LABORATORY RESEARCH
Discovery of Non-ETS Gene Fusions in Human Prostate Cancer Using Next-Generation RNA Sequencing
Researchers used next-generation transcriptome sequencing in order to explore the whole transcriptome of 25 human prostate cancer samples for the presence of chimeric fusion transcripts. [Genome Res]
Human RecQL4 Helicase Plays Critical Roles in Prostate Carcinogenesis
Here, researchers report that human RecQL4 helicase, which is implicated in the pathogenesis of a subset of cancer-prone Rothmund-Thomson syndrome, is highly elevated in metastatic prostate cancer cell lines. [Cancer Res]
Class III Beta-Tubulin Expression Predicts Prostate Tumor Aggressiveness and Patient Response to Docetaxel-Based Chemotherapy
Here, researchers describe beta-III-tubulin immunohistochemical staining patterns of prostate tumors obtained from a broad spectrum of prostate cancer (PCa) patients, some of whom subsequently received docetaxel therapy for castration-resistant Pca. [Cancer Res]
Dysregulation of the Mitogen Granulin in Human Cancer Through the miR-15/107 microRNA Gene Group
In this study, researchers queried whether miR-107 and paralogs regulated granulin in human cancers. [Cancer Res]
Knockdown of Inwardly Rectifying Potassium Channel Kir2.2 Suppresses Tumorigenesis by Inducing Reactive Oxygen Species-Mediated Cellular Senescence
Senescence is an important determinant of treatment outcome in cancer therapy. In the present study, researchers show that knockdown of the inwardly rectifying K+ channel Kir2.2 induced growth arrest without additional cellular stress in cancer cells lacking functional p53, p16, and/or Rb. [Mol Cancer Ther]
HOXC8 Inhibits Androgen Receptor Signaling in Human Prostate Cancer Cells by Inhibiting SRC-3 Recruitment to Direct Androgen Target Genes
In the present study, researchers show that HOXC8 inhibits androgen receptor (AR)-mediated gene induction in LNCaP prostate cancer cells and HPr-1 AR, a non-tumorigenic prostate epithelial cell. [Mol Cancer Res]
Comorbidity and Mortality Results From a Randomized Prostate Cancer Screening Trial
Selective use of prostate-specific antigen screening for men in good health appears to reduce the risk of prostate cancer-specific mortality with minimal overtreatment. [J Clin Oncol]
Impact of Androgen-Deprivation Therapy on Cognitive Function in Men With Nonmetastatic Prostate Cancer
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of androgen-deprivation therapy on cognitive function in men with nonmetastatic prostate cancer. [J Clin Oncol]
Impact of Androgen Deprivation Therapy on Physical Function and Quality of Life in Men With Non-Metastatic Prostate Cancer
This prospective longitudinal study evaluated the effect of androgen deprivation therapy on objective and self-reported physical function. [J Clin Oncol]
