Hypoxia Increases Androgen Receptor Activity in Prostate Cancer Cells
Abstract
Recent studies show that prostate cancer cells are able to survive in a hypoxic tumor environment, and the extent of tumor hypoxia correlates with poor clinical outcome. Androgen deprivation, the most common form of prostate cancer therapy, was itself shown to induce a state of transient hypoxia at the microenvironmental level. Because androgen receptor (AR) signaling plays a critical role in prostate cancer, we investigated the effect of hypoxia in regulating AR function. We found that in LNCaP prostate cancer cells, AR binding to the androgen-responsive element (ARE), prostate-specific antigen accumulation, and ARE-reporter gene activity were increased after hypoxia treatment. Hypoxia-enhanced AR function was also observed when AR was exogenously introduced into AR-null DU145 cells. Confocal microscopy and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that AR translocation to the nucleus and AR recruitment to the prostate-specific antigen promoter were facilitated after hypoxia treatment. The AR stimulatory effect seemed to be ligand-dependent because it was abrogated when cells were cultured in an androgen-depleted medium, but was restored with the addition of R1881, a synthetic androgen. The sensitivity of AR activation to R1881 was also increased after hypoxia treatment. Although concentrations of <1 nmol/L R1881 did not induce ARE reporter activity under normoxic conditions, exposure to hypoxia greatly potentiated the AR response to low levels of R1881. Collectively, our…

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.
