| Popis: | Dysregulation of the PI3K-AKT & mTOR pathway by (mutation and/or) deletion of tumor suppressor gene PTEN frequently occurs in human prostate cancer and is therefore considered to be attractive molecule as therapeutic targets. Here, we investigated the antitumor effect of NVP-BEZ235 in human prostate cancer cells dependent on PTEN genotype. In this setting, NVP-BEZ235 induced cell death in the PTEN-independent manner. However, NVP-BEZ235 selectively induced apoptotic cell death in prostate cancer cells presenting wild-type PTEN, DU145, but not in cells with deletion of PTEN, PC3. Treatment with NVP-BEZ235 resulted in autophagic cell death in PC3 cells with PTEN loss of function. Consistently, NVP-BEZ235 treatment did not result in the cleavage of caspase-3 and was link to active LC3-I/II as an indicator of autophagic cell death process, suggesting an alternate route for induction of cell death after exposure to NVP-BEZ235 in PTEN-null prostate cancer cells. These results suggest that PTEN/PI3K/Akt pathways are critical for prostate cancer survival and targeting PI3K signaling by NVP-BEZ235 may be beneficial in prostate cancer independent on PTEN genotype.
