Synthetic androgens suppress the transformed phenotype in the human prostate carcinoma cell line LNCaP.

Abstract excerpt

Experiments have been designed to investigate hormonal effects on the human prostatic carcinoma cell line LNCaP in the presence of complete foetal calf serum. At physiological concentrations (3.3 x 10(-9)M), several derivatives of 17 alpha-methyl-testosterone led to a significant reduction of cell proliferation, inhibition of colony formation in soft agar, change of morphology, induction of a prostate specific...
