1 In this study, we demonstrate that BITC not only induces apoptosis but also induces autophagy in human hormone-sensitive (Rv1) and -refractory (PC3) prostate cancer cells. benzyl isothiocyanate proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 Homo sapiens
2 However, the increased expression of phospho-mTOR (Ser2448), phospho-AKT (Ser473) and antiapoptotic Bcl-2 were detected only in PC3 cells at later stages of BITC treatment. benzyl isothiocyanate proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 Homo sapiens
3 Activation of the AKT survival pathway was only observed in PC3 cells, representing a resistance mechanism of advanced prostate cancer upon BITC treatment. benzyl isothiocyanate proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 Homo sapiens
