Abstract

Screening of compounds for activity toward inhibition of prostate cancer cell proliferation is provided. A cell line is employed which can be used in conventional equipment for determining activity of compounds, where the cell line uses a marker whose expression is responsive to therapeutically active compounds.

Claims

[received by the International Bureau on 14 March 1998 (14.03.98); original claims 8-18 amended; new claims 19-25 added; remaining claims unchanged (3 pages)] combining said PSA expressing cells with a candidate drug in the presence of methyl trienolone or dihydrotestosterone for sufficient time for detectable expression of said enzyme; lysing said PSA expressing cells to provide a lysate and adding the substrate of said enzyme to said lysate; and detecting the level of expression of said enzyme as compared to the level of expression in the absence of said candidate drug.
7. A method according to Claim 6, wherein said PSA expressing cells are LNCaP cells and said enzyme is luciferase.
8. A method according to claims 1 or 6, wherein the prostate specific antigen enhancer comprises a sequence encompassing nucleotides between about -5824 to about - 3738 ofthe upstream region ofthe PSA gene, wherein the enhancer exhibits enhancer activity.
9. A method according to claims 1 or 6, wherein the prostate specific antigen enhancer is contained within a polynucleotide fragment of about 5.8 kilobases from about - 5824 to about +1 of the upstream region ofthe PSA gene, wherein the enhancer exhibits enhancer activity.
10. A method according to claim 10, wherein the promoter comprises a sequence encompassing nucleotides between about -560 to about +7 ofthe PSA gene.
11. A method for screening compounds for the treatment of prostate cancer employing cells comprising an expression construct, said expression construct comprising an enhancer of a prostate-specific gene and a promoter and a reporter gene whose expression product provides a detectable signal, wherein said reporter gene is under the transcriptional control of said enhancer, said method comprising the steps of: a) combining said cells with a candidate compound for a sufficient time for detectable expression of said reporter gene; and b) detecting the level of expression of said reporter gene as compared to the level of expression in the absence of said candidate compound.
33
12. A method according to claim 11, wherein said reporter gene expresses an enzyme.
13. A method according to claim 12, wherein said enzyme is luciferase.
14. A method according to claim 13, wherein said detecting comprises: lysing said cells; and assaying said lysate for luminescence.
15. A method according to claim 11, wherein said enhancer is an enhancer region ofthe human prostate specific antigen (PSA) gene.
16. A method according to claim 15, wherein the prostate specific antigen enhancer comprises a sequence encompassing nucleotides between about -5824 to about - 3738 ofthe upstream region of the PSA gene, wherein the enhancer exhibits enhancer activity.
17. A method according to claim 11, wherein said enhancer from the human glandular kallikrein (hKLK2) gene.
18. A method according to claim 17, wherein the hKLK2 enhancer comprises a sequence encompassing nucleotides about 1 to about 9765 of SEQ ID NO: l or active fragments thereof.
19. A method according to claim 17, wherein the hKLK2 enhancer comprises a sequence encompassing nucleotides about 5976 to about 9620 of SEQ ID NO: l or active fragments thereof.
20. A method according to claim 17, wherein the hKLK2 enhancer comprises a sequence encompassing nucleotides about 6859 to about 8627 of SEQ ID NO:l or active fragments thereof.
21. A method of any of claims 17 to 20, wherein the promoter is an hKLK2 promoter.
22. A method of any of claims 11 to 21, wherein the cells are mammalian.
34
23. A method of claim 22, wherein the mammalian cells express prostate specific antigen.
24. A method of claim 22 or 23, wherein the cells are prostate.
25. A method of claim 24, wherein the prostate cells contain an endogenous androgen receptor.
