[PMID: 37274473 PMCID: PMC10236269 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2023.13882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023] Open
Abstract
E-26 transformation-specific-related gene (ERG) has been implicated in prostate cancer; however, its prognostic role remains unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the association of ERG with the prognosis after radical prostatectomy in patients with prostate cancer. Patient data were collected at the Huadong Hospital, affiliated with Fudan University, between January 2016 and March 2020. ERG protein expression was detected using immunohistochemistry. Independent-sample t-tests and χ2 tests were used to evaluate prostate cancer prognosis depending on ERG levels. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate biochemical failure-free survival (BFFS) and the log-rank test was used to test the distribution. Prognostic factors were determined using Cox regression analysis. The median patient age was 69 years (range, 47-82 years). The median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and free-PSA levels before treatment were 9.58 ng/ml (range, 0.003-187.400 ng/ml) and 1.13 ng/ml (range, 0.0059-30.6100 ng/ml), respectively. ERG protein expression was positive in 43 (16.6%) and negative in 216 (83.4%) cases. The median follow-up period and BFFS were 30 and 28 months, respectively. There was a significant difference in biochemical recurrence (P=0.017) between patients with positive and negative ERG expression. Patients with positive ERG expression had significantly worse BFFS curves compared with those with negative ERG expression (P=0.0038). In the multivariate Cox regression analysis, positive ERG expression was found to be an independent prognostic factor in patients with prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy (hazard ratio, 4.08; 95% confidence interval, 2.03-8.17; P=0.000074). In conclusion, positive ERG expression is an independent prognostic risk factor for prostate cancer. These findings may be valuable for improvements in the clinical application of ERG immunohistochemistry.

Association Between Statin Exposure and Incidence and Prognosis of Prostate Cancer: A Meta-analysis Based on Observational Studies. Am J Clin Oncol 2023; 46:323-334.

Abstract
It is widely thought that statins have huge therapeutic potential against prostate cancer (PCA). This study aimed to investigate the effect of statin exposure on PCA incidence and prognosis. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched for observational studies on the association between statin exposure and PCA from inception until July 2022. The primary endpoints were the incidence of PCA and the survival rate. A total of 21 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled estimates showed that exposure to hydrophilic statins was not associated with the incidence of PCA (odds ratio [OR]=0.94, 95% CI=0.88-1.01, P =0.075), while the incidence of PCA was significantly decreased in populations exposed to lipophilic statins compared with the nonexposed group (OR=0.94, 95% CI=0.90-0.98, P =0.001), mainly in Western countries (OR=0.94, 95% CI=0.91-0.98, P =0.006). Subgroup analysis showed that simvastatin (OR=0.83, 95% CI=0.71-0.97, P =0.016) effectively reduced the incidence of PCA. The prognosis of PCA in patients exposed to both hydrophilic (hazard ratio [HR]=0.57, 95% CI=0.49-0.66, P <0.001) and lipophilic (HR=0.65, 95% CI=0.58-0.73, P <0.001) statins were better than in the nonexposed group, and this improvement was more significant in the East than in Western countries. This study demonstrates that statins can reduce the incidence of PCA and improve prognosis, and are affected by population region and statin properties (hydrophilic and lipophilic).

Predictive factors associated with differential pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemohormonal therapy in high-risk localized prostate cancer. Urol Oncol 2023:S1078-1439(23)00163-1. [PMID: 37295981 DOI: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2023.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the clinical parameters and molecular biomarkers that can predict differential pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemohormonal therapy (NCHT) in prostate cancer (CaP). METHODS A total of 128 patients with primary high-risk localized CaP who had received NCHT followed by radical prostatectomy (RP) were included. Androgen receptor (AR), AR splice variant-7 (AR-V7) and Ki-67 staining were evaluated in prostate biopsy specimens by immunohistochemistry. The pathologic response to NCHT in whole mount RP specimens was measured based on the reduction degree of tumor volume and cellularity compared to the paired pretreatment needle biopsy, and divided into 5 tier grades (Grades 0-4). Patients with Grades 2 to 4 (the reduction degree more than 30%) were defined as having a favorable response. Logistic regression was performed to explore the predictive factors associated with a favorable pathologic response. The predictive accuracy was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the ROC curve (AUC). RESULTS Ninety-seven patients (75.78%) had a favorable response to NCHT. Logistic regression showed that the preoperative PSA level, low AR expression and high Ki-67 expression in biopsy specimens were associated with a favorable pathologic response (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the AUC of the preoperative PSA level, AR and Ki-67 were 0.625, 0.624 and 0.723, respectively. Subgroup analysis revealed that the rate of favorable pathologic response to NCHT was 88.5% in patients with ARlowKi-67high, which was higher than patients with ARlowKi-67low, ARhighKi-67low, and ARhighKi-67high (88.5% vs. 73.9%, 72.9%, and 70.9%, all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS A lower preoperative PSA level was an independent predictive factor for a favorable pathologic response. Moreover, the expression status of AR and Ki-67 in biopsy specimens were associated with differential pathologic response to NCHT, and AR low/Ki-67 high was also associated with favorable response but warrants further evaluation in this patient subgroup and future trial clinical trial design.

Prognostic Significance of Chromogranin A Expression in the Initial and Second Biopsies in Metastatic Prostate Cancer. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12103362.

