Neuroendocrine differentiation in prostate cancer has received much attention recently because it has been found to be associated with androgen independence and shortened patient survival in some studies. We have investigated the effect of the cytokines interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-2, and IL-6 on the ex

## Abstract Despite improvements in diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer (PCa), treatment is not efficient and 5βyear survival is still low. Initially, the less abundant of cell types, neuroendocrine cells (NE), are involved in regulatory process but their physiological role is not fully understoo
## Abstract The present study evaluated the effects of thimerosal, a vaccine preservative, on cytosolic free Ca^2+^ concentrations ([Ca^2+^]~i~) in human prostate cancer cells (PC3). Thimerosal (10β200βΒ΅M) increased [Ca^2+^]~i~ in a concentrationβdependent manner. The Ca^2+^ signal was reduced part
