The androgen receptor (AR) is tightly linked to prostate cancer, but the mechanisms by which AR transactivation is dysregulated during cancer progression are not fully explored. Dagar examined AR translocation to the nucleus to identify a link between heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and protein kinase A (PKA). Their findings provide a potential mechanism of the initiation of AR transactivation and potential targets for developing and refining treatments for prostate cancer.
雄激素受体(AR)与前列腺癌密切相关,但在癌症进展过程中 AR 转录激活失调的机制尚未完全探索。Dagar 研究了 AR 向核内易位,以确定热休克蛋白 90(HSP90)和蛋白激酶 A(PKA)之间的联系。他们的发现为 AR 转录激活的启动提供了一个潜在机制,并为开发和完善前列腺癌治疗方法提供了潜在靶点。
