ABSTRACT
Modern research has shown that Cucurbitacin B (Cu B) possesses various biological activities such as liver protection, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor effects. However, the majority of research has primarily concentrated on its hepatoprotective effects, with limited attention devoted to exploring its potential impact on the prostate. Our research indicates that Cu B effectively inhibits the proliferation of human prostate stromal cells (WPMY-1) and fibroblasts (HPRF), while triggering apoptosis in prostate cells. When treated with 100 nM Cu B, the apoptosis rates of WPMY-1 and HPRF cells reached 51.73 ± 5.38% and 26.83 ± 0.40%, respectively. In addition, the cell cycle assay showed that Cu B had a G2/M phase cycle arrest effect on WPMY-1 cells. Based on RNA-sequencing analysis, Cu B might inhibit prostate cell proliferation via the p53 signaling pathway. Subsequently, the related gene and protein expression levels were measured using quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), immunocytochemistry (ICC), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Our results mirrored the regulation of tumor protein p53 (TP53), mouse double minute-2 (MDM2), cyclin D1 (CCND1), and thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) in Cu B-induced prostate cell apoptosis. Altogether, Cu B may inhibit prostate cell proliferation and correlate to the modulation of the p53/MDM2 signaling cascade.
