Knockdown of PSCA induces EMT and decreases metastatic potentials of the human prostate cancer DU145 cells
2016
Background
Prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) expression has been shown to correlate with prostatic carcinogenesis and prostate cancer (PCa) progression. The underlying mechanisms for these processes are currently unknown. Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been associated with the invasiveness and the distant metastasis of PCa. In this study, we investigated the effects of knocking down the PSCA on the cell migration, the invasiveness, and the EMT of the PCa cell line DU145 in vitro and in vivo.
