We have described a novel model to induce the expression of these factors in vitro. We term this culture environment ‘Acquired Pluripotent Stem Cell Environment (APSCE)’ and RNA-seq comparisons were made to culture in conventional serum supplemented ‘Full Media’ (FM) in human prostate (LNCaP, CWR22Rv1) and bladder (RT112) cancer cell lines. Depletion of the androgen receptor (AR) with siRNA targeting e xon1(siEX1) was additionally performed in the CWR22Rv1 cell line alongside a scrambled control (siCTRL).
