Matrix stiffness modulates androgen response genes and chromatin state in prostate cancer

Abstract excerpt

The interplay between the extracellular matrix (ECM) and prostate cancer has been shown to increase ECM stiffness, correlating with more aggressive disease forms. However, the impact of ECM stiffness on the androgen receptor (AR), a key target in prostate cancer treatment, remains elusive. Here, we investigated whether matrix stiffness influences prostate cancer progression, transcriptional regulation, chromatin...
