Long-term exposure to supraphysiological levels of testosterone impacts rat sub...
Valente-Santos, J; Vitorino, R; Sousa-Mendes, C; Oliveira, Paula; Colaço, B; Faustino-Rocha, Ana; Neuparth, MJ; Leite-Moreira, A; Duarte, JAThe salivary glands play a central role in the secretion of saliva, whose composition and volume affect oral and overall health. A lesser-explored dimension encompasses the possible changes in salivary gland proteomes in response to fluctuations in sex hormone levels. This study aimed to examine the effects of chronic exposure to testosterone on salivary gland remodeling, particularly focusing on proteomic adap...
Pharmacological NF-κB inhibition decreases cisplatin chemoresistance in muscle-...
Gil da Costa, Rui; Levesque, C; Bianchi-Frias D; Chatterjee, P; Lam, HM; Santos, C; Coleman, IM; Ferreirinha, P; Vilanova, M; Pinto da Cunha, NMost patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) are not cured with platinum chemotherapy. Up-regulation of nuclear factor kappa light-chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) is a major mechanism underlying chemoresistance, suggesting that its pharmacological inhibition may increase platinum efficacy. NF-κB signaling was investigated in two patient cohorts. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) was used to...
Appraising animal models of prostate cancer for translational research: future ...
Nascimento-Gonçalves, E; Seixas, F; Gil da Costa, R; Pires, MJ; Neuparth, MJ; Moreira-Gonçalves, D; Fardilha, M; Faustino-Rocha, Ana I; Colaço, BThe growing incidence of prostate cancer has prompted a great investment in basic biology and translational studies to develop new therapies. Multiple animal models have been established to study etiological factors, cancer-preventive strategies and the molecular determinants of aggressiveness and metastases. The rat model of prostate cancer induced by chemical carcinogen N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) and testos...

Nascimento-Gonçalves, E; Seixas, F; Palmeira, C; Martins, G; Duarte, JA; Faustino-Rocha, Ana I; Colaço, B; Pires, MJ; Neuparth, MJ; Moreira-Gonçalves, DThis work aimed to understand how lifelong exercise training promotes the remodelling of the immune system and prostate signalome in a rat model of PCa. Fifty-five male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: control sedentary, control exercised, induced PCa sedentary and induced PCa exercised. Exercised animals were trained in a treadmill for 53 weeks. Pca induction consisted on the sequential administratio...

Nascimento-Gonçalves, E; Seixas, F; Palmeira, C; Martins, G; Fonseca, C; Duarte, JA; Faustino-Rocha, Ana I; Colaço, B; Pires, MJ; Neuparth, MJMaterial & Methods: Fifty-five male Wistar rats were divided into: control sedentary (SED+CONT; n=10), control exercised (EX+CONT; n=10), induced sedentary (SED+PCa; n=15), and induced exercised (EX+PCa; n=20). Exercised animals were trained in a treadmill, for 53 weeks. PCa induction consisted of flutamide and N-methyl-N-nitrosourea administration, followed by testosterone propionate implants. At sacrifice, pr...

Nascimento-Gonçalves, E; Seixas, F; Palmeira, C; Martins, G; Fonseca, C; Duarte, JA; Faustino-Rocha, Ana I; Colaço, B; Pires, MJ; Neuparth, MJBackground: Prostate cancer (PCa) is among the most prevalent cancers worldwide. This work aimed to under- stand the effects of exercise training in a rat model of PCa chemically and hormonally-induced. Material and Methods: Fifty-five male Wistar rats were divided into: control sedentary (SED+CONT; n=10), control exercised (EX+CONT; n=10), induced seden- tary (SED+PCa; n = 15) and induced exercised (EX+PCa; n=...

Successful hormonal and chemical induction of prostate cancer in a rat model: p...
Nascimento-Gonçalves, E; Faustino-Rocha, Ana I; Seixas, F; Colaço, B; Ferreira, R; Oliveira, PAProstate cancer is a very common cancer in men, affecting approximately 1.40 million men worldwide in 2020. To improve the quality of life and survival of both animals and humans, effective therapeutic approaches have been developed and evaluated using animal models. The rat model of prostate cancer induced by a multi-step protocol that consists of a sequential administration of flutamide, followed by testoster...
