| 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. [Science Signaling] |

|
| 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. [The Prostate] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| 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. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| 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. [The Prostate] |

|
|
|
| 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. [Nature Reviews Urology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators explore PARP nuclear functions, inhibition, and clinical relevance through the lens of racial differences. [Cancer Research] |

|
| The Research Institute of McGill University Health Centre has enrolled the first patients to take part in an early-stage, multi-centre clinical trial of Actinium-225, a radioactive isotope used as a treatment for metastatic prostate cancer. [McGill University Health Centre] |

|
|
| Dr Kevin Koo, from The University of Queensland’s (UQ) Centre for Clinical Research, has been awarded one of five new research grants worth a combined value of $1.2 million from the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. [The University of Queensland] |
