    IL-1β Is an Androgen-Responsive Target in Macrophages for Immunotherapy of Prostate Cancer

    Researchers reported that androgen receptor signaling pathway was evidently activated in tumor-associated macrophages of prostate cancer both in mice and humans.

    Post-Transcriptional Modification of m6A Methylase METTL3 Regulates ERK-Induced Androgen-Deprived Treatment Resistance Prostate Cancer

    By m6A-sequencing of patient cancer tissues, scientists identified that the overall level of m6A in CRPC was up-regulated than castration sensitive prostate cancer.

    The DACH1 Gene Is Frequently Deleted in Prostate Cancer, Restrains Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia, Decreases DNA Damage Repair, and Predicts Therapy Responses

    In prostate OncoMice, prostate-specific deletion of the Dach1 gene enhanced prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, and was associated with increased transforming growth factor β activity and DNA damage.

    Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 Sustains a Hybrid Cytoplasmic–Mitochondrial Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle That Can Be Targeted for Therapeutic Purposes in Prostate Cancer

    Mouse models, in vitro human prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines, and human patient-derived organoids were used to study the expression and activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase enzymes in the normal prostate and PCa.

    Circular RNA circARHGEF28 Inhibited the Progression of Prostate Cancer via the miR-671-5p/LGALS3BP/NF-κB Axis

    Researchers found that circARHGEF28 was frequently downregulated in prostate cancer (PCa) tissues and cell lines. Gain- and loss-of function experiments in vitro showed that circARHGEF28 inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion of PCa.

    Investigations into the Signaling Pathways Involving Glucose-Stimulated Zinc Secretion (GSZS) from Prostate Epithelial Cells In Vitro and In Vivo

    Investigators explored several signaling pathways both in vitro using a prostate epithelial cell line and in vivo from the rat prostate model.

    Abstract

    The In Vitro Pro-Inflammatory Functions of the SP/NK1R System in Prostate Cancer: A Focus on Nuclear Factor-Kappa B (NF-κB) and Its Pro-Inflammatory Target Genes

    Scientists investigated the pro-inflammatory functions of the substance P (SP)/neurokinin receptor (NK‐1R) complex in prostate cancer and the therapeutic effects of its inhibition by NK‐1R antagonist, aprepitant, in vitro.

    Abstract

    Circular RNA Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 (circDPP4) Stimulates the Expression of Glutamate Dehydrogenase 1 to Contribute to the Malignant Phenotypes of Prostate Cancer by Sponging miR-497-5p

    The authors explored the underlying mechanism of circDPP4 in prostate cancer (PCa) progression. They assessed the roles of variables in PCa cell phenotypes by measuring cell growth, apoptosis, motility, and invasiveness.
    [Molecular Biotechnology]

    Abstract

    Overexpression of DDX49 in Prostate Cancer Is Associated with Poor Prognosis

    Investigators showed a high increase in DEAD-box helicase 49 (DDX49) in prostate cancer (PCa) tissues in comparison with normal tissues and that increased DDX49 indicated a poor prognosis among PCa patients.

    Basal Epithelial Cells in Prostate Development, Tumorigenesis, and Cancer Progression

    The authors discuss the critical role of basal cells in the development and maintenance of healthy prostate tissue. Furthermore, they provide evidence supporting the role of basal cells in oncogenesis and therapeutic resistance mechanisms of prostate cancer.
