Abstract

Abstract Background Prostate cancer (PCa) is a prevalent malignant disease affecting a significant number of males globally. Elevated expression of the Bloom’s syndrome protein (BLM) helicase has emerged as a promising cancer biomarker, being associated with the onset and progression of PCa. Nevertheless, the precise molecular mechanisms governing BLM regulation in PCa remain elusive. Methods The expression of BLM in human specimens was analyzed using immnohistochemistry (IHC). A 5′-biotin-labeled DNA probe containing the promoter region of BLM was synthesized to pull down BLM promoter-binding proteins. Functional studies were conducted using a range of assays, including CCK-8, EdU incorporation, clone formation, wound scratch, transwell migration, alkaline comet assay, xenograft mouse model, and H&E staining. Mechanistic studies were carried out using various techniques, including streptavidin-agarose-mediated DNA pull-down, mass spectrometry (MS), immunofluorescence (IF), dual luciferase reporter assay system, RT-qPCR, ChIP-qPCR, co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP), and western blot. Results The results revealed significant upregulation of BLM in human PCa tissues, and its overexpression was associated with an unfavorable prognosis in PCa patients. Increased BLM expression showed significant correlations with advanced clinical stage (P = 0.022) and Gleason grade (P = 0.006). In vitro experiments demonstrated that BLM knockdown exerted inhibitory effects on cell proliferation, clone formation, invasion, and migration. Furthermore, PARP1 (poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1) was identified as a BLM promoter-binding protein. Further investigations revealed that the downregulation of PARP1 led to increased BLM promoter activity and expression, while the overexpression of PARP1 exerted opposite effects. Through mechanistic studies, we elucidated that the interaction between PARP1 and HSP90AB1 (heat shock protein alpha family class B) enhanced the transcriptional regulation of BLM by counteracting the inhibitory influence of PARP1 on BLM. Furthermore, the combination treatment of olaparib with ML216 demonstrated enhanced inhibitory effects on cell proliferation, clone formation, invasion, and migration. It also induced more severe DNA damage in vitro and exhibited superior inhibitory effects on the proliferation of PC3 xenograft tumors in vivo. Conclusions The results of this study underscore the significance of BLM overexpression as a prognostic biomarker for PCa, while also demonstrating the negative regulatory impact of PARP1 on BLM transcription. The concurrent targeting of BLM and PARP1 emerges as a promising therapeutic approach for PCa treatment, holding potential clinical significance.
