“…In contrast, tumor suppressor genes including IGFBP3 59 , RGS4 60 , RGS5 61 , IFI16 62 and EPHA5 63 were overexpressed, and SORBS2 (ArgBP2) 64,65 , MARVELD3 66 and CXADR 67 were downregulated in PAR2-KO PC3 cells. Tumor promoter genes such as SPARC 68 , BST2 69 , HCLS1 70 and TSPAN8 71 genes were upregulated PAR2-KO PC3, while CADPS2 72,73 , CALB1 74 , CCNA1 75 , TMPRSS15 76 , SYK 77 , CEACAM5 78 and C3 79,80 genes that are overexpressed in metastasis were significantly downregulated. Overall, this suggests that PAR1 and PAR2 regulate both tumor promoting and suppressing roles by regulating several key oncogenes associated with PCa.…”
