    Multi-Level Functional Genomics Reveals Molecular and Cellular Oncogenicity of Patient-Based 3′ Untranslated Region Mutations

    To determine the significance of 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) mutations in disease, investigators identified 3′ UTR somatic variants across 185 advanced prostate tumors, discovering 14,497 single-nucleotide mutations enriched in oncogenic pathways and 3′ UTR regulatory elements.

    Nicardipine Is a Putative EED Inhibitor and Has High Selectivity and Potency against Chemoresistant Prostate Cancer in Preclinical Models

    A phenotypic screen was performed to identify novel inhibitors of chemoresistant prostate cancer (PCa) cells. The mechanism of action of potential candidate(s) was investigated using in silico docking, and molecular and cellular assays in chemoresistant PCa cells.

    Abstract

    Transcriptomic Heterogeneity of Expansile Cribriform and Other Gleason Pattern 4 Prostate Cancer Subtypes

    Investigators performed a retrospective cohort study including 165 men with grade group 2-4 prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) at a single academic institution and Decipher testing of the RP specimen.

    Abstract

    Lysosome-Dependent FOXA1 Ubiquitination Contributes to Luminal Lineage of Advanced Prostate Cancer

    Researchers showed that S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 catalyzed K6- and K29-linked polyubiquitination of forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1) for lysosomal-dependent degradation.

    Abstract

    A Multivalent Peptoid Conjugate Modulates Androgen Receptor Transcriptional Activity to Inhibit Therapy-Resistant Prostate Cancer

    Scientists investigated the antitumor effects of compound MPC309, a trivalent display of ethisterone conjugated to a peptoid oligomer backbone that binds to the androgen receptor with nanomolar affinity. MPC309 exhibited potent antiproliferative effects on various enzalutamide-resistant prostate cancer models.

    Abstract

    USF1-Mediated ALKBH5 Stabilizes FLII mRNA in an m6A-YTHDF2-Dependent Manner to Repress Glycolytic Activity in Prostate Adenocarcinoma

    Investigators focused on the function of upstream-stimulating factor 1 (USF1) in glycolysis and the malignant development of prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD). Bioinformatics predictions suggested that USF1 was poorly expressed in PRAD.

    Prostate Cancer Cells Synergistically Defend Against CD8+ T Cells by Secreting Exosomal PD-L1

    Western blotting and immunofluorescence were performed to compare programmed necrosis ligand 1 (PD-L1) levels in exosomes derived from different prostate cancer cells.

    Abstract

    3,5, 7-Trihydroxyflavone Restricts Proliferation of Androgen-Independent Human Prostate Adenocarcinoma Cells by Inducing ROS-Mediated Apoptosis and Reduces Tumor Growth

    Researchers reported the antiproliferative potential of 3,5,7-trihydroxyflavone in prostate cancer cell line via reactive oxygen species-mediated cascades and examined the tumor reduction potential in swiss albino mice.

    Abstract

    Development of a Multiplex Assay to Assess Activated p300/CBP in Circulating Prostate Tumor Cells

    The authors examined whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) identified patients with altered p300/CBP acetylation. CTCs were isolated from 13 advanced prostate cancer patients using Exclusion-based Sample Preparation technology.
