Is increased Expression of Androgen Receptor mRNA in Human Renal Cell Carcinoma Cells Associated with Poor Prognosis in Patients with Localized Renal Cell Carcinoma?
In patients with localized renal cell carcinoma the androgen receptor mRNA expression level is associated with prognosis. In addition, cell culture data suggest that enzalutamide may have an effect in limiting the growth of androgen receptor positive renal cell carcinoma.
These results suggest that the NAD(P)H oxidase-derived ROS in the RVLM modulate the CSAR. The ROS in the RVLM is necessary for the enhanced CSAR response caused by Ang II in the PVN.
