摘要: MST4, a member of the Sterile 20 serine/threonine kinase family, was found to be expressed in prostate carcinoma tumor samples and cell lines. In addition, expression levels appeared correlate with tumorigenicity androgen receptor status cells. Ectopic wild-type kinase-inactive MST4 used alter cellular activity three widely studied human lines: LNCaP, DU 145, PC-3. Overexpression induced anchorage-independent growth LNCaP line, increased both vitro proliferation vivo tumorigenesis 145 line. On other hand, form reverted phenotype highly tumorigenic behavior PC-3 stimulated significantly by epidermal factor ligands, which are known promote cancer Together, our studies suggest potential role for signal transduction pathways involved progression.
