Silodosin inhibits noradrenaline-activated transcription factors Elk1 and SRF in human prostate smooth muscle.

BACKGROUND: The transcription factors Elk1 and serum response factor (SRF) are central regulators of cell cycle and phenotype in various cell types. Elk1 is activated by phosphorylation (serine-383), while activation of SRF requires its co-factor, myocardin. Activation of Elk1 and SRF results in bin...
