Abstract: Aim and Methods To investigate the effect of UCN-01(7-hydroxystaurosporine)on cell migration and invasion ability of DU-145, an invasive human pro state cancer cell line.Results It was found that UCN-01 at no n-cytotoxic doses (100 nmol·L-1)significantly inhibited prostate cancer DU-145 cell invasion and migration behaviors.Moreover, this anti-invasion and migration activity of UCN-01 was associated with an up-regulation of cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin.Conclusion These results indicate for first time that UCN-01 inhibits the invasion and migration of human prostate cancer cells.Thus, clinical application of UCN-01 may contribute to the potential benefit for suppression of prostate cancer invasion and metastasis.

Key words: 7-hydroxystaurosporine(UCN-0 1), prostate, tumor, invasion, migration
