Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Loss or mutation of the phosphate and tensin homologue (PTEN) is a common genetic abnormality in prostate cancer (PCa) and induces platelet-derived growth factor D (PDGF D) signaling. We examined the role of the PTEN/PDGF axis on radioresponse using a murine PTEN null prostate epithelial cell model. METHODS AND MATERIALS: PTEN wild-type (PTEN+/+) and PTEN knockout (PTEN-/-) murine prostate epithelial...
