Rationale and aims: Aberrant activation or “reactivation” of androgen receptor in the course of androgen-ablation therapy shows a potential cause for the development of castration-resistant prostate cancer. This study tested the hypothesis that belinostat (PXD101), a potent pan histone deacetylase inhibitor, may potentiate hormonal therapy and prevent onset of castration resistant phenotype Material and Methods. A panel of human prostate cancer (Pca) cells with grade...
