The effect of protocadherin-PC on epithelial mesenchymal transition of prostate cancer cells

摘要: 目的 为了分析基因Protocadherin-PC与前列腺癌转移是否有关,研究其对前列腺癌细胞上皮间质化生的影响,从而探索基因Protocadherin-PC与前列腺癌细胞侵袭转移的关系。 方法 分别采用蛋白免疫印记、形态检测、细胞划痕闭合实验的方法检测通过Protocadherin-PC siRNA抑制基因Protocadherin-PC表达对雄激素非依赖性前列腺癌细胞DU-145细胞、PC-3细胞上皮间质化生的影响。 结果 蛋白免疫印记结果提示抑制基因Protocadherin-PC表达可以促进DU-145细胞、PC-3细胞间质上皮化生;形态学检测提示抑制基因Protocadherin-PC表达在形态上可以诱导DU-145细胞、PC-3细胞更接近于雄激素依赖性前列腺癌细胞LNCaP;细胞划痕闭合实验结果提示抑制基因Protocadherin-PC表达可以减慢DU-145细胞、PC-3细胞生长速度。 结论 通过Protocadherin-PC siRNA抑制基因Protocadherin-PC表达可以降低雄激素非依赖性前列腺癌细胞DU-145、PC-3侵袭转移力,从而揭示基因Protocadherin-PC又一新功能,与晚期前列腺癌转移关系密切。

Abstract: Objective To analyze whether the Protocadherin-PC gene is associated with prostate cancer metastasis, the effects on the epithelial protoplasm of prostate cancer cells were studied. Methods The effects of inhibitd Protocadherin-PC expression by siRNA on epithelial mesenchymal metaplasia of DU-145 and PC-3 cells were detected by western blotting, morphological detection and wound healing. Results The result of western blotting showed that suppression of the Protocadherin-PC expression could promote mesenchymal epithelial transition of DU-145 and PC-3 cells. Morphologic examination indicated that inhibition of Protocadherin-PC expression could induce DU-145 and PC-3 cells to be closer to androgen-dependent prostate cancer LNCaP. Wound healing assay suggested that the growth rate of DU-145 and PC-3 cells were down regulated by suppression of Protocadherin-PC expression. Conclusion Suppression of the Protocadherin-PC expression by siRNA reduces the invasive and metastasis ability of androgen-independent prostate cancer cells DU-145 and PC-3, and thus revealing another new function of Protocadherin-PC.-
