Metallofullerene Nanoparticles Circumvent Tumor Resistance to Cisplatin by Reactivating Endocytosis
The results suggest that [[email protected]82(OH)22]n nanoparticles overcome tumor resistance to cisplatin by increasing its intracellular accumulation through the mechanism of restoring defective endocytosis. [Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A]
p66Shc is Indispensable for Phenethyl Isothiocyanate-Induced Apoptosis in Human Prostate Cancer Cells
Collectively, these results provide novel insight into the critical role of p66Shc in regulation of phenethyl isothiocyanate-induced apoptotic cell death in human prostate cancer cells. [Cancer Res]
The Synthetic Estrogen Diethylstilbestrol (DES) Inhibits the Telomerase Activity and Gene Expression of Prostate Cancer Cells
Researchers investigated in vitro the effect of synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol on telomerase activity and on gene expression in the presence and absence of androgens. [Prostate]
Ozarelix, a Fourth Generation GnRH Antagonist, Induces Apoptosis in Hormone Refractory Androgen Receptor Negative Prostate Cancer Cells Modulating Expression and Activity of Death Receptors
This study explored the in vitro effects on DU145 and PC3 cell lines, two models of androgen-independent prostate cancer, of a fourth generation GnRH antagonist (Ozarelix). [Prostate]
In Vivo Evidence of Gamma-Tocotrienol as a Chemosensitizer in the Treatment of Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer
In the present study, the pharmacokinetics of GammaT3 and the in vivo cytotoxic response of androgen-independent prostate cancer tumor following GammaT3 treatment were investigated. [Pharmacology]
Raltegravir Is a Potent Inhibitor of XMRV, a Virus Implicated in Prostate Cancer and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Researchers found that the retroviral integrase inhibitor, raltegravir, was potent and selective against xenotropic murine leukemia-related retrovirus at submicromolar concentrations, in MCF-7 and LNCaP cells, a breast cancer and prostate cancer cell line, respectively. [PLoS ONE]
CLINICAL RESEARCH
Effect of Dutasteride on the Risk of Prostate Cancer
Researchers conducted a study to determine whether dutasteride reduces the risk of incident prostate cancer, as detected on biopsy, among men who are at increased risk for the disease. [N Engl J Med]
Is Urine Culture Routinely Necessary Before Prostate Biopsy?
These results suggest that routine urine bacterial culture before prostate biopsy is not useful when antibiotic prophylaxis and enema are performed. [Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis]
