Dynamic interplay between sortilin and syndecan-1 has a role in the metabolic switch during prostate cancer progression
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer development and progression relies on the programming of glucose and lipid metabolism, and this involves alterations in androgen receptor expression and signalling. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) provides short-term efficacy for patient treatment, but inevitably promotes a castration-resistant phenotype with poor prognosis. Defining the molecular mechanism that underpins this metabolic programming will have direct significance for prostate cancer patients who have poor expected outcomes and/or receive ADT. Here we show that there is a dynamic balance between sortilin and syndecan-1 that reports on different metabolic phenotypes. Sortilin, enhances glucose metabolism by regulating GLUT1 and GLUT4, while binding progranulin and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) to limit lipid metabolism. In contrast, syndecan-1 interacts with LPL and β3 integrin, to promote lipid metabolism and this process is upregulated in androgen-insensitive cells. We report a hitherto unappreciated molecular mechanism for prostate cancer, which has significance for disease progression and how ADT may promote castration-resistant prostate cancer.
