| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mutual exclusivity of androgen-androgen receptor axis (AR axis) and PI3K/Akt pathway by negative feedback is one of the contributing factor of resistance to treatment of prostate cancer, so we examined combination therapy of PI3K/mTOR inhibitor（NVP-BEZ235）and AR inhibitor（Abirateron and MDV3100）. There is more expression of androgen receptor (AR) in C4-2AT6 than C4-2, and expression of AR increased by using NVP-BEZ235 dose-dependently. Secondly, we evaluated cell killing effectiveness of C42-AT6 by combination therapy using WST assay, then cell killing effectiveness increased by using Abirateron, though not increased by using MDV3100 unexpectedly. There showed effectiveness of combination therapy in LNCaP which is androgen sensitive prostate cancer cell line, so the experimental result suggest that both inhibitation of AR axis and PI3K/Akt pathway is not effective to prostate cancer cell line which achieved high grade of malignancy.
