Cholesterol accumulation, lipid droplet formation, and steroid production in Leydig cells: Role of translocator protein (18 ‐kDa)
ConclusionThese results support the conclusion that FGIN ‐1‐27 stimulates steroid formation by increasing TSPO‐mediated cholesterol translocation into the inner mitochondria for steroidogenesis, as well as into the cytosol for lipid droplet formation. FGIN‐1‐27 also increased steroid formation at least in part by inducing the conversion of chole steryl ester located in lipid droplets to cholesterol, thus making available more substrate for steroid formation.

Simvastatin Up ‐Regulates Annexin A10 That Can Inhibit the Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion in Androgen‐Independent Human Prostate Cancer Cells
CONCLUSIONOur results suggest that statins inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of androgen‐independent prostate cancer cells by up‐regulation of ANXA10. Additionally, it is possible that S100A4 plays a role in these effects. Statins may be beneficial in the prevention and/or treatment of prostate cancer. Prostate © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
