CCL2 Is a Negative Regulator of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase to Sustain mTOR Complex-1 Activation, Survivin Expression, and Cell Survival in Human Prostate Cancer PC3 Cells

CCL2 is a cytokine prevalent in the prostate cancer tumor microenvironment. Recently, we reported that CCL2 induces the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway to promote prostate cancer PC3 cell survival; however, the mechanism used by CCL2 to maintain mTOR complex-1 (mTORC1) activation requir...
