Estramustine (EM), a clinically successful hormone-refractory anti-prostate cancer drug, exhibited potent anti-proliferative activity, depolymerized microtubules, blocked cells at mitosis, and induced cell death in different cancer cells. Altered iron metabolism is a feature of cancer cells. Using EM, we examined the plausible relationship between microtubule depolymerization and induction of ferroptosis in human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y and IMR-32) cells.

Prostate cancer is a disease that is affecting a large population worldwide. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has become a foundation for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, as used in most clinical settings from neo-adjuvant to metastatic stage. In spite of the success of ADT in managing the disease in the majority of men, hormonal manipulation fails eventually.

Late-stage prostate cancer often acquires resistance to conventional chemotherapies and transforms into a hormone-refractory, drug-resistant, and non-curative disease. Developing non-invasive tools to detect the biochemical changes that correlate with drug efficacy and reveal the onset of drug resistance would have important ramifications in managing the treatment regimen for individual patients. Here, we report the selection of new Designed Ankyrin Repeat Proteins (DARPins) that show high affinity toward prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a biomarker used in clinical monitoring of prostate cancer.

Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is an excellent target for imaging and treatment of prostate carcinoma (PCa). Unfortunately, not all PCa cells express PSMA. Therefore, alternative theranostic targets are required.

One-third of breast cancer patients will develop recurrent cancer within 15 years of endocrine treatment. Notably, tumor growth in a hormone-refractory state still relies on the interaction between estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and upregulated coactivators. Herein, we suggest that simultaneous targeting of the primary ligand binding site (LBS) and the coactivator binding site (CABS) at ERα represents a promising alternative therapeutic strategy to overcome mutation-driven resistance in breast cancer.
