A secreted isoform of ErbB3 promotes osteomectin expression in bone

ABSTRACT: The propensity for prostate cancer to metastasize to bone led us and others to propose that bidirectional interaction between prostate cancer cells and bone are critical for the preferential metastasis of PCa to bone. We previous identified a secreted isoform of ErbB3 (p45-sErbB3) from the bone marrow supernatants of patients with prostate cancer and bone metastasis. Immunohistochemical analysis of p45-sErbB3 expression in human specimens showed that p45-sErbB3 was highly expressed in metastatic prostate cancer cells in bone. Here we show that p45-sErbB3 stimulates calvarial bone to secrete factors that increase the invasiveness of prostate cancer cells in Boyden chamber invasion assay. We used gene array analysis to identify p45-sErbB3 regulated osteoblast genes that may enhance the invasiveness of PC-3 cells and found that p45-sErbB3 stimulated the expression of osteonectin, biglycan, and type I collagen in mouse calvaria. We further showed that recombinant osteonectin increases the invasiveness of PC-3 cells and osteonectin neutralizing antibody blocked p45-sErbB3 mediated invasiveness. These results suggest that p45-sErbB3 enhances the invasiveness of PC-3 cells is due, at least in part, to the stimulation of the secretion of osteonectin from bone. Thus, p45-sErbB3 mediates the bi-directional interaction between PCa cells and bone through osteonectin.

Project description:BACKGROUND. Human prostate cancer LNCaP and PC-3 cell lines have been extensively used as prostate cancer cell models to study prostate cancer progression and to develop therapeutic agents. Although LNCaP and PC-3 cells are generally assumed to represent early and late stages of prostate cancer development, respectively, there is limited information regarding comprehensive gene expression patterns between these two cells lines and relating these cells to prostate cancer progression based on their gene expression. METHODS. Comprehensive gene expression analysis was performed in LNCaP and PC-3 cells. Total RNA was isolated from cultured cells and hybridized to Illumina human Ref-8 version 3 BeadChips representing 24,526 transcripts. Bioinformatics approach was applied to identify genes, their functional roles and interaction networks that are unique in either LNCaP or PC-3 cells. RESULTS. We observed large differences in gene expression between LNCaP and PC-3 cells.Using robust statistical analysis and very high significance criteria to identify tractable number of genes 115 and 188 genes were identified uniquely expressed in LNCaP and PC-3 cells, respectively. Genes uniquely expressed in LNCaP cells contained UDP-glucosyltransferases as a signature for this cell line. This cell line demonstrated upregulation of various metabolic pathways on gene expression level. Talα/β, GATA-1 and c-Myc/Max were identified by in silico analysis as possible transcription factors regulating unique LNCaP genes. PC-3 cells were characterized by cytosceleton-related genes, keratins in particular. Several other well known genes (VEGFC, IL8, TGFβ2 and others) scattered throughout literature were identified and summarized in the discussion. CONCLUSIONS. This study demonstrated that LNCaP and PC-3 cells represent two distinct prostate cancer cell lineages. LNCaP cells retain many prostate cell specific properties, whereas PC-3 cells have acquired more aggressive bone-like characteristics following bone metastasis and show little resemblance to prostate cells. Microarray studies confirmed previously published results and provided more information between these two prostate cancer cell lines. Future studies need to consider their similarities and differences in gene expression between localized and metastasized prostate cancer.
