## Background: The objective of this study was to characterize the calcium mobilizing activity of bombesin-related neuropeptides in pc-3 cells. ## Methods: Intracellular free ca2+ concentration ([ca2+]i) was measured following the administration of bombesin-related neuropeptides using spectrofluo

## Abstract The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a member of the steroid/retinoid receptor superfamily of nuclear receptors and has potential tumorβsuppressive functions in prostate and other cancer types. Vitamin D~3~ (VD~3~) exerts its biological actions by binding within cells to VDR. The VDR then in
## Abstract Soy and its constituent isoflavone genistein inhibit the development and progression of prostate cancer (PCa). Our study in both cultured cells and PCa patients reveals a novel pathway for the actions of genistein, namely the inhibition of the synthesis and biological actions of prostag
## Abstract Although cellβbased studies have shown that Ξ³βtocotrienol (Ξ³TE) exhibits stronger anticancer activities than other forms of vitamin E including Ξ³βtocopherol (Ξ³T), the molecular bases underlying Ξ³TEβexerted effects remains to be elucidated. Here we showed that Ξ³TE treatment promoted apop
## Abstract Melatonin is a natural compound synthesized by a variety of organs. It has been described to possess cell protecting activity in normal cells but was shown to induce apoptotic cell death in cancer cells. We determined to which extent and based on which molecular mechanisms melatonin is
In the tumor microenvironment, carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are considered to play a critical role in the promotion of tumorigenesis. However, the mechanisms that generate CAFs are not well elucidated. To understand how CAFs are generated during primary cancer progression, we investigated
