Download or read book Androgen Action in Prostate Cancer written by Donald Tindall and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Androgens are critical regulators of prostate differentiation and function, as well as prostate cancer growth and survival. Therefore, androgen ablation is the preferred systemic treatment for disseminated prostate cancer. Androgen action is exerted in target tissues via binding the androgen receptor (AR), a nuclear receptor transcription factor. Historically, the gene expression program mediated by the AR has been poorly understood. However, recent gene expression profiling and more traditional single-gene characterization studies have revealed many androgen-regulated genes that are important mediators of androgen action in both normal and malignant prostate tissue. This book will focus on the androgen-regulated gene expression program, and examine how recently identified androgen-regulated genes are likely to contribute to the development and progression of prostate cancer. Recent studies that have attempted to unravel how these genes are deregulated in androgen depletion independent prostate cancer will be included
Download or read book Advances in Rapid Sex Steroid Action written by Gabriella Castoria and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breast and prostate cancers are both hormone-dependent, at least in some stages of their progression. Hormonal manipulation represents an important therapeutic approach. Although most of breast and prostate cancers initially respond to hormone therapy, most tumors reinitiate to growth. Finally, hormone-resistant and metastatic breast and prostate cancers may develop. Thus, the challenge is the dissection of mechanisms by which steroid receptor signaling pathways continue to influence cell growth and invasiveness. Compelling evidence indicates that steroid hormones elicit non-genomic responses in extra-nuclear compartment of target cells. In this cellular location, steroid-coupled receptors rapidly recruit signaling effectors or scaffold proteins and activate multiple pathways leading to proliferation, survival, migration and invasiveness. The immediate challenge is the dissection of key events regulating the steroid response of target tissues to prevent progression and improve treatment of breast and prostate cancers.

Download or read book Steroid Hormone Action and Cancer written by K. Menon and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is an outgrowth of a symposium held at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, October 27-29, 1975. This symposium was organized to bring together basic scientists and clinicians for the purpose of exchanging new ideas and the latest information in the area of Steroid Hormone Action and Cancer. The design of the symposium included both formal plenary sessions and informal roundtable discussion groups, the chapters of this volume being drawn primarily from these proceedings. During the last quarter of a century considerable progress has been made toward understanding the molecular mechanisms in volved in steroid hormone action. It now appears that the mechan sim of action of the four major classes of steroid hormones is qualitatively similar. Research during the past decade has demonstrated steroid hormone receptors in a variety of normal and neoplastic tissues. Receptor-containing neoplasms have been shown to be hormone-dependent and undergo regression when treated with hormone antagonists. Natural and synthetic steroids also have been employed for many years to successfully treat various types of cancer, for example: estrogens, androgens and progestagens for breast cancer; estrogens and progestagens for prostatic carcinoma; progestagens for endometrial carcinoma; and corticoids for leu kemias. All of these neoplasms have now been found to possess receptors for the steroids empirically used in their treatment.

Download or read book Metabolic and Mechanistic Exploration of a Novel Programmable Genotoxicant Against Prostate Cancer written by Charles Ingalls Morton (IV.) and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molecular design of novel pharmaceutical agents depends on a mechanistic paradigm. A library of compounds was designed to mimic some features of cisplatin that are believed to be in part responsible for its success as a chemotherapeutic agent against testicular cancer. The new compounds are designed to utilize proteins such as steroid receptors that are abnormally expressed in cancers to enhance toxicity and specificity. The synthetic phase of this project successfully produced a compound, 11P, that when tested against cancer cell lines demonstrated remarkable potency, including the induction of apoptosis in normally apoptosis-resistant prostate cancer lines. This drug candidate, comprising an aniline mustard tethered to a steroid moiety, is intended to form covalent adducts with DNA that, through association with the androgen receptor over-expressed in some prostate cancers, are likely to be shielded from repair, generating lethal crosslinks. Moreover, the titration of androgen receptor away from its normal function as a transcription factor may further inhibit tumor growth. While the mechanistic features of I1P are still under investigation, the potent anticancer activity warrants consideration of its possible clinical use, specifically against hormone-refractory, metastatic prostate cancer, for which current therapeutic options are extremely limited. One important step toward that goal involves characterizing the pharmacokinetics of the compound, including: a) understanding the rate of hydrolytic decomposition, b) evaluating the metabolic conversion by intracellular enzymes to active or inactive derivatives, and c) exploring the potential for contraindications between this drug candidate and other medications a prostate cancer patient may be taking concurrently. Herein are described the experiments that elucidate the pharmacokinetics of 1I1, showing that the drug candidate is a) subject to hydrolysis at rates that depend on the presence of plasma protein; b) extensively metabolized by the cytochromes P450 to products demonstrating reduced capacity for forming covalent adducts with DNA; and c) a potent inhibitor of the metabolism of known substrates of the 2D6 and 3A isoforms of cytochrome P450.
