The ERG-regulated LINC00920 Promotes Prostate Cancer Cell Survival via the 14-3-3ε- FOXO Pathway

Scientists demonstrated that LINC00920 transcription was directly activated by ERG, an oncogenic transcription factor overexpressed in 50% of prostate cancers.

Anticancer Potential and Capsianosides Identification in Lipophilic Fraction of Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)

The anticancer potential of the fractions was evaluated in vitro using different cancer cell lines: human colorectal carcinoma and PC-3. Fibroblast-like cells of L929 obtained from subcutaneous adipose tissue of mouse were used as normal cells.

miR-196a-mediated Downregulation of p27kip1 Protein Promotes Prostate Cancer Proliferation and Relates to Biochemical Recurrence after Radical Prostatectomy

In vivo and in vitro experiments exhibited that miR‐196a promoted prostate cancer proliferation and expedited G1/S‐phase progression through the downregulation of p27kip1 protein.

Thioredoxin Interacting Protein (TXNIP) Acts as a Tumor Suppressor in Human Prostate Cancer

Researchers reported that the expression of thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP) was significantly decreased in prostate cancer and associated with clinicopathological features. Overexpression of TXNIP could significantly inhibit PC‐3 cells proliferation, migration, invasion and glucose uptake.

Targeting CPT1B as a Potential Therapeutic Strategy in Castration-Resistant and Enzalutamide-Resistant Prostate Cancer

The CCK-8 experiment demonstrated that CPT1B overexpression in C4-2 cells did not significantly increase the ability of enzalutamide resistance. However, overexpression of CPT1B in C4-2R cells significantly increased the enzalutamide resistance.
