    A COP1-GATA2 Axis Suppresses AR Signaling and Prostate Cancer

    By promoting GATA2 degradation, constitutive photomorphogenesis protein 1 inhibited androgen receptor expression and activation, and repressed prostate cancer cell and xenograft growth and castration resistance.
    [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America]

    Abstract

    Repression of SLC22A3 by the AR-V7/YAP1/TAZ Axis in Enzalutamide-Resistant Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    Researchers observed low SLC22A3 expression and high levels of TAZ or YAP1 in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patient tissues harboring androgen receptor splice variant 7.

    Abstract

    Bioengineered BERA-Wnt5a siRNA Targeting Wnt5a/FZD2 Signaling Suppresses Advanced Prostate Cancer Tumor Growth and Enhances Enzalutamide Treatment

    Investigators developed a novel bioengineered BERA-Wnt5a siRNA construct and demonstrated that inhibition of Wnt5a expression by the BERA-Wnt5a siRNA significantly suppressed tumor growth and enhanced enzalutamide treatment in vivo.
