TAKE HOME MESSAGE
In the light of our data we propose that the anti-proliferative activity of PGC1α goes
beyond the cell-autonomous activation of catabolic processes presenting the
transcriptional co-regulator as a key metabolic player that modulates secretome
composition and its impact on prostate cancer agressiveness.
