ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is a disease that seriously troubles men. However, there are some inevitable limitations in interventional therapy for prostate cancer patients at present, most of which are caused by low selectivity and high toxic side effects due to unclear drug targets. In this study, we identified the target protein of Curcusone C with anti-prostate cancer potential activity and verified its target and mechanism of action. METHODS: Click chemistry-activity based proteomics profiling (CC-ABPP) method was used to find target protein of Curcusone C against prostate cancer. Competitive CC-ABPP, drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) methods were used to verifying the target protein. Moreover, potential mechanism was validated by western blot in vitro and by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, detection of apoptosis in tumor tissue (TUNEL), and immunohistochemical (IHC) in vivo. RESULTS: We found that poly(rC)-binding protein 2 (PCBP2) was the target protein of Curcusone C. In addition, Curcusone C might disrupt the Bax/Bcl-2 balance in PC-3 cells by inhibiting the expression of the target protein PCBP2, thereby inducing mitochondrial damage and activation of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, and ultimately inducing apoptosis of prostate cancer cells. CONCLUSIONS: Curcusone C is a potential compound with anti-prostate cancer activity, and this effect occurs by targeting the PCBP2 protein, which in turn may affect the TGF/Smad signaling pathway and Bax/Bcl-2 balance. Our results laid a material and theoretical foundation for Curcusone C, to be widely used in anti-prostate cancer.
