Androgen deprivation upregulates SPINK1 expression and potentiates cellular plasticity in prostate cancer

SPINK1 upregulation is found in ~10–25% of prostate cancers. Here, they show that whilst SPINK1 is transcriptionally repressed by androgen receptor and its co-repressor REST, it is upregulated after androgen-deprivation therapy, which leads to neuroendocrine differentiation of prostate cancer cells....
