SMILE upregulated by metformin inhibits the function of androgen receptor in prostate cancer cells
Highlights • Metformin reduces the androgen-dependent growth of prostate cancer cells and the expression of endogenous AR target genes. • Metformin induces SMILE expression in prostate cancer cells, of which knockdown with shRNA abolished the inhibitory effect of metformin on AR function. • SMILE su...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • Metformin reduces the androgen-dependent growth of prostate cancer cells and the expression of endogenous AR target genes. • Metformin induces SMILE expression in prostate cancer cells, of which knockdown with shRNA abolished the inhibitory effect of metformin on AR function. • SMILE suppresses AR transactivation through physical interaction with AR. • SMILE inhibits the expression of AR target genes and the androgen-dependent growth of prostate cancer cells. |
