Inactivated FABP5 suppresses malignant progression of prostate cancer cells by inhibiting the activation of nuclear fatty acid receptor PPAR?.

ABSTRACT: Previous study has suggested that the FABP5-PPAR?-signalling transduction pathway gradually replaces the androgen receptor activated pathway in promoting malignant progression of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cells. To interfere with this newly discovered FABP5-related signalling pathway, we have produced a highly efficient recombinant FABP5 inhibitor, named dmrFABP5. Treatment with dmrFABP5 significantly supressed the proliferation, migration, invasion and colony formation of the highly malignant prostate cancer cells PC3-M in vitro. To test dmrFABP5's suppressive effect in CRPC, the human PC3-M cells were implanted orthotopically into the prostate gland of immunosuppressed mice to produce tumours. These mice were then treated with dmrFABP5 and produced a highly significant reduction of 100% in metastatic rate and a highly significant reduction of 13-fold in the average size of primary tumours. Immunocytochemial staining showed that the staining intensity of dmrFABP5 treated tumours was reduced by 67%. When tested in vitro, dmrFABP5 suppressed the cancer cells by blocking fatty acid stimulation of PPAR?, and thereby prevented it activating down-stream cancer-promoting or inhibiting cancer-suppressing genes. Our results show that the FABP5 inhibitor dmrFABP5 is a novel molecule for treatment of experimental CRPC and its inhibitory effect is much greater than that produced by SB-FI-26 reported in our previous work.

Project description:Fatty acid‑binding protein 5 (FABP5) and androgen receptor (AR) are critical promoters of prostate cancer. In the present study, the effects of knocking out the FABP5 or AR genes on malignant characteristics of prostate cancer cells were investigated, and changes in the expression of certain key proteins in the FABP5 (or AR)‑peroxisome proliferator activated receptor‑γ (PPARγ)‑vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway were monitored. The results obtained showed that FABP5‑ or AR‑knockout (KO) led to a marked suppression of the malignant characteristics of the cells, in part, through disrupting this signaling pathway. Moreover, FABP5 and AR are able to interact with each other to regulate this pathway, with FABP5 controlling the dominant AR splicing variant 7 (ARV7), and AR, in return, regulates the expression of FABP5. Comparisons of the RNA profiles revealed the existence of numerous differentially expressed genes (DEGs) comparing between the parental and the FABP5‑ or AR‑KO cells. The six most abundant changes in DEGs were found to be attributable to the transition from androgen‑responsive to androgen‑unresponsive, castration‑resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cells. These findings have provided novel insights into the complex molecular pathogenesis of CRPC cells, and have demonstrated that interactions between FABP5 and AR contribute to the transition of prostate cancer cells to an androgen‑independent state. Moreover, gene enrichment analysis revealed that the most highly enriched biological processes associated with the DEGs included those responsive to fatty acids, cholesterol and sterol biosynthesis, as well as to lipid and fatty acid transportation. Since these pathways regulated by FABP5 or AR may be crucial in terms of transducing signals for cancer cell progression, targeting FABP5, AR and their associated pathways, rather than AR alone, may provide a new avenue for the development of therapeutic strategies geared towards suppressing the malignant progression to CRPC cells.
