Objective To explore the regulatory role of SOCS6/STAT6 pathway in the inflammatory proliferation of
prostate cells.Methods The human prostate cell line RWPE-1 was used to establish an inflammation model.Cells were divided into a control(CON)group and an inflammation-stimulated(INF)group,with the latter subjected to lipopolysaccharide(LPS)treatment to simulate an inflammatory environment.The expression levels of interleukin(IL)-1β、IL-6 and IL-8 were detected by ELISA,and the expression levels of suppressor of cytokine signaling 6(SOCS6),signal transducer and activator oftranscription-6,(STAT6),and phosphorylated STAT6 proteins were detected by Western blot.Results The results showed that after LPS treatment,the expression of SOCS6 protein in RWPE-1 cells significantly decreased,while the expression of phosphorylated STAT6 increased.Conclusions The SOCS6/STAT6 pathway may be involved in regulating the inflammatory proliferation of prostate cells by modulating the phosphorylation level of STAT6 under inflammatory conditions.
