| Scientists showed RIPK2 was a clinically actionable target for inhibiting prostate cancer (PC) metastasis. RIPK2 was amplified/gained in ~65% of lethal metastatic castration-resistant PC. [Nature Communications] |

|
| The authors identified the up-regulation of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-like aminopeptidase NAALADaseL and the metabotropic glutamate receptors in PSMA-suppressed prostate cancers. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that retinoblastoma (Rb) family proteins played a central role in maintaining the global chromatin binding and transcriptional repression program of androgen receptor, and that Rb inactivation desensitized CRPC to the high-dose testosterone treatment in vitro and in vivo. [Molecular Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Investigators performed functional and synthetic lethal screens in four prostate cancer cell lines which confirmed key roles for HSP70, HSP90, and their co-chaperones, and suggested that the mitochondrial chaperone, HSP60/HSPD1, was selectively required in CRPC cell lines. [Cell Chemical Biology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the effect of PMD-026 on YB-1/AR signaling and its antitumor effect in prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo and demonstrated an excellent antitumor effect of the novel ribosomal S6 kinase inhibitor PMD-026 and the combination effect with the antiandrogen enzalutamide in CRPC. [Cancer Science] |
|
|
|
| Researchers found that combining p110β with RAC/PAK1 or tankyrase inhibitors significantly reduced the growth of murine and human CRPC organoids in vitro and in vivo. [Molecular Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Investigators compared the transcriptomes of nine canine cell lines derived from prostate adenocarcinoma (PAC), PAC metastasis and transitional cell carcinoma to their respective original primary tumor or metastasis tissues. [Cancer Cell International] |
|
|
|
| The authors explored the effect of the upregulation or downregulation of the NPM1 protein on the malignancy of prostate cancer and its possible signaling pathway. [Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that SU086 inhibited the growth of prostate cancer cells in vitro, cell-line, and patient-derived xenografts in vivo, and ex vivo prostate cancer patient specimens. [Cell Reports Medicine] |
| |
|
|
|
| Various mechanisms of resistance have been identified including the development of androgen receptor-independent aggressive variant prostate cancer based on neuroendocrine transdifferentiation (NED). Scientists review the highly complex processes contributing to NED. [Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| The authors discuss androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) history, use of leuprolide, degarelix, and relugolix, with contextual use of ADT in combination with androgen-signaling inhibitors and potential mechanisms of resistance. [Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy] |

|
| LAVA Therapeutics announced dosing of the first patient in the company’s Phase I/IIa clinical trial of LAVA-1207 in patients with metastatic CRPC. [LAVA Therapeutics] |
|
|
|
| Ultimovacs announced it has completed treatment of the second dose cohort in the Phase I TENDU trial. The study is designed to evaluate the company’s tetanus-epitope targeting-platform in patients with prostate cancer. [Ultimovacs] |
