摘要: OBJECTIVES To investigate the inhibitory effects of Aurora-A expression in prostate cancer cells on their growth and chemosensitivity. PATIENTS AND METHODS Aurora-A radical prostatectomy specimens obtained from 193 patients were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. We then established PC3 which vector containing short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting was introduced (PC3/sh-A). The sensitivity to docetaxel PC3/sh-A compared with those transfected control alone (PC3/C). RESULTS Immunohistochemistry showed that there various levels most tissues, significantly related Gleason score. Expression both mRNA protein ≈20% PC3/C. In vitro worse than PC3/C, proportion G2-M phase greater 50% concentration decreased 67% Tumour volume nude mice injected smaller Furthermore, treatment bearing tumour (10 mg/kg, once weekly for 4 weeks) achieved a synergistic cytotoxic effect, despite lack an enhanced antitumour effect PC3/C tumours. CONCLUSIONS The suppression using shRNA could be useful therapeutic strategy against androgen-independent cancer, through inhibition as well chemosensitivity.
