Castration resistance in prostate cancer (PCa) constitutes an advanced, aggressive disease with poor prognosis, associated uncontrolled cell proliferation, to apoptosis, and enhanced invasive potential. The molecular mechanisms involved the transition of PCa castration are obscure. Here, we report that nonselective cationic channel transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) is a distinctive feature castration-resistant PCa. TRPV2 transcript levels were higher patients metastatic (stage...

Abstract The antitumor effects of pharmacologic inhibitors angiogenesis are hampered in patients by the rapid development tumor resistance, notably through increased invasiveness and accelerated metastasis. Here, we reevaluated role endogenous antiangiogenic thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) prostate carcinomas which is an active process. In xenografted tumors, observed that TSP1 altogether inhibited fostered development. Our results show a potent stimulator cell migration. This effect required CD36,...

Castration-resistant prostate cancers (CRPCs) that relapse after androgen deprivation therapies (ADTs) are responsible for the majority of mortalities from cancer (PCa). While mechanisms enabling recurrent activity receptor (AR) certainly involved in development CRPC, there may be factors contribute to process including acquired neuroendocrine (NE) cell-like behaviors working through alternate (non-AR) cell signaling systems or AR-dependent mechanisms. In this study, we explore potential...

Abstract Long noncoding (lnc)RNAs modulate gene expression alongside presenting unexpected source of neoantigens. Despite their immense interest, ability to be transferred and control adjacent cells is unknown. Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) offer a protective environment for nucleic acids, with pro antitumourigenic functions by controlling the immune response. In contrast extracellular nonvesicular RNA, few studies have addressed full RNA content within human fluids’ EVs compared them tissue...

Pea3 and Erm are transcription factors expressed in normal developing branching organs such as the mammary gland. Deregulation of their expression is generally associated with tumorigenesis particularly breast cancer. By using RNA interference (RNAi) to downregulate and/or a cancer cell line, we present evidence for role these proliferation, migration invasion capacity cells. We have used different small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting pea3 erm transcripts transiently or stably...

Abstract Small Extracellular Vesicles (sEVs) are 50–200 nm in diameter vesicles delimited by a lipid bilayer, formed within the endosomal network or derived from plasma membrane. They secreted various biological fluids, including airway nasal mucus. The goal of this work was to understand role sEVs present mucus (mu‐sEVs) produced human epithelial cells (HNECs) SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. We show that uninfected HNECs produce mu‐sEVs containing receptor ACE2 and activated protease TMPRSS2. cleave...

Markers of prostate tumor recurrence after radical prostatectomy are lacking and highly demanded. The androgen receptor (AR) is a nuclear that plays pivotal role in normal cancerous tissue. AR interacts with number proteins modulating its stability, localization, activity. To test the hypothesis an increased expression partners might foster development, we immunopurified human tumors xenografted into mice. One identified was multifunctional enzyme carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase II, aspartate...

The use of RNA-sequencing technologies held a promise improved diagnostic tools based on comprehensive transcript sets. However, mining human transcriptome data for disease biomarkers in clinical specimens are restricted by the limited power conventional reference-based protocols relying unique and annotated transcripts. Here, we implemented blind reference-free computational protocol, DE-kupl, to infer yet unreferenced RNA variations from total stranded datasets tissue origin. As bench...

Numerous pan-genomic studies identified alterations in protein-coding genes and signaling pathways involved bladder carcinogenesis, while non-coding somatic remain weakly explored. The goal of this study was to identify clinical biomarkers regions for cancer patients. We have previously tumors two mutational hotspots occurring at high frequencies (≥30%). These mutations are located close the GPR126 PLEKHS1 genes, guanine or cytosine a TGAACA core motif flanked, on both sides, by stretch...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequent and fifth leading cause of death in men worldwide. If local PCa presents a favorable prognosis, available treatments for advanced display limiting benefits due to therapeutic resistances. Nucleolin (NCL) ubiquitous protein involved numerous cell processes, such as ribosome biogenesis, cycles, or angiogenesis. NCL overexpressed several tumor types which it has been proposed diagnostic prognostic biomarker. In PCa, mainly studied target new...

Abstract Background Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is a multi-resistant variant of (PCa) that has become major challenge in clinics. Understanding the neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) process at molecular level therefore critical to define therapeutic strategies can prevent multi-drug resistance.

The Pea3 transcription factor (which belongs to the PEA3 group) from Ets family has been shown be involved in mammary embryogenesis and oncogenesis. However, except for proteinases, only few of its target genes have reported. In present report, we identified bax as a up-regulated gene. We provide evidence this regulation by using overexpression silencing cell line. Both Erm, another member group, are able transactivate promoter fragments. Although minimal Pea3-regulated does not contain an...

RNA-seq data are increasingly used to derive prognostic signatures for cancer outcome prediction. A limitation of current predictors is their reliance on reference gene annotations, which amounts ignoring large numbers non-canonical RNAs produced in disease tissues. recently introduced kind transcriptome classifier operates entirely a reference-free manner, relying k-mers extracted from patient data.In this paper, we set out compare conventional and risk relapse prediction prostate cancer....
