    Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 Promotes pICln-Dependent Androgen Receptor Transcription in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    Researchers demonstrated that protein arginine methyltransferase 5 functions as an epigenetic activator of androgen receptor transcription in castration-resistant prostate cancer, requiring cooperation with a methylosome subunit pICln.

    Role of Androgen Receptor Splice Variant-7 (AR-V7) in Prostate Cancer Resistance to 2nd-Generation Androgen Receptor Signaling Inhibitors

    The role of truncated AR-V7 in prostate cancer biology is an unresolved question.The correlation between resistance to AR signaling inhibitors and genetic chances and expression of full length AR vs. AR-V7 were evaluated in a series of independent patient-derived xenografts.

    SERRS Multiplexing with Multivalent Nanostructures for the Identification and Enumeration of Epithelial and Mesenchymal Cells

    The authors present a new protocol based on surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) gold multivalent nanostructures to identify and enumerate tumor cells with epithelial and mesenchymal markers.

    Novel Piperidine Derivatives as Colchicine Binding Site Inhibitors Induce Apoptosis and Inhibit Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition against Prostate Cancer PC3 Cells

    Researchers identified a compound which displayed powerful anticancer activity with the IC50 value of 0.81µM against PC3 cells, which was significantly better than 5-fluorouracil. It could inhibit tubulin polymerisation binding at the colchicine site and inhibit the tumour growth in vitro and in vivo.

    N‑Myc Induces the Tumor Progression of Prostate Cancer by Regulating FSCN1

    In vitro, N‑Myc proto‑oncogene protein and fascin (FSCN1) were overexpressed in LNCaP and C4‑2 cell lines. The results revealed the promoting effect of N‑Myc and FSCN1 on malignant progression of prostate cancer.

    The Role of Extracellular Proteases in Tumor Progression and the Development of Innovative Metal Ion Chelators That Inhibit Their Activity

    Considering direct mechanisms, chelators can bind zinc(II) that plays a catalytic role in enzyme activity. In terms of indirect mechanisms, Dp44mT and DpC potently suppress the expression of the kallikrein-related peptidase—a prostate-specific antigen—in prostate cancer cells.

    LIDDS Announces Data on Liproca Depot from Open Label Extension Study

    LIDDS AB announced results from the voluntary open-label extension of LPC-004 in prostate cancer following the Liproca® Depot Phase IIb. Results showed that 50% of the patients remained at low PSA levels for at least 10 months from their first Liproca® Depot injection and were therefore not treated with a second injection.
