Inflammation is linked to prostate cancer (PCa) and to other diseases of the prostate. The prostanoid thromboxane (TX)A2 is a pro-inflammatory mediator implicated in several prostatic diseases, including PCa. TXA2 signals through the TPα and TPß isoforms of the T Prostanoid receptor (TP) which exhibit several functional differences and transcriptionally regulated by distinct promoters Prm1 and Prm3, respectively, within the TBXA2R gene. This study examined the expression of TPα and TPß in inflammatory infiltrates within human prostate tissue. Strikingly, TPß expression was detected in 94% of infiltrates, including in B- and T-lymphocytes and macrophages. In contrast, TPα was more variably expressed and, where present, expression was mainly confined to macrophages. To gain molecular insight into these findings, expression of TPα and TPß was evaluated as a function of monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation in THP-1 cells. Expression of both TPα and TPß was upregulated following phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA)-induced differentiation of monocytic THP-1 to their macrophage lineage. Furthermore, FOXP1, an essential transcriptional regulator down-regulated during monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation, was identified as a key trans-acting factor regulating TPß expression through Prm3 in THP-1 cells. Knockdown of FOXP1 increased TPß, but not TPα, expression in THP-1 cells, while genetic reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analyses established that FOXP1 exerts its repressive effect on TPß through binding to four cis-elements within Prm3. Collectively, FOXP1 functions as a transcriptional repressor of TPß in monocytes. This repression is lifted in differentiated macrophages, allowing for upregulation of TPß expression and possibly accounting for the prominent expression of TPß in prostate tissue-resident macrophages.
