    Loss of EGR3 Is an Independent Risk Factor for Metastatic Progression in Prostate Cancer

    In prostate cancer cells, EGR3 blocked the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition process and suppressed cell migration and invasion.

    PIM1 Accelerates Prostate Cancer Cell Motility by Phosphorylating Actin Capping Proteins

    Researchers identified capping proteins CAPZA1 and CAPZB2 as PIM1 substrates, and showed that phosphorylation of either of them led to increased adhesion and migration of human prostate cancer cells.

    DNMT1 and DNMT3B Regulate Tumorigenicity of Human Prostate Cancer Cells by Controlling RAD9 Expression through Targeted Methylation

    Investigators demonstrated DNA methyltransferases DNMT1 and DNMT3B were highly abundant in prostate cancer cells, yet these DNMTs bound primarily to the transcription suppressor in DU145.

    Long Non-Coding RNA SNHG6 Regulates the Sensitivity of Prostate Cancer Cells to Paclitaxel by Sponging miR-186

    Small nucleolar RNA host gene 6 (SNHG6) expression was increased and miR-186 expression was reduced in drug-resistant prostate cancer tissues and cells.

    Cytotoxic Effects of a Triterpene-Enriched Fraction of Cecropia Pachystachya on the Human Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer PC3 Cell Line

    The analysis of nuclear morphology of PC3 cells treated with triterpene-enriched fraction increased the number of cells with large and regular nuclei suggesting senescence induction, which was supported by β-galactosidase overexpression.

    LINC00992 Contributes to the Oncogenic Phenotypes in Prostate Cancer via Targeting miR-3935 and Augmenting GOLM1 Expression

    Elevated levels of LINC00992 and GOLM1 were detected in prostate cancer tissues and cells. LINC00992 exerted facilitating functions in prostate cancer cell proliferation and migration.

    Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Mobilizes Intracellular Ca2+ in Prostate Cancer Cells through Combined Ca2+ Entry and Ca2+-Induced Ca2+ Release

    Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) induced an internal Ca2+ increase in prostate cancer (PCa) cells by a multi-step mechanism. Researchers confirmed the possibility of using EGCG as a synergistic adjuvant in combined therapies for recalcitrant malignancies like androgen-independent PCa.
