    The Non-Canonical Mechanism of ER Stress-Mediated Progression of Prostate Cancer

    Scientists provided the novel mechanistic model of ATF6 activation and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress implication in the progression of prostate cancer, suggesting ATF6 is a novel promising target for prostate cancer therapy.

    Development of a Benzothiazole Scaffold-Based Androgen Receptor N-Terminal Inhibitor for Treating Androgen-Responsive Prostate Cancer

    Investigators described the identification of A4B17, a small molecule that inhibits BAG1L– androgen receptor (AR) N-terminal domain (NTD) interaction, attenuated BAG1L-mediated AR NTD activity, downregulated AR target gene expression, and inhibited proliferation of AR-positive prostate cancer cells.

    The Tumor Suppressor miR-642a-5p Targets Wilms Tumor 1 Gene and Cell-Cycle Progression in Prostate Cancer

    Researchers confirmed the prostatic oncogene WT1, as a direct target of miR-642a-5p, and treatment of 22Rv1 and LNCaP prostate cancer cells with WT1 siRNA or a small molecule inhibitor of WT1 reduced cell proliferation.

    Functional Characterization of HIC, a P2Y1 Agonist, as a p53 Stabilizer for Prostate Cancer Cell Death Induction

    To outline the inhibitory role of HIC on prostate cancer cells, PC-3 and DU145 cell lines were treated with the respective IC50 concentrations, which reduced cell proliferation, adherence properties and spheroid formation.

    AbstractGraphical Abstract

    Pro-Angiogenic Effect of PC-3 Exosomes in Endothelial Cells In Vitro

    Considering that exosomes are important components in communication between tumor cells and the microenvironment, researchers examined the angiogenic potential of exosomes released from prostate cancer cell lines with distinctive profiles of androgen response through exosomes isolation, microscopy and uptake, functional assays follow up by microarray, RT-qPCR and bioinformatics analysis.

    Abstract

    eIF5B Regulates the Expression of PD-L1 in Prostate Cancer Cells by Interacting with Wig1

    The effects of interference with eIF5B expression on the growth, morphology, and immunity of the tumor, as well as PD-L1 expression in the tumor, were verified by tumor xenograft assays in vivo.
