Reciprocal cross-talk between Prostaglandin E2 and bone in prostate cancer: a current review

چکیده
In this review we analyzed the role of PGE2 as a possible regulator of bone metabolism and bone metastases in prostate cancer. Published studies were identified by searching computerized bibliographic systems from January 1(st), 2000 to July 1(st), 2011. PGE2 represents a key factor in the modulation of bone metabolism and bone metastatic disease in prostate cancer interacting with bone regulatory signals including the RANK/RANKL/OPG system and Wnt pathways. A high concentration of PGE2 exerts a prevalent stimulatory effect on osteoclastogenesis via OPG/RANK/RANKL axis activation and a inhibitory effect on osteoblastogenesis trough inhibition of Wnt pathway. An inversely low level of PGE2 exerts a stimulatory effect on osteoblastogenesis via activation of the Wnt pathway. Our finding suggests that PGE2 acts as a regulator in maintaining normal bone mass and indicate a mechanism whereby chemical manipulation of PGE2 levels or signaling may be therapeutically beneficial for prostate cancer treatment.

Roles of Renin-Angiotensin System in the Regulation of Prostate Cancer Bone Metastasis: A Critical Review
Mestastatic prostate cancer cells (MPCCs) frequently metastasize to bone, which is a “favorite soil” for colonization and proliferation of MPCCs. Prostate cancer bone mestastasis is tightly associated with tumor-induced bone lesions, most commonly caused from the etiological imbalance between osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic bone resorption, and from the anti-tumor immune response. ...
متن کاملRGD-Binding Integrins in Prostate Cancer: Expression Patterns and Therapeutic Prospects against Bone Metastasis
Prostate cancer is the third leading cause of male cancer deaths in the developed world. The current lack of highly specific detection methods and efficient therapeutic agents for advanced disease have been identified as problems requiring further research. The integrins play a vital role in the cross-talk between the cell and extracellular matrix, enhancing the growth, migration, invasion and ...
متن کاملFunction of estrogen receptor (ER) in gene expression.
Estrogen (E2) plays significant roles in ligand target organs such as the reproductive organs, bone and the brain. This female steroid hormone is well known also to be deeply involved in cancer development in the reproductive organs. The majority of E2 actions are mediated through its nuclear estrogen receptor (ER). ERa and ER~ are members of the steroid/thyroid hormone nuclear receptor superfa...

Our study showed that high circulating estrogens and estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) may be implicated in prostate cancer (PCa) progression, and had higher expression level in African American (AA) than Caucasian American (CA) men. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The objective of this study was to investigate the signaling cross-talk between ERβ and AR in vitro and in vivo level...

The nuclear receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), is expressed in various cancer cells including breast, prostate, colorectal and cervical examples. An endogenous ligand of PPARγ, 15-deoxy-Δ12,14 prostaglandin J2 (PGJ2), is emerging as a potent anticancer agent but the exact mechanism has not been fully elucidated, especially in breast cancer. The present study com...
