Understanding how the regulation of growth factor pathways alters during
prostate cancer (PC) progression may enable researchers to develop
targeted therapeutic strategies for advanced disease. PC progression
involves the shifting of cells from androgen-dependent growth to an
androgen-independent state, sometimes with the loss or mutation of the
androgen receptors in PC cells. Both autocrine and paracrine pathways
are up-regulated in androgen-independent tumors and may replace
androgens as primary growth stimulatory factors in cancer progression.
Our discussion focuses on growth factor families that maintain
homeostasis between epithelial and stromal cells in the normal prostate
and that undergo changes as PC progresses, often making stromal cells
redundant. These growth factors include fibroblast growth factor,
insulin-like growth factors, epidermal growth factor, transforming
growth factor
, retinoic acid, vitamin D3, and the
transforming growth factor ß families. We review their role in normal
prostate development and in cancer progression, using evidence from
clinical specimens and models of PC cell growth.