Abstract
Neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) characterized by the expression of neuroendocrine markers, such as chromogranin A (CgA), is frequently observed in advanced prostate cancer (PCa), the prognostic significance of which is still controversial. Here we specifically addressed the issue of the potential prognostic value of CgA expression in advanced-stage PCa patients with distant metastases and its change over time from metastatic hormone-sensitive (mHSPC) to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). CgA expression was assessed immunohistochemically in initial biopsies of mHSPC, as well as in second biopsies of mCRPC in sixty-eight patients, and its correlation with prognosis (together with conventional clinicopathologic parameters) was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard model. We found that CgA expression was an independent adverse prognostic factor for both mHSPC (CgA positivity ≥ 1%, HR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.04-4.26, p = 0.031) and mCRPC (CgA ≥ 10%, HR = 20.19, 95% CI: 3.04-329.9, p = 0.008). CgA positivity generally increased from mHSPC to mCRPC and was a negative prognosticator. The assessment of CgA expression may help with the clinical evaluation of advanced-stage patients with distant metastases.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most prevalent malignancy in males across the world. A greater knowledge of the relationship between protein abundance and drug responses would benefit precision treatment for PCa. Herein, we establish 35 Chinese PCa primary cell models to capture specific characteristics among PCa patients, including gene mutations, mRNA/protein/surface protein distributions, and pharmaceutical responses. The multi-omics analyses identify Anterior Gradient 2 (AGR2) as a pre-operative prognostic biomarker in PCa. Through the drug library screening, we describe crizotinib as a selective compound for malignant PCa primary cells. We further perform the pharmacoproteome analysis and identify 14,372 significant protein-drug correlations. Surprisingly, the diminished AGR2 enhances the inhibition activity of crizotinib via ALK/c-MET-AKT axis activation which is validated by PC3 and xenograft model. Our integrated multi-omics approach yields a comprehensive understanding of PCa biomarkers and pharmacological responses, allowing for more precise diagnosis and therapies.

Abstract
High-throughput metabolic fingerprinting has been deemed one of the most promising strategies for addressing the high false positive rate of prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis in the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) gray zone. However, the current metabolic fingerprinting remains challenging in achieving high-precision metabolite detection in complex biological samples (e.g., serum and urine). Herein, a novel self-assembly MoS2 /MXene heterostructure nanocomposite with a tailored doping ratio of 10% is presented as a matrix for laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry analysis in clinical biosamples. Notably, owing to the two-dimensional architecture and doping effect, MoS2 /MXene demonstrates favorable laser desorption ionization performance with low adsorption energy, which is evidenced by efficient urinary metabolic fingerprinting with an enhanced area under curve (AUC) diagnosis capability of 0.959 relative to that of serum metabolic fingerprinting (AUC = 0.902) for the diagnosis of PCa in the PSA gray zone. Thus, this MoS2 /MXene heterostructure is anticipated to offer a novel strategy to precisely and noninvasively diagnose PCa in the PSA gray zone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is a genetically heterogeneous disease with a poor prognosis. The prevalence of mutations in homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway genes, including BRCA1/2, as well as treatment patterns and clinical outcomes, are not well characterized among Japanese men with mCRPC. METHODS This multicenter, noninterventional cohort study enrolled Japanese men with mCRPC from 24 institutions between 2014 and 2018. Mutations in the 15 HRR-related genes were assessed using archival primary or metastatic tumor samples. Patterns of sequential therapies for mCRPC were investigated. Patients were followed up for survival evaluation including prostate-specific antigen progression-free survival (PSA-PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Of the 143 patients analyzed, HRR-related mutations were detected in 51 patients (35.7%). The most frequently mutated genes were CDK12 (N = 19, 13.3%), followed by BRCA2 (N = 18, 12.6%), ATM (N = 8, 5.6%), and CHEK2 (N = 3, 2.1%). The most common type of first-line therapy for mCRPC was next-generation hormonal agents (NHA, 44.4%), followed by first-generation antiandrogens (FGA, 30.3%), and taxanes (22.5%). Commonly prescribed first-/second-line sequential regimens included FGA/NHA (17.6%), NHA/NHA (15.5%), and NHA/taxanes (14.1%). The median PSA-PFS and OS for the entire cohort were 5.6 and 26.1 months, respectively. Patients carrying BRCA1/2 mutations had numerically shorter PSA-PFS (median 3.3 vs. 5.9 months) and OS (median 20.7 vs. 27.3 months) than those without mutations. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, approximately one-third of Japanese patients with mCRPC carried mutations in HRR-related genes in this study. The real-world outcomes of mCRPC are poor with conventional therapy, warranting an expansion of treatment options based on genetic abnormalities of the disease.

Abstract
Exosomes are small membrane-enclosed vesicles that are released by most living cells and harbor a diverse array of proteins, nucleic acids, and lipid cargos. These exosomes offer valuable biomarkers that may offer insights regarding as a range of physiological and pathological processes, including immune responses, cancer development, pregnancy, and diseases of the central nervous system. With the development of high-throughput technologies, the vital functions of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been gradually entered people's vision and become new research hotspots. Nowadays, lncRNAs can play important roles in cancer progression by combining with miRNAs, activating molecular targets and other ways, and are also related to the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis for cancer, such as prostate cancer. Current review focused on the summary of diagnostic roles and mechanistic functions about exosomal lncRNAs in prostate cancer.

