Caveolin-1 (cav-1) is a major scaffolding component of cell membrane invaginations (caveolae). It is involved in sequestering numerous effectors and signaling molecules and has antiapototic activities in prostate cancer. Perineural invasion (PNI) is associated with decreased apoptosis of cancer cells both in human tissues and the in vitro PNI model. We show here that stromal (perineurium) production of cav-1 is involved in a paracrine antiapoptotic loop in PNI. Transforming growth factor-PI is up-regulated in the cancer cells as they approach the nerve and is thought to up-regulate cav-1 in the perineurium of nerves with prostate cancer. Cav-1 is then secreted into the microenvironment and used by prostate cancer cells to inhibit apoptosis. In the in vitro PNI model, this phenomenon is partially reversed by neutralizing cav-1 antibodies or using ganglia from cav-1 knockout mice. Our results show a novel paracrine mechanism used by the prostate cancer in PNI to increase their proliferative activity and decrease apoptosis.
