Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-activated gene (NAG-1), a divergent member of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily, has been implicated in many cellular processes, including inflammation, early bone formation, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis. Recent clinical studies suggests that a C to G single nucleotide polymorphism at position 6 (histidine to aspartic acid substitution, or H6D) of the NAG-1 protein is associated with lower human prostate cancer incidence. The objective of the current study is to investigate the activity of NAG-1 H6D variant in prostate cancer tumorigenesis in vivo. Human prostate cancer DU145 cells expressing the H6D NAG-1 or wild-type NAG-1 were injected subcutaneously into nude mice and tumor growth was monitored. Serum and tumor samples were collected for subsequent analysis. The H6D variant was more potent than the wild-type NAG-1 and inhibited tumor growth significantly compared to control mice. Mice with tumors expressing the wild-type NAG-1 have greater reduced both body weight and abdominal fat than mice with H6D variant tumors suggesting different activities of the wild-type NAG-1 and the H6D NAG-1. A significant reduction in adiponectin, leptin and IGF-1 serum levels was observed in the tumor bearing mice with a more profound reduction observed with expression of H6D variant. Cyclin D1 expression was suppressed in the tumors with a dramatic reduction observed in the tumor expressing the H6D variant. Our data suggest that the H6D variant of NAG-1 inhibits prostate tumorigenesis by suppressing IGF-1 and Cyclin D1 expression but likely additional mechanisms are operative.
