The gene maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK) was identified to be highly correlated with cell cycle and prostate cancer associated genes like UBE2C, TOP2A, CCNB2 and AURKB, and was therefore further included into validation and functional experiments. The association between MELK gene expression and high-risk prostate cancer was validated in an independent patient cohort (p &amp;lt; 0.005, n = 79). Furthermore, our finding was supported by a public microarray dataset showing a higher MELK expression in prostate cancer patients with biochemical relapse. Immunohistochemical analysis using a tissue microarray (n = 94) revealed increased MELK protein expression in prostate cancer tissues of high Gleason scores. Knockdown of MELK decreased cell viability in PC3 and LNCaP cells. Microarray analysis upon MELK knockdown experiments revealed downstream processes like chromatin modification, embryonic development and cell migration. Our findings indicate that the protein serine/threonine kinase MELK represents a promising marker for advanced prostate cancer disease.</jats:p> <jats:p>Citation Format: Ruprecht Kuner, Holger Sültmann, Maria Fälth, Nicole Chui Pressinotti, Jan Christoph Brase, Sabrina Balaguer-Puig, Georg Schäfer, Georg Bartsch, Eberhard Steiner, Helmut Klocker.
