Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) has been studied in clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa) to improve the outcomes from radical prostatectomy (RP) by 'debulking' of high-risk PCa; however, using androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) at this point risks castration resistant PCa (CRPC) clonal proliferation. Our goal is to identify alternative NAT that reduce hormone sensitive PCa (HSPC) without affecting androgen receptor (AR) transcriptional activity. PCa is associated with increased expression and activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family, including HER2 and ErbB3.

This study aims to investigate whether androgen deprivation, simulating conditions of aging or disease-induced low testosterone levels, increases the susceptibility of male mice to sevoflurane neurotoxicity, and whether testosterone supplementation can reverse the toxic effects of sevoflurane. In here, young male mice were subjected to orchiectomy (ORC) to induce testosterone deprivation. Various techniques, including western blotting, immunofluorescence, Morris Water Maze, Golgi staining, and neuronal signal measurement, were used to evaluate the effects of sevoflurane on long-term (ORC 10 weeks) and short-term (ORC 2 weeks) testosterone deprivation, and assess whether testosterone (1 mg/kg 1 h before sevoflurane exposure) could mitigate sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity.

The involvement of the androgen receptor (AR) pathway in developing epithelial ovarian cancer is increasingly acknowledged. However, the specific mechanisms by which anti-androgen agents, such as flutamide, may prevent ovarian cancer and their efficacy remain unknown. This study was initiated by investigating the impact of flutamide on miRNA expression in women at high risk (HR) for ovarian cancer.

The clinical development of PROTACs targeting the androgen receptor (AR) for degradation has made significant progress. However, effective treatments for metastatic prostate cancers containing the androgen receptor splice variant 7 (AR-V7), a constitutively active mutant without the ligand-binding domain (LBD), are still lacking. Here, we reported the identification of a highly potent, noncovalent PROTAC targeting the N-terminal domain (NTD) of AR, NP18, which is developed from the covalent AR-NTD antagonist EPI-002, and effectively degrades both AR-FL and AR-V7 in 22Rv1 cells (DC: 18 and 26 nM respectively).
