ALOX12 and prostate carcinoma: Overexpression of the platelet 12-LOX in PC-3 prostate cancer cells results in 12(S)-HETE production which leads to the activation of transcription factors such as NF-κB resulting in increased MMP9 expression and in hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha)-mediated in VEGF expression [71, 72, 117].
