Inhibition of STAT3 Prevents Bone Metastatic Progression of Prostate Cancer In Vivo

Effects of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibitors, Stattic and Napabucasin, on metastatic potential in prostate cancer cells were studied in vitro by assessment of migration capacity, self‐renewal potential, and tumorsphere formation.

Pharmacological Effects of Guava (Psidium guajava L.) Seed Polysaccharides: GSF3 Inhibits PC-3 Prostate Cancer Cell Growth through Immunotherapy In Vitro

Guava seed polysaccharides (GSPS), GSF1, GSF2, and GSF3 were isolated using Sepharose 6B gel filtration chromatography to assay their inhibitory effects on prostate PC-3 cell growth with direct action or indirect immunotherapy.

Loss of Ephrin B2 Receptor (EPHB2) Sets Lipid Rheostat by Regulating Proteins DGAT1 and ATGL Inducing Lipid Droplet Storage in Prostate Cancer Cells

Knockdown strategies for EPHB2 were performed in prostate cancer cells to analyze the impact on the net lipid balance, proliferation, triacylglycerol-regulating proteins, effect on lipid droplet (LD) biogenesis, and intracellular localization of LDs.

SUMOylation Controls the Binding of Hexokinase 2 to Mitochondria and Protects against Prostate Cancer Tumorigenesis

Investigators report that SUMOylation regulated the binding of hexokinase 2 to mitochondria. They found that hexokinase 2 could be SUMOylated at K315 and K492.

Host Versus Cell-Dependent Effects of β-Arrestin-1 Expression in Prostate Tumorigenesis

The authors investigated the effect of β-arrestin 1 overexpression in prostate cancer development and progression using the mouse and human prostate cancer cell xenografts, and autochthonous transgenic adenocarcinoma mouse prostate models deficient in β-arrestins.

Hormone Dependent Prostate Cancers Are Dependent on Rac Signaling for Growth and Survival

The authors investigated the role of HACE1, the E3 ubiquitin ligase for Rac1, in prostate cancer and found that HACE1 was commonly lost resulting in hyperactive Rac signaling leading to enhanced cellular proliferation, motility and viability. They also showed that a Rac inhibitor could attenuate the growth and survival of prostate cancer cells.
