- Androgens enhance the glycolytic metabolism and lactate export in prostate cancer cells by modulating the expression of GLUT1, GLUT3, PFK, LDH and MCT4 genesPublication . Vaz, Cátia; Marques, Ricardo; Alves, Marco G; Oliveira, P.F.; Cavaco, JE; Baptista, Cláudio; Socorro, SílviaPurpose The present study aims to investigate the role of androgens in controlling the glycolytic metabolism and lactate efflux in prostate cancer (PCa) cells.

- Regucalcin is an androgen-target gene in the rat prostate modulating cell-cycle and apoptotic pathwaysPublication . Vaz, C V; Baptista, Cláudio; Marques, Ricardo; Gomes, Inês; Correia, Sara; Alves, Marco G; Cavaco, JE; Oliveira, Pedro F.; Socorro, SílviaRegucalcin (RGN) is a calcium (Ca(2+) )-binding protein underexpressed in prostate adenocarcinoma comparatively to non-neoplastic prostate or benign prostate hyperplasia cases. Moreover, RGN expression is negatively associated with the cellular differentiation of prostate adenocarcinoma, suggesting that loss of RGN may be associated with tumor onset and progression. However, the RGN actions over the control of prostate cell growth have not been investigated.
