Abstract

Angiogenesis is associated with prostate cancer (PCa) development and progression. Aberrant expression of C-terminal binding protein (CtBP)2 has been observed in PCa, but whether its change in expression plays a significant role in angiogenesis has not been completely characterized. we attempted to integrate and analyze the genome-wide association study (GWAS) of follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) and CtBP2, the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data and CtBP2 binding data in CistromeMap (18) to explore the mechanism of CtBP2 in PCa, and performed pathway enrichment analysis. We revealed that the top 6 pathways were closely related with angiogenesis. We used siRNA and overexpression plasmids to silence and overexpress CtBP2 expression. Altered expression of CtBP2 affected the expression of VEGFA, FSHR, FHL2 and SMAD3 which are closely related with angiogenesis. In addition, silencing of CtBP2 markedly increased the apoptosis of PCa cells in vitro, and decreased the expression of IL-8, AT2R, CCND1 and MMP9 which are associated with cancer progression. These results highlight the association between CtBP2 and angiogenesis in PCa and indicate that CtBP2 may be a potential therapeutic target for PCa.
