The results reveal a distinct exosomal functionality in the modulation of the prostatic tumor adjacent environment. The multitude of translocated factors implies the induction of numerous effects in tumor-associated target cells, including impact on cellular growth.
MDR1 was detectable in the PC cell line 22Rv1. However, this study suggests that MDR1 is of less importance for drug resistance in PC cells than in other types of solid cancer. Furthermore, in contrast to YB-1 properties in other malignancies, MDR1 regulation through YB-1 seems to be unlikely.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
