Androgen Receptor Overexpression in Prostate Cancer Linked to Purα Loss from a Novel Repressor Complex
15 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
Increased androgen receptor (AR) expression and activity are pivotal for androgen-independent (AI) prostate cancer (PC) progression and resistance to androgen-deprivation therapy. We show that a novel transcriptional repressor complex that binds a specific sequence (repressor element) in the AR gene 5'-untranslated region contains Pur alpha and hnRNP-K. Pur alpha expression, its nuclear localization, and its AR...
