Clinical significance of steroid and xenobiotic receptor and its targeted gene CYP3A4 in human prostate cancer
3 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
The steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR) regulates cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, which are key inactivators of testosterone in the liver and prostate. In the present study, we investigated SXR expression in human prostate tissues. We determined SXR immunoreactivity using an anti-SXR antibody in benign (n = 78) and cancerous (n = 106) tissues obtained by radical prostatectomy. Stained slides were evaluated for...
