    Overexpression of RACGAP1 by E2F1 Promotes Neuroendocrine Differentiation of Prostate Cancer by Stabilizing EZH2 Expression

    Using neuroendocrine prostate cancer-related genome sequencing database analyses, scientists screened RacGTP enzyme activating protein 1 (RACGAP1), a common differentially expressed gene. They investigated RACGAP1 expression in clinical prostate cancer specimens by IHC.

    Pinostilbene Inhibits Full-Length and Splice Variant of Androgen Receptor in Prostate Cancer

    Investigators confirmed that pinostilbene directly bound to androgen receptor and inhibited its activation and translocalization. Their results suggested that pinostilbene has the potential to treat enzalutamide-resistant CRPC.

    Functional Consequences of A-to-I Editing of miR-379 in Prostate Cancer Cells

    Scientists suggested that editing of miR-379 attenuated the growth-suppressive function of unedited miR-379 in androgen-sensitive prostate cancer cells, thereby promoting tumor growth.

    Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5 Regulates Docetaxel Sensitivity in Taxane-Resistant Prostate Cancer Cells

    Employing taxane-resistant DU145-TXR cells and a combination of cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and cell cycle assays, scientists’ findings demonstrated that fatty acid binding protein 5 knockdown sensitized the cells to docetaxel.
