This paper aimed at investigating AS1 expression in prostate cancer (PCa) and its effects on the proliferation and invasion of prostate cancer cells (PCCs). The prostate tissues and the matched adjacent normal prostate tissues excised and preserved during radical prostatectomy in our hospital were collected. The LncRNA NCK1-AS1 expression was detected. PCa patients were followed up for three years to analyze their prognosis. The correlation of LncRNA NCK1-AS1 expression with clinicopathological features was analyzed. Human normal prostate cells and human PCCs were selected, in which LncRNA NCK1-AS1 expression was tested to screen and then transfect the cells. Cell proliferation, invasion and migration were detected. Cell cycles and apoptosis were analyzed. Compared with the adjacent normal tissues, LncRNA NCK1-AS1 was highly expressed in the prostate cancer tissues. Its expression was remarkably different in those with different stages of TNM and with lymphatic metastasis or not. The prognosis of patients with high LncRNA NCK1-AS1 expression was remarkably poorer than that of those with low expression. Compared with the human normal prostate cells, LncRNA NCK1-AS1 expression in the human PCCs remarkably rose, with the greatest difference in 22Rv1 cells. Compared with the Blank group, cell proliferation and the number of plate cloned cells remarkably reduced in the sh-NCK1-AS1 group. Additionally, in this group, the number of invasive and migratory cells remarkably reduced; the expression of invasion-related protein E-cadherin remarkably rose but that of MMP-2 remarkably reduced; cell cycles were arrested and the expression of cycle-related proteins (CDK4, CDK6, cyclin D1) remarkably reduced; the apoptotic rate and the expression of apoptosis-related protein Bax remarkably rose. LncRNA NCK1-AS1 is highly expressed in PCa, so its down-regulation can inhibit PCCs from proliferating and reduce the number of invasive cells.

AbstractAICAR (5-aminoimidazole-4-carbox-amide-1-β-D-ribofuranoside), an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) agonist, has demonstrated antitumor activities for several types of cancers. However, the activity of AICAR on the cell growth and metastasis of prostate cancer has not been extensively studied. Herein we examine the effects of AICAR on the cell growth and metastasis of prostate cancer cells, 22RV1 cells. Cell growth was performed by MTT assay and soft agar assay. Cell apoptosis was examined by Annexin V/PI staining and PARP cleavage Western blot. Cell migration was evaluated by wound-healing assay. The expression of EMT-related protein and the activity of the AMPK/ mTOR-dependent pathway were analyzed by Western blot. In addition, we also tested the effect of AICAR on the chemosensitivity to docetaxel using MTT assay. Our results indicated that AICAR inhibits cell growth, induces apoptosis, attenuates TGF-β-induced cell migration and EMT-related protein expression, and enhances the chemosensitivity to docetaxel through regulating the AMPK/mTOR-dependent pathway. Collectively, these findings support AICAR as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of prostate cancer.
