    Histone H2A Lys130 Acetylation Epigenetically Regulates Androgen Production in Prostate Cancer

    The authors uncovered dual-phosphorylated form of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBF1), pY673/951-SREBF1 that acts as an androgen sensor, and dissociates from androgen receptor in androgen deficient environment, followed by nuclear translocation.

    Abstract

    Apoptotic and Anti-Warburg Effect of Morusin via ROS Mediated Inhibition of FOXM1/C-myc Signaling in Prostate Cancer Cells

    To elucidate antitumor mechanism of Morusin, cytotoxicity assay, cell cycle analysis, Western blotting, TUNEL assay, RNA interference, immunofluorescense, immunoprecipitation, reactive oxygen species measurement, and inhibitor study were applied.

    Abstract

    Autocrine Proteinase-Activated Receptor (PAR) Signaling in PC3 Prostate Cancer Cells

    Investigators examined the androgen independent human prostatic cancer cell line PC3 and found functional expression of proteinase-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) and PAR2, but not PAR4.

    Abstract

    A Combined In Vitro and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Studies Unveil the Molecular Basis of the Anticancer Potential of Piperine Targeting AKT1 against Prostate Cancer

    Researchers investigated the activity of the natural compound piperine on prostate cancer cell line, followed by exploring its mechanistic inhibition on the RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1) protein.

    Abstract

    Investigation of Enzalutamide, Docetaxel, and Cabazitaxel Resistance in the Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer Cell Line C4 Using Genome-Wide CRISPR/Cas9 Screening

    To identify genes that modulated treatment response to these drugs, the authors performed three genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screens in the metastatic CRPC cell line C4.
