    Formin-Mediated Nuclear Actin at Androgen Receptors Promotes Transcription

    Researchers identified functional androgen-insensitivity-syndrome-patient mutations in the formin and actin nucleator DAAM2, where its localization correlated with that of the androgen receptor to form actin-dependent transcriptional droplets in response to dihydrotestosterone.

    Inhibition of miR-20a by Pterostilbene Facilitates Prostate Cancer Cells Killed by NK Cells via Up-Regulation of NKG2D Ligands and TGF-β1down-Regulation

    Researchers found pterostilbene, a natural agent with potent anticancer activity, could enhance expression of major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related proteins A and B on prostate cancer cells surface, which are ligands of the natural killer group 2 member D (NKG2D) expressed by natural killer (NK) cells.

    Sympathetic β2-Adrenergic Receptor Blockade Overcomes Docetaxel Resistance in Prostate Cancer

    Scientists examined whether pharmacological inhibition of β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) increased cell sensitivity to docetaxel in castration-resistant prostate cancer cells and the possible regulation of β2-AR in cell autophagy and apoptosis and the several molecular mechanisms.

    Abstract

    In Vitro Induction of Prostate Buds from Murine Urogenital Epithelium in the Absence of Mesenchymal Cells

    Researchers separated the urogenital mesenchyme from the urogenital epithelium (UGE) and tested candidate growth factors to show that when FGF10 is present, testosterone is not required for initiating prostate budding from the UGE.

    Abstract

    miR-629 Repressed LATS2 Expression and Promoted the Proliferation of Prostate Cancer Cells

    Investigators found that miR-629 was markedly up-regulated in prostate cancer which was determined using the cancer genome atlas dataset, clinical tissues, and cell lines.
