Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide Augmented Malignant Transformation and Promoted the Stemness in Prostate Cancer Epithelial Cells

Flow cytometry assay and RT-PCR were utilized to evaluate the CD44+CD133+ stem cell population, the expression of inflammatory cytokines and series tumor stemness biomarkers. Meanwhile, Western blot was used to analyze the alteration of cell signaling associated-molecules by treatment with TSA, an original antifungal antibiotic and a panel inhibitor of histone deacetylase.Results: Our study found that LPS promoted the migration, invasion and stem-like tumoroshpere forming in multiple PCa cell lines including DU145, PC3, 22RV1, LNCaP. LPS also enriched CD44+CD133+ stem cell population and increased the expression of series tumor stemness biomarkers (e.g., CD44, CD133, SOX-2, α-intergrin, Nestin, etc.). TSA was found to prevent tumor cell migration, invasion and tumorosphere forming in DU145 and PC3 cells with increasing tumor suppressive Maspin and reducing both phosphorylation of Stat3 (p-Stat3) and pro-oncogene c-Myc expression in LPS-treated DU145 cells. Furthermore, blocking Stat3 signaling pathway by treatment with TSA and/or small molecule compound Stattic of an p-Stat3 inhibitor effectively abrogated LPS-induced tumorosphere forming with decrease of IL-6, IL-8 and stemness biomarkers CD44, SOX-2 expression.Conclusion: Our data demonstrated that the inflammatory agent of bacterial LPS augmented malignant transformation and promoted the cancerous stemness in PCa epithelial cells. TSA could prevent, at least in part, the LPS-induced malignant transformation by targeting p-Stat3/c-Myc signaling pathway and reducing inflammatory IL-6, IL-8. In addition, the assay of LPS-induced tumorosphere forming could serve as a simple and an easy handling method for targeting cancer stem cells drug screening in vitro in clinical practice.Keywords: tumorosphere forming, prostate cancer, bacterial lipopolysaccharide, epithelial malignant transformation, cancer stemness
