Hedgehog signaling promotes prostate xenograft tumor growth.
During fetal prostate development, Sonic hedgehog (Shh) expression by the urogenital sinus epithelium activates Gli-1 expression in the adjacent mesenchyme and promotes outgrowth of the nascent ducts. Shh signaling is down-regulated at the conclusion of prostate ductal development. However, a survey of adult human prostate tissues reveals substantial levels of Shh signaling in normal, hyperplas...
متن کاملSonic Hedgehog Signaling Promotes Tumor Growth
Introduction: Several reports have highlighted the role of Hh pathway activation in prostatecancer growth, but the relative contributions of autocrine and paracrine signaling remain unclear.Divergent reports of the presence or absence of autocrine signaling in established human prostatecancer cell lines has not clarified the matter.Materials and Methods: We comprehensively c...
متن کاملGenistein Increases Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Signaling and Promotes Tumor Progression in Advanced Human Prostate Cancer
Genistein is an isoflavone found in soy, and its chemo-preventive and -therapeutic effects have been well established from in vitro studies. Recently, however, its therapeutic actions in vivo have been questioned due to contradictory reports from animal studies, which rely on rodent models or implantation of cell lines into animals. To clarify in vivo effects of genistein in advanced prostate c...
متن کاملInhibition of Hedgehog Signaling Antagonizes Serous Ovarian Cancer Growth in a Primary Xenograft Model
BACKGROUND Recent evidence links aberrant activation of Hedgehog (Hh) signaling with the pathogenesis of several cancers including medulloblastoma, basal cell, small cell lung, pancreatic, prostate and ovarian. This investigation was designed to determine if inhibition of this pathway could inhibit serous ovarian cancer growth. METHODOLOGY We utilized an in vivo pre-clinical model of serous o...
متن کاملAntiandrogen bicalutamide promotes tumor growth in a novel androgen-dependent prostate cancer xenograft model derived from a bicalutamide-treated patient.
Androgen ablation therapies are effective in controlling prostate cancer. Although most cancers relapse and progress despite androgen ablation, some patients experience antiandrogen withdrawal syndrome, in which those treated with antiandrogen show clinical improvement when antiandrogen is discontinued. Although the androgen receptor (AR) is suggested to play an important role in prostate cance...
