Aim
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed genital cancer in men globally. Among patients who develop advanced PCa, 80% are affected by bone metastasis, with a sharp drop in survival rate. Despite efforts, the details of mechanisms of metastasis of PCa remain unclear. SIRT5, an NAD+-dependent deacylase, is hypothesized to be a crucial regulator of various cancers. The role of SIRT5 in cancer has not been extensively studied compared to other SIRTs. In this study, we showed significantly decreased levels of SIRT5 in PC-3M, a highly aggressive PC-3 cell variant. Materials and
Conclusion
This study is the first to demonstrate a relationship between SIRT5 and PCa metastasis, suggesting that SIRT5-mediated inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/NK-kB pathway is reduced for secondary metastasis from bone to other tissues.
Methods
We characterized the differentially expressed proteins between parental and SIRT5 KO PC-3 cells using quantitative proteomics analysis.
Results
A significant increase in expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in SIRT5 KO cells was observed, and the PI3K/AKT/NF-ĸB signaling pathway was found significantly elevated in SIRT5 KO cells by the Gene Ontology annotation and KEGG pathway functional enrichment analysis. Moreover, we confirmed that SIRT5 can bind PI3K by immunoprecipitation analysis.
