Effect of <i>SLCO1B3</i> Haplotype on Testosterone Transport and Clinical Outcome in Caucasian Patients with Androgen-Independent Prostatic Cancer
1 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The organic anion transporter OATP1B3, encoded by SLCO1B3, is involved in the transport of steroid hormones. However, its role in testosterone uptake and clinical outcome of prostatic cancer is unknown. This study examined (a) the SLCO1B3 genotype in cancer cells as well as the uptake of testosterone by cells transfected with genetic variants of SLCO1B3; (b) the expression of OATP1B3 in normal prostate,...
