Studies from Uijeongbu Eulji Medical Center in the Area of Prostate Cancer Described (Triple Silencing of HSP27, cFLIP, and CLU Genes Promotes the Sensitivity of Doxazosin-Induced Apoptosis in PC-3 Prostate Cancer Cells).

A study conducted at Uijeongbu Eulji Medical Center in South Korea explored the impact of silencing three specific genes (HSP27, cFLIP, and CLU) on the progression of prostate cancer cells and their response to doxazosin-induced apoptosis. The researchers found that silencing the CLU gene significantly reduced cell viability after treatment with doxazosin, and dual silencing of cFLIP and CLU also decreased cell viability. However, the most effective approach was silencing all three genes, which reduced cell viability even at a lower concentration of doxazosin. These findings suggest that simultaneous silencing of these genes could be a potential strategy for promoting apoptosis in prostate cancer cells. [Extracted from the article]
