Abstract

Background: Despite the critical role of anoikis resistance in prostate cancer progression, the molecular mechanism causing anoikis resistance remains unclear. Results: BLT2 protects prostate cancer cells against anoikis via a NOX-ROS-NF-B-linked pathway. Conclusion: Activation of the BLT2-linked pathway following cell detachment confers anoikis resistance. Significance: Our findings suggest BLT2 as a key regulator of anoikis resistance in prostate cancer cells.
