The objective of this study is to identify gene signature associated with castration-refractory prostate cancer (CRPC) development. We carried out RNA-seq based transcriptome profiling using 45 prostate samples with various disease progression steps such as benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), primary cancer of prostate (CaP), advanced CaP and CRPC. Via various statistical analyses, we identified significant gene set associated with each progression step and observed that AR was the only gene feature associated with all progression steps, indicating that AR is the crucial mediator of and has a diverse activity across the CaP progressions. Among the samples in this data set, there are 4 pairs of advanced CaP and CRPC samples, in which each pair was obtained from the same patient. Using these paired samples, we also determined differentially expressed genes between advanced CaP and CRPC, and performed comparative analysis of significant gene lists in matched sample pairs and in unpaired remained samples. By assessing expression difference between advanced CaP and CRPC groups, 309 and 182 genes were statistically significant in paired and unpaired samples, respectively (P < 0.001). When these two gene lists were compared, a total of 15 genes were common and applied to a number of downstream experimental assays.
