Recombinant Proteins> | … Recombinant TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6 (GenScript, Piscataway, NJ, USA) were diluted in PBS. As 20 ng/mL of both IL-1β and IL-6 consistently gave robust induction of STAMP2 expression, this was the concentration used unless otherwise noted … | Get A Quote |
Inflammatory events and dysregulated cytokine expression are implicated in prostate cancer (PCa), but the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood at present. We have previously identified six transmembrane protein of the prostate 2 (STAMP2, also known as STEAP4) as an androgen-regulated gene, as well as a key regulator of PCa growth and survival. STAMP2 is also regulated by, and participates in, inflammatory signaling in other tissues and pathologies. Here, we show that the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 6 (IL-6) and Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) significantly increase and strongly synergize in promoting STAMP2 expression in PCa cells. The two cytokines increase androgen-induced STAMP2 expres... More
