    Subtype Heterogeneity and Epigenetic Convergence in Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer

    Scientists analyzed cell lines, patient-derived xenograft models and human clinical samples to show the existence of two distinct neuroendocrine prostate cancer subtypes based on the expression of the neuronal transcription factors ASCL1 and NEUROD1.

    Computational Modeling Identifies Multitargeted Kinase Inhibitors as Effective Therapies for Metastatic, Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    Researchers applied a systems-based modeling approach called kinome regularization to identify multitargeted kinase inhibitors that abrogated castration-resistant prostate cancer growth.

    Single-Cell Analysis Reveals Androgen Receptor Regulates the ER-to-Golgi Trafficking Pathway with CREB3L2 to Drive Prostate Cancer Progression

    Investigators used single-cell transcriptome analysis to reconstruct the transcriptional network of androgen receptor (AR) in prostate cancer. They showed that AR directly regulated a set of signature genes in the ER-to-Golgi protein vesicle-mediated transport pathway.

    Abstract

    LINC00992 Exerts Oncogenic Activities in Prostate Cancer via Regulation of SOX4

    LNC992 elevated SOX4 expression by binding to SOX4 mRNA and recruiting translation initiation factor EIF4A3, thereby promoting the growth and metastasis of prostate cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.

    Abstract

    Aptamer-Conjugated Mesoporous Polydopamine for Docetaxel Targeted Delivery and Synergistic Photothermal Therapy of Prostate Cancer

    Researchers constructed multifunctional nanoparticles, namely AS1411@MPDA-DTX for targeted and synergistic chemotherapy/photothermal therapy of prostate cancer.

    GLI3 Is Stabilized by SPOP Mutations and Promotes Castration Resistance via Functional Cooperation with Androgen Receptor in Prostate Cancer

    The authors showed that GLI3, a key sonic hedgehog pathway effector, was transcriptionally upregulated during androgen deprivation and post-translationally stabilized in prostate cancer cells by mutation of speckle-type POZ protein.

    Abstract

    Panobinostat Reverses HepaCAM Gene Expression and Suppresses Proliferation by Increasing Histone Acetylation in Prostate Cancer

    Scientists investigated the effect of panobinostat, the broad-spectrum histone deacetylases inhibitor, on prostate cancer LNCaP and DU145 cell growth, and observed re-expression of hepatocyte cell adhesion molecule when treated with panobinostat.

    Abstract

    Metformin and Sodium Dichloroacetate Effects on Proliferation, Apoptosis, and Metabolic Activity Tested Alone and in Combination in a Canine Prostate and a Bladder Cancer Cell Line

    Researchers evaluated the independent and synergistic effect of metformin and sodium dichloroacetate on the metabolic activity, cell proliferation, and apoptosis of a canine prostate adenocarcinoma and a transitional cell carcinoma cell line in comparison to a primary canine fibroblast culture.

    Synthesis of 3′- O-Alkyl Homologues and a Biotin Probe of Isorhamnetin and Evaluation of Cytotoxic Efficacy on Cancer Cells

    Investigators synthesized 3′- O -substituted quercetin as isorhamnetin analogues and evaluated the growth inhibitory activity of these derivatives on breast, colon and prostate cancer cell lines.

    Autophagy Provides a Conceptual Therapeutic Framework for Bone Metastasis from Prostate Cancer

    The authors sum up the recent studies on the mechanism of bone metastasis involving key regulatory factors such as macrophages and AKT and further discuss how regulating autophagy is crucial in relieving prostate cancer bone metastasis.
