ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect and mechanism of CKLF-like Marvel transmembrane domain containing 5 (CMTMS) on prostate cancer cell proliferation,migration and invasion.Methods The inhibitory effects of CMTM5 on the migration of DU145 cells were studied in vitro by wound healing assay.The expression of the cell signal pathway PI3K-AKT protein was detected by Western blot.The inhibition of tumor growth was also studied in transplanted prostate cancer nude mice model treated with CMTM5 adenovirus.The expression of CMTM5 and ki-67 in transplanted prostate cancer tissue of the nude mice model was analyzed immunohisochemistically.Prostate tumor volume in the nude mice model and the proliferation were measured two weeksafter.injection..Results Wound healing assay showed that over-expression of CMTM5 can inhibit the migration of DU145 cells.The expression of pAKT and NF-kB was significantly decreased after the overexpression of CMTM5.The tumor volume (573.39 ± 175.24) mm3,weight (0.55 ± 0.11) g and proliferation index of prostate in CMTM5 orthotopic injection nude mice model were significantly smaller and decreased than those in the control group (1482.50 ± 327.86) mm3 and (1.31 ± 0.29) g (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that overexpression of CMTM5 could suppress prostate cancer cell proliferation,migration and invasion.The effect may be conducted by PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.
