Induction of Apoptosis and Growth Suppression by Homeobox Gene TGIFLX in Prostate Cancer Cell Line Lncap.

TGIFLX, a Homoproteins cluster member located on the X chromosome, has a critical role in male reproduction and prostate development. Previous studies have shown the erratic expression of TGIFLX gene in a large proportion of prostate tumors. However TGIFLX function in prostate development remains un...

description TGIFLX, a Homoproteins cluster member located on the X chromosome, has a critical role in male reproduction and prostate development. Previous studies have shown the erratic expression of TGIFLX gene in a large proportion of prostate tumors. However TGIFLX function in prostate development remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the consequences of TGIFLX expression on prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP).Inducible Tet-On gene expression system was used with a regulatory capability by doxycycline induction. In this system, stable LNCaP cells with TGIFLX tet-on plasmid were able to induce TGIFLX expression by doxycycline treatment. TGIFLX gene expression was confirmed by RT-PCR.Induction of gene expression caused cell proliferation decrement and apoptosis increment in LNCaP TGIFLX cells compared with control cells (P