Abstract
To date, the combined effect of polygenic risk score (PRS) and prostate health index (phi) on PCa diagnosis in men undergoing prostate biopsy has never been investigated. A total of 3166 patients who underwent initial prostate biopsy in three tertiary medical centers from August 2013 to March 2019 were included. PRS was calculated on the basis of the genotype of 102 reported East-Asian-specific risk variants. It was then evaluated in the univariable or multivariable logistic regression models that were internally validated using repeated 10-fold cross-validation. Discriminative performance was assessed by area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) and net reclassification improvement (NRI) index. Compared with men in the first quintile of age and family history adjusted PRS, those in the second, third, fourth, and fifth quintiles were 1.86 (odds ratio, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.34-2.56), 2.07 (95%CI: 1.50-2.84), 3.26 (95%CI: 2.36-4.48), and 5.06 (95%CI: 3.68-6.97) times as likely to develop PCa (all p < 0.001). Adjustment for other clinical parameters yielded similar results. Among patients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at 2-10 ng/mL or 2-20 ng/mL, PRS still had an observable ability to differentiate PCa in the group of prostate health index (phi) at 27-36 (Ptrend < 0.05) or >36 (Ptrend ≤ 0.001). Notably, men with moderate phi (27-36) but highest PRS (top 20% percentile) would have a comparable risk of PCa (positive rate: 26.7% or 31.3%) than men with high phi (>36) but lowest PRS (bottom 20% percentile positive rate: 27.4% or 34.2%). The combined model of PRS, phi, and other clinical risk factors provided significantly better performance (AUC: 0.904, 95%CI: 0.887-0.921) than models without PRS. Adding PRS to clinical risk models could provide significant net benefit (NRI, from 8.6% to 27.6%), especially in those early onset patients (NRI, from 29.2% to 44.9%). PRS may provide additional predictive value over phi for PCa. The combination of PRS and phi that effectively captured both clinical and genetic PCa risk is clinically practical, even in patients with gray-zone PSA.

Treatment outcomes with radium-223 in docetaxel-naïve versus docetaxel-treated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients: Real-world evidence from Taiwan. Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e32671.

Abstract
While radium (Ra)-223 is among the multiple, known life-prolonging treatments in bone-predominant metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), optimal treatment sequencing has not been determined, particularly in the Asia-Pacific context. Hence, we aimed to compare treatment outcomes of docetaxel-naïve and post-docetaxel mCRPC patients undergoing Ra-223 therapy in Taiwan. Using a single-center retrospective cohort design, we reviewed records of adult patients receiving Ra-223 for bone-metastatic mCRPC from 2018 to 2021. Patients were categorized into docetaxel-naïve or post-docetaxel groups based on history of docetaxel use preceding Ra-223. We compared the 2 groups in terms of all-cause death, 6-cycle treatment completion, and the following secondary outcomes: pain control, change in biochemical parameters (prostate-specific antigen, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase), biochemical response, and treatment-emergent adverse events. We performed total population sampling and a complete case analysis. We included 48 patients (25 docetaxel-naïve, 23 post-docetaxel) in the study. The mean follow-up duration was 12.4 months for the entire cohort. The docetaxel-naïve group exhibited a significantly lower all-cause mortality rate versus the post-docetaxel group (40.0% vs 78.3%, P = .02), as well as a significantly higher treatment completion rate (72.0% vs 26.1%, P < .01). We did not find significant differences in pain control, change in biochemical parameters, biochemical response, or hematologic treatment-emergent adverse events between the 2 groups. However, the docetaxel-naïve group had a numerically higher pain control rate, numerically greater improvements in alkaline phosphatase and prostate-specific antigen, and numerically lower rates of grade ≥ 3 neutropenia and grade ≥ 3 thrombocytopenia than the post-docetaxel group. Use of Ra-223 in docetaxel-naïve patients with mCRPC led to lower mortality and higher treatment completion than post-docetaxel use. Our study adds preliminary real-world evidence that Ra-223 may be used safely and effectively in earlier lines of treatment for bone-predominant mCRPC. Further large-scale, longer-term, and controlled studies are recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transrectal (TR) ultrasound guided prostate biopsy and transperineal (TP) ultrasound guided prostate biopsy are the two most commonly used methods to detect prostate cancer, the detection rate of the two biopsy approaches may differ in patients with different clinical characteristics. Here we aimed to compare the prostate cancer detection rate and positive rate of biopsy cores between TR and TP prostate biopsy in patients with different clinical characteristics. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed and compared the clinical data of 452 patients underwent TR or TP prostate biopsy in our hospital from June 2017 to September 2021. And patients were stratified according to several clinical characteristic (serum PSA level, prostate volume, PSA density, T stage and ISUP grade), cancer detection rate and positive rate of biopsy cores were compared in different stratified groups. RESULTS There was no significant difference in age, PSA level, prostate volume, and PSA density between the TR and TP groups. TR group had a higher overall cancer detection rate and positive rate of biopsy cores than TP group. Further subgroup analysis showed that TR group had a higher cancer detection rate in patients with prostate volumes 30-80 mL, and that the TR group had a higher positive rate of biopsy cores among the patients with T3-T4 stages, while TP group had a higher positive rates of biopsy cores among the patients with T1-T2 stages. There were no significant differences between the TR and TP groups for each subgroup when stratified by PSA level, PSA density and ISUP grade. CONCLUSIONS TR approach may have advantage in patients with prostate volumes 30-80 mL and T3-T4 stages, while TP approach may have advantage in patients with T1-T2 stages.

