testis and TGCT. While MED15 is absent or low in tumor-free testis and SEM, NSGCT highly express MED15, hinting at the diagnostic potential of this marker to distinguish between SEM and NSGCT. Further, the precursor lesion IGCNU showed increased nuclear MED15 expression in the preinvasive precursor cells, which may provide diagnostic value to distinguish between benign and pre-malignant testicular specimen, and may indicate a role for MED15 in carcinogenesis in TGCT."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2015"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s13000-015-0398-6"],["dc.identifier.isi","000361281600004"],["dc.identifier.pmid","26377566"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13462"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/35945"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Biomed Central Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","1746-1596"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Differential expression of Mediator complex subunit MED15 in testicular germ cell tumors"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2013Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","1699"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","15"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","The Prostate"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","1709"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","73"],["dc.contributor.author","Thelen, Paul"],["dc.contributor.author","Heinrich, Elmar"],["dc.contributor.author","Bremmer, Felix"],["dc.contributor.author","Trojan, Lutz"],["dc.contributor.author","Strauss, Arne"],["dc.date.accessioned","2018-11-07T09:18:22Z"],["dc.date.available","2018-11-07T09:18:22Z"],["dc.date.issued","2013"],["dc.description.abstract","BACKGROUNDThe primary therapeutic target for non-organ-confined prostate cancer is the androgen receptor (AR). Main strategies to ablate AR function are androgen depletion and direct receptor blockade by AR antagonists. However, incurable castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) develops resistance mechanisms to cope with trace amounts of androgen including AR overexpression and mutation in the AR ligand binding domain. METHODSThe CRPC cell model VCaP derivative of a prostate cancer bone metastasis was used in vitro and in nude mice in vivo to examine the effects of immediate testosterone boost on CRPC cells. In addition, a testosterone tolerant cell model was established by incremental acclimatization of VCaP cells to 1nM testosterone. The effects of androgen withdrawal and testosterone boosts on gene expression were assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, ELISA, and Western blots. Tumor cell proliferation was evaluated with a BrdU test. RESULTSTestosterone boosts on CRPC VCaP cells eliminate tumor cells to a higher extent than androgen withdrawal in androgen tolerant cells. The pronounced decrease of tumor cell proliferation was accompanied by a marked downregulation of AR expression regarding full-length AR and splice variant AR V7. CONCLUSIONSAcquiring castration resistance of prostate cancer cells by AR overexpression and amplification obviously sensitizes such cells to testosterone concentrations as low as physiological values.

Conclusion: CK19 proved to be a sensitive marker to identify yolk sac tumours of the testis and to distinguish them from other germ cell tumours, especially seminomas and embryonic carcinomas."],["dc.description.sponsorship","research program, faculty of medicine, Georg-August-University Gottingen"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s13000-015-0243-y"],["dc.identifier.isi","000352070000001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","25889715"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/12289"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/37594"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Biomed Central Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","1746-1596"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","CK19 is a sensitive marker for yolk sac tumours of the testis"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS
