Men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer can develop metastases many years after initial treatment, resulting in a poor prognosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanisms by which signaling through norepineph-rine (NE) may incite relapse of quiescent prostate cancer. We used an unbiased bioinformatics pipeline to examine mechanisms for recurrence related to sympathetic signaling in the bone marrow. A transcription factor cell array iden-ti fied ATF1, RAR, and E2F as key nodes in prostate cancer cells exiting quiescence through adrenergic signaling. Sub-sequent secretome analysis identi fied GAS6 as affecting activity of these three factors, leading to cell cycle reentry. GAS6 expression was downregulated in osteoblasts through activation of the cAMP pathway and was targeted in vitro and in vivo using pharmacological agents (propranolol and phentolamine). Propranolol increased expression of GAS6 by osteoblasts, and phentolamine signi ficantly inhibited expression. Propranolol treatment was suf ficient to both increase GAS6 expression in marrow osteoblasts as well as eliminate the effects of NE signaling on GAS6 expres-sion. These results demonstrate a strong correlation between adrenergic signaling, GAS6 expression, and recurrence in prostate cancer, suggesting a novel therapeutic direction for patients at high risk of metastasis.
