    PanCancer Analysis of Somatic Mutations in Repetitive Regions Reveals Recurrent Mutations in snRNA U2

    Investigators identified a recurrent mutation at position c.28 in the gene encoding the snRNA U2. This mutation was present in B cell derived tumors, as well as in prostate and pancreatic cancer, suggesting U2 c.28 constitutes a driver candidate associated with worse prognosis.

    Theaflavin-3,3′-Di-Gallate Represses Prostate Cancer by Activating the PKCδ/aSMase Signaling Pathway through a 67 kDa Laminin Receptor

    The anti-prostate cancer effect of TF-3 was attributed to the expression of the 67 kDa laminin receptor (67LR), which is overexpressed in various cancers, playing a vital role in the growth and metastasis of tumor cells.

    Risk Subtyping and Prognostic Assessment of Prostate Cancer Based on Consensus Genes

    Researchers performed molecular subtyping and prognostic assessment based on consensus genes in patients with prostate cancer. Five cohorts containing 1,046 prostate cancer patients with RNA expression profiles and recorded clinical follow-up information were included.

    GNE-493 Inhibits Prostate Cancer Cell Growth via Akt-mTOR-Dependent and -Independent Mechanisms

    A constitutively-active mutant Akt1 restored Akt-mTOR activation but only partially ameliorated GNE-493-induced prostate cancer cell death. Moreover, GNE-493 was still cytotoxic in Akt1/2-silenced primary prostate cancer cells.

    Prognostic Value of Long Noncoding RNA SNHG11 in Patients with Prostate Cancer

    RT-qPCR was used to test the expression of SNHG11 in prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia tissues, as well as in cell lines. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression assays were introduced to evaluate the prognostic meaning of SNHG11 in prostate cancer.

    LncRNA GAS5 Enhances Tumor Stem Cell-Like Medicated Sensitivity of Paclitaxel and Inhibits Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition by Targeting the miR-18a-5p/STK4 Pathway in Prostate Cancer

    Scientists identified downregulated long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) in prostate cancer that was associated with metastasis and paclitaxel resistance.

    Kaempferol Suppresses Androgen-Dependent and Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer by Regulating Ki67 Expression

    Plate clone formation assay was performed to detect the effect of kaempferol on cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to detect the impact of kaempferol on cell apoptosis and cell cycle distribution.
