摘要
Increasing evidence has demonstrated that vitamin D deficiency is associated with prostate cancer progression, but its mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated effects of vitamin D deficiency on growth and metastasis of prostate cancer. Nude mice and Transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate (TRAMP) mice were fed with vitamin D-deficient (VDD) diets. Prostate cancer growth was aggravated in VDD diet-fed nude mice and TRAMP mice. Invasion and metastasis of prostate cancer were exacerbated in VDD diet-fed TRAMP mice. In vitro experiments showed that calcitriol, an active vitamin D3, inhibited migration and invasion in transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 -stimulated and -unstimulated PC-3 and DU145 cells. Mechanistically, calcitriol inhibited epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in TGF-β1 -stimulated and -unstimulated DU145 cells. Unexpectedly, calcitriol did not inhibit Smad2/3 phosphorylation in TGF-β1-stimulated DU145 cells. Instead, calcitriol downregulated expression of proliferation-, metastasis- and EMT-related genes, includes Cyclin D1, MMP7, and Zeb1, by inhibiting interaction between TCF4 and β-catenin. In addition, calcitriol promoted interaction between cytoplasmic VDR and β-catenin, reduced β-catenin phosphorylation and elevated β-catenin/E-cadherin adherens junction complex formation. We provide novel evidence that vitamin D deficiency aggravates growth and metastasis of prostate cancer possibly through promoting EMT in two β-catenin-related mechanisms.
