    In Vitro Engineering of a Bone Metastases Model Allows for Study of the Effects of Antiandrogen Therapies in Advanced Prostate Cancer

    Scientists used an all-human microtissue-engineered model of mineralized metastatic tissue combining human osteoprogenitor cells, 3D printing, and prostate cancer cells, to assess the effects of the antiandrogens, bicalutamide, and enzalutamide in a microenvironment.

    Bidirectional Crosstalk between MAOA and AR Promotes Hormone-Dependent and Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    The authors reported that monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), a mitochondrial enzyme that degrades monoamine neurotransmitters and dietary amines, reciprocally interacted with androgen receptors (AR) in prostate cancer.

    Abstract

    Single Cell Analysis of Mouse and Human Prostate Reveals Novel Fibroblasts with Specialized Distribution and Microenvironment Interactions

    Using single-cell RNA-sequencing, investigators identified and validated the in situ localization of three smooth muscle subtypes and two novel fibroblast subtypes in the human prostate.

    Abstract

    A Kinome-Centered CRISPR-Cas9 Screen Identifies Activated BRAF to Modulate Enzalutamide Resistance with Potential Therapeutic Implications in BRAF-Mutated Prostate Cancer

    Through a kinome-centered CRISPR-Cas9 screen in CWR-R1 prostate cancer cells, scientists identified activated BRAF signaling as a determinant for enzalutamide resistance.

    Lenalidomide and Pomalidomide Inhibit Growth of Prostate Stromal Cells and Human Prostate Smooth Muscle Contraction

    The authors investigated the effects of lenalidomide and pomalidomide on human prostate smooth muscle contraction, cytoskeletal organization, and growth-related functions in stromal cells.

    Abstract

    Alginate Hydrogels Functionalized with β-Cyclodextrin as a Local Paclitaxel Delivery System

    The rheological and mechanical properties of the prepared hydrogels were characterized, as well as in vitro release of the paclitaxel and in vitro activity on PC-3 prostate cancer cells.

    Abstract

    Prostate Cancer Cells Survive Anti-Androgen and Mitochondrial Metabolic Inhibitors by Modulating Glycolysis and Mitochondrial Metabolic Activities

    Researchers showed that anti-androgen enzalutamide (ENZA) resistant prostate cancer cells used more mitochondrial metabolism leading to higher ox-phos as compared to the ENZA-sensitive cells and could become vulnerable to mitochondrial metabolism targeted therapies.

    Abstract

    Long Noncoding RNA GAS5 Interacts and Suppresses Androgen Receptor Activity in Prostate Cancer Cells

    Investigators confirmed that GAS5, a long noncoding RNA, could interact and suppress androgen receptor (AR) transactivation in CRPC C4-2 cells and revealed the important role of GAS5 in AR axis activity regulation and CRPC progression.
