    TRAF4-Mediated Nonproteolytic Ubiquitination of Androgen Receptor Promotes Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    Scientists demonstrated that atypical ubiquitination of androgen receptor mediated by an E3 ubiquitin ligase TRAF4 played an important role in castration-resistant prostate cancer development.

    Abstract

    Canonical and Truncated Transglutaminase-2 Regulate Mucin-1 Expression and Androgen Independency in Prostate Cancer Cell Lines

    The authors reported that silencing of transglutaminase-2 expression by CRISPR-Cas9 was associated with upregulation of androgen receptor transcription in prostate cancer cell lines.

    Modulation of the Canonical Wnt Activity by Androgen Signaling in Prostate Epithelial Basal Stem Cells

    Researchers showed that although Wnt was essential for prostate epithelial basal stem cell multipotency, ectopic Wnt activity promoted basal cell over-proliferation and squamous phenotypes, which were counteracted by elevated levels of androgen.

    B7-H3 Specific CAR-T Cells Exhibit Potent Activity against Prostate Cancer

    Investigators examined the expression of B7-H3 in prostate cancer tissues and cells and developed a second-generation chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that specifically targeted B7-H3 and CD28 as costimulatory receptor to explore its tumoricidal potential against prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo.
