ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Chronic stress is well known to promote tumor progression, however, little is known whether chronic stress-mediated regulation of osteoblasts contributes to the migration and invasion of metastatic cancer cells. METHODS:The proliferation, migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells were assessed by CCK-8 and transwell assay. HIF-1? expression of osteoblasts and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers of prostate cancer cells were examined by Western blot. The mRNA level of cytokines associated with bone metastasis in osteoblasts and EMT markers in PC-3 and DU145 cells were performed by qRT-PCR. Functional rescue experiment of cells were performed by using siRNA, plasmid transfection and inhibitor treatment. RESULTS:Isoproterenol (ISO), a pharmacological surrogate of sympathetic nerve activation induced by chronic stress, exhibited no direct effect on migration and invasion of PC-3 and DU145 prostate cancer cells. Whereas, osteoblasts pretreated with ISO promoted EMT, migration and invasion of PC-3 and DU145 cells, which could be inhibited by ?2AR inhibitor. Mechanistically, ISO increased the secretion of CXCL12 via the ?2AR-HIF-1? signaling in osteoblasts. Moreover, overexpression of HIF-1? osteoblasts promoted migration and invasion of PC-3 and DU145 cells, which was inhibited by addition of recombinant knockdown of CXCR4 in PC-3 and DU145 cells, and inhibiting CXCL12-CXCR4 signaling with LY2510924 blunted the effects of osteoblasts in response to ISO on EMT and migration as well as invasion of PC-3 and DU145 cells. CONCLUSIONS:These findings demonstrated that ?2AR-HIF-1?-CXCL12 signaling in osteoblasts facilitates migration and invasion as well as EMT of prostate cancer cells, and may play a potential role in affecting bone metastasis of prostate cancer.
