Effect of the heat shock protein HSP27 on androgen receptor expression and function in prostate cancer cells
2012
Purpose
Heat shock proteins (HSP) are involved in processes of folding, activation, trafficking and transcriptional activity of most steroid receptors including the androgen receptor (AR). Accumulating evidence links rising heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) levels with the development of castration-resistant prostate cancer. In order to study the functional relationship between HSP27 and the AR, we modulated the expression of the small heat shock protein HSP27 in human prostate cancer (PC) cell lines.
