Research Abstract

Low-androgen-sensitive LNCaP-E9 cells and androgen-independent AIDL cells were established from androgen receptor-positive prostate cancer LNCaP cells. Androgen receptor was expressed in LNCaP-E9 and AIDL cells. Low androgen sensitivity in LNCaP-E9 cells was associated with reduced Akt phosphorylation. W741C and T877A mutations were found in AIDL cells and the mutations may explain the androgen resistance of AIDL cells.
