Hedgehog signaling is active in human prostate cancer stroma and regulates proliferation and differentiation of adjacent epithelium
16 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Contribution of stromal Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is evident in the prostate gland in mice, but needs translation to human tissues if Hh therapeutics are to be used effectively. Our goal was to determine if primary human prostate fibroblasts contain cilia, and respond to prostate Hh signaling. METHODS: Primary human prostate cancer-associated (CAFs), and adjacent non-malignant (NPFs) fibroblasts...
