      Contradictory data have been reported regarding the effect of GnRH agonists and antagonists on cell growth and survival, using prostate cancer-derived cell lines expressing either endogenous or exogenous GnRH receptors. ...
    • Evaluation of MENT on primary cell cultures from benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate carcinoma 
      Mendoza, Patricia; Sánchez, Catherine; Contreras, Héctor R.; Vergara, Jorge; Acevedo Castillo, Cristián; Cabezas Castillo, Juan; Huidobro Alvarado, Christian; Noé, Gabriela; Castellón Vera, Enrique (Blackwell, 2008)
      7-alpha-Methyl-19-Nortestosterone (MENT) is a synthetic androgen more potent than testosterone (T) and cannot be reduced at 5-alpha position. No important effects of MENT on prostate growth have been reported. However, little ...
    • Non-genomic action of resveratrol on androgen and oestrogen receptors in prostate cancer: modulation of the ... 
      Benítez, Dixan; Pozo Guisado, E.; Clementi, Marisa; Castellón Vera, Enrique; Fernández Salguero, P. M. (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, MACMILLAN BUILDING, 2007-05)
      Prostate cancer represents a major concern in human oncology and the phytoalexin resveratrol (RES) inhibits growth and proliferation of prostate cancer cells through the induction of apoptosis. In addition, previous data ...
    • Secretion of prostatic specific antigen, proliferative activity and androgen response in epithelial–stromal ... 
      Castellón Vera, Enrique; Venegas, Karina; Sáenz Iturriaga, Leonardo Enrique; Contreras, Héctor; Huidobro Alvarado, Christian (2005)
      We investigate the proliferative activity, prostatic specific antigen (PSA) secretion, morphology and androgen response of human prostate tumour epithelial cells co-cultured with stromal cells in a bicameral system. ...
