External beam radiation therapy is often used as in an attempt to cure localized prostate cancer (PCa), but is only palliative against disseminated disease. Raf Kinase Inhibitory Protein (RKIP) is a metastasis suppressor whose expression is reduced in approximately 50% of localized PCa tissues and is absent in metastases. Chemotherapeutic agents have been shown to induce tumor apoptosis through induction of RKIP expression. Our goal was to test if radiation therapy similarly induces apoptosis through induction of RKIP expression. The C4-2B PCa cell line was engineered to over express or under express RKIP. The engineered cells were tested for apoptosis in cell culture and tumor regression in mice following radiation treatment. Radiation induced both RKIP expression and apoptosis of PCa cells. Over expression of RKIP sensitized PCa cells to radiation-induced apoptosis; whereas, short-hairpin targeting of RKIP, so that radiation could not induce RKIP expression, protected cells from radiation-induced apoptosis. In a murine model, knockdown of RKIP in PCa cells diminished radiation-induced apoptosis. Molecular concept mapping of genes altered upon manipulation of RKIP expression revealed that an inverse correlation with the concept of genes altered by irradiation. The data presented here indicate that the loss of RKIP, as seen in primary PCa tumors and metastases, confers protection against radiation-induced apoptosis. Therefore, it is conceivable that loss of RKIP confers a growth advantage upon PCa cells at distant sites since loss of RKIP would decrease apoptosis, favoring proliferation.
