Background and PurposeIn benign prostatic hyperplasia, increased prostate smooth muscle tone and prostate volume may contribute alone or together to urethral obstruction and voiding symptoms. Consequently, it is assumed there is a connection between smooth muscle tone and growth in the prostate, but any molecular basis for this is poorly understood. Here, we examined effects of Src family kinase (SFK) inhibitors on prostate contraction and growth of stromal cells. Experimental ApproachSFK inhibitors, AZM475271 and PP2, were applied to human prostate tissues to assess effects on smooth muscle contraction, and to cultured stromal (WPMY-1) and c-Src-deficient cells to examine effects on proliferation, actin organization and viability. Key ResultsSFKs were detected by real time PCR, western blot and immunofluorescence in human prostate tissues, some being located to smooth muscle cells. AZM475271 (10M) and PP2 (10M) inhibited SFK in prostate tissues and WPMY-1 cells. Both inhibitors reduced (1)-adrenoceptor-mediated and neurogenic contraction of prostate strips. This may result from cytoskeletal deorganization, which was observed in response to AZM475271 and PP2 in WPMY-1 cells by staining of actin filaments with phalloidin. This was paralleled by reduced proliferation of wildtype but not of c-Src-deficient cells; cytotoxicity was mainly observed at higher concentrations (>50M). Conclusions and ImplicationsIn human prostate, smooth muscle tone and growth are both controlled by an SFK-dependent process, which may explain their common role in bladder outlet obstruction. Targeting prostate smooth muscle tone and prostate growth simultaneously by a single compound may, in principal, be possible.
