For further functional analysis, we knocked down ER beta expression by RNA interference. LNCaP prostate cancer cells were treated with 5 mmol/L VPA or 100 mu mol/L tectorigenin and transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) against ER beta.

Expression of ER beta mRNA and protein markedly increased after VPA or tectorigenin treatment. When ER beta was knocked down by siRNA, the expression of prostate-derived Ets factor, prostate-specific antigen, prostate cancer-specific indicator gene DD3(PCA3), insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor, the catalytic subunit of the telomerase, and ER beta was up-regulated and the tectorigenin effects were abrogated. ER beta levels were diminished in prostate cancer and loss of ER beta was associated with proliferation.

We demonstrate that VPA specifically induces the re-expression of cyclin D2, one of the highly conserved D-type cyclin family members, in several cancer cell lines with weak or no cyclin D2 expression. Interestingly, VPA treatment had no effect in fibroblasts, which typically have high basal levels of cyclin D2 expression. The re-expression of cyclin D2 observed in PCa cells is activated by increased histone acetylation in the promoter region of the Ccnd2 gene and represents one underlying molecular mechanism of VPA treatment that inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells.

NKX3.1 is necessary for correct prostate development and undergoes frequent allelic loss in prostate cancer. However, no mutations occur in the coding region and some particularly aggressive cancers over-express the protein. Nevertheless NKX3.1 is often referred to as candidate tumor suppressor gene. Recent findings suggest a function in protection against oxidative damage involved in prostate carcinogenesis. Thus NKX3.1 may act differently at various stages of prostate cancer. Unlike a classical tumor suppressor NKX3.1 is up-regulated by androgens and down-regulated by phytoestrogens. In this study we performed RNAi based functional analysis by knocking down NKX3.1 expression in LNCaP prostate cancer cells and analyzing the impact of NKX3.1 on gene expression and cell proliferation. Knockdown of NKX3.1 evoked a massive down-regulation of NKX3.1 expression, followed by reduction in mRNA expression of the androdrogen receptor (AR) and the insulinlike growth factor receptor (IGF-1R). Western blot analysis showed strong decreases of NKX3.1, AR, and IGF-1R protein expression. Concomitantly, cell proliferation decreased and expression of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) mRNA and its secretion were diminished, whereas expression of IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) and MMP tissue inhibitor 3 (TIMP-3) was up-regulated. In tumor cells not deprived of NKX3.1 expression this gene still has a function which might differ from its role in prostate development and carcinogenesis. NKX3.1 knock-down altered the expression of genes highly relevant in prostate cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis. In LNCaP NKX3.1 most probably plays the role of an androgenregulated transcription factor whose down-regulation is paralleled by anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects. Since NKX3.1 can regulate AR expression it may become a target for interference in hormone refractory prostate carcinoma."],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/6151"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/61271"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Migrated from goescholar"],["dc.rights.access","closedAccess"],["dc.subject","NKX3.1; prostate cancer; tumor suppressor; RNA interference"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","Functional analysis of NKX3.1 in LNCaP prostate cancer cells by RNA interference"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In the prostate it is widely accepted that ERβ regulates estrogen signalling, mediating anti-proliferative effects. We used the prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP, PC-3, VCaP, and the non-neoplastic BPH-1. VCaP cells were treated with 1 nmol/L testosterone over 20 passages, yielding the cell line VCaPrev, sensitive to hormone therapies. In contrast, LNCaP cells were grown for more than 100 passages yielding a high passage therapy resistant cell line (hiPLNCaP). VCaP and hiPLNCaP cell lines were treated with 5 μmol/L AA for more than 20 passages, respectively, generating the AAtolerant- subtypes VCaPAA and hiPLNCaPAA. Cell lines were treated with testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), R1881, and the androgen-metabolites 3β-androstanediol and 3α-androstanediol. 3β-androstanediol or 3α-androstanediol significantly reduced proliferation in all cell lines except the BPH-1 and androgen receptor-negative PC-3 and markedly downregulated AR and estrogen receptor alpha (ERα).

In addition, different leupaxin expression levels were observed in PCa cell lines, and at the subcellular level, leupaxin was usually localized in focal adhesion sites. Furthermore, mutational analysis and transfection experiments of LNCaP cells using different green fluorescent protein-leupaxin constructs demonstrated that leupaxin contains functional nuclear export signals in its LD3 and LD4 motifs, thus shuttling between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. We could also demonstrate for the first time that leupaxin interacts with the androgen receptor in a ligand-dependent manner and serves as a transcriptional activator of this hormone receptor in PCa cells. Down-regulation of leupaxin expression using RNA interference in LNCaP cells resulted in a high rate of morphological changes, detachment, spontaneous apoptosis, and a reduction of prostate-specific antigen secretion.

In this report, we show that BI-1 is expressed at various levels in six different human breast cancer cell lines. In order to investigate the function of BI-1 in oestrogen-dependent MCF-7, T-47D and oestrogen-independent MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, the RNA interference technique was used to knock down BI-1 expression specifically. Suppression of BI-1 expression caused a significant increase in spontaneous apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells, whereas MCF-7 and T-47D cells remained almost unaffected. Furthermore, BI-1 expression analysis using a cancer profiling array showed up-regulation of BI-1 expression in cancer samples of breast, uterus and ovary, whereas down-regulated BI-1 expression was identified in stomach, colon, kidney, lung and rectal cancer. In addition, immunohistochemical studies using a BI-1-specific antibody on human breast cancer specimens also revealed that BI-1 is expressed in the majority of cases. Moreover, to analyse whether BI-1 expression is oestrogen receptor-dependent, tumour cells were treated with oestradiol, ICI and tamoxifen: this showed no significant changes in BI-1 expression. Taken together, our results demonstrate that BI-1 expression is differentially deregulated in different cancers and that BI-1 plays an important role in preventing certain breast cancer cells from undergoing apoptosis.
