| 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. [Cancer Research] |

|
| Scientists investigated the anticancer effects of botanical component p-hydroxycinnamic acid on the PC-3 cells in vitro model of bone metastatic human prostate cancer. [Cancer Research] |

|
|
| 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. [Oncogene] |

|
| Investigators studied whether testosterone and androgen receptor signaling interfered with docetaxel treatment efficacy in castration-resistant prostate cancer. [British Journal of Cancer] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Scientific Reports] |

|
|
| 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. [Journal of Enzyme inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry] |

|
| 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. [Oncology Reports] |

|
| 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.

| Veru, Inc. has announced that it has fully enrolled its Phase II clinical study of VERU-111, its novel, oral, alpha and beta tubulin targeting drug for metastatic castration and novel androgen receptor targeting agent resistant prostate cancer. The study enrolled a total of 40 men at 13 clinical sites in the US. [Veru Inc.] |

|
| 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.
