The microRNA -23b/-27b Cluster Suppresses the Metastatic Phenotype of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Cells

The microRNA -23b/-27b Cluster Suppresses the Metastatic Phenotype of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Cells

MicroRNAs (miRs) are small, endogenous, non-coding RNAs that regulate the stability and/or translation of complementary mRNA targets. MiRs have emerged not only as critical modulators of normal physiologic processes, but their deregulation may significantly impact prostate and other cancers. The expression of miR-23b and miR-27b, which are encoded by the same miR cluster (miR-23b/-27b), are dow...

The Iranian Society of Nuclear Medicine practical guideline on radioligand therapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer using 177Lu-PSMA

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II transmembrane protein, which is anchored in the cell membrane of prostate epithelial cells. It is highly expressed on prostate epithelial cells and strongly up-regulated in prostate cancer. Although, 177Lu-PSMA has been recently introduced for radionuclide therapy of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with co...

Complete Radiologic Response in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Treated with Cabazitaxel

The microRNA-23b/27b/24-1 cluster is a disease progression marker and tumor suppressor in prostate cancer

Our recent study of microRNA (miRNA) expression signatures in prostate cancer (PCa) has revealed that all members of the miR-23b/27b/24-1 cluster are significantly downregulated in PCa tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of these clustered miRNAs as a disease progression marker and to determine the functional significance of these clustered miRNAs in PCa. Express...

Prostate Cancer Management of Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer

The management of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) has taken several leaps forwards in the last two years, with the demonstration of improved overall survival with three novel agents (sipuleucel-T, cabazitaxel and abiraterone acetate) and a significant delay in skeletal-related events observed with denosumab. The pipeline of systemic therapies in prostate cancer r...
