Effect of Comorbidity on Prostate Cancer-Specific Mortality: A Prospective Observational Study.
(2017-11-01)
Purpose To determine the effect of comorbidity on prostate cancer (PCa)-specific mortality across treatment types. Patients and Methods These are the results of a population-based observational study in Sweden from 1998 ...
PEOPLE: PatiEnt prOstate samPLes for rEsearch, a tissue collection pathway utilizing magnetic resonance imaging data to target tumor and benign tissue in fresh radical prostatectomy specimens.
(2019-05)
BACKGROUND: Over 1 million men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year worldwide, with a wide range of research programs requiring access to patient tissue samples for development of improved diagnoses and treatments. ...
Androgen-regulation of the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPRR activates ERK1/2 signalling in prostate cancer cells.
(BioMed Central, 2015-01-16)
BACKGROUND: Androgens drive the onset and progression of prostate cancer (PCa) via androgen receptor (AR) signalling. The principal treatment for PCa is androgen deprivation therapy, although the majority of patients ...
The RNA-binding protein hnRNPA2 regulates β-catenin protein expression and is overexpressed in prostate cancer.
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
INTRODUCTION: The RNA-binding protein hnRNPA2 (HNRNPA2B1) is upregulated in cancer, where it controls alternative pre-mRNA splicing of cancer-relevant genes. Cytoplasmic hnRNPA2 is reported in aggressive cancers, but is ...
Identification of a candidate prognostic gene signature by transcriptome analysis of matched pre- and post-treatment prostatic biopsies from patients with advanced prostate cancer.
(BioMed Central, 2014-12-18)
BACKGROUND: Although chemotherapy for prostate cancer (PCa) can improve patient survival, some tumours are chemo-resistant. Tumour molecular profiles may help identify the mechanisms of drug action and identify potential ...
A novel androgen-regulated isoform of the TSC2 tumour suppressor gene increases cell proliferation.
(Impact Journals, 2013-10-13)
TSC2 (Tuberous sclerosis complex 2) is an important tumour suppressor gene, mutations within which are linked to the development of tuberous sclerosis and implicated in multiple tumour types. TSC2 protein complexes with ...
The RNA-binding protein Sam68 regulates expression and transcription function of the androgen receptor splice variant AR-V7.
(2015-08-27)
Castration-resistant (CR) prostate cancer (PCa) partly arises due to persistence of androgen receptor (AR) transcriptional activity in the absence of cognate ligand. An emerging mechanism underlying the CRPCa phenotype and ...