Abstract
Chromatin remodeling proteins contribute to DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. The chromodomain helicase DNA-binding (CHD) family of remodelers plays crucial roles in embryonic development, hematopoiesis, and neurogenesis. As the founding member, CHD1 is capable of assembling nucleosomes, remodeling chromatin structure, and regulating gene transcription. Dysregulation of CHD1 at genetic, epigenetic, and post-translational levels is common in malignancies and other human diseases. Through interacting with different genetic alterations, CHD1 possesses the capabilities to exert oncogenic or tumor-suppressive functions in context-dependent manners. In this Review, we summarize the biochemical properties and dysregulation of CHD1 in cancer cells, and then discuss CHD1's roles in different contexts of prostate cancer, with an emphasis on its crosstalk with diverse signaling pathways. Furthermore, we highlight the potential therapeutic strategies for cancers with dysregulated CHD1. At last, we discuss current research gaps in understanding CHD1's biological functions and molecular basis during disease progression, as well as the modeling systems for biology study and therapeutic development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of a long non-coding RNA called small nucleolar RNA host gene 25 (SNHG25) has been studied in some tumor types but the correlation between SNHG25 and PCA remains unknown. METHODS The relationship between clinicopathologic characteristics and SNHG25 expression was evaluated using The Cancer Genome Atlas data. The binary classifier value of SNHG25 was calculated using areas under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Outcomes were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. Gene set enrichment was performed to identify potential SNHG25 functions. RESULTS SNHG25 expression was significantly increased in PCA and correlated with age, primary therapy outcome, N stage, Gleason score, and residual tumor (p < 0.05). ROC curves demonstrated the effect of SNHG25 on diagnosis and outcomes (area under the curve = 0.923). Higher SNHG25 expression predicted shorter progression-free interval (PFI) (p < 0.001), and Cox regression showed that SNHG25 expression was an independent risk factor for reduced PFI (p = 0.028). SNHG25 expression was associated with mRNA and protein metabolism. CONCLUSIONS SNHG25 expression increases significantly in PCA and is negatively associated with PFI. It is a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in PCA.

Abstract
In the United States, prostate cancer (CaP) remains the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men. CaP is predominantly indolent at diagnosis, with a small fraction (25-30%) representing an aggressive subtype (Gleason score 7-10) that is prone to metastatic progression. This fact, coupled with the criticism surrounding the role of prostate specific antigen in prostate cancer screening, demonstrates the current need for a biomarker(s) that can identify clinically significant CaP and avoid unnecessary biopsy procedures and psychological implications of being diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer. Although several diagnostic biomarkers are available to clinicians, very few comparative trials have been performed to assess the clinical effectiveness of these biomarkers. It is of note, however, that a majority of these clinical trials have been over-represented by men of Caucasian origin, despite the fact that African American men have a 1.7 times higher incidence and 2.1 times higher rate of mortality from prostate cancer. Biomarkers for CaP diagnosis based on the tissue of origin include urine-based gene expression assays (PCA3, Select MDx, ExoDx Prostate IntelliScore, Mi-Prostate Score, PCA3-PCGEM1 gene panel), blood-based protein biomarkers (4K, PHI), and tissue-based DNA biomarker (Confirm MDx). Another potential direction that has emerged to aid in the CaP diagnosis include multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and bi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI), which in conjunction with clinically validated biomarkers may provide a better approach to predict clinically significant CaP at diagnosis. In this review, we discuss some of the adjunctive biomarker tests along with newer imaging modalities that are currently available to help clinicians decide which patients are at risk of having high-grade CaP on prostate biopsy with the emphasis on clinical utility of the tests across African American (AA) and Caucasian (CA) men.

Alterations of plasma exosomal proteins and motabolies are associated with the progression of castration-resistant prostate cancer. J Transl Med 2023; 21:40.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current diagnosis tools for prostate cancer (PCa) such as serum PSA detection and prostate biopsy cannot distinguish dormant tumors from invasive malignancies, either be used as prognosis marker for castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), the lethal stage of PCa patients. Exosomes have been widely investigated as promising biomarkers for various diseases. We aim to characterize the proteomic and metabolomic profile of exosomes and to evaluate their potential value for the diagnosis of PCa, especially CRPC. We also investigate the functions of some specific exosome biomarkers in the progression of CRPC. METHODS Integrated proteomics and metabolomics analysis were performed for plasma-derived exosomes collected from tumor-free controls (TFC), PCa and CRPC patients. Expression of specific exosomal proteins were further validated by targeted 4D-parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) mass spectrometry among the three cohorts. Tissue distribution and functional role of exosomal protein LRG1 was studied in clinical PCa tissue samples and cell line models. RESULTS Three potential exosomal protein markers were identified. The apolipoprotein E level in PCa samples was 1.7-fold higher than that in TFC (receiver operating characteristic value, 0.74). Similarly, the levels of exosome-derived leucine-rich alpha2-glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) and inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H3 (ITIH3) in the CRPC group were 1.7 and 2.04 times, respectively, higher than those in the PCa group (ROC values, 0.84 and 0.85, respectively), indicating that LRG1 and ITIH3 could serve as predictive markers for CRPC. For metabolomic evaluation of exosomes, a series of differentially expressed metabolites were identified, and a combined metabolite panel showed ROC value of 0.94 for distinguishing PCa from TFC and 0.97 for distinguishing CRPC from PCa. Immunohistochemistry of tissue microarray showed that LRG1 protein was significantly upregulated in advanced prostate cancer and functional assay revealed that ectopic expression of LRG1 can significantly enhance the malignant phenotype of prostate cancer cells. More importantly, PCa cell derived LRG1-overexpressed exosomes remarkably promoted angiogenesis. CONCLUSION Integration of proteomics and metabolomics data generated proteomic and metabolic signatures of plasma exosomes that may facilitate discrimination of CRPC from PCa and TFC patients, suggesting the potential of exosomal proteins and metabolites as CRPC markers. The study also confirmed the important role of exosomal protein LRG1 in PCa malignant progression.

