Tumor-secreted exosomal miR-141 activates tumor-stroma interactions and controls premetastatic niche formation in ovarian cancer metastasis

Yulan Mo et al.

Summary: This study reveals that miR-141 acts as an OvCa-derived exosomal microRNA, mediating the interactions between tumor and stroma, as well as promoting the formation of tumor microenvironment through activating the YAP1/GRO alpha/CXCRs signaling cascade. It provides new insights for the treatment of OvCa patients with peritoneal metastases.

Summary: Each year, the American Cancer Society compiles data on cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States. The latest data shows that breast and prostate cancer progress has stagnated, while lung cancer has shown improvements in survival rates. Lung cancer incidence for advanced disease has declined while localized-stage rates have increased, resulting in higher survival rates. Mortality patterns align with incidence trends, with lung cancer deaths declining rapidly, breast cancer deaths slowing, and prostate cancer deaths stabilizing.

Abiraterone acetate and prednisolone with or without enzalutamide for high-risk non-metastatic prostate cancer: a meta-analysis of primary results from two randomised controlled phase 3 trials of the STAMPEDE platform protocol

Gerhardt Attard et al.

Summary: The combination therapy of abiraterone acetate with prednisolone showed significantly higher rates of metastasis-free survival compared with ADT alone in men with high-risk non-metastatic prostate cancer. This combination therapy may be considered a new standard treatment for this patient population.

Exosomes as novel biomarkers in metabolic disease and obesity-related cancers

Naser Jafari et al.

Summary: Exosomes are plasma-transported vesicles secreted by human tissues that reflect metabolic status. The profile of exosomes, particularly the microRNA content, is altered in metabolic diseases. In type 2 diabetes mellitus, circulating exosomes in plasma can induce transcriptional changes related to tumor progression and pro-metastatic phenotypes in target cancer cells, potentially linking obesity to cancer progression and metastasis.

Molecular mechanisms underlying the development of neuroendocrine prostate cancer

Shiqin Liu et al.

Summary: Prostate cancer is a common cancer in men in the United States and often leads to cancer-related deaths. Androgen deprivation therapy is the standard treatment for advanced prostate cancer, but some patients develop castration-resistant prostate cancer and even neuroendocrine prostate cancer. Neuroendocrine prostate cancer is characterized by the expression of neuroendocrine markers and the absence of androgen receptor, and is often associated with aggressive tumors, therapy resistance, and poor clinical outcomes.

Adefovir dipivoxil inhibits APL progression through degradation of the oncoprotein PML-RARA

Xubo Gong et al.

Summary: This study reported a case of atypical APL patient with slow disease progression over nearly 2 years without anti-leukemia therapy. The results showed that anti-HBV drugs ADV and ETV exhibited significant inhibitory effects on APL cells, with ADV demonstrating stronger cytotoxicity. ADV also promoted APL cell differentiation and apoptosis, thereby restraining the progression of APL. The study uncovered a novel mechanism of ADV prohibiting APL progression by inhibiting TRIB3 and degrading PML-RARA.

Commensal bacteria promote endocrine resistance in prostate cancer through androgen biosynthesis

Nicolo Pernigoni et al.

Summary: The gut microbiota enriched for species capable of converting androgen precursors into active androgens was found to contribute to the onset of castration resistance in CRPC. Ablation of the gut microbiota by antibiotic therapy delayed the emergence of castration resistance in mice. Fecal microbiota transplantation from CRPC patients rendered mice resistant to castration.

A Multivariate Diagnostic Model Based on Urinary EpCAM-CD9-Positive Extracellular Vesicles for Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

Yibei Dai et al.

Summary: The multivariate diagnostic model based on uEV(EpCAM-CD9) showed excellent performance in distinguishing prostate cancer from controls, with enhanced sensitivity and specificity compared to traditional PSA testing. The model also outperformed PSA in the "gray zone" of PSA levels, demonstrating potential for improved patient selection for prostate biopsies.

Androgens alter the heterogeneity of small extracellular vesicles and the small RNA cargo in prostate cancer

Elena S. Martens-Uzunova et al.

Summary: The study found that circulating vesicles with CD9 and PSMA double-positive were increased in patients with advanced metastatic prostate cancer, while CD9 and CD63 double-positive small EVs were significantly higher in patients with localized prostate cancer. Androgen manipulation altered the heterogeneity and size of CD9 positive S-EVs in prostate cancer cells expressing AR, with no impact on the total number and protein cargo of S-EVs; hormone stimulation had strong and specific effects on the small RNA cargo of S-EVs.
