In Vivo Evaluation of AT-101 (R-(—)-Gossypol Acetic Acid) in Androgen-Independent Growth of VCaP Prostate Cancer Cells in Combination with Surgical Castration

In Vivo Evaluation of AT-101 (R-(—)-Gossypol Acetic Acid) in Androgen-Independent Growth of VCaP Prostate Cancer Cells in Combination with Surgical Castration

PURPOSE: Upregulation of Bcl-2 family members is a well-established mechanism in the development of androgen-independent prostate cancer. Inhibition of the antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 may delay the transition to androgen-independent growth. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We have established a pros...
