Abstract
Objective: To explore the possibility of promoting tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced apoptosis in prostate cancer PC-3 cell by inhibiting Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5). Methods: MTT assay, flow cytometry, Western blot assay and qRT-PCR assay were deployed to detect the cell viability, apoptosis and apoptotic markers in KLF5-inhibited and TRAIL-induced PC-3 cells. Results: After KLF5 was inhibited in TRAIL-induced PC-3 cells, cell viability reduced, apoptosis enhanced, the expressions of DR4 and DR5 increased while the expression of cellular fas-associated death domain-like interleukin-1β converting enzyme inhibitory protein (c-FLIP) decreased. Conclusion: Inhibiting KLF5 suppresses cell viability by promoting TRAIL-induced apoptosis in prostate cancer cell PC-3. It may be a potential means to treat hormone-insensitive prostate cancer.
