    Abstract:

    Objective:To investigate the expressions of LRPPRC and Bcl-2 in prostate cancer,and the effects of LRPPRC on apoptosis. Methods:Immunohistochemistry was performed to analyze the expressions of LRPPRC and Bcl-2 on 198 prostate cancer tissues. The correlation between LRPPRC and Bcl-2 expressions was analyzed. The relationship between LRPPRC and Bcl-2 expressions and prognosis was analyzed. siRNA LRPPRC was used to transfect prostate cancer cells to decrease the level of LRPPRC,and the effects on proliferation,apoptosis,the expressions of Bcl-2,Bax and caspase-3 protein were observed. Results:Prostate cancer and prostate hyperplasia tissues highly expressed LRPPRC in 61.6%(122/198) and 18.0%(18/100) of patients,respectively(P<0.001). Prostate cancer and prostate hyperplasia tissues highly expressed Bcl-2 in 49.5%(98/198) and 45.0%(45/100) of patients,respectively(P=0.539). A significant association between the expressions of LRPPRC and Bcl-2 was observed(r=0.179;P=0.012). High expression of LRPPRC combined with Bcl-2 was related with shorter biochemical progress(BCP)-free survival and overall survival(P<0.001). When LRPPRC level being down-regulated by siRNA,the survival rate of prostate cancer cells was decreased,the apoptosis rate was increased,Bcl-2 protein level was decreased,and cleaved caspase-3 protein level was increased. There were no significant effects on Bax expression. Conclusion:LRPPRC expression was increased in prostate cancer tissues. LRPPRC may inhibit endogenous apoptosis of prostate cancer cells. The effect may be related with regulating Bcl-2 expression.
