Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing Reveals Heterogenous Genomic Features in Viscerally-Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Through genomic profiling of prostate cancer (PCa) across various metastatic sites, scientists identified an extremely low frequency of androgen receptor alterations in pulmonary metastasis without liver involvement PCa, high prevalence of DNA damage response pathway deficiency in hepatic metastasis PCa and high PTEN alteration rates in viscerally-metastatic PCa.

PRDX1 Activates Autophagy via the PTEN-AKT Signaling Pathway to Protect against Cisplatin-Induced Spiral Ganglion Neuron Damage

Macroautophagy/autophagy plays a critical role in spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) development, but the effect of autophagy on cisplatin-induced SGN injury is unclear. Scientists found that autophagic flux was activated in SGNs after cisplatin damage.

CREG1 Improves the Capacity of the Skeletal Muscle Response to Exercise Endurance via Modulation of Mitophagy

Scientists suggested that CREG1 deficiency accelerated the induction of mitophagy in the skeletal muscle. Mechanistically, gain-and loss-of-function mutations of Creg1 altered mitochondrial morphology and function, impairing mitophagy in C2C12 cells.

Inhibition of miR‐188‐5p Alleviates Hepatic Fibrosis by Significantly Reducing the Activation and Proliferation of HSCs through PTEN/PI3K/AKT Pathway

Mimicking the miR‐188‐5p resulted in the up‐regulation of hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and proliferation by directly targeting the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN). Inhibition of miR‐188‐5p reduced the activation and proliferation markers of HSCs through PTEN/AKT pathway.

In Vivo CRISPR Inactivation of Fos Promotes Prostate Cancer Progression by Altering the Associated AP-1 Subunit Jun

Whereas both JUN and FOS have been implicated in prostate cancer, the authors provided evidence that FOS acts as a tumor suppressor during prostate cancer progression and invasion.

Mechanisms of Stearoyl CoA Desaturase Inhibitor Sensitivity and Acquired Resistance in Cancer

Researchers report the unexpected finding that median expression of stearoyl CoA desaturase is low in glioblastoma relative to normal brain due to hypermethylation and unintentional monoallelic co-deletion with phosphatase and tensin homolog in a subset of patients.
