|
| By co-culturing prostate cancer (PCa) cells with osteoblasts to mimic PCa bone metastases, investigators found that RBM3 upregulated the N6-methyladenosine methylation on the mRNA of catenin beta 1 (CTNNB1) in a manner dependent on methyltransferase 3. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Scientists found that upregulation of hyaluronan-mediated motility receptor (HMMR) was observed in prostate cancer (PCa) samples and was associated with poor prognosis. HMMR significantly promoted PCa proliferation and metastasis through gain- and loss-of function approaches in vitro and in vivo. [Cell Death Discovery] |

|
| Researchers demonstrated that cadmium exposure reduced the levels of mitochondrially-localized signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) using human prostate stromal cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts. [Communications Biology] |

|
|
| To test whether DNA methylation could result in the reduced expression of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II inhibitor I (CAMK2N1) in prostate cancer, the DNA methylation level of CAMK2N1 in prostate cells was determined by bisulfite sequencing, pyrosequencing, and in silico analysis.

|
| Investigators evaluated the molecular mechanisms through which cholinergic receptor muscarinic 3 (CHRM3) overexpression facilitated castration-resistant growth. Small RNA-sequencing combined with in silico analyses revealed that CHRM3 was a putative target of miR-15b-5p. [Febs Letters] |

|
| Scientists extended the concept of 5-fluorouracil/heme oxygenase 1 (5-FU/HO-1) inhibitor hybrid as an effective strategy for enhancing 5-FU-based anticancer therapies. [Chemmedchem] |

|
|
| To examine whether HIF-1α in the hypoxic microenvironment mediates the transformation of prostate cancer to a stem cell phenotype, prostate cancer stem cells from PC-3 cell lines were examined for the expression of CD44, CD133, ALDH1, HIF-1α, Notch1, and HES1.

|
|
| Researchers investigated the functionalization of gold nanoparticles with D2B to generate favorable physicochemical and biological properties that mediate specific binding to prostate cancer. [Acs Applied Bio Materials] |

|
| The authors review and discuss the up-to-date knowledge on atypical chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR7) regulation and function and how this new understanding guides the development of CXCR7 inhibitors, focusing on prostate cancer. [Oncogene] |
