Therapy that targets the AR pathway is a standard approach for treating PCa including AR antagonists and supraphysiological androgen levels (SAL) used in bipolar androgen therapy. Here, we identified that the two lncRNAs PART1 and ADAMTS9-AS2 mediate in part androgen signaling in PCa cells by examining PCa specimen and response to AR antagonists or SAL as well as functionally by knockdown.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This study utilized expression analysis of tumor tissues (TT) samples in comparison to their corresponding normal tissue adjacent to the tumor (NTAT) counterparts of 50 patients. RNA-seq and treatment of patient prostatectomy samples ex-vivo confirmed regulation of lncRNAs by SAL. Knockdown of both lncRNAs were used to analyze androgen signaling of AR target genes by qRT-PCR and in PCa senescence pathway by analyzing senescence markers. Correlation analyses of patient tumor samples confirmed co-expression. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) used in both LNCaP and C4-2 cells detect AR-lncRNA interaction. Bioinformatic analyses were employed to identify ligand-specific lncRNAs and miRNA interactions with PART1 and ADAMTS9-AS2 and confirmed by treatment of patient prostatectomy samples ex-vivo.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>PART1 and ERVH48-1 were significantly overexpressed in TT samples, ADAMTS9-AS2 expression is lower in TT samples compared to NTAT samples. SAL treatment indicates opposite regulation in two human PCa cell lines and patient tumor samples. While ADAMTS9-AS2 is upregulated, PART1 is repressed by SAL. Further, the obtained data suggest that ADAMTS9-AS2 may act as a co-activator and PART1 as a co-repressor of AR signaling. Interestingly, the knockdown indicates that both lncRNAs ADAMTS9-AS2 and PART1 regulate AR activity and protein level as well as SAL-mediated induction of cellular senescence. Thus, the data suggest that suggest that ADAMTS9-AS2 and PART1 control AR signaling at SAL.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In summary, we identified novel AR signaling pathways that involve lncRNAs oppositely regulated by SAL and in PCa tumorigenesis.</p>","PeriodicalId":14401,"journal":{"name":"International journal of surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143719254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
