BACKGROUND. Increased expression of caveolin has been associated with prostate cancer progression. In a mouse reconstitution model of prostate cancer, expression of caveolin was inversely related to androgen sensitivity: androgen independent clones had high caveolin expression; low caveolin expressi

BACKGROUND. Androgen-independent growth leads to progressive prostate cancer after androgen-ablation therapy. This may be caused by altered specificity of the androgen receptor (AR), by ligand-independent stimulation of the AR, or by paracrine growth modulation by neuropeptides secreted by neuroendo
Progression to androgen independence remains the main problem that impacts on survival and quality of life in prostate cancer patients. We have investigated the potency of tributyrin, an orally available prodrug of butyrate, to induce growth arrest, differentiation and apoptosis in LNCaP, PC-3 and T
