Abstract Background: This study aimed to identify androgen receptor variant 7 (AR-V7)-related RNAs affecting Abiraterone treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) using RNA-sequencing. Methods: To identify AR-V7-related RNAs affecting Abiraterone treatment of CRPC, a series of in vitro experiments were employed, including cell proliferation assay, cell apoptosis assay, Western blot analysis, and Real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). After RNA-sequencing, the differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs and DE long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were screened and the lncRNA-mRNA pairs were identified. In addition, enrichment and Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses were performed. Finally, the mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) network was built, along with survival analysis. Results: A total of 1,387 AR-V7-related RNAs affecting Abiraterone treatment of CRPC were identified. The enrichment analysis showed that the target genes of DEmRNAs and DElncRNAs were primarily involved in cancer-related pathways, including the ErbB signaling pathway, pathways in cancer, and basal cell carcinoma. In addition, notch receptor 1 (NOTCH1), ionotropic NMDA glutamate receptor type subunit 1 (GRIN1), U-box containing protein 1 (STUB1), and mitogen-activated protein kinase 7 (MAP2K7) with high degrees in the PPI network. Moreover, MAP2K7 was regulated by hsa-miR-6825-5p, which in turn was regulated by MAFG-AS1 lncRNA in the ceRNA network. The survival analysis revealed that a total of four lncRNAs, including MAFG-AS1, and 17 mRNAs, including high muscle blind-like splicing regulator 2 (MBNL2), were associated with disease-free survival (RFS). Among them, only MBNL2 overexpression correlated with good survival outcome. The NOTCH1, GRIN1, STUB1, MBNL2, and ErbB signaling pathways are likely related to the efficacy of Abiraterone in CRPC treatment. Moreover, the MAFG-AS1-hsa-miR-6825-5p-MAP2K7 axis could be a therapeutic target for Abiraterone in CRPC treatment.Conclusions: NOTCH1, GRIN1, STUB1, MBNL2, and the ErbB signaling pathway may relate to the progression of CRPC. MAFG-AS1-hsa-miR-6825-5p-MAP2K7 axis might be a potential therapeutic target for Abiraterone in CRPC.

cir-ITCH, a well-known tumor-suppressive circular RNA, plays a critical role in different cancers. However, its expression and functional role in prostate cancer (PCa) are unclear. Herein, we explored the potential mechanism and tumor-inhibiting role of cir-ITCH in PCa. Using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay, we analyzed the expression of cir-ITCH in PCa and paired adjacent nontumor tissue samples resected during surgical operation, as well as in two cell lines of human PCa (LNCaP and PC-3) and the immortalized normal prostate epithelial cell line (RWPE-1). Cell viability and migration of PCa cell lines were evaluated using CCK-8 and wound-healing assays. Expression of key proteins of the Wnt/β-catenin and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways was detected using western blotting. We found that cir-ITCH expression was typically downregulated in the tissues and cell lines of PCa compared to that in the peritumoral tissue and in RWPE-1 cells, respectively. The results showed that cir-ITCH overexpression significantly inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of human PCa cells and that reciprocal inhibition of expression occurred between cir-ITCH and miR-17. Proteins in the Wnt/β-catenin and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways were downregulated by overexpression of cir-ITCH both in androgen receptor-positive LNCaP cells and androgen receptor-negative PC-3 cells. Taken together, these data demonstrated that cir-ITCH plays a tumor-suppressive role in human PCa cells, partly through the Wnt/β-catenin and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways. Thus, cir-ITCH may serve as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of PCa, especially castration-resistant prostate cancer.
