    Enhanced Autophagy and NFE2L2/NRF2 Pathway Activation in SPOP Mutation-Driven Prostate Cancer

    Investigators described a new role for SPOP as a negative regulator of autophagy and NFE2L2 pathway activation. SPOP bound and induced the non-degradative ubiquitination of SQSTM1 at Lys420.
    [Autophagy]

    Abstract

    PELO Facilitates PLK1-Induced the Ubiquitination and Degradation of Smad4 and Promotes the Progression of Prostate Cancer

    Scientists showed that PLK1 could interact with Smad4 and promote the ubiquitination and degradation of Smad4 in prostate cancer cells. PLK1 and PELO could bind to different domains of Smad4 and formed a protein complex.

    Abstract

    RNF8 Up-Regulates AR/ARV7 Action to Contribute to Advanced Prostate Cancer Progression

    Bioinformatics and immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated that RNF8 was high expressed in prostate cancer and CRPC samples and the expression of RNF8 was positively correlated with the Gleason score.

    3JC48-3 (Methyl 4′-Methyl-5-(7-nitrobenzo[c][1,2, 5]oxadiazol-4-Yl)-[1,1′-Biphenyl]-3-Carboxylate): A Novel MYC/MAX Dimerization Inhibitor Reduces Prostate Cancer Growth

    Scientists found 3JC48-3 decreased prostate cancer cells’ growth and viability in a dose-dependent fashion in vitro.
    [Cancer Gene Therapy]

    Abstract

    N6-Methyladenosine Demethylase FTO Suppressed Prostate Cancer Progression by Maintaining CLIC4 mRNA Stability

    Researchers suggested that fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) suppressed prostate cancer proliferation and metastasis through reducing the degradation of CLIC4 mRNA in an m6A dependent manner.

    OCT1-Target Neural Gene PFN2 Promotes Tumor Growth in Androgen Receptor-Negative Prostate Cancer

    Scientists performed chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing in patient-derived castration-resistant androgen receptor-negative prostate cancer cells to identify genes that were regulated by OCT1.

    Interferon-γ Increases Sensitivity to Chemotherapy and Provides Immunotherapy Targets in Models of Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    Investigators showed that interferon-γ treatment induced expression of major histocompatibility class-I genes and PD-L1 in prostate cancer cells in vitro.

    Management of Prostate Cancer by Targeting 3βHSD1 after Enzalutamide and Abiraterone Treatment

    Biochanin A inhibited 3βHSD1 and suppressed prostate cancer development alone or together with abiraterone and enzalutamide.

    Single-Cell Proteomics Defines the Cellular Heterogeneity of Localized Prostate Cancer

    Scientists identified prognostic biomarkers and described the heterogeneity of prostate cancer and the associated microenvironment by simultaneously quantifying 36 proteins using single-cell mass cytometry analysis of over 1.6 million cells from 58 men with localized prostate cancer.

    Abstract

    Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Prostatic Urethral Lift versus Prostatic Artery Embolisation for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis

    Scientists assess and compare the clinical efficacy and safety of prostatic urethral lift and prostatic artery 2mbolization for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    [BJU International]

    Abstract

    The Impact of PSMA PET on the Treatment and Outcomes of Men with Biochemical Recurrence of Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

    The authors assess the documented impact of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-PET on patient management and outcomes, including prostate-specific antigen response, and intermediate and long-term outcome measures.
