| الملخص: | Introduction<p>The human gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a membrane-bound extracellular glycoprotein with an enzymatic activity that cleaves gamma-glutamyl peptide bonds in glutathione and other peptides and transfers the gamma-glutamyl moiety to acceptors. It has been shown aberrant expression of GGT proteins in human cancers while their expression profiles in prostate cancers are not reported.</p>Methods<p>In this study, we analyzed the expression profiles of all protein-coding GGT genes using the TCGA-PRAD RNA-seq dataset derived from primary prostate cancers. GGT family gene expression profiles were also analyzed using the SU2C/PCF RNAseq dataset derived from aggressive late-stage prostate cancer patients. Androgen modulation of GGT family gene expression was analyzed using multiple NCBI/GEO datasets.</p>Results<p>Our results showed that prostate tissues expressed four major isoforms of GGT family genes (GGT1/5/6/7), of which GGT1 expression was upregulated but GGT6/GGT7 expression was downregulated in cancer tissues compared to benign tissues. However, GGT5 expression was increased along with tumor stage progression and associated with worse progression-free survival. GGT6 expression exhibited a superb AUC value in prostate cancer diagnosis and was associated with favorable progression-free survival. GGT1 expression was highly increased but GGT6/GGT7 expression was largely reduced in ERG-fusion-positive cases. In CRPC tumors, GGT6 expression was suppressed in patients with anti-AR therapies, which was reversed when patients were taken off the treatment. This AR-dependent modulation was confirmed in LNCaP cells and LuCaP35 xenograft models. In addition, compared to CRPC-Adeno tumors, treatment-induced NEPC tumors showed a reduced GGT1 but an elevated GGT7 level, which was in line with higher levels of GGT7 in NEPC H660 cells.</p>Conclusion<p>Our data suggests that GGT6 is a new AR downstream target but GGT7 is a potential NEPC biomarker.</p> |
