Drugs that target the tumor vasculature and inhibit angiogenesis are widely used for cancer treatment. Individual tumors show large differences in vascularity, but it is uncertain how these differences affect responsiveness to antiangiogenesis. We investigated this question using two closely related prostate cancer models that differ markedly in tumor vascularity: PC3, which has very low vascul...

BACKGROUND It is extensively supposed that vegetarian diet could affect cancer progress and increase the influence of formal chemotherapy. OBJECTIVES The present study was designed to determine the effect of the ethanol Bane skin extract against chemo resistant prostate cancer PC3 cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS PC3 and L929 cells were cultivated and then incubated in the ethanol Bane skin ext...

BACKGROUND Tumour-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a role in tumour progression; however, the spectrum of molecular mechanisms regulating EV secretion and cargo selection remain to be fully elucidated. We have reported that cavin-1 expression in prostate cancer PC3 cells reduced the abundance of a subset of EV proteins, concomitant with reduced xenograft tumour growth and metastasis. ...

The present study aimed to characterize the cytotoxic activity of AexU, an effector-mediating type three secretion system (TTSS) of gram-negative bacteria, in human prostate cancer cells, focusing on the association with β4-integrin expression. The cytotoxic effects of AexU either alone or in combination with chemotherapeutic agents were evaluated using several human prostate cancer cell lines....

The objective of this study was to assess the effect of antiandrogen on the activation of mutated androgen receptor (AR) and its signaling pathway in prostate cancer. We transfected the AR gene with a point mutation at codon 741 (tryptophan to leucine; W741L) into human androgen-independent prostate cancer PC3 cells lacking the expression of AR, and established PC3 cells overexpressing mutant t...

background and objective: free radicals cause many diseases in human and their neutralizing by antioxidants reduces risk of cancers. salvia officinalis from lamiaceae family is one of the valuable plants in traditional medicine. the present study aimed to evaluate the antioxidative and cytotoxic properties of ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of this plant on human prostate and cervical can...

PURPOSE Fyn is a member of the Src family of kinases that we have previously shown to be overexpressed in prostate cancer. This study defines the biological impact of Fyn inhibition in cancer using a PC3 prostate cancer model. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Fyn expression was suppressed in PC3 cells using an shRNA against Fyn (PC3/FYN-). Knockdown cells were characterized using standard growth curves an...

Objective(s): The stress-responsive genes of Sestrin family are recognized as new tumor suppressor genes in breast carcinoma, however, the function of Sestrin family in human prostate cancer is not clear. Ionizing radiation (IR) is known to induce Sestrin gene expression in breast cancer cells. However, the response of Sestrin to IR has not been reported in PC3 prostate cancer cells. Materials ...
