Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor approved for therapy of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. However, clinical application revealed that 30 to 40% of patients acquire resistance after a short period of treatment. Currently, the molecular mechanisms underlying such insensitivities are not completely understood, partly due to a lack of model systems. In the present study we established three different cellular models of enzalutamide resistance inc...
