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. Here, RPS6KB2 is linked to prostate carcinoma.
