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.

Androgen receptor (AR)-null prostate tumors have been observed in 11–24% of patients. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are overexpressed in prostate tumors. Therefore, HDAC inhibitors (Jazz90 and Jazz167) were examined in AR-null prostate cancer cell lines (PC3 and DU145). Both Jazz90 and Jazz167 inhibited the growth of PC3 and DU145 cells. Jazz90 and Jazz167 were more active in PC3 cells and DU145 cells in comparison to normal prostate cells (PNT1A) and showed a 2.45- and 1.30-fold selectivity and higher cytotoxicity toward DU145 cells, respectively. Jazz90 and Jazz167 reduced HDAC activity by ~60% at 50 nM in PC3 lysates. At 4 μM, Jazz90 and Jazz167 increased acetylation in PC3 cells by 6- to 8-fold. Flow cytometry studies on the cell phase distribution demonstrated that Jazz90 causes a G0/G1 arrest in AR-null cells, whereas Jazz167 leads to a G0/G1 arrest in DU145 cells. However, apoptosis only occurred at a maximum of 7% of the total cell population following compound treatments in PC3 and DU145 cells. There was a reduction in cyclin D1 and no significant changes in bcl-2 in DU145 and PC3 cells. Overall, the results showed that Jazz90 and Jazz167 function as cytostatic HDAC inhibitors in AR-null prostate cancer cells.
