Characterization of the Peroxisomal Proteome and Redox Balance in Human Prostate Cancer Cell Lines.

ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer (PCa) is associated with disruptions in cellular redox balance. Given the intricate role of peroxisomes in redox metabolism, we conducted comprehensive proteomics analyses to compare peroxisomal and redox protein profiles between benign (RWPE-1) and malignant (22Rv1, LNCaP, and PC3) prostate cell lines. Our analyses revealed significant enrichment of the "peroxisome" pathway among proteins notably upregulated in androgen receptor (AR)-positive cell lines. In addition, catalase (CAT) activity was consistently higher in these malignant cell lines compared to RWPE-1, which contrasts with previous studies reporting lower CAT levels and increased H₂O₂ levels in PCa tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. To mimic this clinical scenario, we used RNA int
