Bicalutamide

Description	Bicalutamide undergoes an antagonist-to-agonist switch, stimulating AR activity. Bicalutamide treatment of LNCaP/AR(cs) cells in absence of the synthetic androgen R1881 results in altered gene expression consistent with its well-documented agonist activity in context of AR overexpression. Bicalutamide induces cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, and only partially antagonized the effects of R1881. Bicalutamide treatment also results in a significant amount of nuclear AR, although less than that observed with R1881. Bicalutamide exhibits partial agonist activity as evidenced by induction of DNA binding at AR target genes and incomplete antagonism of the effects of R1881. In absence of R1881, Bicalutamide partially activates VP16-AR–mediated transcription, indicative of AR binding to DNA. In LNCaP/AR-luc cells with a stably integrates AR-driven luciferase reporter construct. In the presence of R1881, Bicalutamide shows only weak partial antagonism of VP16-AR–mediated transcript
