摘要

The autonomic nervous system contributes to prostate cancer proliferation and metastasis.However,the exact molecular mechanism remains unclear.In this study,muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M 1 (CHRM 1) expression was measured via immunohistochemical analysis in human prostate cancer tissue array slides.PC-3,LNCaP,and A549 cells were treated with pirenzepine or carbachol,and the cell migration and invasion abilities were evaluated.Western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR were performed to measure GLI family zinc finger 1 (GLI1),patched 1 (PTCH1),and sonic hedgehog (SHH) expression levels.High expression of CHRM1 was found in early-stage human prostate cancer tissues.In addition,the selective CHRM1 antagonist pirenzepine inhibited PC-3,LNCaP,and A549 cell migration and invasion,but the agonist carbachol promoted the migration and invasion of these three cell lines.Muscarinic signaling can be relayed by hedgehog signaling.These data show that CHRM1 is involved in the regulation of prostate cancer migration and invasion through the hedgehog signaling pathway.
