Phosphodiesterase Type-5 Inhibitor Tadalafil Modulates Steroid Hormones Signaling in a Prostate Cancer Cell Line

Researchers demonstrated for the first time that Tadalafil can significantly modulate androgen receptor expression and activity, Cyp19a1 and ERβ expression in prostate cancer cells, suggesting a specific effect of these proteins.

Long Noncoding RNA SNHG1 Promotes Human Prostate Cancer Progression by Sponging miR-383-5p

Investigators found the level of small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) was significantly upregulated in prostate cancer tissues and cells. Knockdown of SNHG1 significantly suppressed proliferation, migration and invasion and promoted cell apoptosis in prostate cancer cells.

Discovery of JNJ-63576253: A Clinical Stage Androgen Receptor Antagonist for F877L Mutant and Wild-Type Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)

Persistent androgen receptor (AR) activation drives therapeutic resistance to second-generation AR pathway inhibitors and contributes to the progression of advanced prostate cancer. One resistance mechanism is point mutations in the ligand binding domain of AR that can transform antagonists into agonists

Adult Tissue-Resident Stem Cells—Fact or Fiction?

It has proved difficult to isolate quiescent stem cells as a physical entity. Recent single-cell RNAseq studies on several adult tissues including ovary, prostate, and cardiac tissues have not been able to detect stem cells. Thus, it has been postulated that adult cells dedifferentiate to stem-like state to ensure regeneration and can be defined as cells capable to replace lost cells through mitosis.
