    Phosphorylated MED1 Links Transcription Recycling and Cancer Growth

    Mediator 1 (MED1) phosphorylation increased during prostate cancer progression to the lethal phase, and pharmacological inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase 9 decreased prostate tumor growth by decreasing MED1 phosphorylation and RNA polymerase II recycling.

    Mesenchymal and Stem-Like Prostate Cancer Linked to Therapy-Induced Lineage Plasticity and Metastasis

    Researchers defined mesenchymal and stem-like prostate cancer, traced its origin to therapy-induced lineage plasticity, and revealed its sensitivity to HER2/3 inhibition.

    PPFIA4 Promotes Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer by Enhancing Mitochondrial Metabolism through MTHFD2

    Scientists investigated the expression of the protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type F polypeptide interacting protein alpha 4 (PPFIA4) using public datasets and tumor specimens from prostate cancer cases by immunohistochemistry.

    Abstract

    TMPRSS2-ERG Promotes the Initiation of Prostate Cancer by Suppressing Oncogene-Induced Senescence

    In primary prostate luminal epithelial cells, following inducible oncogenic Kras expression or Pten depletion, TMPRSS2-ERG suppressed oncogene-induced senescence, independent of TP53 induction and RB1 inhibition.

    Abstract

    SNAP25 Is a Potential Prognostic Biomarker for Prostate Cancer

    The authors indicated a relationship between synaptosome associated protein 25 (SNAP25) expression and prostate cancer, demonstrating that SNAP25 was a potential prognostic biomarker due to its vital role in immune infiltration.

    GH Action in Prostate Cancer Cells Promotes Proliferation Limits Apoptosis and Regulates Cancer-Related Gene Expression

    Investigators addressed the species specificity of growth hormone (GH)-GH receptor activity by investigating GH actions in prostate cancer cell lines derived from a mouse Pten deletion model.

    Abstract

    Fraxetin Down-Regulates Polo-Like Kinase 4 (PLK4) to Inhibit Proliferation, Migration and Invasion of Prostate Cancer Cells through the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase (PI3K)/Protein Kinase B (Akt) Pathway

    The prostatic epithelial cell RWPE-1 and prostate cancer cell DU145 were exposed to Fraxetin to detect the changes in cell viability using cell counting kit-8 assay.