Abstract
With advancements in sequencing technologies, an increasing number of aberrantly expressed long-non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identified in various types of cancer. lncRNAs and circRNAs are now well-established tumor-influencing factors in cancer, driving not only tumor proliferation and invasion, but also cancer progression, drug resistance and metastatic recurrence. The majority of lncRNAs and circRNAs influence cancer progression by targeting microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs). miR-10a and miR-10b, key members of the miR-10 family, have been shown to play important regulatory roles in cell proliferation, differentiation to cancer progression, and development. Manual evaluation and grouping according to different types of competing endogenous RNA and tumor was performed. The review outlined the current state of knowledge on the regulation of miR-10 family-related lncRNAs and circRNAs. The involvement of lncRNAs and circRNAs in the biogenesis, maturation and function of malignant tumors through the miR-10 family, and the key gene targets and signaling cascades that lncRNAs and circRNAs regulate through the miR-10 family were summarized. Based on the findings of this review, it can be hypothesized that lncRNAs and circRNAs targeting the miR-10 family may serve as diagnostic/prognostic markers and/or therapeutic targets for the management of cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adding ipatasertib to abiraterone and prednisone/prednisolone significantly improved radiographic progression-free survival for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with PTEN-loss tumours by immunohistochemistry in the IPATential150 trial (NCT03072238). Here we characterise the safety of these agents in subpopulations and assess manageability of key adverse events (AEs). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this randomised, double-blind, phase 3 trial, patients with previously untreated asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic mCRPC were randomised 1:1 to receive ipatasertib-abiraterone or placebo-abiraterone (all with prednisone/prednisolone). AEs were analysed, focusing on key AEs of diarrhoea, hyperglycaemia, rash and transaminase increased. RESULTS 1097 patients received study medication and were assessed for safety (47% with PTEN-loss tumours by immunohistochemistry and 20% were Asian). Ipatasertib was associated with increased Grade 3/4 AEs and AEs leading to treatment discontinuation vs placebo. The rate of discontinuation of ipatasertib was 18% in patients with PTEN-loss and 21% overall. The frequencies of all-grade, Grade 3/4 and serious AEs were similar between the PTEN-loss and overall populations. Diarrhoea, hyperglycaemia, rash and transaminase elevation were more frequent in ipatasertib-treated patients, appearing rapidly after treatment initiation (median onset: 8-43 days for ipatasertib arm and 56-104 days for placebo). The ipatasertib discontinuation rate was 32% and 18% in Asian and non-Asian patients, respectively, despite similar baseline characteristics and Grade 3/4 AE frequencies between groups. CONCLUSIONS Ipatasertib plus abiraterone had an overall tolerable safety profile consistent with known toxicities. More AEs leading to drug discontinuation were observed with ipatasertib than placebo, but incidence would likely be lessened with prophylactic measures.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of Hsp27 and the inhibitory effect of Atractylenolide I (ATL-1) on the proliferation of prostate cancer cell DU145 and PC-3. Methods MTT assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of silencing Hsp27 and ATL-1 on DU145 and PC-3 proliferation of prostate cancer cells. TUNEL detected the apoptosis rate of prostate cancer cell DU145 and PC-3 after silencing Hsp27 and ATL-1 treated. qRT-PCR was used to detect the changes of apoptosis related genes caspase-3, PARP, Bax and Bcl-2 in prostate cancer cell DU145 and PC-3 after the effect of silencing Hsp27 and ATL-1 treated. At the same time, the antitumor effect of ATL-1 combined with cabozantinib was analyzed. Results Hsp27 was highly expressed in human prostate cancer. MTT assay showed that ATL-1 inhibited the proliferation of prostate cancer cells DU145 and PC-3 compared with the control group. TUNEL results showed that silencing Hsp27 and ATL-1 treated could significantly promote the apoptosis of prostate cancer cells DU145 and PC-3 compared with the control group. qRT-PCR results showed that compared with the control group, ATL-1 could promote the expression of caspase-3, PARP and Bax in DU145 and PC-3 prostate cancer cells. Inhibition of Hsp27 by ATL-1 reduced cell viability and induced apoptosis. ATL-1 inhibits the antitumor effect of Hsp27 - enhanced cabozantinib. Hsp27 regulates eIF4E and mediates cell protection. Conclusion Silencing Hsp27 inhibits EMT. ATL-1 can inhibit the malignant evolution of prostate cancer cells by inhibiting Hsp27/eIF4E. ATL-1 also enhanced chemosensitization of cabozantinib in prostate cancer.

