## Abstract Lipoprotein lipase (__LPL__) is in chromosome 8p22, site of one of the most common somatic deletions in prostate tumors. Additionally, a CpG island (CGI) was identified in the __LPL__ promoter region. To test the hypothesis that __LPL__ is a tumor suppressor gene, which is inactivated b

u-PA contributes to CaP progression, especially in the metastatic androgen-insensitive state. In vitro, u-PA is expressed by androgen-insensitive, but not androgen-sensitive, CaP cell lines. We hypothesized that in androgen-sensitive CaP an activated ARE represses u-PA expression but in androgen-ins
## Abstract Although most advanced cancers are incurable, the majority of testicular germ cell tumors can be cured using cisplatinβbased combination chemotherapy. The nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway removes most DNA adducts produced by cisplatin, and the low levels of NER in testis tumor c
A novel mRNA isoform (meprin b H ) of the cell-surface protease subunit meprin b was previously identified in human colon cancer cells. The study reported here revealed that this mRNA isoform was identical within the protein coding region and at the 3 H end to the b isoform of normal intestine but t

Using the differential display-polymerase chain reaction technique to identify androgen-responsive genes in the human prostatic tumor cell line LNCaP, we cloned an expression tag homologous to the human pseudoautosomal gene MIC2. The role of MIC2 in the prostate had not previously been studied. We u
