    Androgen Signaling Regulates SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Levels and Is Associated with Severe COVID-19 Symptoms in Men

    Target analysis of hit compounds revealed androgen signaling as a key modulator of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) levels. Treatment with antiandrogenic drugs reduced ACE2 expression and protected human embryonic stem cell-derived lung organoids against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    CDK12 Deficiency and the Immune Microenvironment in Prostate Cancer

    To comprehensively characterize the T-cell immune microenvironment of CDK12-deficient prostate cancers, subsets of immunosuppressive CD4+FOXP3 T-cells were increased compared to CDK12-proficient controls.

    Abstract

    Regulation of CEACAM5 and Therapeutic Efficacy of an Anti-CEACAM5-SN38 Antibody-Drug Conjugate in Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer

    Scientists investigated the scope of carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5) expression in end-stage prostate cancer, the basis for CEACAM5 enrichment in euroendocrine prostate cancer, and the therapeutic potential of the CEACAM5 antibody-drug conjugate labetuzumab govitecan in prostate cancer.

    Abstract

    A Novel Metabolic Function of Myc in Regulation of Fatty Acid Synthesis in Prostate Cancer

    The expression of MYC was positively associated with that of key fatty acid synthesis genes including ACLY, ACC1, and FASN in prostate cancer TCGA dataset. Chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed Myc occupancy at the promoters of ACLY, ACC1, and FASN.

    Abstract

    HOX Genes Promote Cell Proliferation and Are Potential Therapeutic Targets in Adrenocortical Tumors

    Scientists showed that Hoxb9 could promote adrenal tumor progression in a sex-dependent manner and identified HOX factors as potential drug targets, leading to novel therapeutic approaches in adrenocortical carcinoma.
