The calcimimetic R-568 induces apoptotic cell death in prostate cancer cells
Abstract Background Increased serum level of parathyroid hormone (PTH) was found in metastatic prostate cancers.Calcimimetic R-568 was reported to reduce PTH expression, to suppress cell proliferation and to induce apoptosis in parathyroid cells.In this study, we investigated the effect of R-568 on cellular survival of prostate cancer cells.Methods
