LABORATORY RESEARCH
eIF4E Phosphorylation Promotes Tumorigenesis and is Associated with Prostate Cancer Progression
Here, researchers showed that knock-in mice expressing a nonphosphorylatable form of eIF4E are resistant to tumorigenesis in a prostate cancer model. [Proc Natl Acad Sci USA]
Expression of Receptors for Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone (LH-RH) in Prostate Cancers Following Therapy with LH-RH Agonists
The findings support the concept of targeting cytotoxic LH-RH analogs to prostatic LH-RH receptors, using these receptors to gain entry into cancer cells to deliver a hybridized cytotoxic moiety for the treatment of prostate cancer. [Clin Cancer Res]
High Density Lipoprotein Induces Proliferation and Migration of Human Prostate Androgen Independent Cancer Cells by an ABCA1-dependent Mechanism
In this study, scientists investigated the effect of high density lipoprotein on prostate cancer cell proliferation, migration, intracellular cholesterol levels, and the role of cholesterol transporters, namely ABCA1, ABCG1 and SR-BI in these processes. [Mol Cancer Res]
Oxytocin Induces the Migration of Prostate Cancer Cells: Involvement of the Gi-Coupled Signaling Pathway
Investigators concluded that a Gi-dependent mechanism is involved in oxytocin receptor-mediated migration of prostate cancer cells, and indicates a role for oxytocin receptor in prostate cancer metastasis. [Mol Cancer Res]
Preferential Induction of G1 Arrest in Androgen-Responsive Human Prostate Cancer Cells by Androgen Receptor Signaling Antagonists DL3 and Antiandrogen Bicalutamide
The purpose of this study was to further characterize cell growth-inhibitory effects of a recently identified androgen receptor signaling inhibitor 6-amino-2-[2-(4-tert-butyl-pnenoxy)-ethylsulfanyl]-1H-pyrimidin-4-one and antiandrogen bicalutamide. [Cancer Lett]
Inhibition of ADAM9 Expression Induces Epithelial Phenotypic Alterations and Sensitizes Human Prostate Cancer Cells to Radiation and Chemotherapy
In this study, researchers determined the role of ADAM9 in the therapeutic resistance to radiation and chemotherapy. [Prostate]
Effect of Androgen Deprivation Therapy on the Expression of Prostate Cancer Biomarkers MSMB and MSMB-Binding Protein CRISP3
Using an Affymetrix cDNA microarray analysis, scientists investigated the expression of [beta]-microseminoprotein (MSMB), cysteine-rich secretory protein-3 (CRISP3), androgen receptor, KLK3 and Enhancer of Zeste Homologue-2 (EZH2) in tissue from prostate cancer patients receiving or not receiving androgen deprivation therapy before radical prostatectomy. [Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis]
Curcumin Interrupts the Interaction Between the Androgen Receptor (AR) and Wnt/Beta-Catenin Signaling Pathway in LNCaP Prostate Cancer Cells
In this study, whether curcumin mediates the Wnt/[beta]-catenin signaling pathway with regard to AR/beta-catenin interactions was studied. [Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis]
CLINICAL RESEARCH
Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Five New Susceptibility Loci for Prostate Cancer in the Japanese Population
Here, investigators carried out a genome-wide association study and replication study using 4,584 Japanese men with prostate cancer and 8,801 control subjects. [Nat Genet]
Fatty Acid Synthase Polymorphisms, Tumor Expression, Body Mass Index, Prostate Cancer Risk, and Survival
Researchers examined whether common germline single nucleotide polymorphisms in the fatty acid synthase gene affect prostate cancer (PCa) risk or PCa-specific mortality and whether these effects vary by body mass index. [J Clin Oncol]
Impact of Common Medications on Serum Total Prostate-Specific Antigen Levels: Analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Scientists investigated the impact of individual and combinations of common medications on prostate-specific antigen in a large cross-sectional study of the United States population. [J Clin Oncol]

Canadian Researchers Testing Unique Vaccines for Prion Diseases and Common Cancers
Several Canadian researchers have come together to help control the relentless spread of a prion disease, chronic wasting disease in deer and elk, through vaccines. At the same time they aim to generate safe and effective therapies for common cancers. [PrioNet Canada Press Release]
British Companies to Receive Support to Develop New Regenerative Medicine Products and Technologies
The government-backed Technology Strategy Board is to invest over £5 million to support the research and development in the UK of new regenerative medicine products, tools and technologies. 16 research and development projects in the field of regenerative medicine therapeutics are to receive a total of £3.6 million of investment, while a further £1.6 million is to be invested in 12 feasibility studies in the area of regenerative medicine tools and technologies. [Technology Strategy Board Press Release, United Kingdom]
Oxford BioMedica Announces FDA Approval for TroVax® Phase II Study in Prostate Cancer
Oxford BioMedica announced that it has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee to initiate a clinical Phase II study in the United States to assess the activity of TroVax® (MVA-5T4) in patients with progressive hormone refractory prostate cancer. [Oxford BioMedica Press Release]
OncoGenex Reports Second Quarter Financial Results
OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported unaudited financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and reviewed the Company’s highlights for the second quarter of 2010. [OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Press Release]
Invivo Wins Medical Design Excellence Award for Prostate Solutions
On June 9, 2010, Invivo was recognized with a 2010 Gold Medical Design Excellence Award for its DynaCAD for Prostate and DynaTRIM (Trans-Rectal Interventional MRI) clinical solutions. [Invivo Corporation Press Release]

Senate Spending Panel Approves $1 Billion Boost for NIH
A Senate subcommittee matched President Barack Obama’s request for a $1 billion increase in 2011 for the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
