Introduction: Prostate carcinoma (PRAD) is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies amongst men worldwide. It is well-known that androgen receptor (AR) plays a pivotal role in a vast majority of prostate tumors. However, recent evidence emerged stating that estrogen receptors (ERs) may also contribute to prostate tumor development. Moreover, progression and aggressiveness of prostate cancer may be associated with differential expression genes of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Therefore we aimed to assess the significance of receptors status as well as EMT marker genes expression among PRAD patients in accordance to their age and Gleason score.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed TCGA gene expression profiles of 497 prostate tumor samples according to 43 genes involved in EMT and 3 hormone receptor genes (AR, ESR1, ESR2) as well as clinical characteristic of cancer patients. Then patients were divided into four groups according to their age and 5 groups according to Gleason score. Next, we evaluated PRAD samples according to relationship between the set of variables in different combinations and compared differential expression in subsequent groups of patients. The analysis was applied using R packages: FactoMineR, gplots, RColorBrewer and NMF.

Results: MFA analysis resulted in distinct grouping of PRAD patients into four age categories according to expression level of AR, ESR1 and ESR2 with the most distinct group of age less than 50 years old. Further investigations indicated opposite expression profiles of EMT markers between different age groups as well as strong association of EMT gene expression with Gleason score. We found that depending on age of prostate cancer patients and Gleason score EMT genes with distinctly altered expression are: KRT18, KRT19, MUC1 and COL4A1, CTNNB1, SNAI2, ZEB1 and MMP3.

Conclusions: Our major observation is that prostate cancer from patients under 50 years old compared to older ones has entirely different EMT gene expression profiles showing potentially more aggressive invasive phenotype, despite Gleason score classification.

Use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer: a scoping review on the benefits and harm of mpMRI in different biopsy scenarios.

Authors:
Karen Chiam Chelsea Carle Suzanne Hughes James G Kench Henry H Woo Sally Lord David P Smith

Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 2021 Mar 2. Epub 2021 Mar 2.

Cancer Research Division, Cancer Council NSW, Woolloomooloo, NSW, Australia.

Background: There is uncertainty on how multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and MRI-targeted biopsy (MRI-TB) can be best used to manage low-risk prostate cancer patients on Active Surveillance (AS). We performed a scoping review to evaluate the benefits and harm associated with four different biopsy scenarios in which mpMRI can be implemented in AS.

Methods: Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library databases (1 January 2013-18 September 2020) were searched. Read More

Deep Neural Networks Outperform the CAPRA Score in Predicting Biochemical Recurrence After Prostatectomy.

Front Oncol 2020 11;10:607923. Epub 2021 Feb 11.

Department of Urology, CHU de Toulouse, Toulouse, France.

Background: Use of predictive models for the prediction of biochemical recurrence (BCR) is gaining attention for prostate cancer (PCa). Specifically, BCR occurs in approximately 20-40% of patients five years after radical prostatectomy (RP) and the ability to predict BCR may help clinicians to make better treatment decisions. We aim to investigate the accuracy of CAPRA score compared to others models in predicting the 3-year BCR of PCa patients. Read More

Inhibitory role of circRNA_100395 in the proliferation and metastasis of prostate cancer cells.

Authors:
Haitian He Jianhua Li Mayao Luo Qiang Wei

J Int Med Res 2021 Feb;49(2):300060521992215

Department of Urology, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.

Objective: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are non-coding RNAs with high cancer-specific expression and the potential for regulating tumorigenesis. CircRNA_100395 is expressed at low levels in many cancers and is involved in the regulation of tumor cell proliferation and metastasis. However, its expression and function in prostate cancer remain unclear. Read More
