The androgen and glucocorticoid hormones evoke specific in vivo responses by activating different sets of responsive genes. Although the consensus sequences of the glucocorticoid and androgen response elements are very similar, this in vivo specificity can in some cases be explained by differences in DNA recognition between both receptors. This has clearly been demonstrated for the androgen res...

Androgen ablation is the primary treatment modality for patients with metastatic prostate cancer; however, the role of androgen receptor signaling in prostate cancer development remains enigmatic. Using a series of genetically defined immortalized and tumorigenic human prostate epithelial cells, we found that introduction of the androgen receptor induced differentiation of transformed prostate ...

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed and second leading cause of mortality in men Western World. In initial stages, prostate dependent on androgens for growth which basis androgen ablation therapy. The effects are mediated by Androgen Receptor (AR). Therefore, studies focus identification AR-regulated genes that also highly expressed prostate. STAMP family STAMP1/STEAP2 STAMP2/STEAP4 ...

Background Androgen receptor (AR) mediates androgen actions such as initiation and promotion of spermatogenesis and growth of accessory sex organs. There are two trinucleotide polymorphisms (CAG and GGN repeats) in exon1 of AR gene that are vary in length in population. The CAG and GGN repeats association with infertility is still unknown and this study is planned to assess the distribution of ...

To investigate potential mechanisms for sex differences in the physiologic response to androgens, the present study compared the hormonal regulation of intracellular androgen receptor partitioning and the distribution of androgen receptor immunoreactivity in select brain regions from male and female hamsters. Androgen receptors were visualized on coronal brain sections. Two weeks after castrati...
