activins and Cancer of Prostate

activins has been researched along with Cancer of Prostate in 33 studies

Activins: Activins are produced in the pituitary, gonads, and other tissues. By acting locally, they stimulate pituitary FSH secretion and have diverse effects on cell differentiation and embryonic development. Activins are glycoproteins that are hetero- or homodimers of INHIBIN-BETA SUBUNITS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Successful prostate cancer diagnosis and management continue to provide challenges for the clinician."2.41The role of inhibins and activins in prostate cancer pathogenesis. ( Dowling, CR; Risbridger, GP, 2000)
"A hallmark of prostate cancer progression is activin insensitivity; however, mechanisms underlying this are unclear."1.43Uric acid: a modulator of prostate cells and activin sensitivity. ( Bahn, A; Gold, E; Rodrigues, E; Sangkop, F; Singh, G, 2016)
"Mortality from prostate cancer (PCa) is due to the formation of metastatic disease."1.39Endoglin-mediated suppression of prostate cancer invasion is regulated by activin and bone morphogenetic protein type II receptors. ( Bergan, RC; Breen, MJ; Huang, X; Liu, W; Moran, DM; Vary, CP, 2013)
"Local androgen synthesis in prostate cancer (PC) may contribute to the development of castration-resistant PC (CRPC), but pathways controlling intratumoral steroidogenic enzyme expression in PC are unknown."1.38Activin A stimulates AKR1C3 expression and growth in human prostate cancer. ( de Jong, FH; Dits, NF; Hofland, J; Jenster, G; Steenbergen, J; van Weerden, WM, 2012)
"The study of cancer cell dormancy is severely hampered by the lack of biological samples so that the mechanisms that regulate cell dormancy have not been extensively explored."1.37A dormant state modulated by osmotic pressure controls clonogenicity of prostate cancer cells. ( Dautry, F; Havard, M; Tchénio, T, 2011)
"Bone metastasis is the major cause of mortality associated with prostate cancer."1.35Activin A enhances prostate cancer cell migration through activation of androgen receptor and is overexpressed in metastatic prostate cancer. ( Chang, C; Chuang, YC; Hsieh, CY; Huang, HY; Huang, KE; Kang, HY; Li, CF; Shyr, CR; Tsai, MY, 2009)
"Using prostatic cancer cell (PCC) lines as a model of cancer cell proliferation, we have identified the fetal serum component activin A and its signaling through the activin receptor type II (ActRII), as necessary, although not sufficient, for PCC proliferation."1.35Activin receptor signaling regulates prostatic epithelial cell adhesion and viability. ( Atwood, CS; Bowen, RL; Bruce, E; Gallego, MJ; Haasl, RJ; Lyons, PF; Simon, DP; Vadakkadath Meethal, S; Weinecke, SL; Wilson, AC, 2009)
"Cultures from high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) have been established and immortalized by HPV-18 infection."1.30Growth of HPV-18 immortalized human prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia cell lines. Influence of IL-10, follistatin, activin-A, and DHT. ( Garcia, FU; Liu, A; Rhim, JS; Stearns, ME; Wang, M, 1999)
"Human prostate cancer cell lines have been used to investigate similar agents in malignancy."1.29Activin inhibition of prostate cancer cell growth: selective actions on androgen-responsive LNCaP cells. ( Bradshaw, D; Dalkin, AC; Gilrain, JT; Myers, CE, 1996)
