BACKGROUND. Tranilast is a therapeutic agent used in treatment of allergic diseases, although it has been reported to show anti-tumor effects on some cancer cells. To elucidate the effects of tranilast on prostate cancer, we investigated the mechanisms of its anti-tumor effect on prostate cancer. METHODS. The anti-tumor effects and related mechanisms of tranilast were investigated both in vitro on prostate cancer cell lines and bone-derived stromal cells, and in vivo on severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. We verified its clinical effect in patients with advanced hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC). RESULTS. Tranilast inhibited the proliferation of LNCaP, LNCaP-SF, and PC-3 cells in a dosedependent manner and growth of the tumor formed by inoculation of LNCaP-SF in the dorsal subcutis and in the tibia of castrated SCID mice. Flow cytometry and TUNEL assay revealed induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by tranilast. Tranilast increased expression of proteins involved in induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Coculture with bone-derived stromal cells induced proliferation of LNCaP-SF cells. Tranilast also suppressed secretion of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) from bone-derived stromal cells, which induced their differentiation. Moreover, tranilast inhibited TGF-β1-mediated differentiation of bone-derived stromal cells and LNCaP-SF cell migration induced by osteopontin. In the clinical investigation, PSA progression was inhibited in 4 of 16 patients with advanced HRPC. CONCLUSIONS. These observations suggest that tranilast may be a useful therapeutic agent for treatment ofHRPCvia the direct inhibitory effect on cancer cells and suppression of TGF-β1-associated osteoblastic changes in bone metastasis. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
