BACKGROUND. Interleukin (IL)-8 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 are overexpressed in advanced prostate cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate TGF-beta 1-regulated IL-8 expression in prostate cancer cells.METHODS. TGF-beta receptor expression was evaluated by real-time reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. TGF-beta 1-regulated IL-8 expression was determined by real-time RT-PCR, enzyme-linked immunoabsorbance assay (ELISA), nuclear run-on, and IL-8 promoter reporter assay.RESULTS. PC-3MM2 cells expressed type I and type II TGF-beta receptors (T beta RI and T beta RII). LNCaP cells expressed significantly lower level of T beta RII. Constitutive expression of IL-8 was detected in PC-3MM2 cells and LNCaP cells engineered with T beta RII (LNCaP-T beta RII). TGF-beta 1 stimulated IL-8 expression in dose- and time-dependent manners, which was blocked by cycloheximide (CHX) and actinomycin D (ActD). The nuclear run-on and IL-8 luciferase reporter assays show that TGF-beta 1 activated IL-8 gene transcription.CONCLUSIONS. TGF-beta 1 signaling regulates IL-8 expression in prostate cancer cells and may contribute to the overexpression of IL-8 in human prostate cancer.
