After having determined that S6Ks are involved in some prostate cancer features in vitro, we investigated their tumorigenic ability in vivo, by injecting PC3-luc cells overexpressing S6K isoforms or knocked down for S6K1 or S6K2 subcutaneously into the flanks of male athymic Nude mice and measuring tumor growth. The gene discussed is RPS6KB2; the disease is neoplasm.
