SPP1 Promotes Enzalutamide Resistance and Epithelial-Mesenchymal-Transition Activation in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer via PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2 Pathways

Figure 5

The effect of SPP1 knockdown on the sensitivity of CRPC cell lines to enzalutamide. (a) SPP1 knockdown significantly inhibited 22Rv1 cell proliferation after enzalutamide treatment and enhanced the enzalutamide sensitivity from to 7.522. (b, c) Cell apoptosis analysis demonstrated that SPP1 knockdown could significantly promote apoptosis rates and enhances apoptosis-promoting effect of enzalutamide. ( values were computed by two-tailed unpaired Student’s -tests, , , and ).
