lncRNA SNHG11 Facilitates Prostate Cancer Progression through the Upregulation of IGF-1R Expression and by Sponging miR-184

Researchers investigated the functional role and molecular mechanisms of SNHG11 in prostate cancer (PCa) progression. It was revealed that the SNHG11 expression levels were significantly upregulated in PCa tissues, in comparison with those in adjacent normal tissues.

Cardiff Researcher Awarded £230K to Transform Prostate Cancer Treatment

Researchers from Cardiff University have received a grant worth over £230,000 from leading men’s health charity Prostate Cancer UK. The funding will help them develop a deeper understanding of how prostate cancer affects the immune system, so it’s clearer which men could benefit from powerful new immunotherapy treatments.

Androgen Receptor Antagonists Produced by Streptomyces Overcome Resistance to Enzalutamide

From the natural product screening, the novel compound arabilin was isolated from Streptomyces sp. MK756-CF1. Unlike STK765173, arabilin could overcome resistance to enzalutamide.

CRISPR Screening Identifies CDK12 as a Conservative Vulnerability of Prostate Cancer

The authors performed a kinome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 screen and identified cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) as being conservatively required for PCa cell survival.

Biodistribution and Internal Radiation Dosimetry of a Companion Diagnostic Radiopharmaceutical, [68Ga]PSMA-11, in Subcutaneous Prostate Cancer Xenograft Model Mice

Researchers characterized the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of [68Ga]PSMA-11 in prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive and negative tumor-bearing mice and subsequently estimated its internal radiation dosimetry via voxel-level dosimetry using a dedicated Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the absorbed dose in the tumor directly.

PHLDA3 Exerts an Antitumor Function in Prostate Cancer by Down-Regulating Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway via Inhibition of Akt

The relevance of pleckstrin homology-like domain family A, member 3 (PHLDA3) in prostate cancer has not been explored. Scientists illustrated the possible roles and mechanisms of PHLDA3 in prostate cancer.

Human Prostate Epithelial Cells and Prostate-Derived Stem Cells Malignantly Transformed In Vitro with Sodium Arsenite Show Impaired Toll Like Receptor -3 (TLR3)-Associated Anti-Tumor Pathway

Since inorganic arsenic targets prostatic stem cells, researchers hypothesized that arsenic-transformed stem cells show an impaired TLR3-associated anti-tumor pathway and, therefore, are unresponsive to polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid activation.

DNA-PKc Inhibition Overcomes Taxane Resistance by Promoting Taxane-Induced DNA Damage in Prostate Cancer Cells

Scientists proposed that alterations in DNA damage response pathway contributed to taxane resistance, and identification of these alterations may provide a potential therapeutic target to resensitize docetaxel-refractory mCRPC to taxane-based therapy.
