NLRP12 promotes the progression of prostate cancer via glycolysis
To investigate the effect of the nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 12(NLRP12) gene on the malignant progression of prostate cancer,the regulatory role of glycolytic metabolism,and the role of the glycolytic pathway in NLRP12-mediated prostate cancer progression.
Methods
2
Human Protein Atlas(HPA) and The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA) databases were used to analyze the difference in the expression of NLRP12 between cancer tissue and paracancerous tissue,and Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to measure the expression of NLRP12 in normal prostate cells and different prostate cancer cell lines. Prostate cancer cell lines with NLRP12 knockdown or overexpression were established,and their efficiency was verified. CCK8 assay and Transwell assay were used to assess the influence of NLRP12 on cancer cell proliferation,invasion,and migration,and the regulatory effect of NLRP12 on glycolysis was analyzed by measuring glucose consumption,lactate production,and the expression of pyruvate kinase M2 and hexokinase 2. After treatment with the glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose,the indicators for glycolysis and malignant cell behavior were measured to verify whether NLRP12 affects the progression of prostate cancer through glycolysis.
Results
2
Analyses of HPA and TCGA databases and the results of Western blot and qRT-PCR showed a high expression level of NLRP12 in prostate cancer tissue and cells. NLRP12 knockdown reduced the proliferation,invasion,and migration of prostate cancer cells,while NLRP12 overexpression enhanced such abilities. In addition,NLRP12 promoted glycolysis in promote cancer cells,thereby affecting the progression of prostate cancer.
Conclusion
2
There is a high expression level of NLRP12 in prostate cancer tissue and cells,and NLRP12 can promote the progression of prostate cancer by promoting glycolytic metabolism in prostate cancer cells and strengthening the proliferation,invasion,and migration abilities of prostate cancer cells.
