The activity of the androgen receptor variant AR‐V7 is regulated by FOXO1 in a PTEN‐PI3K‐AKT‐dependent way

Abstract

The androgen receptor (AR) AR‐V7 splice isoform is a constitutively active outlaw transcription factor. Transition of prostate cancer (PC) to the castration‐resistant phenotype correlates with AR‐V7 accumulation, suggesting that PC progression in patients refractory to conventional therapy is due to the activity of this AR isoform. The mechanism of AR‐V7 constitutive activation is not known.
