Reconstructing the Prostate Cancer Transcriptional Regulatory Network

Abstract

This award has enabled the development of computational methods to analyze and integrate diverse prostate cancer genomic datasets. We have successfully applied one developed method to a prostate cancer dataset, resulting in the identification of genes that may play a causal role in prostate tumor metastasis. Our analysis of prostate tumor DNA copy number data has also uncovered a potentially novel tumor suppressor gene associated with clinically-indolent prostate cancer. This finding may represent a much-needed biomarker capable of distinguishing indolent versus aggressive disease, and may lead to novel strategies for patient management.
