摘要
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a progressive disease, which severely affects men's health. Here, we sought to analyze the functions and mechanism of action of the tripartite motif protein 52 (TRIM52), a novel prostate basal cell biomarker in BPH. Immunohistochemistry assay was performed in sectioned human BPH tissues, BPH-1 cells, and prostate RWPE-1 cells, to detect the expressions of TRIM52 and NF-κB. Western blotting and qRT-PCR analyses were conducted to measure the relative protein and mRNA expression levels, respectively. Further, lentiviral transfection was performed in BPH-1 and RWPE-1 cells to study the overexpression and siRNA knockdown of TRIM52. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was applied to evaluate the relationship between NF-κB and TRIM52. Furthermore, CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry were employed to analyze cell proliferation and apoptosis. TRIM52 and NF-κB levels were elevated in BPH tissues, and TRIM52 expression positively correlated with NF-κB expression. TRIM52 silencing suppressed the growth of BPH-1 cells and decreased the promoter activity of NF-κB. Moreover, the NF-κB inhibitor, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), suppressed TRIM52-induced proliferation of RWPE-1 cells and inhibited NF-κB promoter activity in oeTRIM52 transfected RWPE-1 cells. Silencing TRIM52 also inhibited TRAF2 ubiquitination in BPH-1 cells. Further, NF-κB promoter activity in siNC transfected cells was enhanced by the recombinant protein TNF-α and inhibited by siTRIM52. TRIM52 accelerated the growth of BPH-1 cells by upregulating NF-κB, and TRIM52 could promote TRAF2 ubiquitination. These findings might contribute to the understanding of the biological functions and action mechanisms of TRIM52 in BPH.
