Angiogenin undergoes nuclear translocation and stimulates ribosomal RNA transcription in both prostate cancer cells and endothelial cells. The purpose of this study is to assess the anti-tumor activity of neamine, a nontoxic degradation product of neomycin that blocks nuclear translocation of angiogenin. The anti-prostate cancer activity of neamine was first evaluated in a xenograft animal model. It was then examined in the murine prostate-restricted AKT transgenic mice (MPAKT) that develop prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) owing to AKT transgene overexpression. Neamine inhibits xenograft growth of PC-3 human prostate cancer cells in athymic mice. It blocks nuclear translocation of angiogenin, inhibits rRNA transcription, cell proliferation as well as angiogenesis. Neamine also prevents AKT-induced PIN formation as well as reverses fully developed PIN in MPAKT mice, accompanied by a decrease in rRNA synthesis, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis, and an increase in prostate epithelial cell apoptosis. We confirmed that angiogenin is a molecular target for cancer drug development and that blocking nuclear translocation of angiogenin is an effective means to inhibit its activity. Our results also suggested that neamine is a lead compound for further preclinical evaluation.
