Minoxidil may suppress androgen receptor-related functions
Although minoxidil has been used for more than two decades to treat androgenetic alopecia (AGA), an androgen-androgen receptor (AR) pathway-dominant disease, its precise mechanism of action remains elusive. We hypothesized that minoxidil may influence the AR or its downstream signaling. These tests revealed that minoxidil suppressed AR-related functions, decreasing AR transcriptional activity i...

Surgical castration synergizes with immunotherapy, but chemical castration has suppressive effects.
متن کاملHOXB13 is co-localized with androgen receptor to suppress androgen-stimulated prostate-specific antigen expression
During the prostate cancer (PCa) development and its progression into hormone independency, androgen receptor (AR) signals play a central role by triggering the regulation of target genes, including prostate-specific antigen. However, the regulation of these AR-mediated target genes is not fully understood. We have previously demonstrated a unique role of HOXB13 homeodomain protein as an AR rep...
متن کاملAmplification of the androgen receptor may not explain the development of androgen-independent prostate cancer.
OBJECTIVE To examine the role of androgen receptor (AR) gene amplification and aneusomy of the X chromosome in the development of antiandrogen-resistant prostate cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty patients with prostate cancer resistant to androgen-deprivation therapy were selected for study. The records of patients with tumours before and after antiandrogen therapy, and with a full clinical...
متن کاملP-231: Androgen Receptor Gene Expression in Azoospermia Men
Background: Androgens are critical steroid hormones in progression of spermatogenesis process and determine the male phenotype that their actions are mediated by the androgen receptor (AR), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. In the Androgen receptor, transactivation domain encoded by exon 1, DNA binding domain encoded by exons 2 and 3, hinge region encoded by part of exon 4, and C-te...
