Current mouse and cell models in prostate cancer research.
Mouse models of prostate cancer (PCa) are critical for understanding the biology of PCa initiation, progression, and treatment modalities. Here, we summarize recent advances in PCa mouse models that led to new insights into specific gene functions in PCa. For example, the study of transgenic mice with TMPRSS2/ERG, an androgen-regulated fusion protein, revealed its role in developing PCa precurs...
متن کاملModels of neuroendocrine prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer death in men in the USA and most western countries. Prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma is the most commonly diagnosed form of prostate cancer. Small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is less frequently identified at the time of initial diagnosis, but this highly aggressive form of prostate cancer is increasingly observed in patients who have f...
متن کاملMouse Models of Prostate Cancer
The development and optimization of high-throughput screening methods has identified a multitude of genetic changes associated with human disease. The use of immunodeficient and genetically engineered mouse models that mimic the human disease has been crucial in validating the importance of these genetic pathways in prostate cancer. These models provide a platform for finding novel therapies to...
متن کاملObesity and prostate cancer research
The authors of the manuscript entitled " Obesity, diabetes and aggressive prostate cancer hormone– naïve at initial diagnosis [1] published in this issue performed a retrospective analysis of 266 patients who underwent prostate biopsies for suspected pros-tate cancer (PCa). Their results suggest that obesity and diabetes mellitus type II (DMII) are associated with more aggressive PCa (defined a...
متن کاملProstate cancer research in China.
Prostate cancer (PCa) research in China has been on a rocketing trend in recent years. The first genome-wide association study (GWAS) in China identified two new PCa risk associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Next generation sequencing is beginning to be used, yielding novel findings: gene fusions, long non-coding RNAs and other variations. Mechanisms of PCa progression have been i...
