Figure Legend Snippet: (A) RT-qPCR of DKK3 expression in prostate cell lines (LAPC4, PC3, RWPE1, 957E), monolayer prostate epithelial cells (PrE 2D), and organoid PrE cells (3D) grown in vehicle or 10 nM 1,25D. Monolayer cells were treated for 24–72 h, and organoids were treated for 2–3.5 weeks. Relative quantitation is normalized to HPRT1; error bars represent standard deviation of technical RT-qPCR pipetting replicates. Cells from multiple sources represent biological replicates. P value represents interaction outcome of 2-way ANOVA comparison for vehicle vs 1,25D in PrE cells. (B) Immunostaining for DKK3 (green) in a whole-mounted day-17 AA3 organoid counterstained with DAPI (blue) and phalloidin/F-actin (pink). Scale bar = 50 μm. (C) ELISA quantification of secreted DKK3 in media collected from monolayer PrE cells grown in vehicle or 10 nM 1,25D for 72 h, normalized to the number of cells. Error bars represent the standard error of triplicate ELISA technical samples. Cells from multiple sources present biological replicates. P value represents interaction outcome of 2-way ANOVA comparison of vehicle vs 1,25D. (D) Western blot of DKK3 expression in cell lines and monolayer and organoid PrE cells grown in vehicle or 10 nM 1,25D (sDKK3 = secreted DKK3 variants; DKK3b = intracellular DKK3 variant). (E) VDR-ChIP sequencing peak near DKK3 in PrE cells treated with 1,25D for 3 hours, IGV track showing 1,25D-treated minus vehicle-treated coverage (data from NCBI GEO accession number GSE124576). (F) Western blot of monolayer AA1 prostate epithelial (PrE) cells transduced with control virus (siGFP) or siDKK3 virus and grown in vehicle, 10 nM 1,25D, or 50 ng/mL rDKK3 (left). Representative images of siGFP-or siDKK3-treated AA1 PrE organoids grown in vehicle or 10 nM 1,25D for 2 weeks (middle), with quantification of relative area, normalized to vehicle (right) (*p < 0.1; **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01; ****p < 0.001. Scale bar = 200 μm). (G) Relative area of PrE organoids grown in vehicle or 10 nM 1,25D combined with 50 ng/mL rDKK3 treatment for two weeks, normalized to vehicle (*p < 0.1, **p < 0.05; ***p < 0.01; ****p < 0.001).
