AR and prostate carcinoma: Munkley et al. (2015) reported that expressions of hST6GalNAc1 gene and sTn is induced by androgen in human prostate cancer cell line LNCaP, and furthermore, using ChIP-qPCR they demonstrated the androgen-inducible hST6GalNAc1 gene expression in LNCaP cells by direct binding of androgen to an androgen receptor-binding site in close proximity to the hST6GalNAc1 promoter (Munkley et al., 2015).
