Calcium Activation of the Androgen Receptor in Prostate Cells

Figure 4

Calcium channels in hormone-independent and castration-resistant prostate cancer cells. PWR-1E (PWR), LNCaP, VCaP, and 22RV1 cells were plated in improved minimum essential media (IMEM) containing phenol red and 10% FBS serum. To determine the expression of calcium channels, the amount of CACNA1-C, -D, -G, and -H; TRPM-7; and TRPV-6 mRNA was measured using a quantitative real-time PCR assay and normalized to the amount of 18S rRNA. Data are presented as fold change compared to PWR cells (mean ± SEM; biological replicates = 3; technical replicates = 3; , , , and ).
