Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the expression level of excision repair cross complementary gene 1 (ERCC 1) in PC-3 cells and prostate samples and its relationship with prognosis.

Methods

After siRNA ERCC 1 was transfected into PC-3 cells, the expression level of ERCC 1 protein was detected by Western blot. The MTT method detected cell proliferation activity, andthe Transwell test detected cell migration and invasion capabilities. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the expression level of ERCC 1 protein in 80 PCa and 30 BPH samples, and its relationship with pathological characteristics and prognosis was analyzed.

Results

After siRNA ERCC 1 plasmid was transfected into PC-3 cells, Western blot showed that the expression level of ERCC 1 was significantly reduced. Transwell test showed that the migration and invasion ability of PC-3 cells after siRNA ERCC 1 expression was significantly decreased (P<0.05). IHC indicated that the positive expression rate of ERCC 1 in PCa samples was 71.3%(57/80), and the high expression rate was 23.8%(19/80; IRS≥6); the positive expression rate in BPH samples was 10% (3/30), all are low expression (IRS<6). The expression of ERCC 1 was significantly correlated with preoperative PSA value, Gleason score, pathological stage (pT), lymph node metastasis and positive margins in PCa patients (P<0.05), but not significantly correlated with age (P>0.05). In PCa patients, the biochemical relapse-free survival (BRFS) with low ERCC 1 expression was significantly longer than that of patients with high ERCC 1 expression (P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate COX regression analysis showed that high ERCC 1 expression and pT were independent risk factors with BRFS.

Conclusion

SiRNA ERCC 1 inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of PC-3 cells. The positive expression rate of ERCC 1 in PCa samples is higher, which related to poor differentiation and high invasive characteristics. The high expression of ERCC 1 may be one of the independent risk factors for the prognosis of PCa patients.
