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.

Regulation of Carcinogenesis and Mediation through Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling by 3,3′-Diindolylmethane in an Enzalutamide-Resistant Prostate Cancer Cell Line

To investigate whether combined treatment with Enzalutamide (ENZ) and 3,3′-diindolylmethane (DIM) could overcome ENZ resistance by regulating Wnt signaling to inhibit androgen receptor signaling and EMT in ENZ-resistant prostate cancer cells, 22Rv1 cells were cultured in normal medium and treated with ENZ, DIM, and DIM with ENZ.

Melatonin Interrupts Osteoclast Functioning and Suppresses Tumor-Secreted RANKL Expression: Implications for Bone Metastases

Investigators observed that melatonin inhibited RANKL production in lung and prostate cancer cells by downregulating the p38 MAPK pathway, which in turn prevented cancer-associated osteoclast differentiation.

CD117/C-Kit Defines a Prostate CSC-Like Subpopulation Driving Progression and TKI Resistance

To determine how CD117 expression and activation by its ligand stem cell factor alters prostate cancer aggressiveness, researchers used C4-2 and PC3-mm human prostate cancer cells, which contained a CD117+ subpopulation.

Post-Transcriptional Gene Regulation by MicroRNA-194 Promotes Neuroendocrine Transdifferentiation in Prostate Cancer

Scientists showed that microRNA-194 (miR-194) is a regulator of epithelial-neuroendocrine (NE) transdifferentiation. In clinical prostate cancer (PC) samples, miR-194 expression and activity were elevated in NEPC and inversely correlated with androgen receptor signaling.

Targeting Therapy-Resistant Prostate Cancer via a Direct Inhibitor of the Human Heat Shock Transcription Factor 1

Direct targeted HSF1 inhibitor robustly inhibited the heat shock factor 1 cancer gene signature and prostate cancer cell proliferation. It potently attenuated tumor progression in four therapy-resistant prostate cancer animal models, including an neuroendocrine prostate cancer model, where it caused profound tumor regression.
