Aberrant corticosteroid metabolism in tumor cells enables GR takeover in enzalutamide resistant prostate cancer
12 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
Prostate cancer is driven by androgen stimulation of the androgen receptor (AR). The next-generation AR antagonist, enzalutamide, prolongs survival, but resistance and lethal disease eventually prevail. Emerging data suggest that the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is upregulated in this context, stimulating expression of AR-target genes that permit continued growth despite AR blockade. However, countering this...
