  ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer mortality in men in the Western World. The effects of androgens are mediated by the Androgen Receptor (AR). Therefore, studies focus on the identification of AR-regulated genes that are also highly expressed in the prostate. STAMP family genes STAMP1/STEAP2 and STAMP2/STEAP4 have only expressed in androgen receptor-positive cells, the role of AR in STAMP family gene expression is an important question. STEAP (Six Transmembrane Epithelial Antigens of Prostate) is the first characterized prostate enriched six transmembrane genes, expressed in metastatic prostate cancer samples, it is tempting to speculate that STAMP/STEAP family genes may be involved in similar functions with a role for both the normal biology and pathophysiology of the prostate. Using siRNA technology in LNCaP cells expressing STAMP genes per se, an apoptosis panel including pro-apoptotic and/or apoptotic molecules was assayed by RT-PCR. In this research project, the prostate-specific STAMP gene family and its regulatory effects on the nuclear factor kappa B and caspase-related pathways were characterized. Considering that the beta-actin response in the control group was high in the immunolabeling studies, an increase in the induction of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) was detected in the signals received with the vital proteins NFkB and akt, which were silenced by siRNA, which means that STAMP genes potentiate vital proteins.
