CORT and posterior cortical atrophy: Remarkably, as previously mentioned, we also demonstrated that the proliferation rate of AI-PCA cells was significantly inhibited in response to octreotide and/or pasireotide in AI-PCa cells; however, when CORT expression was silenced, the treatment with these SSAs was completely inefficient in decreasing the proliferation rate, suggesting that the reduction in the levels of CORT could desensitize AI-PCa cells to the antitumor actions of SSAs treatment.
