| Researchers characterized 35,129 cells from mouse prostates, and identified a unique luminal cell typemarked by Tacstd2, Ck4 and Psca expression. [Nature Genetics] |

|
| Genetic and chemical inhibition of DOT1L selectively impaired the viability of androgen receptor-positive prostate cancer cells and organoids, including castration-resistant and enzalutamide-resistant cells. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| By chromatin-immunoprecipitation assay in human prostate cell lines, scientists showed that ETV4 bound to a specific site in the CDKN1A promoter that was proven, by luciferase assay, to be functionally competent. [Journal of Hematology & Oncology] |
|
|
|
| The authors leveraged next-generation sequencing and newly developed analytical methodologies to evaluate the role of androgen receptor signaling in regulating the transcriptome of prostate cancer cells. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that a long noncoding RNA LINC00675 was upregulated in androgen-insensitive prostate cancer cell lines and castration resistant prostate cancer patients. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the effect of galiellalactone, a direct STAT3 inhibitor, on cancer stem cells (CSCs) derived from prostate cancer patients, on docetaxel-resistant spheres with stem cell characteristics, on CSCs obtained from the DU145 cell line in vitro and on DU145 tumors in vivo. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Isobologram analysis revealed that the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 5 inhibitor pimozide combined with enzalutamide had additive and synergistic inhibitory effects on cell viability in the used models. [PLoS One] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors consider the disruption of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) to be a promising though challenging therapeutic strategy for prostate cancer. Agents which modulate PPIs might be employed as a monotherapy or as an adjunct to classical chemotherapeutics to overcome drug resistance and improve efficacy. [Pharmacological Research] |

|
| SimonMed announced its implementation of RSI-MRI+ for Prostate to support improved detection of clinically significant prostate cancer using an advanced diffusion MRI technique. [SimonMed (BusinessWire, Inc.)] |
