The loss of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene (RB) is common in many human cancers, including prostate. We previously reported that engineered deletion of RB in prostate epithelial cells results in sustained cell growth in serum-free media, a predisposition to develop hyperplasia and dysplasia in prostate tissue recombinant grafts, and sensitization to hormonal carcinogenesis. Examining the molecular consequence of RB loss in this system, we show that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is significa ...[more]
