Antiproliferative, apoptosis-inducing, and < em > GSTP1 < /em > demethylation activities of Ellagitannins isolated from < em > Cornus alba < /em > L
This study aimed to prove the prostate cancer chemopreventive activity of compounds isolated from CA. We evaluated these compounds using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and evaluated their NF-κB inhibitory activity and apoptosis-inducing activity using western blot analysis and flow cytometry, respectively. Their DNA methylation activity was also evaluated via a methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction in androgen-dependent (LNCaP) and androgen-independent (PC-3) prostate cancer cell lines. Camptothin B (1), cornusiin B (2), and cornusiin A (3), which were isolated in our...

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 5612: Targeting Metabolic Vulnerabilities to Overcome Prostate Cancer Resistance: Dual Therapy with Apalutamide and Complex I Inhibition
This study delves into the specific metabolic dependencies of different PCa subtypes and explores the potential synergistic effects of combining androgen receptor (AR) inhibition (ARN with mitochondrial complex I inhibition (IACS)). We examined the metabolic behaviors of normal prostate epithelial cells (PNT1A), androgen-sensitive cells (LNCaP and C4-2), and androgen-independent cells (PC-3) when treated with ARN, IACS, or a combination. The results uncovered distinct mitochondrial activities across PCa subtypes, with androgen-dependent cells exhibiting heightened oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). The combination of ARN ...

GSE245489 Poly I:C-priming of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells promotes a pro-tumorigenic phenotype in an immunocompetent mouse model of prostate cancer
Contributors : Cosette M Rivera-Cruz ; Shreya Kumar ; Marxa L FigueiredoSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusWhile BM-MSC remain the most commonly studied MSC subtype and were the focus of original MSC polarization paradigm reports, MSC derived from other tissues may provide advantages for clinical use such as higher relative abundance and differential functional potential. In our previous work, we had identified phenotypical and functional consequences of TLR3 or TLR4 priming on ASC that partially resembled those previously reported for BM-MSC. In our assessment, LPS-prim...

Cell Plasticity in a Mouse Model of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia Drives Amplification of Androgen-Independent Epithelial Cell Populations Sensitive to Antioxidant Therapy
Am J Pathol. 2023 Oct 10:S0002-9440(23)00366-8. doi: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2023.09.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBenign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is caused by the non-malignant enlargement of the transition zone of the prostate gland, leading to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). While current medical treatments are unsatisfactory in many patients, the limited understanding of the mechanisms driving disease progression prevents the development of alternative therapeutic strategies. The probasin-prolactin (Pb-PRL) transgenic mouse recapitulates many histopathological features of human BPH. We here show that these alterat...

In Silico Bioinformatics Analysis on the Role of Long Non-Coding RNAs as Drivers and Gatekeepers of Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer Using LNCaP and PC-3 Cells
This study aimed to profile the aberrantly expressed lncRNAs in androgen-dependent (LNCaP) PCa compared to androgen-independent (PC-3) PCa cells. This was achieved by using a 384-well plate of PCa lncRNA gene panel. Differential expression of ±2 up or downregulation was determined using the CFX Maestro software v2.1. LncSEA and DIANA-miRPath were used to identify the enriched pathways. Telomerase RNA component (TERC) lncRNA was illustrated to participate in various tumourigenic classes by in silico bioinformatics analysis and was thus selected for validation using RT-qPCR. Further bioinformatics analysis revealed the invo...
