    Inhibition of CAMKK2 Impairs Autophagy and Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer via Suppression of AMPK-ULK1 Signaling

    Investigators used molecular, genetic, and pharmacological approaches to elucidate an androgen receptor-mediated autophagy cascade involving Ca22+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CAMKK2), 5’-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and Unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1 (ULK1), but independent of the canonical mechanistic target of rapamycin activity.

    Abstract

    Synthesis and Evaluation of 18F-Enzalutamide, a New Radioligand for PET Imaging of Androgen Receptors: A Comparison with 16β-18F-Fluoro-5α-Dihydrotestosterone

    In vitro cellular uptake studies with 18F-enzalutamide and 16β-18F-fluoro-5α-dihydrotestosteron were performed in LNCaP and HEK293 cells.

    Val16A SOD2 Polymorphism Promotes Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Antagonized by Muscadine Grape Skin Extract in Prostate Cancer Cells

    The authors hypothesized that SOD2 Val16A single nucleotide polymorphism may promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition. They analyzed SOD2 expression and genotype in various prostate cell lines.

    Circulating Prostate Cancer Cells Have Differential Resistance to Fluid Shear Stress-Induced Cell Death

    Researchers explored how prostate circulating tumor cells could resist cell death in response to forces of >1,000 dyn/cm2. Human prostate cancer cell lines were used to represent cells of different metastatic origins.

    Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer Has Distinctive, Non-Prostatic HOX Code that Is Represented by the Loss of HOXB13 Expression

    Scientists applied the HOX codes to the transcriptomic profiles of prostate cancer samples and found that the majority of prostate adenocarcinoma samples sustained a prostate-specific HOX code whereas the majority of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPCa) samples did not, which reflected the anaplastic nature of NEPCa.

    Long Noncoding RNA HOXA11-AS and Transcription Factor HOXB13 Modulate the Expression of Bone Metastasis-Related Genes in Prostate Cancer

    The authors found that homeobox A11 antisense RNA (HOXA11-AS), a highly expressed long noncoding RNA in cell lines derived from prostate cancer bone metastases, promoted the cell invasion and proliferation of PC3 prostate cancer cells.
