Abstract excerpt
Androgen receptor (AR) contributes to the progression of glioblastoma (GBM), and antiandrogen agents have the potential to be used for the treatment of GBM. However, AR mutation commonly happens in GBM, which makes the antiandrogen agents less effective. Heat shock 27 kDa protein (HSP27) is a well-documented chaperone protein to stabilize ARs. Inhibition of HSP27 results in AR degradation regardless of the...
