Androgen receptor signalling in prostate: effects of stromal factors on normal and cancer stem cells.

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology
Paul A BerryAnne T Collins

Abstract

The prostate gland is the most common site for cancer in males within the developed world. Androgens play a vital role in prostate development, maintenance of tissue function and pathogenesis of prostate disease. The androgen receptor signalling pathway facilitates that role in both the epithelial compartment and in the underlying stroma. Stroma is a key mediator of androgenic effects upon the epithelium and can regulate both the fate of the epithelial stem cell and potentially the initiation and progression of prostate cancer. Different groups of growth factors are expressed by stroma, which control proliferation, and differentiation of prostate epithelium demonstrating a critical role for stroma in epithelial growth and homeostasis. Paracrine stromal proteins may offer the possibility to control tumour stem cell growth and could permit prostate specific targeting of both therapies and of androgen responsive proteins. The effect of 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone, the more potent metabolite of testosterone, on expression of androgen-regulated genes in stroma from benign prostatic hyperplasia is a key mediator of epithelial cell fate. Global gene expression arrays have recently identified new candidate genes in androgen responsive s...Continue Reading

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins.

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
