    SPOP Mutations Target STING1 Signaling in Prostate Cancer and Create Therapeutic Vulnerabilities to PARP Inhibitor–Induced Growth Suppression

    Using in silico genomic and transcriptomic tumor data, proteomics analysis and genetically modified cell line models, the authors demonstrated mechanistic links between Speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) mutations, STING signaling alterations, and PARP inhibitor vulnerabilities.

    Abstract

    SETD7 Functions as a Transcription Repressor in Prostate Cancer via Methylating FOXA1

    Investigators demonstrated that LSD1 could demethylate the lysine 270 of FOXA1 in prostate cancer cells, leading to the stabilization of FOXA1 chromatin binding.

    Abstract

    Klotho-Beta Attenuates Rab8a-Mediated Exosome Regulation and Promotes Prostate Cancer Progression

    Researchers determined that KLB was upregulated in prostate cancer and its expression level was positively correlated with prostate cancer malignant phenotype both in vitro and in vivo.

    Abstract

    Persistent Organic Pollutants Promote Aggressiveness in Prostate Cancer

    The authors found that dioxin or PCB-153 exposure increased hallmarks of growth and metastasis of prostate cancer cells ex vivo and in grafted NOD-SCID mice.

    Abstract

    Glucocorticoid Receptor-Induced Non-Muscle Caldesmon Regulates Metastasis in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    Scientists report that in vitro downregulation of low-molecular-weight caldesmon promoted epithelial phenotype and reduced spheroid growth in 3D, which was reflected in vivo in reduced formation of metastases in zebrafish prostate cancer xenografts.

    SHOX2 Promotes Prostate Cancer Proliferation and Metastasis through Disruption of the Hippo-YAP Pathway

    Researchers found that SHOX2 expression was significantly raised in prostate cancer (PCa) tissues and was associated with clinicopathological features as well as disease-free survival of PCa patients.
