The expression of PINX1 is decreased in prostate cancer, and the high level of miRNA-501-5p promotes the proliferation of liver cancer cells. However, there is no relevant research on miRNA-501-5p in prostate cancer. miRNA-501-5p can target the 3’UTR of PINX1 mRNA; however, it is unclear whether they affect the migration, invasion, and proliferation of prostate cancer cells. In this paper, PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of miRNA-501-5p and PINX1 in prostate cancer cells PC3, LNCaP, and DU145, and normal prostate epithelial cells RWPE-1. Compared to the normal prostate epithelial cells, miRNA-501-5p expression in prostate cancer cells was increased, and the expression of PINX1 was decreased. The methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay was used to detect the migration, proliferation, and invasion of prostate cancer DU145 cells. It was found that suppressing the expression of miRNA-501-5p or overexpressing PINX1 could inhibit the proliferation and other biological behaviors of DU145 cells; at the same time, the level of Cyclin D1, MMP-2, and MMP-14 protein was decreased, and the protein level of P21 was increased. Moreover, inhibition of PINX1 expression could partially reverse miRNA-501-5p’s inhibitory effect on the migration, invasion, and proliferation of prostate cancer cells. Therefore, miRNA-501-5p targeted PINX1 for down-regulation to promote prostate cancer cell migration, invasion, and proliferation.

NDRG1 (N-myc downstream regulated gene-1) is a metastasis suppressor that is down-regulated in prostate cancer. NDRG1 phosphorylation is associated with inhibition of metastasis and Western blots indicate two bands at ~41 and ~46 kDa. Previous investigations by others suggest the higher band is due to NDRG1 phosphorylation. However, the current study using a dephosphorylation assay and the Phos-tag (phosphate-binding tag) SDS/PAGE assay, demonstrated that the 46 kDa NDRG1 protein band was not due to phosphorylation. Further experiments showed that the NDRG1 protein bands were not affected upon glycosidase treatment, despite marked effects of these enzymes on the glycosylated protein, fetuin. Analysis using RT–PCR (reverse transcriptase–PCR) demonstrated only a single amplicon, and thus, the two bands could not result from an alternatively spliced NDRG1 transcript. Western-blot analysis of prostate cancer cell lysates identified the 41 kDa band to be a truncated form of NDRG1, with MS confirming the full and truncated proteins to be NDRG1. Significantly, this truncated protein was not present in normal human PrECs (prostate epithelial cells). Western-blot analysis using anti-NDRG1 raised to its N-terminal sequence failed to detect the truncated protein, suggesting that it lacked N-terminus amino acids (residues 1–49). Sequence analysis predicted a pseudotrypsin protease cleavage site between Cys49–Gly50. Such cleavage of NDRG1 in cancer cells may result in loss of NDRG1 tumour suppressive activity.
