Abstract

BACKGROUND: Androgen receptor (AR) is the key molecule in androgen‐refractory prostate cancer. Despite androgen ablative conditions, AR remains active and is necessary for the growth of androgen‐refractory prostate cancer cells. Nuclear localization of AR is a prerequisite for its transcriptional activation. We examined AR localization in androgen‐dependent and androgen‐refractory prostate cancer cells. METHODS AND RESULTS: We demonstrate increased nuclear localization of a GFP‐tagged AR in the absence of hormone in androgen‐refractory C4‐2 cells compared to parental androgen‐sensitive human prostate cancer LNCaP cells. Analysis of AR mutants impaired in ligand‐binding indicates that the nuclear localization of AR in C4‐2 cells is truly androgen‐independent. The hsp90 inhibitor, 17‐allylamino‐17‐demethoxygeldanamycin (17‐AAG), inhibits basal PSA expression and disrupts the ligand‐independent nuclear localization of AR at doses much lower than required to inhibit androgen‐induced nuclear import. CONCLUSIONS: Hsp90 is a key regulator of ligand‐independent nuclear localization and activation of AR in androgen‐refractory prostate cancer cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
