Abstrakt: Background: Reynoutria multiflora (Thunb.) Moldenke (Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, PM) is a medicinal plant that was an element of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for centuries as a treatment for a wide range of conditions. Recent studies reported that PM suppressed prostate cancer growth in an AR-dependent manner. However, its role and mechanism in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer remain to be explored. This study aims to explore the anti-tumor role and potential mechanism of PM on prostate cancer.
Methods: Cell viability, colony formation, fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), and wound-healing assays were conducted to evaluate the tumor suppression effect of PM on lethal prostate cancer models in vitro. A xenograft mice model was established to detect the impact of PM on tumor growth and evaluate its biosafety in vivo. Integrative network pharmacology, RNA-seq, and bioinformatics were applied to determine the mechanisms of PM in prostate cancer. Molecular docking, cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA), CRISPR-Cas13, RT-qPCR, and WB were collaboratively employed to identify the potential anti-tumor ingredient derived from PM and its corresponding targets.
Results: PM significantly suppressed the growth of prostate cancer and sensitized prostate cancer to AR antagonists. Mechanistically, PM induced G2/M-phase cell-cycle arrest by modulating the phosphorylation of CDK1. Additionally, polygalacic acid derived from PM and its structural analog suppress prostate cancer growth by targeting CDC25B, a master regulator of the cell cycle that governs CDK1 phosphorylation.
Conclusion: PM and its ingredient polygalacic acid suppress lethal prostate cancer growth by regulating the CDC25B-CDK1 axis to induce cell cycle arrest.
