B1 but not B2 bradykinin receptor agonists promote DU145 prostate cancer cell proliferation and migration

African Health Sciences, Volume 14, No. 3, Year 2014

Background: The kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) is an endogenous pathway involved in angiogenesis and tumourigenesis, both vital for cancer growth and progression. Objectives: To investigate the effect of two bradykinin receptor (B1R and B2R) agonists on growth and motility of prostate tumour (DU145) and micro-vascular endothelial cells (dMVECs).
