| Abstract | Prostate cancer (PCa) frequently develops anti-apoptotic mechanisms and acquire resistance to anticancer drugs. Therefore, identifying PCa drug resistance determinants should facilitate designing more effective chemotherapeutic regimens. Recently, we described that the PCPH protein becomes highly expressed in human prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) and in PCa, and that the functional interaction between PCPH and protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ) increases the invasiveness of human PCa. Here, we report that the functional interaction between PCPH and a different PKC isoform, PKCα, confers resistance against cisplatin (Cp)-induced apoptosis to PCa cells. This interaction elicits a mechanism ultimately resulting in the post-translational stabilization and subsequent elevated expression of Bcl-2. Stable knockdown of either PCPH, mt-PCPH or PKCα in PCa cells decreased Ser70-phosphorylated Bcl-2 and total Bcl-2 protein, thereby increasing their Cp sensitivity. Conversely, forced expression of the PCPH protein or, in particular, of the mt-PCPH oncoprotein increased the levels of phosphorylated PKCα concurrently with those of Ser70-phosphorylated and total Bcl-2 protein, thus promoting Cp resistance. Consistently, Bcl-2 knockdown sensitized PCa cells to Cp treatment and, more importantly, reversed the Cp resistance of PCa cells expressing the mt-PCPH oncoprotein. Moreover, re-expression of Bcl-2 in PCPH/mt-PCPH knocked-down PCa cells reversed the Cp sensitization caused by PCPH or mt-PCPH down-regulation. These findings identify PCPH and mt-PCPH as important participants in the chemotherapy response of PCa cells, establish a role for PCPH-PKCα-Bcl-2 functional interactions in the drug response process, and imply that targeting PCPH expression prior to, or simultaneously with, chemotherapy may improve the treatment outcome for PCa patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
