Anaysis of the response to different therapeutic agents at the transcriptional level. The design of the experiment allows to determine how the combination target therapy (Rapamycin + PD0325901) treatment shifts the transcriptome towards a less aggressive or even a wild type phenotype more efficiently than conventional chemotherapy (Docetaxel). It also allows exploring the molecular chages involved in the transition from a non metastatic to a metastatic prostate cancer mouse model.
Overall design
Total RNA obtained from prostate tumors or wild type prostate after treatment with targeting agents compared to chemotherapy and/or vehicle as indicated
