    PRSS2 Remodels the Tumor Microenvironment via Repression of Tsp1 to Stimulate Tumor Growth and Progression

    Scientists identified a novel tumor-mediated mechanism that repressed the expression of thrombospondin-1 (Tsp-1) in the tumor microenvironment via secretion of the serine protease PRSS2.

    Abstract

    Inhibiting Androgen Receptor Splice Variants with Cysteine-Selective Irreversible Covalent Inhibitors to Treat Prostate Cancer

    Investigators showed that AF-1 and the AR-V7 splice variant formed molecular condensates that exhibited disorder characteristics such as rapid intracellular mobility, coactivator interaction, and euchromatin induction.

    Abstract

    A Potassium-Chloride Co-Transporter Promotes Tumor Progression and Castration Resistance of Prostate Cancer through m6A Reader YTHDC1

    The authors reported that solute carrier family 12 member 5 functioned as an oncogene to promote tumor progression and castration resistance of prostate cancer through the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reader YTHDC1 and the transcription factor HOXB13.
