## Abstract ## Background Gene therapy has been identified as a promising treatment strategy for hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC). We report, for the first time, the use of the human osteocalcin (hOC) promoter to control inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) transgene expression in HRPC.

## Abstract ## Background Geneβdirected enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT) based on the __E. coli__ enzyme purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) represents a new approach for treating slow growing tumours like prostate cancer (PCa). Expressed enzyme converts a systemically administered prodrug, fludar
p53 protein expression of 30 hormone-refractory locally recurrent prostate cancers was compared with their matched untreated primary tumour specimens. In addition, androgen receptor (AR) gene amplification and p53 protein immunostaining were compared. p53 positivity increased during hormonal therapy
