Tissue Microarray Profiling and Integrative Proteomics Indicate the Modulatory Potential of Maytenus royleanus in Inhibition of Overexpressed TPD52 in Prostate Cancers

Scientists explored the mechanism of action of Maytenus royleanus (MEM) in prostate cancer (PCa) by employing an in vitro global proteome approach to get useful information of various signaling pathways and effected genes to define the mechanism of MEM action in Pca.

The Heavy Chain of 4F2 Antigen Promote Prostate Cancer Progression via SKP-2

Treatment of C4-2 cells with the 4F2 cell-surface antigen heavy chain was found to suppress cellular growth, migratory and invasive abilities, with this effect occurring through the cell cycle, with a significant decrease in S phase and a significant increase in G0/G1 phase, suggesting cell cycle arrest.

FKBP51 and FKBP52 Regulate Androgen Receptor Dimerization and Proliferation in Prostate Cancer Cells

Researchers found that depletion of either FKBP51 or FKBP52 reduced androgen receptor(AR) dimer formation, chromatin binding and phosphorylation, suggesting defective AR signaling.

Sodium Bicarbonate Transporter NBCe1 Regulates Proliferation and Viability of Human Prostate Cancer Cells LNCaP and PC3

The role of the sodium bicarbonate transporters (NBCs) in prostate cancer cell proliferation and viability was examined. PCR revealed heterogeneous expression of five NBC isoforms in human prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP, PC3, 22RV1, C4-2, DU145, and the prostate cell line RWPE-1.

Abstract Graphical Abstract

(-)-Epicatechin Acts as a Potent Agonist of the Membrane Androgen Receptor, ZIP9 (SLC39A9), to Promote Apoptosis of Breast and Prostate Cancer Cells

The authors investigated the potential interactions of (-)-epicatechin and (+)-catechin with the membrane androgen receptor, ZIP9 (SLC39A9), which mediates androgen induction of apoptosis in human breast and prostate cancer cells.
