    Dynamic Prostate Cancer Transcriptome Analysis Delineates the Trajectory to Disease Progression

    Scientists generated a comprehensive prostate cancer transcriptome atlas that described the roadmap to tumor progression in a qualitative and quantitative manner. Using patient-derived xenograft models, they functionally validated their observations and added single-cell resolution.

    Prostate Tumor-Induced Stromal Reprogramming Generates Tenascin C That Promotes Prostate Cancer Metastasis through YAP/TAZ Inhibition

    Investigators showed that endothelial-to-osteoblast transition led to changes in the tumor microenvironment that increased the metastatic potential of prostate cancer cells.

    rAAV-Delivered PTEN Therapeutics for Prostate Cancer

    The effect of PTEN on prostate cancer cell migration, apoptosis and the cell cycle was analyzed in vitro using a wound healing assay and flow cytometry.

    Tracing TET1 Expression in Prostate Cancer: Discovery of Malignant Cells with a Distinct Oncogenic Signature

    A large-scale immunohistochemical analysis of ten–eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 1 (TET1) was performed in normal prostate and prostate cancer using conventional slides and tissue microarrays.

    Transcriptional Regulation and Ubiquitination-Dependent Regulation of HnRNPK Oncogenic Function in Prostate Tumorigenesis

    Scientists noted that heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (HnRNPK) emerged as an important player in the carcinogenesis process of prostate cancer (PrCa). miR-206 and miR-613 suppressed HnRNPK expression by targeting its 3’-UTR in PrCa cell lines in which HnRNPK was overexpressed.

    Therapeutic Potential of TRPM8 Antagonists in Prostate Cancer

    Researchers characterized and investigated the effects of transient receptor potential melastatin-8 (TRPM8) modulators in prostate cancer aggressiveness disclosing the molecular mechanism underlying their biological activity.

    Ring A/B-modified 17β-Hydroxywithanolide Analogues as Antiproliferative Agents for Prostate Cancer and Potentiators of Immunotherapy for Renal Carcinoma and Melanoma

    Physachenolide C is a 17β-hydroxywithanolide natural product with a unique anticancer potential, as it exhibited potent and selective in vitro antiproliferative activity against prostate cancer (PC) cells. Investigators explored the effect of ring A/B modifications of physachenolide C on biological activities.

    Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote the Progression of Prostate Cancer through the SDF-1/CXCR4 Axis In Vivo and Vitro

    Scientists investigated the involvement of the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis in the process of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSC) homing in prostate cancer (PCa) in vivo and in vitro and suggested that BMMSCs could home and promote the proliferation and migration of PCa through the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis.

    In Vivo Evaluation of Nanostructured Lipid Carrier Systems (NLCS) in Mice Bearing Prostate Cancer Tumors

    Curmumin (CRN)-NLC nanoparticles were administrated to nude mice with LNCaP prostate cancer xenografts and demonstrated substantial tumor volume suppression with no weight loss compared to pure CRN.

    Hsa_circ_0030586 Promotes Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition in Prostate Cancer via PI3K-AKT Signaling

    Investigators showed that hsa_circ_0030586 was significantly upregulated in prostate cancer (PCa) cells. Interfering with hsa_circ_0030586 in PC3 cells inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.

    Understanding and Targeting Prostate Cancer Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity

    Scientists discuss prostate cancer (PCa) from the perspective of an abnormal organ development and deregulated cellular differentiation, and discuss the luminal progenitor cells as the likely cells of origin for PCa.

    Overview of Seminal Fluid Biomarkers for the Evaluation of Chronic Prostatitis: A Scoping Review

    Investigators synthesize all the available data for seminal fluid biomarkers used to assess patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Inflammatory seminal biomarkers were the most frequently studied, with IL6, IL8, TNFα and IL1β being the most promising candidates

    Abstract

    Metagenomics Studies for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Prostate Cancer

    The authors question the role of metagenomics studies in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer (PC). Based on next-generation sequencing-generated data, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Bacteriodetes are the nine frequent phyla detected in a PC sample.

    Trial with Darolutamide in Combination with Docetaxel and Androgen Deprivation Therapy Meets Primary Endpoint of Significantly Increasing Overall Survival in Patients with Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer

    The Phase III ARASENS trial investigating the use of the oral androgen receptor inhibitor darolutamide in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, darolutamide in combination with docetaxel and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) significantly increased overall survival compared to placebo, docetaxel and ADT.
