A 1 119 bp (1105 to 2224) fragment of androgen receptor (AR) cDNA, named AR1 (containing the whole DNA binding domain, the hinge site region and the partial hormone binding domain) was constructed into an expression vector pGEX. The GST-ARI fusion protein was expressed in E. coli induced by IPTG and purified from glutathione-Sepharose-4B affinity column. With a known ARE of the C3(l) gene as positive probe, the expressed product was proved to be AR with high ARE-binding affinity by gel shifting assay(EMSA) and in vitro Dnase I footprinting analysis.

This study aimed to identify shared gene expression related to circadian rhythm disruption in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to discover common diagnostic biomarkers. Visceral fat RNA samples were collected from 12 PCOS and 14 non-PCOS patients, a sample size representing the clinical situation and sufficient to capture PCOS gene expression profiles. Along with liver transcriptome profiles from NAFLD patients, these data were analyzed to identify crosstalk circadian rhythm-related genes (CRRGs) between the diseases.

Background: Despite extensive analysis, the dynamic changes in prostate epithelial cell states during tissue homeostasis as well as tumor initiation and progression have been poorly characterized. However, recent advances in single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology have greatly facilitated studies of cell states and plasticity in tissue maintenance and cancer, including in the prostate.
Methods: We have performed meta-analyses of new and previously published scRNA-seq datasets for mouse and human prostate tissues to identify and compare cell populations across datasets in a uniform manner.

Purpose: To report real-world clinical experience with [Lu]Lu-PSMA-I&T targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in a single tertiary referral university hospital.
Methods: Patients with mCRPC who were treated with [Lu]Lu-PSMA-I&T TRT as standard of care between February 2022 and August 2023 were included in this retrospective study. Patients were treated with a maximum of six cycles with a fixed activity of 7.

Background And Objective: It has been shown that androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPIs) treatment for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) improves overall survival rates, but ARPIs appear to be associated with a higher frequency of treatment-related neuroendocrine prostate cancer (t-NEPC). Our aim was to quantify the proportion of prostate adenocarcinoma cases that transition to t-NEPC following ARPI therapy.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of the literature on t-NEPC using databases including MEDLINE and Scopus.

Rationale: LGD-4033, a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), is recognized for promoting muscle growth and enhancing athletic performance. Its potent anabolic effects have led to its prohibition in both human and animal sports. Although initial in vitro studies have offered insights into its metabolism, an in-depth in vivo analysis is necessary to fully understand its metabolic pathways.
