520 _aProstate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed solid malignancy in men. African American (AA) men are at greater risk for developing prostate cancer, and experience higher mortality rates, as compared with Caucasian American men. However, mechanistic studies to understand this health disparity have been limited by the lack of relevant in vitro and in vivo models. There is an urgent need for preclinical cellular models to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying prostate cancer in AA men. We collected clinical specimens from radical prostatectomies of AA patients and established 10 paired tumor-derived and normal epithelial cell cultures from the same donors, which were further cultivated to extend the growth under "conditional reprogramming." Clinical and cellular annotations characterized these model cells as intermediate risk and predominantly diploid. Immunocytochemical analyses demonstrated variable expression levels of luminal (CK8) and basal (CK5, p63) markers in both normal and tumor cells. However, expression levels of TOPK, c-MYC, and N-MYC were markedly increased only in tumor cells. To determine cell utility for drug testing, we examined viability of cells following exposure to the antiandrogen (bicalutamide) and two PARP inhibitors (olaparib and niraparib) and observed decreased viability of tumor-derived cells as compared with viability of normal prostate-derived cells.
520 _aSignificance: Cells derived from prostatectomies of AA patients conferred a bimodal cellular phenotype, recapitulating clinical prostate cellular complexity in this model cell system. Comparisons of viability responses of tumor derived to normal epithelial cells offer the potential for screening therapeutic drugs. Therefore, these paired prostate epithelial cell cultures provide an in vitro model system suitable for studies of molecular mechanisms in health disparities.