Abstract
Oligometastatic prostate cancer is a term that is most often used to refer to limited sites of disseminated tumor growth following primary radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiotherapy (RT), while de novo oligometastatic is a term that is used to refer to prostate tumors that have disseminated to limited sites before definitive treatment. In patients with de novo oligometastatic prostate cancer, treatment planning must thus consider the need to manage the primary tumor and the associated distant lesions. Traditionally, resectioning primary metastatic tumors is not thought to offer significant benefits to affected patients while increasing their risk of surgery-related complications. Recent clinical evidence indicates that patients undergoing cytoreductive prostatectomy (CRP) may observe substantial enhancements in overall survival rates while not experiencing a noticeable decline in their quality of life. Nevertheless, based on the current body of evidence, it is deemed inadequate to justify revising clinical guidelines. Consequently, it is not advisable to propose CRP for patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer. The present review was compiled to summarize available data regarding the indications, functional outcomes, and oncological outcomes associated with cytoreductive radical prostatectomy to provide a robust and objective foundation that can be used to better assess the value of this interventional strategy from a clinical perspective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prostate, as an endocrine and reproductive organ, undergoes complex hormonal and metabolic changes. Recent studies have shown a potential relationship between metabolic syndrome and the progression and recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa). This study aimed to construct a metabolic syndrome-related prognostic index (MSRPI) to predict biochemical recurrence-free survival (BFS) in patients with PCa and to identify cold and hot tumors to improve individualized treatment for patients with PCa. METHODS The Cancer Genome Atlas database provided training and test data, and the Gene Expression Omnibus database provided validation data. We extracted prognostic differentially expressed metabolic syndrome-related genes (DEMSRGs) related to BFS using univariate Cox analysis and identified potential tumor subtypes by consensus clustering. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm and multivariate Cox regression were used to construct the MSRPI. We further validated the predictive power of the MSRPI using KaplanMeier survival analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, both internally and externally. Drug sensitivity was predicted using the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50). Finally, we explored the landscape of somatic mutations in the risk groups. RESULTS Forty-six prognostic DEMSRGs and two metabolic syndrome-associated molecular clusters were identified. Cluster 2 was more immunogenic. Seven metabolic syndrome-related genes (CSF3R, TMEM132A, STAB1, VIM, DUOXA1, PILRB, and SLC2A4) were used to construct risk equations. The high-risk index was significantly associated with a poor BFS, which was also validated in the validation cohort. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for BFS at 1-, 3-, and 5- year in the entire cohort was 0.819, 0.785, and 0.772, respectively, demonstrating the excellent predictive power of the MSRPI. Additionally, the MSRPI was found to be an independent prognostic factor for BFS in PCa. More importantly, MSRPI helped differentiate between cold and hot tumors. Hot tumors were associated with the high-risk group. Multiple drugs demonstrated significantly lower IC50 values in the high-risk group, offering the prospect of precision therapy for patients with PCa. CONCLUSION The MSRPI developed in this study was able to predict biochemical recurrence in patients with PCa and identify cold and hot tumors. MSRPI has the potential to improve personalized precision treatment.

Abstract
Introduction Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are one of the most abundant cell types in tumor microenvironment. However, the phenotypic and functional heterogeneities among CAFs have not been sufficiently investigated in prostate cancer. Methods We obtained and analyzed the single-cell RNA-sequencing data from 26 hormone-sensitive prostate cancer samples and 8 castration-resistant prostate cancer samples, along with the analysis of bulk-sequencing datasets. Furthermore, we performed multicolor immunofluorescence staining to verify the findings from the data analysis. Results We identified two major CAFs subtypes with distinct molecular characteristics and biological functions in prostate cancer microenvironment, namely αSMA+ CAV1+ CAFs-C0 and FN1+ FAP+ CAFs-C1. Another single-cell RNA-sequencing dataset containing 7 bone metastatic prostate cancer samples demonstrated that osteoblasts in the bone metastatic lesions comprised two subtypes with molecular characteristics and biological functions similar to CAFs-C0 and CAFs-C1 in the primary tumor sites. In addition, we discovered a transcriptional factor regulatory network depending on CAFs-C1. CAFs-C1, but not CAFs-C0, was associated with castration resistance and poor prognosis. We also found that CAFs-C1 signature was involved in treatment resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Discussion In summary, our results identified the presence of heterogeneous CAFs subtypes in prostate cancer microenvironment and the potential of specific CAFs subtype as therapeutic target for castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed at predicting cancer mortality rates for the current year for the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Israel, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Korea, and Australia, with a focus on colorectal cancer. METHODS We retrieved official death certification and population data from the WHO and the United Nations Population Division databases. We analyzed mortality for all cancers combined and for 10 major cancer sites from 1970 to 2019, or the latest available year. We predicted numbers of deaths and age-standardized mortality rates for 2022 using Poisson joinpoint regression models. We estimated the number of averted deaths over the period 1994-2022 because of the decline in mortality rates. RESULTS Total cancer mortality declined in all countries and both sexes. Russia had the highest total cancer predicted rates for 2022: 156.4/100 000 (world standard) in men and 81.4 in women; the lowest rates were reported in Israeli men (90.6/100 000) and Korean women (44.5/100 000). Between 1994 and 2022, a total of 1 487 000 deaths were estimated to be avoided in Russia, 502 000 in Ukraine, 58 000 in Israel, 102 000 in Hong Kong SAR, 1 020 000 in Japan, 533 000 in the Republic of Korea, and 263 000 in Australia. Colorectal cancer mortality trends were downward for the last decades with favorable predictions for 2022 in both sexes. CONCLUSION In the countries considered, predicted downward trends started later and were less marked than those in the European Union and the USA. Despite overall favorable predictions, colorectal cancer remains one of the major causes of cancer mortality.

