Journal ArticleDOI

Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells expressing prodrug-converting enzyme inhibit human prostate tumor growth.

TL;DR: The feasibility and efficacy of these therapeutic cells to function as cellular vehicles of prodrug-activating enzymes in prostate cancer (PC) therapy were tested and it was demonstrated that they were effective in significantly inhibiting PC tumor growth after intravenous administration.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Microbiome of the Prostate Tumor Microenvironment.

TL;DR: The prostate contains a plethora of bacteria, which set themselves within the gland with a distribution dependent on the nature of the tissue, thus suggesting a possible pathophysiological correlation between the composition of the local microbial niche and the presence of the tumor itself.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-6 stimulation of growth of prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo through activation of the androgen receptor

TL;DR: Data in the present study demonstrate that IL-6 may cause growth of androgen receptor-positive tumours in vitro and in vivo through activation of the androgens receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progesterone derivatives are able to influence peripheral myelin protein 22 and P0 gene expression: possible mechanisms of action.

TL;DR: The data obtained indicate that tetrahydroprogesterone is able to stimulate the gene expression of peripheral myelin protein 22 both in vivo (in adult but not in old animals) and in Schwann cell cultures.
