## BACKGROUND. Most prostate cancer cells respond to initial hormonal therapy; however, some of them eventually acquire resistance to the hormonal therapy. Hormone-independent prostate cancer usually exhibits resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Antioxidant systems are known to be involved
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
## BACKGROUND. Differences in gene expression in prostate cells are believed to be secondary to epithelial-stromal interactions. We theorized that bone matrix may provide a fertile "soil" for prostate cancer by inducing androgen-dependent genes and allowing for androgen-independent growth. METHODS
