“…VCaP cells were derived from a patient with mCRPC, while PC-3 cells are androgen receptor-negative metastatic PCa cells. We also included RWPE-1 cells, which are epithelial cells derived from the peripheral zone of an histologically normal adult human prostate and transfected with a single copy of human papillomavirus 18 [ 26 ]. The three cell lines were treated for 48 h with various concentrations of docetaxel (0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 75, and 100nM) and GLIPR1-ΔΤΜ (1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80,and 160 μg/ml) in different serum concentrations (0.1 % for PC-3 cells and 0.5 % for VCaP and RWPE-1 cells), and MTS assay was performed to evaluate the dose response and the IC50 for each single-agent treatment.…”
