Association between cannabinoid CB₁ receptor expression and Akt signalling in prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND: In prostate cancer, tumour expression of cannabinoid CB₁ receptors is associated with a poor prognosis. One explanation for this association comes from experiments with transfected astrocytoma cells, where a high CB receptor expression recruits the Akt signalling survival pathway. In the...
