    Opposing Transcriptional Programs of KLF5 and AR Emerge during Therapy for Advanced Prostate Cancer

    Investigators demonstrated the stem cell transcription factor Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) was low or absent in prostate cancers prior to endocrine therapy, but induced in a subset of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), including CRPC displaying lineage plasticity.

    Transcription Recycling Assays Identify PAF1 as a Driver for RNA Pol II Recycling

    Scientists identified RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) recycling as a potential target in cancer, where prostate tumors exhibited enhanced transcriptional recycling, and demonstrated the applicability of in vitro and cellular transcription assays that characterized Pol II recycling in other disease states.

    Loss of Long Non-Coding RNA NXTAR in Prostate Cancer Augments Androgen Receptor Expression and Enzalutamide Resistance

    The authors identified a long non-coding RNA, NXTAR, that was located convergent with the androgen receptor gene and was repressed in human prostate tumors and cell lines.

    Abstract

    Targeting DNMTs to Overcome Enzalutamide Resistance in Prostate Cancer

    Researchers suggested that DNA methylation pathway was deregulated after enzalutamide resistance onset and that targeting DNA methyltransferases restored the sensitivity to enzalutamide in prostate cancer cells.

    Abstract

    The Influence of Differently Functionalized Nanodiamonds on Proliferation, Apoptosis and EMT/MET Phenomena in 2D and 3D Tumor Cell Cultures

    Investigators observed that prostate cancer cells and breast cancer cells cultured with nanodiamonds showed morphological changes and altered gene and protein expression.

    Abstract

    Triterpenoid Ursolic Acid Drives Metabolic Rewiring and Epigenetic Reprogramming in Treatment/Prevention of Human Prostate Cancer

    Scientists investigated the efficacy of ursolic acid in prostate cancer xenografts, and its biological effects on cellular metabolism, DNA methylation, and transcriptomic using multi-omics approaches.

    Abstract

    Exosomal lncAY927529 Enhances Prostate Cancer Cell Proliferation and Invasion through Regulating Bone Microenvironment

    Exosomes were extracted from normal human prostatic epithelial cell lines and prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines by ultrahigh speed centrifugation. Results of Western blot indicated that Alix, HSC70 and TSGl01 protein levels were upregulated in exosomes derived from PCa cells.

    Abstract

    Flavonoids Derived from Anemarrhenae Rhizoma Ameliorate Inflammation of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia via Modulating COX/LOX Pathways

    The authors reported that Anemarrhenae Rhizoma flavonoids inhibited benign prostatic hyperplasia-related inflammation in vivo and in vitro by targeting arachidonic acid metabolism and interfering with cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways.

    Epicatechin Gallate Prevents the De Novo Synthesis of Fatty Acid and the Migration of Prostate Cancer Cells

    Researchers evaluated the potential role of epicatechin gallate in prostate cancer cells and found that epicatechin gallate downregulated the expression of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, ATP citrate lyase, and fatty acid synthase in prostate cancer cells.

    PRNCR1: A Long Non-Coding RNA with a Pivotal Oncogenic Role in Cancer

    The authors summarize available data on prostate cancer-associated non-coding RNA1 (PRNCR1) to date from relevant databases and found diagnostic and prognostic importance of PRNCR1 in some malignancies, suggesting potency of the long non-coding RNAs to serve as a clinical biomarker.
