Autonomic nerve development contributes to prostate cancer progression.
Nerves are a common feature of the microenvironment, but their role in tumor growth and progression remains unclear. We found that the formation of autonomic nerve fibers in the prostate gland regulates prostate cancer development and dissemination in mouse models. The early phases of tumor development were prevented by chemical or surgical sympathectomy and by genetic deletion of stromal β2- a...
متن کاملDoes the autonomic nervous system contribute to the initiation and progression of prostate cancer?
In the July 12 issue of Science magazine, researchers from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, the Durham VA Medical Centre and Duke University published an elegant study demonstrating that the sympathetic nervous system, acting through β2 and β3-adrenoceptors in the prostate, plays an important role in the initiation of prostate cancer, while the parasy...
متن کاملLinking obesogenic dysregulation to prostate cancer progression
The global epidemic of obesity is closely linked to the development of serious co-morbidities, including many forms of cancer. Epidemiological evidence consistently shows that obesity is associated with a similar or mildly increased incidence of prostate cancer but, more prominently, an increased risk for aggressive prostate cancer and prostate cancer-specific mortality. Studies in mice demonst...
متن کاملClinical Progression to Castration-Recurrent Prostate Cancer
Since Huggins and Hodges proved unequivocally that prostate cancer (CaP) regresses in the castrate state, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been the cornerstone of treatment for advanced CaP (Huggins and Hodges 1941). This treatment strategy has taken many forms. Bilateral orchiectomy reliably diminishes androgen production and was the mainstay of treatment in the 1940s. In 1941, Huggins a...
متن کاملStromal Androgen Receptor in Prostate Cancer Development and Progression
Prostate cancer development and progression is the result of complex interactions between epithelia cells and fibroblasts/myofibroblasts, in a series of dynamic process amenable to regulation by hormones. Whilst androgen action through the androgen receptor (AR) is a well-established component of prostate cancer biology, it has been becoming increasingly apparent that changes in AR signalling i...
