It has been previously demonstrated that glycogenes can function as important pleiotropic regulators of tumorigenesis. In this study, we investigated the function of endoplasmic reticulum mannosyl-oligosaccharide 1, 2-alpha-mannosidase (MAN1B1) on the behavior of prostate cancer cells and found that overexpression of MAN1B1 in androgen-independent PC3 cells reduced cellular migration. We extended the analysis to an androgen dependent cell line, LNCaP, and another androgen independent cell line, LNCaP-AI, observing a similar migratory phenotype. By using quantitative proteomics, we found the downregulation of vimentin expression when PC3 or LNCaP-AI cells with overexpressed MAN1B1. The current study suggests that MAN1B1 may regulate cellular migration and promote epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype in prostate cancer cells.
