Molecular effects of the herbal compound PC-SPES: identification of activity pathways in prostate carcinoma.

TL;DR: CDNA microarray analysis was used to identify gene expression changes in LNCaP prostate carcinoma cells exposed to PC-SPES and estrogenic agents including diethylstilbestrol and suggests that alterations in specific genes involved in modulating the cell cycle, cell structure, and androgen response may be responsible for PC- SPES-mediated cytotoxicity.
Journal Article

PART-1: A Novel Human Prostate-specific, Androgen-regulated Gene that Maps to Chromosome 5q12

TL;DR: A novel gene that is identified as a new gene involved in the androgen receptor-regulated gene network of the human prostate that may play a role in the etiology of prostate carcinogenesis is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of Aspirin and Other Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Medications in Relation to Prostate Cancer Risk

TL;DR: There was no evidence that the association with aspirin use varied by disease aggressiveness, but there was effect modification with a genetic variant in prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) (rs12042763).
Journal ArticleDOI

Pescadillo, a novel cell cycle regulatory protein abnormally expressed in malignant cells.

TL;DR: Yeast strains harboring temperature-sensitive mutations in the pescadillo gene were arrested in either G1 or G2 when grown in nonpermissive conditions, demonstrating that pescADillo is an essential gene in yeast and is required for cell cycle progression.
