Androgen Receptor Variants Confer Castration Resistance in Prostate Cancer by Counteracting Antiandrogen-Induced Ferroptosis

287 views | Nov 19 2023

The passage discusses how acute treatment with the antiandrogen enzalutamide induces ferroptosis in prostate cancer cells by decreasing glutathione production, increasing lipid peroxidation, and upregulating the cystine transporter gene SLC7A11 through both full-length and variant forms of the androgen receptor, revealing a potential mechanism for therapeutic resistance and identifying a target for intervention.
