Abstract excerpt
Androgens and the androgen receptor (AR) are involved both in early tumorigenesis of prostate cancer (PCa) and in androgen-refractory disease. The role of AR signalling has also been highlighted by the fusion gene TMPRSS2:ERG recently identified in the majority of PCa. Several data indicate that re-expression of AR in PCa cell lines confers a less aggressive phenotype. We observed that re-expression of AR in the...
