    ADP Ribosylation Factor 6 Promotes Contraction and Proliferation, Suppresses Apoptosis and Is Specifically Inhibited by NAV2729 in Prostate Stromal Cells

    Since inorganic arsenic targets prostatic stem cells, researchers hypothesized that arsenic-transformed stem cells showed an impaired TLR3-associated anti-tumor pathway and, therefore, were unresponsive to polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid activation.

    Abstract

    Autophagy Inhibition by Targeting PIKfyve Potentiates Response to Immune Checkpoint Blockade in Prostate Cancer

    Scientists reported a Phase I–cleared orally bioavailable MTKI, ESK981, with a novel autophagy inhibitory property that decreased tumor growth in diverse preclinical models of castration-resistant prostate cancer.
