Abstract: , and modulated cell growth through driving G1/S transition via CDK6, CDK2, and Cyclin D1 in prostate cancer cells. Furthermore, PNN accelerated cell invasion, migration and EMT processes of prostate cancer cells, accompanied with the up-regulation of MMP-2, MMP-9, N-cadherin, Vimentin and down-regulation of E-cadherin. Mechanism study demonstrated that the proliferation- and motility-promoting effects of PNN on prostate cancer cells dependent on the activation of CREB, which was reversed by CREB inhibition. More important, PNN activated CREB via PI3K/AKT and ERK/MAPK pathway. Collectively, these findings indicated that PNN plays important roles in prostate cancer tumorigenesis and progression and it is a potential therapeutic target for prostate cancer treatment.
