Schlafen proteins have previously been linked to leukocyte and intestinal epithelial differentiation. We hypothesized that Schlafen 12 (SLFN12) overexpression in prostate epithelial cells would modulate expression of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4), markers of prostatic epithelial differentiation. Differentiation of the prostate cancer cell line LNCaP and PC-3 was compared after infection with an adenoviral vector coding for SLFN12-GFP (Ad-SLFN12) or GFP only expressing virus (control). Transcript levels of SLFN12, PSA and DPP4 were evaluated by RT-PCR and protein levels by Western blotting. Because Mixed Lineage Kinase (MLK) and one of its downstream effectors (ERK) have previously been implicated in some aspects of prostate epithelial differentiation, we conducted further studies in which LNCaP cells were co-treated with DMSO (control), PD98059 (ERK inhibitor) or MLK inhibitor during transfection with Ad-GFP-SLFN12 for 72 hours. Treatment of LNCaP or PC-3 cells with Ad-SLFN12 reduced PSA expression by 56.6±4.6% (p<0.05) but increased DPP4 transcript level by 4.8±1.0 fold (p<0.05) vs. Ad-GFP-treated controls. Further studies in LNCaP cells showed that Ad-SLFN12 overexpression increased the ratio of the mature E-cadherin protein to its precursor protein. Furthermore, SLFN12 overexpression promoted DPP4 expression either when MLK or ERK were blocked. ERK inhibition did not reverse SLFN12-induced changes in PSA, E-cadherin or DPP4. SLFN12 may regulate differentiation in prostate epithelial cells, at least in part independently of ERK or MLK. Understanding how SLFN12 influences prostatic epithelial differentiation may ultimately identify targets to influence the phenotype of prostatic malignancy.
