Abstract c-MYC (MYC) is a major driver of prostate cancer tumorigenesis and progression. Although MYC overexpressed in both early metastatic disease associated with poor survival, its impact on transcriptional reprogramming remains elusive. We demonstrate that overexpression significantly diminishes the androgen receptor (AR) program (the set genes directly targeted by AR protein) luminal cells without altering expression. Analyses clinical specimens reveal concurrent low high programs...

The gut microbiota modulates response to hormonal treatments in prostate cancer (PCa) patients, but whether it influences PCa progression remains unknown. Here, we show a reduction fecal alpha-diversity correlating with increase tumour burden two distinct groups of hormonotherapy naïve patients and three murine models. Fecal transplantation (FMT) from high volume is sufficient stimulate the growth mouse revealing existence microbiome-cancer crosstalk. Analysis microbial-related pathways mice...

Abstract Cancer cells exhibit metabolic plasticity to meet oncogene-driven dependencies while coping with nutrient availability. A better understanding of how systemic metabolism impacts the accumulation metabolites that reprogram tumor microenvironment (TME) and drive cancer could facilitate development precision nutrition approaches. Using Hi-MYC prostate mouse model, we demonstrated an obesogenic high-fat diet (HFD) rich in saturated fats accelerates c-MYC–driven invasive through...
