The Androgen Receptor Negatively Regulates the Expression of c-Met: Implications for a Novel Mechanism of Prostate Cancer Progression
1 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
The precise molecular mechanisms by which prostate cancer cells progress from androgen-sensitive to androgen-insensitive status still remain largely unclear. The hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) plays a critical role in the regulation of cell growth, cell motility, morphogenesis, and angiogenesis. The aberrant expression of HGF/SF and its receptor, c-Met, often correlates with poor prognosis in a...
