Mechanism of Notch1‑saRNA‑1480 reversing androgen sensitivity in human metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to explore the mechanism by which Notch1‑small activating (sa)RNA restored androgen sensitivity in human metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). After transfection of Notch1‑saRNA‑1480 in PC3 cells, the expression of Notch1 and androgen receptor (AR) was investigated by reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT‑qPCR) and western blotting. Furthermore, the protein expression level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was measured. Then, flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle and apoptosis after transfection. Moreover, the migration and invasion ability of PC3 cells were assessed by transwell assays. Then, angiogenesis experiments were conducted to analyze the abilities of PC3 cells to form blood vessels. Furthermore, in vi
