Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The role of androgen receptor (AR) mutations in the initiation of prostate cancer (CaP) remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of an AR mutation on prostate tumorigenesis and to determine the resulting molecular alterations. METHODS: Wild-type AR (AR(WT)) or the CaP-derived K580R AR (AR(K580R)) mutant was stably transfected into SV40-immortalized human prostate...
