| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the role of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in castration resistancy of androgen-receptor(AR)-positive prostate cancer. In a human prostate cancer cell line, LNCap, expresses GR in addition to AR. Dexamethasone could activate androgen-receptor-respose-element and induces PSA in LNCap-GR, constitutively expressing GR. LNCap-GR could also subcutaneous-transplantable in SICD mice, while parental LNCap could not.
