RESUMO
Steroid receptor coactivator 3 (SRC-3/p/CIP/AIB1/ACTR/RAC3/TRAM-1) is a member of the p160 family of nuclear receptor coactivators, which includes SRC-1 (NCoA-1) and SRC-2 (TIF2/GRIP1/NCoA2). Previous studies indicate that SRC-3 is required for normal animal growth and is often amplified or overexpressed in many cancers, including breast and prostate cancers. However, the mechanisms of SRC-3-mediated growth regulation remain unclear. In this study, we show that overexpression of SRC-3 stimulates cell growth to increase cell size in prostate cancer cell lines. Furthermore, our results indicate that overexpression of SRC-3 can modulate the AKT signaling pathway in a steroid-independent manner, which results in the activation of AKT/mTOR signaling concomitant with an increase in cell size. In contrast, down-regulation of SRC-3 expression in cells by small interfering RNA decreases cell growth, leading to a smaller cell size. Similarly, in SRC-3 null mutant mice, AKT signaling is down-regulated in normally SRC-3-expressing tissues. Taken together, these results suggest that SRC-3 is an important modulator for mammalian cell growth.
