    Hsa_circ_0003258 Promotes Prostate Cancer Metastasis by Complexing with IGF2BP3 and Sponging miR-653-5p

    Hsa_circ_0003258 physically bound to insulin like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) in the cytoplasm and enhanced HDAC4 mRNA stability, in which it activated the ERK signaling pathway and finally accelerated the metastasis of prostate cancer.

    EIF4A3-Induced circARHGAP29 Promotes Aerobic Glycolysis in Docetaxel-Resistant Prostate Cancer through IGF2BP2/c-Myc/LDHA Signaling

    Researchers analyzed the expression profiles of circRNAs in docetaxel-resistant and -sensitive prostate cancer cells through RNA sequencing and found that expression of circARHGAP29 was significantly upregulated in docetaxel-resistant cell lines and clinical samples.

    Crosstalk of FGFR1 Signaling and Choline Metabolism Promotes Cell Proliferation and Survival in Prostate Cancer Cells

    Investigators showed that ablation of type I fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR1) in DU145 human prostate cancer cells changed the cell metabolite profile. Among the changes, the choline metabolism profile was the most significantly altered by FGFR1 ablation.

    Inhibitory Effect of Roburic Acid in Combination with Docetaxel on Human Prostate Cancer Cells

    The potential synergistic anticancer effect and the underlying mechanisms of roburic acid in combination with docetaxel on prostate cancer were investigated.

    MIRO2 Regulates Prostate Cancer Cell Growth via GCN1-Dependent Stress Signaling

    Using human cell lines that represent androgen-independent or -sensitive prostate cancer, the authors showed that Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 2 (MIRO2) depletion impaired cell growth, colony formation, and tumor growth in mice.

    Comparative Proteome Analysis Identified CD44 as a Possible Serum Marker for Docetaxel Resistance in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    High serum CD44 levels may have helped identify docetaxel-resistant patients and may have thereby helped optimize clinical decision-making regarding the type and timing of therapy for metastatic CRPC patients.

    Activation of TGF-β – SMAD2 Signaling by IL-6 Drives Neuroendocrine Differentiation of Prostate Cancer through p38MAPK

    Prostate cancer cells were differentiated with interleukin-6 (IL-6) in vitro to identify novel targets or signaling pathways associated with emergence of neuroendocrine prostate cancer on deprivation of androgens.

    LncRNA EIF3J-AS1 Functions as an Oncogene by Regulating MAFG to Promote Prostate Cancer Progression

    Researchers investigated the high level of EIF3J‐AS1 in prostate cancer (PCa) tissues and cells, and used functional assays to show that knocking down EIF3J‐AS1 inhibited PCa cell proliferation and metastatic ability.

    STAT3 as a Target for Sensitizing Prostate Cancer Cells to Irradiation

    Investigators demonstrated that STAT3 blockade with a STAT3 inhibitor or siRNA increased the radiosensitivity of prostate cancer cells and that radiation together with STAT3 blockade induced more apoptosis and double-strand breaks than radiation alone in LNCaP cells.

    Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Modulates the Progression of Prostate Cancer by Regulating the Synthesis of Arginine and Proline and the Expression of Androgen Receptors and Fos Proto-Oncogenes

    Scientists constructed prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-knockdown LNCaP and 22rv1 cell lines and performed metabonomic and transcriptomic analyses to determine the effects of PSMA on prostate cancer metabolism and transcription.

    Obesity and Biochemical Recurrence in Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 86,490 Patients

    The association of obesity with biochemical recurrence (BCR) after treatment of clinically localized prostate cancer shows inconsistent results. Investigators systematically review all evidence evaluating obesity as a prognostic factor for BCR.

    Beyond Prostate Specific Antigen: New Prostate Cancer Screening Options

    The authors carried out an extensive literature search for the different biomarkers available for screening and diagnosis of prostate cancer and compared their performance with serum prostate specific antigen to allow clinicians to draw meaningful conclusions to offer their patients more personalized medical care.
