Objective: To investigate the effect of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) CERS6 antisense RNA1 (CERS6-AS1) on the biological behavior of prostate cancer cells DU145 and its mechanism.
Methods: RT-PCR was used to detect the relative level of CERS6-AS1 and miR-16-5p in prostate cancer tissues, adjacent tissues, prostate cancer cells DU145, and human normal prostate epithelial cells RWPE-1. DU145 cells were divided into control group, si-CERS6-AS1 group, si-NC group, miR-16-5p mimic group, miR-NC group, and si-CERS6-AS1+miR-16-5p inhibitor group. And CCK-8 method and colony formation test was applied to detect cell proliferation ability, flow cytometry was selected to calculate cell apoptosis, and scratch healing test was employed to assess cell migration ability. Western blot was determined to detect high mobility protein A2 (HMGA2) expression. RT-PCR and dual-luciferase reporter experiments were used to analyze the targeting relationship among CERS6-AS1, miR-16-5p, and HMGA2.
Results: Compared with the adjacent tissues, the relative level of CERS6-AS1 in prostate cancer tissue was increased ( < 0.05), and the relative level of miR-16-5p was decreased ( < 0.05). Compared with RWPE-1 cells, the relative level of CERS6-AS1 in DU145 cells was increased ( < 0.05), and the relative level of miR-16-5p was decreased ( < 0.05). Compared with the control group and the si-NC group, the HMGA2 protein expression, the colony formation number, and the scratch healing rate of DU145 cells in the si-CERS6-AS1 group and the miR-16-5p mimic group were reduced ( < 0.05), and the relative level of miR-16-5p and the proliferation inhibition rate and apoptosis were increased ( < 0.05). miR-16-5p is specifically bound to CERS6-AS1 and HMGA2, respectively. Compared with the si-CERS6-AS1 group, the HMGA2 protein expression, the colony formation number, and the scratch healing rate of DU145 cells in the si-CERS6-AS1+miR-16-5p inhibitor group were increased ( < 0.05), and the cell proliferation inhibition rate and apoptosis rate were reduced ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: Silencing CERS6-AS1 can inhibit the proliferation and migration of prostate cancer cell DU145 and induce cell apoptosis, the mechanism is related to the regulation of the miR-16-5p/HMGA2 axis.

Clinical outcome of BCG treatment for patients with urothelial carcinoma of the prostatic urethra: Implications for early cystectomy.
World J Urol
January 2025
Department of Urology, Saint Marianna University School of Medicine, Kawasaki, Japan.
Purposes: This study aimed to clarify the clinical outcomes of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment in patients with urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the prostatic urethra.
Methods: Between August 2003 and January 2023, 428 patients with non-muscle-invasive UC received BCG treatment (Tokyo strain, 80 mg, ≥ 5 times) in our hospital; 39 had UC of the prostatic urethra. We evaluated the cumulative incidence of intravesical recurrence, progression (muscle-invasive bladder cancer [MIBC] or metastasis), and subsequent radical cystectomy after BCG treatment in patients with UC of the prostatic urethra.
Berberine inhibits prostate cancer progression by inducing ferroptosis: evidence from network pharmacology.
Anticancer Drugs
January 2025
School of Clinical Medicine, Zhaoqing Medical College, Zhaoqing, Guangdong, China.
The uncertain ferroptosis-related role of berberine in prostate cancer was explored using network pharmacology methodology. Integration of ferroptosis targets in prostate cancer from the Genecard database and berberine targets from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology and SwissTargetPrediction databases revealed 17 common targets. Among these, 10 hub genes, including CCNB1, CDK1, AURKA, AR, CDC42, ICAM1, TYMS, NTRK1, PTGS2, and SCD, were identified.

Purpose: This study focused on reducing the margin for prostate cancer treatment using magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy by investigating the intrafractional motion of the prostate and different motion-mitigation strategies.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed intrafractional prostate motion in 77 patients with low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer treated with five fractions of 7.25 Gy on a 1.
Cancer Incidence in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) - The Onco-SOL Ancillary Study.
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev
January 2025
San Diego State University, San Diego, California, United States.
Background: Few studies have examined how cancer incidence varies by country of origin among United States Hispanic/Latino adults. Herein, we describe the incidence rates of cancer overall and for screen-detectable, tobacco-related, and obesity-related cancers among 16,415 participants in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), an ongoing population-based cohort study of Hispanic/Latino adults from diverse backgrounds.
Methods: Cohort participant records were linked to the state cancer registries in New York, Florida, California, and Illinois to ascertain cancer incidence from baseline (2008-2011) through 2021.
Association between hormone therapy and glioma risk in US women: a cancer screening trial.
Menopause

From the Department of Neurosurgery, Chongqing General Hospital, Chongqing University, Chongqing, China.
Objective: Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults, and the role of hormone therapy (HT) in their development remains controversial. This study with a cohort design aimed to investigate the association between HT use and glioma risk using the data from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial.
Methods: We analyzed data from 75,335 women, aged 50-78, who were enrolled between 1993 and 2001.
