Mechanisms of androgen receptor activation in advanced prostate cancer: differential co-activator recruitment and gene expression.

Abstract excerpt

Prostate tumour growth depends on androgens; hence treatment includes androgen ablation and anti-androgens. Eventually tumours progress and in approximately 30% of patients this is associated with mutation of the androgen receptor. Several receptor variants associated with advanced disease show promiscuous activation by other hormones and anti-androgens. Such loss of specificity could promote receptor activation,...
