Prostate cancer (PC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in US men, and progression to androgen-independent PC (AIPC) typically results in metastasis and is lethal. However, the mechanisms whereby PC progresses from androgen dependence to androgen independence are not completely understood. Mutagenesis screens to identify novel genes involved in the progression to AIPC have been performed using replication-incompetent lentiviral vectors (LVs). In this approach the LV acts both as a mutagen and as molecular tag to identify nearby genes that may have been dysregulated by the vector provirus, and are candidate AIPC genes. Here we describe protocols for generation of replication-incompetent LV preparations and performing a mutagenesis screen to identify AIPC genes in vitro.
