摘要: Rapamycin inhibits the FK506-binding protein 12 (FKBP12)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex and causes cell cycle arrest in G1. The precise mechanism growth inhibition by is only partly understood. led to human prostate cancer lines LNCaP PC3 cells after 72 h, ID50: 93 50 nM, respectively. Filter cDNA array analysis showed down-regulation more than 0.75× following genes: follistatin, eukaryotic initiation factor-4E (eIF4E), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), lactate (LDH)-A, ATP synthase, heat shock (HSP)-1. Upregulation 1.5× was found for: bone morphogenetic (BMP)-4, FKBP12, carcinoma embryonic antigen (CEA) precursor, factor (eIF)-3 p36 subunit, latent transforming (TGF) beta binding (LTBP)1. induced BMP4 reduced follistatin expression cells. This resulted a dose-dependent nuclear Smad4 activated SBE4 Smad-reporter, indicating activation TGFbeta/BMP signaling. Combining with PI3K (LY294002) increased inhibition. These findings illustrate that Smad signaling plays role anticancer effects show combination improves
