Abstract
We have found that signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) activation up-regulates ERβ expression in PC14PE6/AS2 lung cancer cells in a preliminary Affymetrix oligonucleotide array study, and we sought to confirm the findings. In this study, we show that IL-6 induced ERβ mRNA an...

Abstract
We demonstrate that the mRNA and protein expression of Klf5, a pro-proliferation transcription factor in breast cancer, was dramatically up-regulated in mouse pregnant and lactating mammary glands. Pg, but not estrogen and prolactin, induced the expression of Krüpple-like factor 5 (KLF5) in multipl...

Abstract
We set out to determine whether the evaluation of multiple antigenic targets would allow the identification of a subset of antigens that are common immunologic targets in patients with prostate cancer.
Using a phage immunoblot approach, we evaluated IgG responses in patients with prostate cancer (n...

Abstract
Health care disparities have been documented in rural populations. The authors hypothesized that breast cancer patients in urban counties would have higher rates of postmastectomy breast reconstruction relative to patients in surrounding near-metro and rural counties.
The authors used the Surveillan...

Abstract
This review describes the pathology, prognosis, current treatment options, and future directions for the management of patients with triple-negative breast cancer. "Triple-negative" tumors lack expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors, and HER2. The subtype comprises some 15% of all breast...

Abstract
Steroid hormone receptors (SHR) are crucial regulators of disease and the basis for clinical intervention in cancers. Recent evidence confirms that microRNAs (miRNAs) impact the pathobiology of hormone-regulated malignancies. Therefore, elucidating miRNA regulation of SHR expression and modulation o...

Abstract
Androgen-dependent and castration-resistant prostate cancer (PC) is usually sensitive to docetaxel chemotherapy. Nevertheless, docetaxel resistance frequently appears after several cycles of treatment, raising the problem of salvage treatment for docetaxel-resistant PC patients. Although the combina...

The median follow-up period was 30.1 months; median overall survival, 15.3 months and median progression-free survival, 7.5 months. During follow-up, 37 patients (67.3%) achieved the PSA response, and 5 of 18 (27.8%) patients with measurable disease showed a partial response. Among the 27 patients w...

Abstract
We have now determined that DHA-mediated up-regulation of SDC-1 induces apoptosis. Bovine serum albumin-bound DHA and exogenous human recombinant SDC-1 ecotodomain were delivered to PC3 and LNCaP cells in the presence or absence of SDC-1 small interfering (si)RNA. In the presence of control siRNA, b...

Abstract
We investigated whether vascularization of androgen-sensitive PCa xenografts changed after ADT and whether such therapy affected radiation response. CWR22 xenografts received combinations of ADT by castration (CWR22-cas) and 15 Gy of single-dose irradiation. At a shortest tumor diameter of 8 mm, vas...

Regarding hormonal therapy, expression of hormone receptors is essential, but not sufficient to accurately predict response to treatment for all patients. To date, numerous data have identified differen...

Abstract
We used several methods to assess interactions between PCa and bone stromal cells using three PCa cell lines: PC3, LNCaP, and the LNCaP derivative, C4-2B.
Co-culture of LNCaP and C4-2B cells with bone marrow stromal cell lines, HS27a and HS5, decreased cell number, as did culture with conditioned me...

Abstract
We previously developed a carborane-containing AR antagonist, 3-(12-hydroxymethyl-1,12-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane-1-yl)benzonitrile (BA341), which was more potent than hydroxyflutamide (4) but acted as an agonist toward LNCaP prostate cancer cells expressing T877A AR mutant. Here, we designed and sy...

Abstract
CYP17 inhibition is a promising therapy for prostate cancer (PC) because proliferation of 80% of PC depends on androgen stimulation. Introduction of isopropylidene substituents onto the linker of biphenylmethylene 4-pyridines resulted in several strong CYP17 inhibitors, which were more potent and se...

We report that histone deacetylase inhibitor LBH589 (panobinostat) is a potent inhibitor of aromatase expression (with an IC(50) value < 25 nM). LBH589 selectively suppresses human aromatase gene promoters I.3/II, which are preferentially used in breast cancer tissue. Furthermore, using the H295R ce...

Abstract
We report that a PIK3CA mutation-associated gene signature (PIK3CA-GS) derived from exon 20 (kinase domain) mutations was able to predict PIK3CA mutation status in two independent datasets, strongly suggesting a characteristic set of gene expression-induced changes. However, in ER+/HER2- BC despite...

Abstract
Cetuximab (100 microg/ml) caused a significant growth inhibition by inducing cell apoptosis in Du145 cells, but not in PC-3 cells. It caused EGFR down-regulation and inhibited EGFR Tyr-845 autophosphorylation in both Du145 and PC-3 cells. However, EGFR phosphorylation at Tyr-1173 and MAPK 44/42 phos...

Abstract
These results strongly suggested that the radiation-resistant property may develop with progression of PCa to androgen-independent status. Not only can the LNCaP and C4-2 PCa progression model be applied for investigating androgen-refractory progression, but it can also be used to explore the develo...

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancers showed a high histological grade. On mammography, triple-negative breast cancers usually presented with a mass (43/87, 49%) or with focal asymmetry (19/87, 22%), and were less associated with calcifications. On ultrasound, the cancers were less frequently seen as non-m...
