    BMX Controls 3βHSD1 and Sex Steroid Biosynthesis in Cancer

    Researchers showed that phosphorylation of tyrosine 344 occured and was required for 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-1 (3βHSD1) cellular activity and generation of Δ4, 3-keto-substrates of 5α-reductase and aromatase, including in patient tissues.

    CRISPR Screens Reveal Genetic Determinants of PARP Inhibitor Sensitivity and Resistance in Prostate Cancer

    Scientists performed genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens in BRCA1/2-proficient prostate cancer cells and identified previously unknown genes whose loss had a profound impact on poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor response.

    Selective Androgen Receptor Degrader (SARD) to Overcome Antiandrogen Resistance in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    Investigators found and identified a bifunctional small molecule Z15, which was both an effective androen receptor (AR) antagonist and a selective AR degrader.

    Abstract

    FASN Multi-Omic Characterization Reveals Metabolic Heterogeneity in Pancreatic and Prostate Adenocarcinoma

    To evaluate the association between fatty acid synthase (FASN) expression, methylation, prognosis, and mutational profile in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and prostate cancer, researchers interrogated public databases and surveyed online platforms using TCGA data.

    An Antisense Amido-Bridged Nucleic Acid Gapmer Oligonucleotide Targeting SRRM4 Alters REST Splicing and Exhibits Anti-Tumor Effects in Small Cell Lung Cancer and Prostate Cancer Cells

    Ser/Arg repetitive matrix 4 (SRRM4) expression and RE1-silencing transcription factor (REST) splicing were analyzed by RT-qPCR and conventional RT-PCR after treating SRRM4 antisense oligonucleotide, and cell viability was analyzed in vitro.

    Molecular Mechanisms on How FABP5 Inhibitors Promote Apoptosis-Induction Sensitivity of Prostate Cancer Cells

    The authors investigated the effect of fatty acid-binding protein 5 (FABP5) inhibitors on apoptosis and studied the relevant mechanisms. Wild type recombinant FABP5 significantly reduced apoptotic cells in 22Rv1 and PC3 by 18% and 42%, respectively.

    Artepillin C Overcomes Apalutamide Resistance through Blocking Androgen Signaling in Prostate Cancer Cells

    To search for compounds which overcame the resistance to apalutamide, scientists established apalutamide-resistant prostate cancer 22Rv1 cells (22Rv1/APA). The 22Rv1/APA cells showed higher androgen receptor expression and androgen sensitivity than parental 22Rv1 cells.
