additional information | short-term androgen removal induces a rapid and transient SphK1 inhibition associated with a reduced cell growth in vitro and in vivo, an event that is not observed in the hormone-insensitive PC-3 cells. The addition of dihydrotestosterone to androgen-deprived LNCaP cells re-establishes cell proliferation, through an androgen receptor/PI3K/Akt dependent stimulation of SphK1, and inhibition of SphK1 can markedly impede the effects of dihydrotestosterone | Homo sapiens |

physiological function | short-term androgen removal induces a rapid and transient SphK1 inhibition associated with a reduced cell growth in vitro and in vivo, an event that is not observed in the hormone-insensitive PC-3 cells. The addition of dihydrotestosterone to androgen-deprived LNCaP cells re-establishes cell proliferation, through an androgen receptor/PI3K/Akt dependent stimulation of SphK1, and inhibition of SphK1 can markedly impede the effects of dihydrotestosterone. Long-term removal of androgen support in LNCaP and C4-2B cells results in a progressive increase in SphK1 expression and activity throughout the progression to androgen-independence state, which is characterized by the acquisition of a neuroendocrine-like cell phenotype. Inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway by negatively impacting SphK1 activity can prevent neuroendocrine differentiation in both cell models, an event that can be mimicked by SphK1 inhibitors | Homo sapiens |
