- W4254204620 abstract "LNCaP cells, derived from an androgen-sensitive cell line widely employed as an in vitro model of human prostate cancer, have been shown to express activin receptors. Activin is a local regulator of cellular growth, appears to play a key role in mesoderm induction and differentiation during development, and has been implicated in gonadal tumorigenesis. Follistatin, a monomeric glycoprotein that specifically binds and neutralizes activin, is often coexpressed with activin and, thus, modulates the autocrine/paracrine biological activity of this potent growth factor. We tested the hypothesis that LNCaP growth is modulated by the activin/follistatin system. Recombinant human activin A inhibited [3H]thymidine incorporation in a dose-dependent fashion with an ED50 of approximately 0.43 +/- 0.3 nM. Activin (0.1-3 nM) also inhibited dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation in LNCaP cells. Similarly, recombinant human inhibin A inhibited LNCaP proliferation, but was only 1/100th as potent as activin. Furthermore, activin (3 nM) induced a 3-fold increase in the extent of labeling of low mol wt DNA fragments typical of apoptosis. Activin-induced apoptosis was also indicated by an increase in the number of cells with reduced DNA content, as measured by flow cytometry of activin-treated cells. Both activin-mediated inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis could be completely blocked by recombinant human follistatin. Based upon these results using an in vitro model, we speculate that activin functions locally to oppose androgen-driven cell proliferation and, thus, is a key factor controlling prostate growth. Reduced activin biosynthesis, increased follistatin secretion, or signaling defects in the activin receptor system should be further investigated in future studies as potential mechanisms underlying enhanced androgen-independent growth of human prostate cancer cells." @default.
