Basal and metal‐induced expression of metallothionein isoform 1 and 2 genes in the RWPE‐1 human prostate epithelial cell line
22 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
The human prostate gland has low basal expression of the metallothionein-1 and -2 proteins. In prostate cancer, MT-1/2 protein expression is variable and correlates directly with the increasing Gleason score of the tumor. The goal of the present study was to determine if the RWPE-1 cell line is a good model to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the alterations in MT-1/2 expression that occur during the...
