Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To better understand the source of neuroendocrine cells associated with human prostate cancer progression, we studied the ability of a cultured prostate cancer cell line, LNCaP, to transdifferentiate into neuroendocrine-like cells in vitro and in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cyclic AMP concentrations were measured in extracts of LNCaP cells cultured in the presence of normal or hormone-deficient medium...
