TRPM2-L Participates in the Interleukin-6 Pathway to Enhance Tumor Growth in Prostate Cancer by Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) can promote cell proliferation in prostate cancer (PCa). Full-length transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2-L) is highly expressed in PCa. However, the association between IL-6 and TRPM2-L in PCa is unclear. Here, human PCa cell lines, PC-3 and DU-145, were treated with 10 μg/mL tocilizumab, an IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) inhibitor, and the TRPM2-L protein expression in cells was significantly decreased. Cells were stably transfected with TRPM2 short-interfering RNA (siRNA) and cell survival clearly declined. Recombinant IL-6 treatment weakened the effects of TRPM2-siRNA on cell survival. TRPM2-L binds directly to IL-6R in PC-3 and DU-145 cells. The protein expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α was suppressed by reduction with TRPM2-L in PC-3 and DU-145 cells. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were indirectly cocultured with PCa cells, and the invasion and angiogenic activity of HUVECs were enhanced after coculture with PCa cells. However, TRPM2-L reduction in PCa cells significantly decreased the invasion and angiogenic activity of HUVECs compared to the control coculture. In vivo, xenograft tumors were induced using PC-3 cells. Tocilizumab treatment or TRPM2-L reduction clearly suppressed tumor growth. Meanwhile, the injection of mouse recombinant IL-6 weakened the antitumor effects of TRPM2-L reduction. These data demonstrate that the IL-6/TRPM2-L axis in PCa tumor growth is important, and interference of the IL-6/TRPM2-L axis may be a novel approach for PCa therapy.
