Establishment and characterization of a human prostatic carcinoma cell line (PC-3).
1.7K
TL;DR: The establishment, characterization, and tumorigenicity of a new epithelial cell line (PC-3) from a human prostatic adenocarcinoma metastatic to bone is reported, which should be useful in investigating the biochemical changes in advanced prostatic cancer cells and in assessing their response to chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract: The establishment, characterization, and tumorigenicity of a new epithelial cell line (PC-3) from a human prostatic adenocarcinoma metastatic to bone is reported The cultured cells show anchorage-independent growth in both monolayers and in soft agar suspension and produce subcutaneous tumors in nude mice Culture of the transplanted tumor yielded a human cell line with characteristics identical to those used initially to produce the tumor PC-3 has a greatly reduced dependence upon serum for growth when compared to normal prostatic epithelial cells and does not respond to androgens, glucocorticoids, or epidermal or fibroblast gowth factors Karyotypic analysis by quinacrine banding revealed the cells to be completely aneuploid with a modal chromosome number in the hypotriploid range At least 10 distinctive marker chromosomes were identified The overall karyotype as well as the marker chromosomes are distinct from those of the HeLa cell Electron microscopic studies revealed many features common to neoplastic cells of epithelial origin including numerous microvilli, junctional complexes, abnormal nuclei and nucleoli, abnormal mitochondria, annulate lamellae, and lipoidal bodies Overall, the functional and morphologic characteristics of PC-3 are those of a poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma These cells should be useful in investigating the biochemical changes in advanced prostatic cancer cells and in assessing their response to chemotherapeutic agents

IDENTIFICATION OF EXTRACELLULAR δ-CATENIN ACCUMULATION FOR PROSTATE CANCER DETECTION
Qun Lu,Jiao Zhang,Ron R. Allison,Wan Xi Yang,Neil A. Bhowmick,Gloria Frelix,Scott B. Shappell,Yan-Hua Chen +7 more
TL;DR: This study investigated the hypothesis of δ‐catenin accumulation in the urine of prostate cancer patients and its potential pathways of excretion into extracellular milieu.
Interleukin-1β promotes skeletal colonization and progression of metastatic prostate cancer cells with neuroendocrine features.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that IL-1β supports the skeletal colonization and metastatic progression of prostate cancer cells with an acquired neuroendocrine phenotype.

Expression of nerve growth factor and nerve growth factor receptor genes in human tissues and in prostatic adenocarcinoma cell lines.
TL;DR: The widespread distribution of the LNGFR suggests that it plays a role in the regulation of normal cell growth, and regulation of the human NGF gene was studied in DU145 cells, a prostatic adenocarcinoma cell line that synthesizes significant NGF mRNA levels.

Bone marrow adipocytes promote the warburg phenotype in metastatic prostate tumors via HIF-1α activation
Jonathan Diedrich,Erandi Rajagurubandara,Mackenzie K. Herroon,Gargi Mahapatra,Maik Hüttemann,Izabela Podgorski +5 more
TL;DR: Using in vitro and in vivo models of marrow adiposity, it is demonstrated that marrow fat cells promote Warburg phenotype in metastatic prostate cancer cells, and evidence that adipocytes drive metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells via oxygen-independent mechanism of Hif-1α activation that can be reversed by HIF-1 α downregulation is provided.
1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 inhibits prostate cancer cell growth by androgen-dependent and androgen-independent mechanisms.
TL;DR: 1,25-(OH)2D3 causes significant growth inhibition in both MDA cell lines, greater (for 2b cells) or lesser ( for 2a cells) than that in the LNCaP cell line.
