    FGFR Blockade by Pemigatinib Treats Naïve and Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

    Investigators validated the therapeutic efficacy of the FDA-approved FGFR inhibitor pemigatinib, in an integrated platform consisting of human and murine prostate cancer (PCa) cells, and the transgenic multistage TRAMP model of PCa that recapitulated both androgen-dependent and CRPC settings.

    CircSERPINA3 Regulates SERPINA3-Mediated Apoptosis, Autophagy and Aerobic Glycolysis of Prostate Cancer Cells by Competitively Binding to MiR-653-5p and Recruiting BUD13

    Researchers suggested that circSERPINA3 regulated apoptosis, autophagy and aerobic glycolysis of prostate cancer cells by competitively binding to miR-653-5p and recruiting BUD13.

    Androgen Receptor Regulates eIF5A2 Expression and Promotes Prostate Cancer Metastasis via EMT

    The authors elucidated the function of androgen receptor (AR) in prostate cancer (PCa) and suggested that AR positively regulated eIF5A2 expression in androgen-dependent cells, and stimulation of AR expression and signaling in prostate tumors promoted PCa metastasis.

    Exosomal Long Noncoding RNA HOXD-AS1 Promotes Prostate Cancer Metastasis via miR-361-5p/FOXM1 Axis

    Scientists discovered an exosomal lncRNA HOXD-AS1 was upregulated in CRPC cell line derived exosomes and serum exosomes from metastatic prostate cancer patients, which correlated with its tissue expression.

    KDM6B Regulates Prostate Cancer Cell Proliferation by Controling C-MYC Expression

    Elevated expression of lysine demethylase 6A (KDM6A) and 6B (KDM6B) has been reported in prostate cancer (PCa). Researchers reported novel KDM6A/B downstream targets involved in controlling PCa cell proliferation.

    Combination Therapy with Novel Androgen Receptor Antagonists and Statin for Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    The authors investigated a combination therapy of novel androgen receptor (AR) antagonists and statin, simvastatin, for CRPC and found that a combination of novel AR antagonists and simvastatin could potentially affect CRPC growth through both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent mechanisms.

    Transcription Factor Network Analysis Based on Single Cell RNA-Seq Identifies That Trichostatin-A Reverses Docetaxel Resistance in Prostate Cancer

    Docetaxel is the first cytotoxic chemotherapeutical approved for treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). However, 99% of PCa patients will develop resistance to docetaxel within three years. Investigators identified a shared transcription factor activity network that drove docetaxel resistance in PCa.

    miRNA-214-5p Inhibits Prostate Cancer Cell Proliferation by Targeting SOX4

    The authors explored the expression level of miR-214-5p in prostate cancer and made a preliminary study of its molecular mechanism in the development of prostate cancer to provide effective new strategies for the treatment of prostate cancer.

    Co-Delivery of the Autophagy Inhibitor Si-Beclin1 and the Doxorubicin Nano-Delivery System for Advanced Prostate Cancer Treatment

    Scientists aimed to improve the sensitivity and efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs through the inhibition of autophagy. They suggested that the amphiphilic peptide micelle systems developed had the potential to combine autophagy inhibition and chemotherapy in cancer treatment, especially for prostate cancer.
