Hydrogen Peroxide Stimulates Proliferation and Migration of Human Prostate Cancer Cells through Activation of Activator Protein-1 and Up-regulation of the Heparin Affin Regulatory Peptide Gene

Abstract excerpt

It is becoming increasingly recognized that hydrogen peroxide (HP) plays a role in cell proliferation and migration. In the present study we found that exogenous HP significantly induced human prostate cancer LNCaP cell proliferation and migration. Heparin affin regulatory peptide (HARP) seems to be involved in the stimulatory effect of HP, because the latter had no effect on stably transfected LNCaP cells that...
