    Aberrant CREB1 Activation in Prostate Cancer Disrupts Normal Prostate Luminal Cell Differentiation

    Researchers discovered that CREB1 played a central role in maintaining new luminal cell survival and that oncogenesis dramatically changed the CREB1-induced transcriptome. CREB1 was active in luminal cells, but not basal cells.

    A Cyclometalated IrIII Complex Conjugated to a Coumarin Derivative Is a Potent Photodynamic Agent against Prostate Differentiated and Tumorigenic Cancer Stem Cells

    The authors showed that photoactivated 3 very efficiently eliminated both prostate bulk, differentiated, and prostate, hardly treatable cancer stem cells simultaneously and with similar efficiency.

    Abstract

    Targeting KDM1B-Dependent miR-215-AR-AGR2-Axis Promotes Sensitivity to Enzalutamide-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    Downregulation of miR-215 was correlated with overexpression of KDM1B in enzalutamide-resistant prostate cancer cells, which promoted AR-dependent AGR2 transcription and regulated the sensitivity to next-generation AR-targeted therapy.

    Abstract

    CDC2-Like (CLK) Protein Kinase Inhibition as a Novel Targeted Therapeutic Strategy in Prostate Cancer

    Scientists measured the effect of the CLK inhibitor, the benzothiazole TG003, on two prostate cancer cell lines. TG003 reduced cell proliferation and increased apoptosis in PC3 and DU145 cells.

    Novel, Non-Invasive Markers for Detecting Therapy Induced Neuroendocrine Differentiation in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients

    Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) diagnosis is challenging as available markers are not sufficiently specific. Investigators identified novel, extracellular vesicles-based biomarkers for diagnosing NEPC.

    Prostate Cancer Cell Extracellular Vesicles Increase Mineralization of Bone Osteoblast Precursor Cells in an In Vitro Model

    Using osteoblasts as a model system, scientists observed that prostate cancer cells and their conditioned medium could stimulate and increase mineralization and osteoblasts’ differentiation.

    Synthesis and Evaluation of Tumor-Homing Peptides for Targeting Prostate Cancer

    Researchers determined which prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-binding peptide among peptides 563, 562 and 9-mer, showed the highest selectivity towards PSMA using 22Rv1 prostate cancer cells, a cell line with moderate PSMA levels.

    Kinetics of Radium-223 and Its Effects on Survival, Proliferation and DNA Damage in Lymph-Node and Bone Metastatic Prostate Cancer Cell Lines

    Scientists characterized the radiobiological effects induced by Radium-223 and evaluated its kinetics on metastatic prostate cancer cells.

    PRMT5: A Putative Oncogene and Therapeutic Target in Prostate Cancer

    The authors focus on recent progress made in prostate cancer, including the role of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) in the androgen receptor expression and signaling and DNA damage response, particularly DNA double-strand break repair.
