摘要
The zinc metalloprotease, endothelin-converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1), which converts the mitogenic peptide endothelin-1 (ET-1) from its biologically inactive precursor big-ET-1, is commonly upregulated in prostate cancer (PC) cells. Consequently, we have sought to suppress ECE-1 expression by using RNAi as a potentially novel therapeutic approach. Therefore, a synthetic 64-nt short-hairpin RNA (shRNA), designed to target the ECE-1 gene, was expressed in an Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS)-based delivery vector. ECE-1 expression in cells transduced with the vector was examined by real-time PCR and Western blotting. The effects of ECE-1 knockdown on PC cell migration and invasion were studied using a scratch assay and Matrigel invasion. These studies, in vitro and ex vivo, demonstrated that the HVS-shRNA viruses could infect and silence ECE-1 expression effectively in human PC cells. Furthermore, it was observed that ECE-1 knockdown in either stromal cells or epithelial cells could significantly reduce invasion of PC-3 cells in coculture by 33 and 31%, respectively. In addition, suppressed migration was also observed in HVS-ECE-1 shRNA-infected PC-3 cells compared to uninfected and HVS-GFP-infected control cell cultures. These findings highlight the potential tumor-suppressing effect of ECE-1 knockdown in cancer cells and novel strategies for future therapeutic developments in advanced PC.
