Androgen deprivation therapy, one of the standard treatments for prostate cancer (PCa) induces apoptosis, as well as autophagy in androgen-responsive PCa cells. As autophagy can promote either cell survival or death, it is important to understand its role in PCa treatment. The objective of our study was to elucidate the function of autophagy in lipid droplet homeostasis and survival in androgen-sensitive PCa cells. To produce androgen deprivation, charcoal filtered serum or the androgen inhibitor casodex were used in LNCaP and LAPC4 cells. Autophagy was monitored by immunofluorescence/confocal microscopy and immunoblot analysis. Levels of intracellular lipid droplets and triacyglycerols after the inhibition of autophagy by 3-methyladenine, bafilomycin A1 orsi-ATG5 were quantified by three independent methods, Oil Red O staining, triacyglycerols lipase assay, and nuclear magnetic resonance. Androgen deprivation induced autophagy and the depletion of lipid droplets in both of the androgen-sensitive PCa cell lines examined, whereas the blockage of autophagy by pharmacological or genetic means inhibited lipid droplet degradation and therefore lipolysis and cell growth. In addition, under androgen deprivation, increased colocalization of lipid droplets and autophagic vesicles was observed in LNCaP cells, which can be further enhanced by blocking the autophagic flux. Autophagy mediates lipid droplet degradation and lipolysis in androgen-sensitive PCa cells during androgen deprivation which aids the survival of PCa cells during hormone therapy.
