Incretin therapy is a common treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus. We have previously reported an anti-prostate cancer effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist exendin-4. The attenuation of cell proliferation in the prostate cancer cell line was dependent on GLP-1R expression. Here, we examined the relationship between human prostate cancer severity and GLP-1R expression, as well as the effect of forced expression of GLP-1R using a lentiviral vector. Prostate cancer tissues were extracted by prostatectomy and biopsy. GLP-1R was overexpressed in ALVA-41 cells using a lentiviral vector (ALVA-41-GLP-1R cells). GLP-1R expression was detected by immunohistochemistry and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Cell proliferation was examined by growth curves and bromodeoxyuridine incorporation assays. Cell cycle distribution and regulators were examined by flow cytometry and western blotting. In vivo experiments were carried out using a xenografted model. GLP-1R expression levels were significantly inversely associated with the Gleason score of human prostate cancer tissues. Abundant GLP-1R expression and functions were confirmed in ALVA-41-GLP-1R cells. Exendin-4 significantly decreased ALVA-41-GLP-1R cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. DNA synthesis and G1-to-S phase transition were inhibited in ALVA-41-GLP-1R cells. SKP2 expression was decreased and p27Kip1 protein was subsequently increased in ALVA-41-GLP-1R cells treated with exendin-4. In vivo experiments carried out by implanting ALVA-41-GLP-1R cells showed that exendin-4 decreased prostate cancer growth by activation of GLP-1R overexpressed in ALVA41-GLP-1R cells. Forced expression of GLP-1R attenuates prostate cancer cell proliferation by inhibiting cell cycle progression in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, GLP-1R activation might be a potential therapy for prostate cancer.
