    Blocking Lipid Synthesis Induces DNA Damage in Prostate Cancer and Increases Cell Death Caused by PARP Inhibition

    Researchers found that combining a fatty acid synthase (FASN)i with the poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor olaparib, which induced cell death by blocking DNA damage repair, resulted in a more pronounced reduction in cell growth than that caused by either drug alone.

    An Orthotopic Prostate Cancer Model for New Treatment Development Using Syngeneic or Patient-Derived Tumors

    Scientists described a novel micro-surgical technique for orthotopically implanting intact tumors pieces from cell line derived or patient derived tumors in the mouse prostate gland and monitored tumor growth using magnetic resonance imaging.

    Tumor Promoting Effect of Spheroids in an Orthotopic Prostate Cancer Mouse Model

    Investigators established a technique for intraprostatic implantation of prostate cancer (PCa) spheroids and to identify the impact of three-dimensional organization of PCa cells on tumor progression and metastasis in a representative in vivo model.

    ELK3 Destabilization by Speckle-Type Poz Protein Suppresses Prostate Cancer Progression and Docetaxel Resistance

    Researchers found that speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP)n and ELK3 were an interacting partner. The interaction between SPOP and ELK3 resulted in increased ELK3 ubiquitination and destruction, assisted by checkpoint kinase-mediated ELK3 phosphorylation.

    Phospholipase PLA2G7 Is Complementary to GPX4 in Mitigating Punicic Acid Induced Ferroptosis in Prostate Cancer Cells

    The authors investigated the mechanisms underlying the toxicity of punicic acid, an isomer of conjugated linolenic acids bearing three conjugated double bonds highly prone to peroxidation, on prostate cancer cells.

    FOXA1 Regulates Ribosomal RNA Transcription in Prostate Cancer

    Nucleolar proteomics data and large-scale immunofluorescence were re-analyzed to jointly identify the proteins localized at nucleolus. RNA-Seq data of five prostate cancer (PCa) cohorts were combined and integrated with multi-dimensional data to define the upregulated nucleolar transcription factors in PCa tissues.

    Unlocking Ferroptosis in Prostate Cancer — the Road to Novel Therapies and Imaging Markers

    The authors describe novel molecular underpinnings and metabolic drivers of ferroptosis, analyze the functions and mechanisms of ferroptosis in tumors, and highlight prostate cancer-specific susceptibilities to ferroptosis.
