NO/NOS system in prostate cancer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Via activating G-protein receptor transduction pathways,nitric oxide (NO),an important signal molecule,has a complex and diverse role which is closely related with activity and gene expression of nitric oxide synthetase (NOS).NO is involved in tumor related events such as cellular proliferation,migration,especially the angiogenic process,and it is closely related with the occurrence and progression of prostate cancer.NO donors and NOS inhibitors have anti-cancer and radio-chemotherapy enhancement roles.
