Targeting Androgen Receptor Aberrations in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Androgen receptor (AR) splice variants (SV) have been implicated in the development of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and resistance to AR targeting therapies, including abiraterone and enzalutamide. Agents targeting AR-SV are urgently needed to test this hypothesis and further improve the outcome of patients suffering from this lethal disease.

Prospects of estrogen receptor β activation in the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer
Advanced prostate cancer can develop into castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). This process is mediated either by intratumoral ligand synthesis or by mutations or aberrations of the androgen receptor (AR) or its cofactors. To date, no curative therapy for CRPC is available, as AR-targeted therapies eventually result in the development of resistance. The human prostate cancer cell line V...
متن کاملA profile of enzalutamide for the treatment of advanced castration resistant prostate cancer
Recent advances in understanding the mechanisms underlying the development and progression of castration resistant prostate cancer from androgen-sensitive prostate cancer have provided new avenues exploring efficacious therapies in a disease which is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men in the western world. In the evolution of second generation anti-androgens, enzalutamide, a no...
متن کاملTargeting the androgen receptor in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer: A review.
Despite recent advances in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer (PCa), metastatic castrate-resistant PCa remains incurable at this time. The androgen receptor (AR) plays a key role in the development and progression of PCa, continuing to be active in most patients even after the development of castration resistance. Here, we aim to more closely review the mechanisms by which AR signaling i...
متن کاملTargeting the androgen receptor: improving outcomes for castration-resistant prostate cancer.
The categorization of prostate cancers that are progressing after castration as 'hormone-refractory' evolved from the clinical observation that surgical or medical castration (i.e. androgen ablation therapy; AAT) is not curative and, despite an initial response, virtually all tumors eventually regrow. Successful AAT is contingent on the dependence of prostate cancer cells for androgen signaling...
متن کاملSynergistic targeting of PI3K/AKT pathway and androgen receptor axis significantly delays castration-resistant prostate cancer progression in vivo.
The progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) correlates with gain-of-function of the androgen receptor (AR) and activation of AKT. However, as single agents, AR or AKT inhibitors result in a reciprocal feedback loop. Therefore, we hypothesized that combination of an AKT inhibitor with an antiandrogen might result in a more profound, long-lasting remission of CRPC. Here, we rep...
