Abstract
Recent times have witnessed an increase in both incidence and mortality rates of prostate cancer. While some individuals with localized or metastatic cancer may progress slowly with a lower mortality risk, those with intermediate or high-risk cancer often face a higher likelihood of death, despite treatment. Bisphenol A (BPA) has been linked to various cancers, including prostate and breast cancer, yet the relationship between bisphenol S (BPS) and human health remains underexplored. In our study, we employed ssGSEA analysis to evaluate the BPS-associated score in a prostate cancer cohort. Additionally, differential expression analysis identified BPS-related genes within the same group. Through COX and LASSO regression analyses, we developed and validated a BPS-related risk model using ROC curve and survival analyses. A nomogram, integrating clinical characteristics with this risk model, was established for improved predictive accuracy, further substantiated by calibration curve validation. Molecular docking analysis suggested potential binding between SDS and BPS. We also conducted cell proliferation assays on C4–2 and LNCaP prostate cancer cells, revealing increased cell growth at a BPS concentration of 10–7 M, as evidenced by CCK8 and EdU assays. In summary, our findings shed light on the BPS-prostate cancer linkage, identifying BPS-associated genes, establishing a validated risk model, exploring SDS-BPS binding potential, and assessing BPS's effect on prostate cancer cell growth. These insights underscore the need for further investigation into BPS and its impact on human diseases.
期刊介绍:
Toxicology in Vitro publishes original research papers and reviews on the application and use of in vitro systems for assessing or predicting the toxic effects of chemicals and elucidating their mechanisms of action. These in vitro techniques include utilizing cell or tissue cultures, isolated cells, tissue slices, subcellular fractions, transgenic cell cultures, and cells from transgenic organisms, as well as in silico modelling. The Journal will focus on investigations that involve the development and validation of new in vitro methods, e.g. for prediction of toxic effects based on traditional and in silico modelling; on the use of methods in high-throughput toxicology and pharmacology; elucidation of mechanisms of toxic action; the application of genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics in toxicology, as well as on comparative studies that characterise the relationship between in vitro and in vivo findings. The Journal strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that focus on the development of in vitro methods, their practical applications and regulatory use (e.g. in the areas of food components cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals). Toxicology in Vitro discourages papers that record reporting on toxicological effects from materials, such as plant extracts or herbal medicines, that have not been chemically characterized.
