چکیده
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of PI3K-Akt signaling in prostate cancer cell growth and androgen receptor (AR)-mediated gene expression. Androgendependent LNCaP cells and their androgen-independent counterpart, LNCaP-AI cells, were used. We found that PI3KAkt signaling is elevated in LNCaP-AI cells compared to that in LNCaP cells and is involved in androgen-independent growth. More importantly, PI3K-Akt signaling enhances AR activity and is involved in the induction of AR target genes, such as p21WAF/CIP, a gene with anti-apoptosis activity and associated with androgen-independent growth in human prostate cancer. A receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor also inhibits the PI3K-Akt signaling and compromises AR activity and cell growth. These findings suggest that the PI3K-Akt cell growth survival pathway and its downstream-regulated gene, p21WAF/CIP, are targets for developing novel therapies against prostate cancer, especially those androgen-independent diseases.

Synchronization of Chaotic Fractional-Order Lu-Lu Systems with Active Sliding Mode Control
Synchronization of chaotic and Lu system has been done using the active sliding mode control strategy. Regarding the synchronization task as a control problem, fractional order mathematics is used to express the system and active sliding mode for synchronization. It has been shown that, not only the performance of the proposed method is satisfying with an acceptable level of control signal, but...
