The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the mechanism of action of a pyroglutamate-modified peptide (pE-K092D) on in vitro growth inhibition of MDA-Pca-2b prostate cancer cells. This peptide was derived from a peptide previously isolated from the testis of the lesser spotted dogfish and identified as QLTPEALADEEEMNALAAR (K092D). The effect of the peptide on cell proliferation and cell death mechanisms was studied by flow cytometry. Cellular morphology and cytoskeleton integrity of peptide-treated cells were observed by immunofluorescence microscopy. Results showed the onset of peptide induced early cytoskeleton perturbation, inhibition of autophagy, inhibition of cell proliferation and, at the end, non-apoptotic cell death mechanisms (membrane destabilization and necrosis). All those mechanisms seem to contribute to MDA-Pca-2b growth inhibition by a main cytostatic fate.
