    ETV4
    Promotes Late Development of Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia and Cell Proliferation through Direct and p53-Mediated Downregulation of p21

    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.

    STAT3
    Inhibition with Galiellalactone Effectively Targets the Prostate Cancer Stem-Like Cell Population

    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.

    Assessment
    of STAT5 as a Potential Therapy Target in Enzalutamide-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    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.

    The
    Disruption of Protein-Protein Interactions as a Therapeutic Strategy for Prostate Cancer

    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.