Abstract
To report the regional locations of metastases and to estimate the prognostic value of the pattern of regional metastases in men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), we retrospectively analyzed 870 mHSPC patients between November 28, 2009, and February 4, 2021, from West China Hospital in Chengdu, China. The patients were initially classified into 5 subgroups according to metastatic patterns as follows: simple bone metastases (G1), concomitant bone and regional lymph node (LN) metastases (G2), concomitant bone and nonregional LN (NRLN) metastases (G3), lung metastases (G4), and liver metastases (G5). In addition, patients in the G3 group were subclassified as G3a and G3b based on the LN metastatic plane (below or above the diaphragm, respectively). The associations of different metastatic patterns with castration-resistant prostate cancer-free survival (CFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses. The results showed that patients in G1 and G2 had relatively favorable clinical outcomes, patients in G3a and G4 had intermediate prognoses, and patients in G3b and G5 had the worst survival outcomes. We observed that patients in G3b had outcomes comparable to those in G5 but had a significantly worse prognosis than patients in G3a (median CFS: 8.2 months vs 14.3 months, P = 0.015; median OS: 38.1 months vs 45.8 months, P = 0.038). In conclusion, metastatic site can predict the prognosis of patients with mHSPC, and the presence of concomitant bone and NRLN metastases is a valuable prognostic factor. Furthermore, our findings indicate that the farther the NRLNs are located, the more aggressive the disease is.

Abstract
The success of the PROfound, IPATential150, and TheraP trials promoted the transition from sequential treatment to therapeutic targets (TTs)-guided precision treatment in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and prognostic value of TTs from these three trials. All included Chinese mCRPC patients underwent circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) sequencing, PTEN status assessment, and dual-tracer [68 Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and 18 F-fluorodexyglucose (FDG)] positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). Previous treatment with cabazitaxel, Lu-PSMA or olaparib was unallowed. Patients with known significant sarcomatoid or spindle cell or neuroendocrine small cell components were also excluded. TTs were defined as positive as follows: (a) high PSMA and no PSMA-/FDG+ disease on dual-tracer PET/CT scans; (b) defects in homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes in ctDNA; and (c) loss of PTEN immunohistochemistry staining in tumor tissue. The prevalence and prognostic value on progression-free survival (PFS) of TTs were evaluated. A total of 106 consecutive mCRPC patients were included. The prevalence of positive PET/CT, HRR defect, and PTEN loss was 30%, 29% and 16%, respectively. Sixty-three patients had at least one TT. Metastatic volume (odds ratio = 5.0; P = 0.017) was the only independent factor of positive TT in multivariate analysis. Seventy-four patients received abiraterone after TT screening. Patients with positive PET/CT (P = 0.011) and HRR defect (P = 0.002) had a significantly shorter PFS after receiving abiraterone than patients with negative TTs. However, PTEN status was unrelated to PFS, which may be due to a less number of patients with PTEN loss (P = 0.952). Overall, patients with any positive TTs had a significantly shorter PFS after abiraterone than patients with negative TTs (P = 0.009). Nearly 60% of Chinese patients with mCRPC who had a poor prognosis on abiraterone were candidates for precision treatments based on the specific criteria of TTs.

Clinical Analysis of Perioperative Outcomes on Neoadjuvant Hormone Therapy before Laparoscopic and Robot-Assisted Surgery for Localized High-Risk Prostate Cancer in a Chinese Cohort. Curr Oncol 2022; 29:8668-8676. [PMID: 36421336 PMCID: PMC9689847 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol29110683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2022] [Revised: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the perioperative outcomes of neoadjuvant hormone therapy (NHT) before laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery for localized high-risk prostate cancer in a Chinese cohort. METHODS The clinical data of 385 patients with localized high-risk prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) in our hospital from January 2019 to June 2021 were analyzed retrospectively, including 168 patients with preoperative NHT and 217 patients with simple surgery. Clinical characteristics were compared in the above two groups, the laparoscopic RP (LRP) cohort (n = 234) and the robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) cohort (n = 151), respectively. RESULTS In the overall cohort, compared with the control group, the NHT group had a shorter operative time, less blood loss, a lower positive surgical margin rate, and a higher proportion of Gleason score (GS) downgrading after the operation (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in hospitalization time, biochemical recurrence, urine leakage, urinary continence, or prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression-free survival (p > 0.05). In the LRP cohort, it was found that the NHT group also had shorter operative time, less blood loss, lower positive surgical margin rate, a higher proportion of GS downgrading after the operation, and faster recovery of urinary control than the control group (p < 0.05). There was no marked difference in hospitalization time, biochemical recurrence, urinary leakage, or PSA progression-free survival. However, in the RALP cohort, the NHT group had a significant difference in the GS downgrading after the operation compared with the control group (p < 0.05). In the overall cohort, multiple analyses showed that initial PSA level, GS at biopsy, clinical T stage, lymph node invasion, use of NHT, and surgical methods were significantly associated with positive surgical margin (p < 0.05) while NHT did not account for biochemical recurrence (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS NHT can lower the difficulty of surgery, reduce positive surgical margin rate, and help recovery in short-term urinary control in patients with high-risk prostate cancer after LRP. However, we do not have evidence on the benefit of NHT in high-risk PCa patients treated with RALP. For these patients, surgery can be performed as early as possible.

