Antiproliferative Effects of Luteinizing Hormone-releasing Hormone (LHRH) Agonists on Human Androgen-independent Prostate Cancer Cell Line DU 145: Evidence for an Autocrine-inhibitory LHRH Loop

Donatella Dondi, +5 more
- 01 Aug 1994 - 
TL;DR: The data seem to indicate that an autocrine/paracrine L HRH (or LHRH-like) loop is present in androgen-independent prostate cancer cells, and may participate in the regulation of tumor cell growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antiproliferative effects of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists on the human prostatic cancer cell line LNCaP

Patrizia Limonta, +4 more
- 01 Jul 1992 - 
TL;DR: The results clearly suggest that the antiproliferative effect of LHRH agonists on LNCaP cells may be mediated by specific receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The biology of gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone: role in the control of tumor growth and progression in humans.

Patrizia Limonta, +3 more
- 01 Dec 2003 - 
TL;DR: Observations point to GnRH-I as an autocrine negative regulatory factor on tumor growth progression and metastatization, and the molecular mechanisms underlying the peculiar antitumor activity of Gn RH-I are clarified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of a leptin receptor in immortalized gonadotropin-releasing hormone-secreting neurons.

Paolo Magni, +8 more
- 01 Apr 1999 - 
TL;DR: The present results indicate that GT1-7 cells possess OB-Rs and that leptin may directly affect their function, and suggest that leptin might participate in the regulation of reproductive processes by acting at multiple levels, both centrally and peripherally.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Androgen Derivative 5α-Androstane-3β,17β-Diol Inhibits Prostate Cancer Cell Migration Through Activation of the Estrogen Receptor β Subtype

Vittoria Guerini, +10 more
- 15 Jun 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the 5alpha-reduced testosterone derivative, dihydrotestosterone (the most potent natural androgen) inhibits cell migration with an androgen receptor-independent mechanism.
