Sox2 Is Necessary for Androgen Ablation-Induced Neuroendocrine Differentiation from Pten Null Sca-1+/sup> Prostate Luminal Cells

Researchers provide direct genetic evidence that Sox2 is necessary for androgen ablation-induced neuroendocrine differentiation of Pten null prostate adenocarcinoma. They corroborate that the lineage status of the prostate cancer cells is a determinant for its propensity to exhibit lineage plasticity, and support that the intrinsic features of cell-of-origin for prostate cancers can dictate their clinical behaviors.

Modulating Androgen Receptor-Driven Transcription in Prostate Cancer with Selective CDK9 Inhibitors

To discover modulators of androgen receptor (AR)-variant activity, investigtors used a lysate-based small-molecule microarray assay and identified KI-ARv-03 as an AR-variant complex binder that reduced AR-driven transcription and proliferation in prostate cancer cells.

Loss of RBMS1 as a Regulatory Target of miR-106b Influences Cell Growth, Gap Closing and Colony Forming in Prostate Carcinoma

Scientists demonstrated for the first time a miR-106b dependent downregulation of RBMS1 in prostate carcinoma. Additionally, they showed new tumour suppressive properties of RBMS1 whose observed loss may further elucidate the development of prostate carcinoma.

Rosuvastatin Inhibit Spheroid Formation and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in Prostate Cancer PC-3 Cell Line

PC-3 cells were cultured in adherence and/or spheroid culture system. The cells were treated with different concentrations of Rosuvastatin. After 96 hours, the cell proliferation, viability, type and number of spheroids, the expression of E-Cadherin, Vimentin and Zeb-1 were analyzed.

The Alpha-1,2 Fucosylated Tubule System of DU145 Prostate Cancer Cells Is Derived from a Partially Fragmented Golgi Complex and Its Formation Is Actin-Dependent

The authors present evidence that in the prostate cancer cell line DU145, the tubules arise in actively growing cells from vesicles in the medial and trans elements of a partially fragmented Golgi complex, while in not actively growing cells the tubules become completely independent from the Golgi complex.

In Vivo Imaging of Long-Term Accumulation of Cancer-Derived Exosomes using a BRET-Based Reporter

Transplantation of CD63-Antares2-expressing prostate cancer cells into mice allowed determining the amount of cancer-derived exosomes released from primary tumors into the bloodstream and visualizing the long-term homing behavior of exosomes to their target organs or tissues.
