    SETD4 Inhibits Prostate Cancer Development by Promoting H3K27me3-Mediated NUPR1 Transcriptional Repression and Cell Cycle Arrest

    The expression of SETD4 in prostate cancer (PCa) cells and tissue samples was downregulated in PCa cells and tissue specimens, and decreased SETD4 expression led to inferior clinicopathological characteristics in patients with PCa.

    PTEN-Regulated PI3K-p110 and AKT Isoform Plasticity Controls Metastatic Prostate Cancer Progression

    Using prostate cancer (PCa) cells isogenic for PTEN, researchers showed that PTEN-deficiency correlated with dependence on both p110β and AKT2 for in vitro and in vivo parameters of metastatic growth or motility, and with downregulation of SMAD4, a known PCa metastasis suppressor.

    Abstract

    Nucleophosmin 1 Cooperates with BRD4 to Facilitate C-Myc Transcription to Promote Prostate Cancer Progression

    Researchers showed that NPM1 was overexpressed in PCa cell lines and tissues and that the dysregulation of NPM1 promoted prostate cancer proliferation.
