Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Statin decreased many gene expressions, which are related to DNA repair, in androgen independent prostate cancer cells. The combination of X-ray or heavy ion therapy and simvastatin further enhanced the inhibition of cell proliferation compared with treatment with either treatment alone in androgen independent prostate cancer cells. Moreover, the combination of Olaparib and simvastatin further enhanced the inhibition of cell proliferation compared with treatment with either drug alone in androgen independent prostate cancer cells, but not in normal prostate stroma cells. These data suggested that the combination of radiation or PARP inhibitor and statin can potentially affect castration-resistant prostate cancer growth.
