Membrane Androgen Receptor Down-Regulates c-Src-Activity and Beta-Catenin Transcription and Triggers GSK-3beta-Phosphorylation in Colon Tumor Cells

Background/Aims: Functional membrane androgen receptors (mARs) have recently been described in colon tumor cells and tissues. Their activation by specific testosterone albumin conjugates (TAC) down-regulates the PI-3K/Akt pro-survival signaling and triggers potent pro-apoptotic responses both, in vi...
