Novel role for the transient receptor potential channel TRPM2 in prostate cancer cell proliferation

Abstract: We have identified a novel function for a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) protein super-family, TRPM2, in prostate cancer cell proliferation. TRPM2 encodes a non-selective cationpermeable ion channel. We found that selectively knocking down TRPM2 with the small interfering RNA technique inhibited the growth of prostate cancer cells but not of non-cancerous cells. The subcellular localization of this protein is also remarkably different between cancerous and non-cancerous cells. In BPH-1 (benig… Show more

“…In addition, TRPV1 and TRPV2 are up-regulated in patients with metastatic cancer (42)(43)(44). Levels of TRPM2 mRNA are elevated in both prostate cancer tissue and in LnCaP and PC3 cell lines (45,46). This suggests that these channels could play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate carcinoma.…”

“…TRPM2 was shown to modulate hematopoitic cell death though activation of caspases and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) cleavage [49]. Knocking down TRPM2 with siRNA technique inhibited the growth of prostate cancer cells rather than of non-cancerous cells [50]. TRPM2 mRNA was found in many primary breast tumors, but no apparent relationship to survival [51].…”

“…Expression of TRPM2 has been demonstrated in several tumor entities such as insulinoma [25], hepatocellular carcinoma [25], prostate cancer [26], lymphoma [27], leukemia [28] and lung cancer cell lines [29]. TRPM2 activity increases the susceptibility to cell death [30] probably by overloading cells with Ca 2+ (Fig.…”
