    Targeting CDCP1 Gene Transcription Coactivated by BRD4 and CBP/p300 in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    Combined knockdown or dual-inhibition of BRD4 and CBP/p300 down-regulated CUB domain-containing protein 1 (CDCP1) transcription and downstream PI3K/AKT and/or SRC/MAPK signaling pathways in CRPC cells much more so than single-protein perturbation.

    The Natural Compound Atraric Acid Suppresses Androgen-Regulated Neo-Angiogenesis of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer through Angiopoietin 2

    The secretome of CRPC cells mediated neo-angiogenesis in an androgen-dependent manner, which was counteracted by atraric acid.

    Plasticity within Aldehyde Dehydrogenase–Positive Cells Determines Prostate Cancer Radiosensitivity

    Transcriptional heterogeneity was analyzed in pools of ten DU145 and PC3 cells with multiplex gene expression analyses and illustrated a higher degree of heterogeneity within the aldehyde dehydrogenase-positive (ALDH+) population that even increased upon irradiation in comparison with ALDH− cells.

    Exploiting Dependence of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer on the Arginine Vasopressin Signaling Axis by Repurposing Vaptans

    Stimulation of arginine vasopressin receptor type 2 (AVPR2) with a selective agonist desmopressin promoted CRPC cell proliferation through cAMP/protein kinase A signaling, consistent with AVPR2 coupling to the G alpha s subunit.

    Abstract

    Non-Drug Efflux Function of ABCC5 Promotes Enzalutamide Resistance in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer via Upregulation of P65/AR-V7

    Researchers determined whether the non-drug efflux function of ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 5 (ABCC5) affected enzalutamide resistance. The ABCC5 expression data in patients with prostate cancer were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus.

    Naftopidil Enantiomers Suppress Androgen Accumulation and Induce Cell Apoptosis via the UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase 2B15 in Benign Prostate Hyperplasia

    Scientists analyzed and demonstrated that two enantiomers of naftopidil, an α1D/1A-adrenoceptor blocker, induced expression and activity of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B (UGT2B) in benign prostate hyperplasia rat prostate models as well as UGT2B15 in human prostate cells, BPH-1.

    A Novel Survivin Dimerization Inhibitor without a Labile Hydrazone Linker Induces Spontaneous Apoptosis and Synergizes with Docetaxel in Prostate Cancer Cells

    The authors showed that the combination of tetracyclic aromatic core and docetaxel had strong synergism in inhibiting prostate cancer cell survival.

    Scutellaria barbata D.Don (SBD) Extracts Suppressed Tumor Growth, Metastasis and Angiogenesis in Prostate Cancer via PI3K/Akt Pathway

    A 2RRV1 mouse xenograft model was established to detect the effect of SBD on prostate cancer (PCa). Angiogenesis was analyzed by coculturing PCa cell lines and human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
