Sphingosine kinase-1signalling during prostate cancer cell motility, invasion and metastasis
A major clinical complication in patients with advanced prostate cancer (PC) is metastasis to bone. The impact of this problem is evident from its occurrence in 30% of men newly diagnosed with PC and up to 75% of patients at some time during their illness. Prostatic bone lesions result in high levels of morbidity with symptoms that can include severe pain, bone fractures, spinal cord compression and eventual paralysis or death.
In this proposal we aim to elucidate the mechanism(s) that underlie sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1)-induced PC cell motility. The major techniques used are: cell migration and motility analysis (screening video microscopy in Dunn and Boyden chambers), cell invasion analysis (Matrigel), cell co-culture, confocal microscopy, western blotting, enzyme in vitro activity assays and qRT-PCR. Depending on the results of the in vitro studies we will continue to investigate the suitability of SK1 as a potential target for blocking PC metastasis using in vivo models.
The successful candidate would be a motivated person, who wants to start a PhD project, has some laboratory experience, is familiar with molecular biology techniques and highly proficient in English. Previous publications are desirable but not essential.
