Abstract

Together these results suggest that GPNMB gene is a p53- and androgen-dysregulated gene and should be regarded as an anti-tumor gene for prostate cancer. The enhancement of Ndrg1 and maspin gene expressions may account for the anti-proliferative and anti-invasive function of GPNMB in PC-3 cells.
