LMO2蛋白在前列腺基质细胞中介导的IL-11、FGF-9旁分泌促进前列腺癌细胞增殖与侵袭

背景与目的：前列腺癌多发生于前列腺外周带，前列腺增生多发于前列腺移行带。前列腺疾病的带性差异机制可能与前列腺组织微环境有关。该研究的前期研究提示，不同区带来源的前列腺基质细胞对上皮细胞的作用存在明显差异，基因芯片筛查发现LMO2蛋白在前列腺外周带基质细胞高表达与前列腺癌发生、发展密切相关。该研究旨在分析前列腺基质细胞LMO2基因的表达对前列腺癌细胞系增殖、侵袭能力的影响及其机制。方法：分别应用慢病毒过表达载体和短发卡RNA(shRNA)建立过表达和低表达LMO2的前列基质细胞，利用实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(real-time lfuorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction，RTFQ-PCR)、蛋白[质]印迹法(Western blot)分别检测LMO2 mRNA和蛋白的表达；将不同处理的前列腺基质细胞分别同PC-3细胞共培养，利用CCK-8检测PC-3的增殖能力，利用基质胶侵袭实验检测PC-3的侵袭能力；利用生物素标记的人蛋白抗体芯片检测过表达LMO2的前列腺基质细胞条件培养基中蛋白因子表达变化。结果：成功建立过表达及低表达LMO2的前列腺基质细胞；CCK-8实验及基质胶实验提示，与过表达LMO2的前列腺WPMY-1基质细胞共培养后，PC-3细胞的增殖和侵袭能力增强；与低表达LMO2的CAFs细胞共培养后，PC-3细胞的增殖和侵袭能力降低；蛋白芯片检测发现过表达LMO2后，前列腺外周带基质细胞分泌白介素-11(interleukin-11， IL-11)和成纤维细胞生长因子-9(ifbroblast grouth factor-9，FGF-9)增多。结论：LMO2基因在前列腺外周基质细胞中的高表达可能与前列腺癌的发生、发展有关；过表达LMO2的前列腺基质细胞通过旁分泌IL-11、FGF-9等细胞因子促进前列腺癌细胞增殖与侵袭。

LMO2 in prostate stromal cells promotes prostate cancer cells proliferation and invasion through ;paracrine of IL-11 and FGF-9

Background and purpose:The previous research has found that the prostate stromal cells derived from different prostate zones have distinct effect on prostate epithelial cells. We also revealed that LMO2 protein was highly expressed in PZ stromal cells (PZSCs) and prostate cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) compared with TZ stromal cells. This study investigated the effect of LMO2 protein in prostate stromal cells on proliferation and invasion of prostate cancer PC-3 cells and its mechanisms. Methods:Lentivirus overexpression vectors were used to establish LMO2-overexpressed prostate WPMY-1 stromal cell line. shRNA plasmids were used to suppress LMO2 in CAFs. LMO2 mRNA and protein level of both WPMY-1 and CAFs were evaluated by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) and Western blot. Then, PC-3 cells were co-cultured with different prostate stromal cells and the in vitro proliferation and invasion of PC-3 were measured by CCK-8 and matrigel invasion assays respectively. Results:When co-cultured with LMO2-overexpressed prostate stromal cells, both proliferation and in-vasion of PC-3 were improved. However, when co-cultured with CAFs which have inhibited expression of LMO2, the proliferation and invasion of PC-3 were reduced. The protein array proifling found that both interleukin-11 (IL-11) and ifbroblast growth factor-9 (FGF-9) were enhanced extensively in the supernatant collected from LMO2-overexpressed WPMY-1 cells. Conclusion:The expression of LMO2 in prostate stromal cells could be responsible for development of prostate cancer. Paracrine of cytokines, such as IL-11 and FGF-9, from LMO2-overexpressed stromal cells had effects on the proliferation and invasion of prostate cancer cells.
