Abstract
Aim: Experimental studies have suggested that the antitumor properties of aspirin are attributed to its direct inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity. However, other studies have also suggested that non-COX pathways could be of importance. We studied the effect of aspirin, and its active metabolite sodium salicylate on prostate cancer cell proliferation and cell cycle analysis.
Method: We exposed PNT2 (normal prostate), DU145 (prostatic brain metastasis), PC3 (prostatic bone metastasis) to six physiologically relevant doses (0- 10mM) of aspirin and sodium salicylate. After treatment, proportion of cells in G0/G1, S, and G2/M phases of the cell cycle were quantitated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting.
Result: Our results indicate that aspirin inhibite cell cycle progression in prostate cancer cell. We observed a G0/G1 cell arrest in both PC3 and DU145 with each aspirin treatment as the highest proportion of cells were in G0/G1.The active metabolite, sodium salicylate also indicated a G0/G1 cell arrest in both PC3 and DU145.
Conclusion: This study provides evidence that aspirin inhibits cell cycle progression in prostate cancer cells, which suggests that aspirin may be relevant to prostate cancer progression
