Androgen receptor and miR-206 regulation in prostate cancer

LEF1 in androgen-independent prostate cancer: regulation of androgen receptor expression, prostate cancer growth, and invasion.

A major obstacle in treating prostate cancer is the development of androgen-independent disease. In this study, we examined LEF1 expression in androgen-independent cancer as well as its regulation of androgen receptor (AR) expression, prostate cancer growth, and invasion in androgen-independent prostate cancer cells. Affymetrix microarray analysis of LNCaP and LNCaP-AI (androgen-independent var...

Regulation and Methylation of Tumor Suppressor MiR-124 by Androgen Receptor in Prostate Cancer Cells

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer for men in the developed world. Androgen receptor signaling pathway plays an important role in prostate cancer progression. Recent studies show that microRNA miR-124 exerts a tumor suppressive function in prostate cancer. However, the relationship between AR and miR-124 is unclear. In the present study, we found a negative feedback l...

miR-145 suppress the androgen receptor in prostate cancer cells and correlates to prostate cancer prognosis.

Androgen signalling through the androgen receptor (AR) is essential for prostate cancer initiation, progression and transformation to the lethal castration-resistant state. The aim of this study was to characterize the mechanisms by which miR-145 deregulation contribute to prostate cancer progression. The miR-145 levels, measured by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, ...

Androgen receptor and prostate cancer

Androgens play a key role in the development and progression of prostate cancer, and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the first line treatment for advanced disease. Although ADT is initially successful in controlling prostate cancer, many patients eventually become resistant to therapy and progress to develop lethal castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Androgens drive prostate canc...
