Stromal remodeling, in particular fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation, is
a hallmark of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and solid tumors, including
prostate cancer (PCa). Increased local production of TGF?1 is considered the
inducing stimulus. Given that stromal remodeling actively promotes BPH/PCa
development, there is considerable interest in developing stromal-targeted
therapies. Microarray and quantitative PCR analysis of primary human prostatic
stromal cells induced to undergo fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation with
TGF?1 revealed up-regulation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) producer
reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 4 (NOX4) and
down-regulation of the selenium-containing ROS-scavenging enzymes glutathione
peroxidase 3, thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1), and the selenium transporter
selenoprotein P plasma 1. Consistently, NOX4 expression correlated specifically
with the myofibroblast phenotype in vivo, and loss of selenoprotein P plasma 1
was observed in tumor-associated stroma of human PCa biopsies. Using lentiviral
NOX4 short hairpin RNA-mediated knockdown, pharmacological inhibitors,
antioxidants, and selenium, we demonstrate that TGF?1 induction of NOX4-derived
ROS is required for TGF?1-mediated phosphorylation of c-jun N-terminal kinase,
which in turn is essential for subsequent downstream cytoskeletal remodeling.
Significantly, selenium supplementation inhibited differentiation by increasing
ROS-scavenging selenoenzyme biosynthesis because glutathione peroxidase 3 and
TXNRD1 expression and TXNRD1 enzyme activity were restored. Consistently,
selenium depleted ROS levels downstream of NOX4 induction. Collectively, this
work demonstrates that dysregulated redox homeostasis driven by elevated
NOX4-derived ROS signaling underlies fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation
in the diseased prostatic stroma. Further, these data indicate the potential
clinical value of selenium and/or NOX4 inhibitors in preventing the functional
pathogenic changes of stromal cells in BPH and PCa.
