Abiraterone induces SLCO1B3 expression in prostate cancer via microRNA-579-3p

Abstract Understanding mechanisms of resistance to abiraterone, one of the primary drugs approved for the treatment of castration resistant prostate cancer, remains a priority. The organic anion polypeptide 1B3 (OATP1B3, encoded by SLCO1B3) transporter has been shown to transport androgens into pros...
