| Research Abstract |
We established androgen-independent prostate cancer cell line from TRAP tumor, and named PCai1, and previously reported the orthotopic metastatic models, and tail vein injection model using PCai1 cells. We investigate the GST-P expression of PCai1 by RT-PCR and Western blot. In addition, using GST-P-siRNA, we investigated the relationship between the cell growth and Reactive Oxygen Species(ROS) in PCai1.PCai1 cells had higher GST-P expression in mRNA and protein levels in Charcoal Stripped-FBS medium than in normal medium. GST-P knocked down by siRNA resulted in significant decrease of the proliferation rate in vitro. On the contrary, DCFH assay revealed that ROS was induced by GST-P-siRNA treat. Tumors metastasized in the bone marrow after intravenous injection expressed high levels of GST-P, while metastatic lesions in the lung and lymph nodes failed to express GST-P as seen in the case of the orthotopic implantation. GST-P might have the important roles in the prostate cancer growth and metastasis by the restriction of ROS.
