    BAZ2A-Mediated Repression via H3K14ac-Marked Enhancers Promotes Prostate Cancer Stem Cells

    Scientists showed that BAZ2A was required for prostate cancer (PCa) cells with a cancer stem-like state. BAZ2A genomic occupancy in PCa cells coincided with H3K14ac-enriched chromatin regions.

    Methylseleninic Acid Overcomes Programmed Death-Ligand 1-Mediated Resistance of Prostate Cancer and Lung Cancer

    Scientists showed that methylseleninic acid substantially attenuated cisplatin-induced PD-L1 expression via inhibiting protein kinase B phosphorylation, thereby potentiated cisplatin cytotoxicity in prostate and lung cancer cell models.

    Abstract

    HN1 Interacts with γ-Tubulin to Regulate Centrosomes in Advanced Prostate Cancer Cells

    The co-expression network of HN1 from the TCGA PRAD dataset indicated the putative role of HN1 in centrosome-related processes in the context of prostate cancer. HN1 expression was low in normal RWPE-1 cells as compared to cancerous androgen-responsive LNCaP and androgen insensitive PC-3 cells.

    Abstract

    Reduced DAPK1 Expression Promotes Stem Cell-Like Characteristics of Prostate Cancer Cells by Activating ZEB1 via Hippo/YAP Signaling Pathway

    Compared with tumor-adjacent normal tissues, death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1) expression was reduced in prostate cancer cell lines with respect to that in normal prostate cells.

    Abstract

    Phenotypic Characterization of Two Novel Cell Line Models of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    Researchers generated two novel cell line models which were derived by passaging LAPC4 and VCaP cells in vivo and in vitro under castrate conditions.

    Abstract

    Preferential Interaction of Platelets with Prostate Cancer Cells with Stem Cell Markers

    Scientists characterized the mechanisms behind prostate CSC-platelet interaction. Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting was utilized to separate DU145 and PC3 prostate cancer cells into CD133+/CD44+, CD133+/CD44, CD44+/CD133, and CD133/CD44 subpopulations and to measure their CXCR4 surface expression.
