“…Second, DHT (e.g., 10–100 nM) considerably induced cell proliferation of established AR-positive lines [26,47,71,72,73,74], and anti-androgens, including flutamide/hydroxyflutamide and bicalutamide, blocked the stimulatory effects of DHT [47,72,73,75]. Other androgens, such as testosterone [47], androstenedione [74], and a synthetic androgen methyltrienolone [76], were also shown to increase the proliferation of cancer cells. Third, DHT increased S-phase population in a primary culture [55] or OVCAR3 [73].…”
