The important role of glycine N-methyltransferase in the carcinogenesis and progression of prostate cancer

Glycine N-methyltransferase ( GNMT ) has a role in the metabolism of methionine as well as in gluconeogenesis. It has recently been reported that the GNMT gene acts as a tumor-susceptible gene. However, little is known about the specific function of GNMT in carcinogenesis and malignant progression....

description Glycine N-methyltransferase ( GNMT ) has a role in the metabolism of methionine as well as in gluconeogenesis. It has recently been reported that the GNMT gene acts as a tumor-susceptible gene. However, little is known about the specific function of GNMT in carcinogenesis and malignant progression. To better our understanding of the function of GNMT in prostate cancer, we used siRNAs to examine the effects of GNMT knockdown on cell proliferation and the cell cycle. In addition, the relation between immunohistochemical GNMT expression and clinicopathologic parameters was investigated in 148 prostate cancer tissues. Here, we show that siRNA-mediated GNMT knockdown results in an inhibition of proliferation, and induces G1 arrest and apoptosis in prostate cancer cell lines. Moreover, high cytoplasmic GNMT expression was also correlated with a higher Gleason score ( P

High GNMT cytoplasmic expression had a significant impact on patient disease-free survival in multivariate analysis ( P =0.005). This is the first investigation to reveal the novel finding that GNMT may have an important role in promoting prostate cancer cell growth via the regulation of apoptosis and contribute to the progression of prostate cancer. The modulation of GNMT expression or function may be a strategy for developing novel therapeutics for prostate cancer. GNMT may represent a novel marker of malignant progression and poor prognosis in prostate cancer.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0893-3952</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1530-0285</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1038/modpathol.2011.76</identifier><identifier>PMID: 21572396</identifier><identifier>CODEN: MODPEO</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>New York: Nature Publishing Group US</publisher><subject>631/45/612/1238 ; 692/420/755 ; 692/699/67/589/466 ; Aged ; Antibodies ; Apoptosis ; Biomarkers, Tumor - analysis ; Blotting, Western ; Cell cycle ; Cell Cycle - physiology ; Cell growth ; Cell Line, Tumor ; Cell Proliferation ; Cell Separation ; Disease Progression ; Flow Cytometry ; Gene Knockdown Techniques ; Glycine N-Methyltransferase - metabolism ; Humans ; Laboratory Medicine ; Liver cancer ; Male ; Medical prognosis ; Medicine ; Medicine &amp; Public Health ; Metabolism ; Metabolites ; Middle Aged ; Neoplasm Staging ; original-article ; Pathology ; Prognosis ; Prostate cancer ; Prostatic Neoplasms - enzymology ; Prostatic Neoplasms - pathology ; Proteins ; RNA, Small Interfering</subject><ispartof>Modern pathology, 2011-09, Vol.24 (9), p.1272-1280</ispartof><rights>United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology, Inc. 2011</rights><rights>Copyright Nature Publishing Group Sep 2011</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c479t-b9ba326c751034839e2fc46a5cec5037e2e8386ce5f537cb1c31ddab1a8b64083</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c479t-b9ba326c751034839e2fc46a5cec5037e2e8386ce5f537cb1c31ddab1a8b64083</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,27924,27925</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21572396$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Song, Yoo Hyun</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Shiota, Masaki</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Kuroiwa, Kentaro</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Naito, Seiji</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Oda, Yoshinao</creatorcontrib><title>The important role of glycine N-methyltransferase in the carcinogenesis and progression of prostate cancer</title><title>Modern pathology</title><addtitle>Mod Pathol</addtitle><addtitle>Mod Pathol</addtitle><description>Glycine N-methyltransferase ( GNMT ) has a role in the metabolism of methionine as well as in gluconeogenesis.
