Aim: To explore the role and mechanism of long noncoding RNA AC245100.4 and NR4A3 in prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: RNA-sequencing analysis was used to detect the downstream genes of AC245100.4. A series of gain- and loss-of-function approaches were used to investigate the roles of AC245100.4 and NR4A3. RNA immunoprecipitation was performed to examine the interaction between AC245100.4 and STAT3. Results: AC245100.4 was significantly upregulated in PCa cells and tissues. Knockdown of AC21500.4 significantly inhibited the tumorigenesis of PCa cells. Mechanistically, AC245100.4 deregulated the transcription of NR4A3 via increasing p-STAT3, which acted as a transcriptional repressor of NR4A3. Conclusion: Knockdown of lncRNA AC245100.4 inhibits the tumorigenesis of PCa cells via the STAT3/ NR4A3 axis.

The isomers of citral (cis-citral and trans-citral) were isolated from the Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf oil demonstrates many therapeutic properties including anticancer properties. However, the effects of citral on suppressing human prostate cancer and its underlying molecular mechanism have yet to be elucidated. The citral was isolated from lemongrass oil using various spectroscopic analyses, such as electron ionized mass spectrometry (EI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy respectively. We carried out 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay to evaluate the cell viability of citral in prostate cancer cells (PC-3 and PC3M). Furthermore, to confirm that PC3 undergoes apoptosis by inhibiting lipogenesis, we used several detection methods including flow cytometry, DNA fragmentation, Hoechst staining, PI staining, oil staining, qPCR, and Western blotting. Citral impaired the clonogenic property of the cancer cells and altered the morphology of cancer cells. Molecular interaction studies and the PASS biological program predicted that citral isomers tend to interact with proteins involved in lipogenesis and the apoptosis pathway. Furthermore, citral suppressed lipogenesis of prostate cancer cells through the activation of AMPK phosphorylation and downregulation of fatty acid synthase (FASN), acetyl coA carboxylase (ACC), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGR), and sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP1) and apoptosis of PC3 cells by upregulating BAX and downregulating Bcl-2 expression. In addition, in silico studies such as ADMET predicted that citral can be used as a safe potent drug for the treatment of prostate cancer. Our results indicate that citral may serve as a potential candidate against human prostate cancer and warrants in vivo studies.

The treatment options available for prostate cancer are limited because of its resistance to therapeutic agents. Thus, a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of the resistance of prostate cancer will facilitate the discovery of more efficient treatment protocols. Human phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 4 (hPEBP4) is recently identified by us as an anti-apoptotic molecule and a potential candidate target for breast cancer treatment. Here we found the expression levels of hPEBP4 were positively correlated with the severity of clinical prostate cancer. Furthermore, hPEBP4 was not expressed in TRAIL-sensitive DU145 prostate cancer cells, but was highly expressed in TRAIL-resistant LNCaP cells, which show highly activated Akt. Interestingly, hPEBP4 overexpression in TRAIL-sensitive DU145 cells promoted Akt activation but inhibited ERK1/2 activation. The hPEBP4-overexpressing DU145 cells became resistant to TRAIL-induced apoptosis consequently, which could be reversed by PI3K inhibitors. In contrast, silencing of hPEBP4 in TRAIL-resistant LNCaP cells inhibited Akt activation but increased ERK1/2 activation, resulting in their sensitivity to TRAIL-induced apoptosis that was restored by the MEK1 inhibitor. Therefore, hPEBP4 expression in prostate cancer can activate Akt and deactivate ERK1/2 signaling, leading to TRAIL resistance. We also demonstrated that hPEBP4-mediated resistance to TRAIL-induced apoptosis occurred downstream of caspase-8 and at the level of BID cleavage via the regulation of Akt and ERK pathways, and that hPEBP4-regulated ERK deactivation was upstream of Akt activation in prostate cancer cells. Considering that hPEBP4 confers cellular resistance to TRAIL-induced apoptosis and is abundantly expressed in poorly differentiated prostate cancer, silencing of hPEBP4 suggests a promising approach for prostate cancer treatment.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and before it progresses and metastasizes, the anticancer drug bicalutamide is often administered to patients. Many cases of androgen-dependent prostate cancer develop resistance during treatment with bicalutamide. Therefore, the effect of bicalutamide on androgen-dependent LNCaP prostate cancer cells is of clinical interest. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effects of the anticancer drug bicalutamide on LNCaP prostate cancer cells by using a proteomics approach. Based on the results, 314 proteins were differentially expressed between the LNCaP and LNCaP treated with bicalutamide. The apoptosis pathway associated with differentially expressed proteins was shown in the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome pathway mapper. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome pathway mapper results revealed that the fodrin-mediated apoptosis pathway is associated with the actions of bicalutamide and Western blotting was performed to validate these results. Impact statement We studied bicalutamide’s anticancer action by using proteomics. The effect of bicalutamide on androgen-exposed LNCaP cells was also studied. KEGG identified >1.8-fold differentially expressed proteins between test group cells. KEGG mapper showed fodrin-mediated apoptosis involvement in bicalutamide’s action. The anticancer effects of bicalutamide, which was further confirmed using Western blotting. Therefore, this drug is a potential candidate for understanding bicalutamide’s effect on LNCaP and fodrin can be used as a biomarker monitoring status in metastatic carcinoma.
