The expression of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and its catalytic product, O-GlcNAcylation (O-GlcNAc), are elevated in many types of cancers, including prostate cancer (PC). Inhibition of OGT serves as a potential strategy for PC treatment alone or combinational therapy. PC is the second common cancer type in male worldwide, for which chemotherapy is still the first-line treatment. However, the function of inhibition of OGT on chemotherapeutic response in PC cells is still unknown. In this study, we show that inhibition of OGT by genetic knockdown using shRNA or by chemical inhibition using OGT inhibitors sensitize PC cells to docetaxel, which is the most common chemotherapeutic agent in PC chemotherapy. Furthermore, we identified that microRNA-140 (miR-140) directly binds to OGT mRNA 3′ untranslated region and inhibits OGT expression. Moreover, docetaxel treatment stimulates miR-140 expression, whereas represses OGT expression in PC cells. Overexpression of miR-140 enhanced the drug sensitivity of PC cells to docetaxel, which could be reversed by overexpression of OGT. Overall, this study demonstrates miR-140/OGT axis as therapeutic target in PC treatment and provides a promising adjuvant therapeutic strategy for PC therapy.
