We previously demonstrated H2 relaxin (RLN2) facilitates castrate resistant (CR) growth of prostate cancer (CaP) cells through PI3K/Akt/β-catenin-mediated activation of the androgen receptor (AR) pathway. As inhibition of this pathway caused only ~50% reduction in CR growth, the goal of the current study was to identify additional RLN2-activated pathways that contribute to CR growth. Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based transcriptome and gene ontology (GO) analyses comparing LNCaP stably transfected with RLN2 (LNCaP-RLN2) versus LNCaP-vector identified differential expression of genes associated with cell proliferation (12.7% of differentially expressed genes), including genes associated with the cAMP/PKA and NFκB pathways. Subsequent molecular analyses confirmed that the cAMP/PKA and NFκB pathways play a role in facilitating H2 relaxin-mediated CR growth of CaP cells. Inhibition of PKA attenuated RLN2-mediated AR activity, inhibited proliferation and caused a small but significant increase in apoptosis. Combined inhibition of the PKA and NFκB signaling pathways via inhibition of PKA and Akt induced significant apoptosis and dramatically reduced clonogenic potential, outperforming docetaxel, the standard of care treatment for CR CaP. Immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of tissue microarrays (TMA) in combination with multispectral quantitative imaging comparing RLN2 levels in patients with BPH, PIN and CaP determined that RLN2 is significantly upregulated in CaP vs BPH (p=0.002). The combined data indicate RLN2 overexpression is frequent in CaP patients and provides a growth advantage to CaP cells. A near complete inhibition of RLN2-induced CR growth can be achieved by simultaneous blockade of both pathways.
