    MAPK4 Promotes Prostate Cancer by Concerted Activation of Androgen Receptor and AKT

    Scientists demonstrated that MAPK4 activated androgen receptor (AR) by enhancing GATA2 transcriptional expression and stabilizing GATA2 protein through repression of GATA2 ubiquitination/degradation. MAPK4 expression correlated with AR activation in human castration-resistant prostate cancer.

    EDC3 Phosphorylation Regulates Growth and Invasion through Controlling P-Body Formation and Dynamics

    Prostate cancer cells harboring an mRNA decapping 3 (EDC3) serine 161A mutation showed markedly decreased growth, migration, and invasion in tissue culture and in xenograft models.
    [EMBO Reports]

    AbstractGraphical Abstract

    GRPr-Mediated Photothermal and Thermodynamic Dual-Therapy for Prostate Cancer with Synergistic Anti-Apoptosis Mechanism

    An in vitro study with the castration resistant prostate cancer cell exhibited a significant photothermal therapeutic effect as well as enhanced thermodynamic therapy via generating free radicals.
    [Nanoscale]

    AbstractGraphical Abstract

    EWI-2 Controls Nucleocytoplasmic Shuttling of EGFR Signaling Molecules and miRNA Sorting in Exosomes to Inhibit Prostate Cancer Cell Metastasis

    The authors found that EWI-2 localized on both the cell membrane and exosomes regulated the distribution of miR-3934-5p between cells and exosomes.

    SChLAP1 Promotes Prostate Cancer Development through Interacting with EZH2 to Mediate Promoter Methylation Modification of Multiple miRNAs of Chromosome 5 with a DNMT3a-Feedback Loop

    Scientists investigated the mechanism of SChLAP1 (second chromosome locus associated with prostate-1) on microRNA expression in prostate cancer.

    BRG1 Knockdown Inhibits Proliferation through Multiple Cellular Pathways in Prostate Cancer

    Investigators probed the functions of BRG1 on a background of prostate cancer to investigate how BRG1 controls gene expression programs and cancer cell behavior.

    Raman Spectroscopy and Group and Basis-Restricted Non Negative Matrix Factorization Identifies Radiation Induced Metabolic Changes in Human Cancer Cells

    Scientists combined single cell Raman spectroscopy with group and basis restricted non-negative matrix factorization to identify individual biochemical changes associated with radiation exposure in three human cancer cell lines.

    Modulating the Unfolded Protein Response with ONC201 to Impact on Radiation Response in Prostate Cancer Cells

    Researchers enhanced the acute activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) using radiation and ONC201, a UPR activator. Treating prostate cancer cells with ONC201 quickly increased the expression of all the key regulators of the UPR and reduced oxidative phosphorylation, with cell death.

    Regulation of Anti-Tumorigenic Pathways by the Combinatory Treatment of Calcitriol and TGF-β in PC-3 and DU145 Cells

    The authors in vitro analyzed the combinatory effects of calcitriol and transforming growth factors beta (TGF-β) on cell growth and apoptosis using PC-3 and DU145 human prostate cancer cell lines.

    Response Prediction Biomarkers and Drug Combinations of PARP Inhibitors in Prostate Cancer

    Scientists provide an overview of the potential response prediction biomarkers and synergistic combinations studied in the preclinical and clinical stages, which may expand the population of patients with prostate cancer who may benefit from PARP inhibitors.
    [Acta Pharmacologica Sinica]

    Abstract

    Treating the Patient and Not Just the Cancer: Therapeutic Burden in Prostate Cancer

    Investigators summarize the multiple factors that may contribute to the therapeutic burden of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer, including the interplay between age, comorbidities, concomitant medications, the use of androgen receptor inhibitors, and financial distress.
