Caveolin-1 as a potential high-risk prostate cancer biomarker

Abstract: Abstract. Current diagnostic techniques of prostate cancer cannot efficiently distinguish the latent and low-risk forms from the high-risk significant forms of prostate cancer. Caveolin-1 (Cav-1), except other functions, plays an important role in cell transformation and the process of tumorigenesis. Furthermore, Cav-1 is involved in metastatic processes. It has also been shown that Cav-1 expression is induced under stress conditions, such as oxidative stress. The present study focused on the determination of … Show more

“…Thus, CAV-1 is considered to act as a tumour suppressor in the early stages of tumour development, whereas in more advanced stages it promotes tumorigenesis (Senetta et al, 2013). In prostate cancer, CAV-1 has been reported to be a potential highrisk marker (Gumulec et al, 2012). In the study presented here, an increase in the CAV-1 expression at the protein and mRNA levels was observed to be associated with the metastatic potential of the prostate cell lines.…”

“…These various effects may be explained by the activation status of different domains of Cav-1 or the expression levels of other molecules that interact with Cav-1 in these different signaling pathways [42]. Several studies have recently assessed the potential function of Cav-1 in tumor progression [8], [43], [44]. However, the relationship between Cav-1 expression and cancer progression remains unclear at both the cellular and molecular levels.…”

“…Herein, the membrane protein caveolin-1 (Cav1) came into focus as it is overexpressed or mutated in many solid human tumors67891011. Although Cav1 acts as tumor suppressor in non-transformed cells, its overexpression has been linked to tumor progression and poor prognosis12131415. As an example, overexpression of Cav1 has been identified as a marker for breast, lung and prostate cancer (PCa) progression that is associated with increased resistance to chemotherapy, metastatic disease and poor prognosis1617.…”
