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...

F77 antigen is a promising target for adoptive T cell therapy of prostate cancer
This study entails the generation and evaluation of a second-generation CAR against a carbohydrate antigen on malignant prostate cancer cells. Using a single chain fragment variable (scFv) from an F77-specific mouse monoclonal antibody, we created second-generation CARs with CD28 and CD137 (4-1BB) costimulatory signals. F77 expressing lentiviral CAR T cells produce cytokines and kill tumor cells in a F77 expression-dependent manner. These F77-specific CAR T cells eradicate prostate tumors in a human xenograft model employing PC3 cells. These findings validate F77 as a promising immunotherapeutic target for prostate cancer ...

This study also shows that PAK1 is a potential target for CRPC treatment. Implications: This study uses a newly generated PTEN null prostate cancer cell line to define a critical functional role of p110β-PAK1 in CRPC migration/invasion.

Veratramine Inhibits the Cell Cycle Progression, Migration, and Invasion via ATM/ATR Pathway in Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer
In this study, we discovered that veratramine exerted antitumor effects on AIPC cells. We demonstrated that veratramine significantly inhibited the proliferation of cancer cells via G0/G1 phase arrest induced by the ATM/ATR and Akt pathways. These results suggest that veratramine is a promising natural therapeutic agent for AIPC.PMID:37385965 | DOI:10.1142/S0192415X2350060X (Source: The American Journal of Chinese Medicine)

GSE235514 ESR1+ luminal epithelial cells contribute to androgen-independent prostate survival in the absence of SRD5A2
Contributors : Christina Sharkey ; Xingbo Long ; Ra'ad Al-Faouri ; Douglas Strand ; Aria F Olumi ; Wang ZongweiSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusSteroid 5 α reductase 2 (SRD5A2) is crucial for prostatic development, converting testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). While 5α reductase inhibitors (5ARI) effectively reduce prostate size in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), their limited efficacy against BPH-related lower urinary tract symptoms (LU TS) and mechanisms of 5ARI resistance remain unclear. Here, we developed a Srd5a2-/- mouse model and employed single...

Rbf/E2F1 control growth and endoreplication via steroid-independent Ecdysone Receptor signalling in < i > Drosophila < /i > prostate-like secondary cells
by Aashika Sekar, Aaron Leiblich, S. Mark Wainwright, Cl áudia C. Mendes, Dhruv Sarma, Josephine E. E. U. Hellberg, Carina Gandy, Deborah C. I. Goberdhan, Freddie C. Hamdy, Clive Wilson In prostate cancer, loss of the tumour suppressor gene,Retinoblastoma (Rb), and consequent activation of transcription factor E2F1 typically occurs at a late-stage of tumour progression. It appears to regulate a switch to an androgen-independent form of cancer, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), which frequently still requires androgen receptor (AR) signalling. We have previously shown that upon mating, binucleate secondary cell...

Augmentation of Docetaxel-Induced Cytotoxicity in Human PC-3 Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer Cells by Combination With Four Natural Apoptosis-Inducing Anticancer Compounds
In conclusion, the combination of DTX with the four test compounds could effectively enhance the anti-prostate cancer activity of DTX. This combination has the added value of reducing the DTX effective concentration. We surmise that calebin A, 3'-hydroxypterostilbene, hispolon, and tetrahydrocurcumin were all excellent drug candidates that produced significant antiproliferative activity when used alone and synergistically enhanced the anticancer effect of DTX. Further in vivo studies using animal models of prostate cancer are needed to confirm our in vitro findings.PMID:37292146 | PMC:PMC10249917 | DOI:10.1177/1934578x2311...
