Transgelin,known as an ARA54-associated AR inhibitor,can suppress AR function in LNCaP cells. In addition to these effects,we aimed to elucidate the proapoptotic effects of the protein on LNCaP and its underlying mechanisms,especially the interaction between transgelin and p53. Cell counting,flow cytometric analysis and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-dUTP nick-end labelling assays were applied to measure the proapoptotic effect of transgelin. Using western blotting of p53 and double immunofluorescence staining of p53 with transgelin,we show that transfection of transgelin results in increasing cytoplasmic translocation of p53 and upregulation of p53 expression. We also found an interaction between transgelin and p53 in vivo by mammalian two-hybrid and coimmunoprecipitation assays. The activation of the mitochondria-associated apoptosis pathway was observed in LNCaP cells after transfection with transgelin. These results are indicative of p53-mediated mitochondria-associated apoptotic effects of transgelin on LNCaP cells in addition to its known suppressive effects on the AR pathway.展开更多

This protein is abundant in secretions, regulated by androgens and also present in the vaginal plug. POSVP21 accounts for over 22.3% of soluble proteins from homogenate during the breeding season, 13.3% during the middle season and 5.3% during the hormonal regression season. It is absent during the non-breeding season. POSVP21 is localized in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells and in secretory products in the lumen. It presents an immunological homology with two epididymal proteins with the same molecular weight and a high degree of homology with transgelin from rat （Rattus norvegicus）.展开更多
