| The authors assessed the utility of chromosome conformation capture coupled with immunoprecipitation (HiChIP) to identify target genes for prostate cancer genome-wide association studies risk loci. [American Journal of Human Genetics] |

|
| Deregulation of CSN5, a putative androgen receptor (AR), could affect diverse cellular functions that contribute to tumor development. Inhibition of CSN5 repressed metabolic pathways, including oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis in AR-negative prostate cancer cells. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated whether transmembrane serine protease 4 (TMPRSS4) confered cancer stem–like properties to prostate cancer cells and characterized the underlying mechanisms. [Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Researchers identified androgen-deprivation therapy-mediated upregulation of transcription factor 7 like 1 (TCF7L1), which increased the cytokine response and enhanced neuroendocrine differentiation of prostate cancer through interleukin-8/C-X-C motif chemokine receptor type 2 signaling activation. [Oncogenesis] |
|
|
|
| Investigators identified that PCK1 was a pivotal regulator in therapy-induced neuroendocrine differentiation of prostate cancer through a LIF/ZBTB46-driven glucose metabolism pathway. [British Journal of Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated MYB-androgen receptor crosstalk and its functional significance. MYB-overexpressing prostate cancer cells exhibited greater tumorigenicity when implanted orthotopically and quickly regained growth following castration leading to shorter mice survival. [British Journal of Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Androgen receptor has essential roles in the growth of prostate cancer and some breast cancers. A combination of EPI-7170 with palbociclib attenuated the in vivo growth of human CRPC xenografts that were resistant to antiandrogens. [Molecular Cancer therapeutics] |
|
|
|
| The authors revealed that high concentrations of the sympathetic neurotransmitter norepinephrine induced neuroendocrine differentiation-like changes in prostate cancer cells in vitro, evident by their characteristic cellular and molecular changes. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Scientists found that NUAK family kinase 2 (NUAK2) expression was elevated in prostate cancer (PC) and metastatic castration resistant PC versus normal tissue, and expression correlated with an increased risk of metastasis. [Molecular Carcinogenesis] |
|
|
|
| Researchers examined the role of platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs) in androgen-independent PC-3 cells and found that PDGFRα was upregulated in androgen-independent PC-3 cells compared with normal prostate epithelial cells. [Life Sciences] |
| |
|
|
|
| Prostate cancer is a global cancer burden and considerable effort has been made through the years to identify biomarkers for the disease. Investigators present the knowledge acquired during the last decade that constitutes a solid basis for the future development of liquid biopsy tests for prostate cancer. [British Journal of Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Scientists assess the comparative effectiveness and ranking of minimally invasive treatments for lower urinary tract symptoms in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. [BJU International] |
|
|
|
| The authors provide a concise overview of the prostate cancer metabolomics-based potential discriminating molecules in urine samples using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. [Expert Review of Proteomics] |

|
| Texas’ cancer-fighting agency is awarding $24 million to three Dallas-Fort Worth universities for the recruitment of established and emerging researchers. [The Dallas Morning News] |
