Male gender is protective against multiple sclerosis and other T-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. This protection may be due, in part, to higher androgen levels in males. Androgen binds to the androgen receptor (AR) to regulate gene expression, but how androgen protects against autoimmunity is not well understood. Autoimmune regulator (Aire) prevents autoimmunity by promoting self-antigen exp...
Androgen ablation therapy is currently the primary treatment for metastatic prostate cancer. Unfortunately, in nearly all cases, androgen ablation fails to permanently arrest cancer progression. As androgens like testosterone are withdrawn, prostate cancer cells lose their androgen sensitivity and begin to proliferate without hormone growth factors. In this study, we constructed and analyzed a ...
The parent Shionogi mouse mammary carcinoma is androgen dependent but cells that survive hormone withdrawal progress and give rise to an androgen-independent tumor. To determine whether renewed growth might be attributed to the persistence or partial recovery of an androgenic stimulus, we compared the amount of dihydrotestosterone and nuclear androgen receptor in parent and recurrent tumors. Th...
A procedure was developed for measurement of androgen receptors in cytoplasmic extracts of prostates from intact dogs. The protocol utilized exchange saturation analysis at 15 degrees C employing the synthetic androgen R1881 (17beta-hydroxy-17alpha-methylestra-4,9,11-trien-3-one) as the ligand probe and quantitatively detected total cytoplasmic androgen receptor (R(c), androgen-free receptor, a...
In prostate cancer, androgen/androgen receptor (AR) and their downstream targets play key roles in all stages of disease progression. The protein kinase D (PKD) family, particularly PKD1, has been implicated in prostate cancer biology. Here, we examined the cross-regulation of PKD1 by androgen signaling in prostate cancer cells. Our data showed that the transcription of PKD1 was repressed by an...
Calreticulin has been identified previously as one of the androgen-response genes in the prostate. The role of calreticulin in androgen action was studied using androgen-sensitive LNCaP and androgen-insensitive PC-3 human prostate cancer cell lines. Calreticulin appears to be a primary androgen-response gene in cultured LNCaP cells because androgen induction of calreticulin mRNA resists protein...
Hemispheric asymmetry is widely theorised as having a basis in prenatal androgen levels. However, these theories ignore a second round of asymmetrical changes in the brain, which occur at the same time as post-puberty surges in androgens. Hemispheric asymmetry in adults might therefore be explained in terms of the joint effects of prenatal and post-pubertal androgen levels. Evidence is emerging...
The significance of apoptosis in relation to the development and progression of prostate cancer remains largely undefined. bcl-2 is an oncogene that functions by overriding apoptosis. bcl-2 expression was localized to the basal epithelial cells in the normal human prostate with the use of immunohistochemistry. Androgen-dependent and androgen-independent prostate carcinomas were evaluated immuno...
Female androgen excess and male androgen deficiency manifest with an overlapping adverse metabolic phenotype, including abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Here, we review the impact of androgens on metabolic target tissues in an attempt to unravel the complex mechanistic links with m...
Androgen receptor is a ligand-activated transcription factor and a validated drug target for all stages of prostate cancer. Antiandrogens compete with physiologic ligands for androgen receptor ligand-binding domain (LBD). High-throughput screening of a marine natural product library for small molecules that inhibit androgen receptor transcriptional activity yielded the furanoditerpenoid spongia...
