Investigating the role of the secreted tumour suppressor Dickkopf-3 in stromal-epithelial interactions in prostate cancer
2018-01-01
Abstract excerpt
DKK3 is a tumour suppressor gene encoding a secreted protein, Dkk-3, which is found in benign prostate and prostate cancer stroma. Dkk-3 maintains normal prostate epithelial acinar morphogenesis by limiting TGF-β/Smad/matrix metalloproteinase signalling. The role of stromal Dkk-3 was investigated in this thesis. The human prostate stromal cell line, WPMY-1, secreted a high level of Dkk-3 that was further increased...
