Prolonged Exposure to Reduced Levels of Androgen Accelerates Prostate Cancer Progression in <i>Nkx3.1; Pten</i> Mutant Mice
1 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
In this report, we have investigated the relationship between androgen levels and prostate tumorigenesis in Nkx3.1; Pten mutant mice, a genetically engineered mouse model of human prostate cancer. By experimentally manipulating serum levels of testosterone in these mice for an extended period (i.e., 7 months), we have found that prolonged exposure of Nkx3.1; Pten mutant mice to androgen levels that are 10-fold...
