This report documents that inhibition of 5-Lox, triggers rapid and wide-spread apoptosis in prostate cancer stem cells via activation of c-Jun N-terminal Kinase, and that this process is associated with down-regulation of PKCε, but not Akt or ERKs as we observed in regular prostate cancer cells [23–26, 37]. This evidence concerns the gene AKT1 and prostate carcinoma.
