Antiandrogen strategies remain the prostate cancer treatment backbone, but drug resistance develops. We show that androgen blockade in leads to derepression of retroelements (REs) followed by a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-stimulated interferon response blocks tumor growth. A forward genetic approach identified H3K9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) as an essential epigenetic adaptation antiandrogens, which enabled transcriptional silencing REs otherwise stimulate signaling and glucocorticoid receptor...
Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) is a major cause of mortality in the United States. Androgen receptor (AR) key transcriptional regulator for development and progression prostate cancer. deprivation therapy (ADT) with medical castration treatment second-generation anti-androgens such as enzalutamide abiraterone acetate are important treatments advanced Previous studies have shown resistance to develops through various alternative molecular mechanisms including AR gene amplification, mutations...
