BAX and prostate carcinoma: Due to its molecular conformation similar to estradiol, nonylphenol exhibits several prostate cellular effects; in fact it stimulates cell survival and metastasis of hormone-dependent prostate cancer cells line by reducing mRNA levels of tumour suppressor genes like p27 and Bax [66] and all of these effects are similar to those observed for dihydrotestosterone (DHT) indicating the strong hormonal impact of this industrial chemical in prostate cancer biology.
