Altered N-myc Downstream-Regulated Gene 1 Protein Expression in African-American Compared with Caucasian Prostate Cancer Patients
Purpose: The protein encoded by N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 ( NDRG1 ) is a recently discovered protein whose transcription is induced by androgens and hypoxia. We hypothesized that NDRG1 expression patterns might reveal a biological basis for the disparity of clinical outcome of prostate cance...

Zusammenfassung: | Purpose: The protein encoded by N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 ( NDRG1 ) is a recently discovered protein whose transcription is induced by androgens and hypoxia. We hypothesized that NDRG1 expression
patterns might reveal a biological basis for the disparity of clinical outcome of prostate cancer patients with different
ethnic backgrounds.
Experimental Design: Patients who underwent radical prostatectomy between 1990 and 2000 at Veterans Administration Medical Center of New York
were examined. We studied 223 cases, including 157 African Americans and 66 Caucasians (T2, n = 144; ≥T3, n = 79; Gleason |
