OBJECTIVES To assess the effect Of survivin gene expression on the proliferation of prostate cancer (PCa) cells and Study the association Of suvivin and its spliced isoforms gene expression levels with the pathologic grade of PCa.METHODS Gene expression Of survivin and its spliced isoforms in the LNCaP and PC-3 PCa cell lines was determined using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. We knocked down the gene expression of survivin using small interfering RNA and assessed the cell proliferation using the MTS assay. Next, we quantified the gene expression levels Of survivin and its isoforms in prostate biopsy samples (PCa, n = 37; benign prostatic. hyperplasia, n = 13; PCa after androgen deprivation therapy, n = 12) Using the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction method.RESULTS In PCa cells, survivin and survivin-2 alpha and survivin-2B were expressed more than survivin-Delta Ex3. The decrease in survivin gene expression by transfection of siRNA was accompanied by the inhibition of cell proliferation of PCa cells (31% and 25% decreased in LNCaP and PC-3 cells, P
