Androgens initially drive prostate tumour growth. Although in advanced disease there is no longer dependence on circulating androgens, the androgen receptor (AR) remains a key driver of this lethal stage thus new ways to inhibit its activity are required. MicroRNAs play vital roles in prostate cancer (PCa) development, progression and metastasis. Previous studies have examined microRNAs dysregulated in PCa, and also identified androgen-regulated microRNAs. We approached microR...
