Cotinine Enhances Androgen Receptor Stability and Promotes Androgen-Dependent Proliferation in Prostate Cancer Cells: An In Vitro Study.
Cigarette smoking is associated with a poor prognosis and reduced efficacy of androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSIs) in prostate cancer patients; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely undefined. This study investigated the impact of cotinine, the stable primary metabolite of nicotine, on a...
