    PRL-Mediated STAT5B/ARRB2 Pathway Promotes the Progression of Prostate Cancer through the Activation of MAPK Signaling

    Investigators found heterogeneous expression of the prolactin receptor (PRLR) in clinical prostate samples. The VCaP and 22Rv1 cells exhibited PRLR expression. Among the downstream proteins, STAT5B was the dominant subtype in clinical samples and cell lines.

    Chemical Profiling, Bio-Guided Purification, and Cytotoxic Effect of Two African Spices: Hypodaphnis zenkeri Engl. Stapf (Lauraceae) and Staudtia kamerunensis Warb (Myristicaceae) on Human Prostate Cancer Cell Lines

    Researchers attempted to develop sufficient phytochemical information on two understudied species, Staudtia kamerunensis Warb. (Myristicaceae) and Hypodaphnis zenkeri Engl. Stapf. (Lauraceae), and studied their cytotoxicity against prostate cancer cells in its early form and when they have developed metastasis.

    α-Lipoic Acid Modulates Prostate Cancer Cell Growth and Bone Cell Differentiation

    Investigators explored the molecular mechanism behind the role of α-LA as therapeutics in preventing prostate cancer (PCa) and its associated bone modulation. Notably, α-LA treatment significantly reduced the cell viability, migration, and invasion of PCa cell lines in a dose-dependent manner.
