مستخلص: | Prostate cancer is the most prevalent malignancy in men. While diagnostic and therapeutic interventions have substantially improved in recent years, disease relapse, treatment resistance, and metastasis remain significant contributors to prostate cancer-related mortality. Therefore, novel therapeutic approaches are needed. Statins are inhibitors of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR), the rate-limiting enzyme of the mevalonate pathway which plays an essential role in cholesterol homeostasis. Numerous preclinical studies have provided evidence for the pleiotropic antitumor effects of statins. However, results from clinical studies remain controversial and have shown substantial benefits to even no effects on human malignancies including prostate cancer. Potential statin resistance mechanisms of tumor cells may account for such discrepancies. In our study, we treated human prostate cancer cell lines (PC3, C4-2B, DU-145, LNCaP) with simvastatin, atorvastatin, and rosuvastatin. PC3 cells demonstrated high statin sensitivity, resulting in a significant loss of vitality and clonogenic potential (up to - 70%; p < 0.001) along with an activation of caspases (up to 4-fold; p < 0.001). In contrast, C4-2B and DU-145 cells were statin-resistant. Statin treatment induced a restorative feedback in statin-resistant C4-2B and DU-145 cells through upregulation of the HMGCR gene and protein expression (up to 3-folds; p < 0.01) and its transcription factor sterol-regulatory element binding protein 2 (SREBP-2). This feedback was absent in PC3 cells. Blocking the feedback using HMGCR-specific small-interfering (si)RNA, the SREBP-2 activation inhibitor dipyridamole or the HMGCR degrader SR12813 abolished statin resistance in C4-2B and DU-145 and induced significant activation of caspases by statin treatment (up to 10-fold; p < 0.001). Consistently, long-term treatment with sublethal concentrations of simvastatin established a stable statin resistance of a PC3 SIM subclone accompanied by a significant upregulation of both baseline as well as post-statin HMGCR protein (gene expression up to 70-fold; p < 0.001). Importantly, the statin-resistant phenotype of PC3 SIM cells was reversible by HMGCR-specific siRNA and dipyridamole. Our investigations reveal a key role of a restorative feedback driven by the HMGCR/SREBP-2 axis in statin resistance mechanisms of prostate cancer cells.