Effect of transmembrane protein 100 on prostate cancer progression by regulating SCNN1D through the FAK/PI3K/AKT pathway. Transl Oncol 2022; 27:101578. [PMID: 36375375 PMCID: PMC9661392 DOI: 10.1016/j.tranon.2022.101578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The effects of transmembrane (TMEM) proteins in the progression of prostate cancer (PCa) remain unknown. This study aims to explore the functions of TMEM100 in PCa. To explore the expression, regulation, and effects of TMEM100 in PCa, two PCa cell lines and 30 PCa tissue samples with adjacent control tissues were examined. Online databases, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, western blot, flow cytometry, colony formation, wound healing, transwell assays, and xenograft mouse models were used to explore effects of TMEM100 relevant to PCa. TMEM100 expression was shown to decrease in PCa patients, and low TMEM100 expression was associated with tumor stage and metastasis. Overexpression of TMEM100 suppressed PCa progression by inhibiting the FAK/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Tumor size was smaller in TMEM100 overexpressing PCa cells in xenograft mice than in control mice. We also found that TMEM100 could regulate SCNN1D by inhibiting FAK/PI3K/AKT signaling in PCa cell lines. Taken together, our findings indicate that TMEM100 is a tumor suppressor that plays a vital role in preventing PCa proliferation, migration, and invasion through inhibition of FAK/PI3K/AKT signaling. These studies suggest that TMEM100 can be used as a predictive biomarker and therapeutic target.

Abstract
As the most common cancer of the genitourinary system, prostate cancer (PCa) is a global men's health problem whose treatments are an urgent research issue. Treatment options for PCa include active surveillance (AS), surgery, endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, etc. However, as the cancer progresses, the effectiveness of treatment options gradually decreases, especially in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), for which there are fewer therapeutic options and which have a shorter survival period and worse prognosis. For this reason, oncolytic viral therapy (PV), with its exceptional properties of selective tumor killing, relatively good safety in humans, and potential for transgenic delivery, has attracted increasing attention as a new form of anti-tumor strategy for PCa. There is growing evidence that OV not only kills tumor cells directly by lysis but can also activate anticancer immunity by acting on the tumor microenvironment (TME), thereby preventing tumor growth. In fact, evidence of the efficacy of this strategy has been observed since the late 19th century. However, subsequently, interest waned. The renewed interest in this therapy was due to advances in biotechnological methods and innovations at the end of the 20th century, which was also the beginning of PCa therapy with OV. Moreover, in combination with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, gene therapy or immunotherapy, OV viruses can have a wide range of applications and can provide an effective therapeutic result in the treatment of PCa.

The current role of precision surgery in oligometastatic prostate cancer. ESMO Open 2022; 7:100597. [PMID: 36208497 PMCID: PMC9551071 DOI: 10.1016/j.esmoop.2022.100597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Oligometastatic prostate cancer (omPCa) is a novel intermediate disease state characterized by a limited volume of metastatic cells and specific locations. Accurate staging is paramount to unmask oligometastatic disease, as provided by prostate-specific membrane antigen-positron emission tomography. Driven by the results of prospective trials employing conventional and/or modern staging modalities, the treatment landscape of omPCa has rapidly evolved over the last years. Several treatment-related questions comprising the concept of precision strikes are under development. For example, beyond systemic therapy, cohort studies have found that cytoreductive radical prostatectomy (CRP) can confer a survival benefit in select patients with omPCa. More importantly, CRP has been consistently shown to improve long-term local symptoms when the tumor progresses across disease states due to resistance to systemic therapies. Metastasis-directed treatments have also emerged as a promising treatment option due to the visibility of oligometastatic disease and new technologies as well as treatment strategies to target the novel PCa colonies. Whether metastases are present at primary cancer diagnosis or detected upon biochemical recurrence after treatment with curative intent, targeted yet decisive elimination of disseminated tumor cell hotspots is thought to improve survival outcomes. One such strategy is salvage lymph node dissection in oligorecurrent PCa which can alter the natural history of progressive PCa. In this review, we will highlight how refinements in modern staging modalities change the classification and treatment of (oligo-)metastatic PCa. Further, we will also discuss the current role and future directions of precision surgery in omPCa.

Abstract
The standard of care for prostate cancer (PCa) is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Although hormone-sensitive PCa is curable by ADT, most conditions progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPCa) and metastatic CRPCa (mCRPCa). Front-line docetaxel has been administered to patients with CRPCa and mCRPCa. Nevertheless, docetaxel resistance after half a year of therapy has emerged as an urgent clinical concern in patients with CRPCa and mCRPCa. We verified the mechanism by which docetaxel-resistant PCa cells (DU/DX50) exhibited significant cell migration and expression of malignant tumor-related proteins. Our study shows that the biological activity of fucoidan has an important application for docetaxel-resistant PCa cells, inhibiting IL-1R by binding to P-selectin and reducing the expression levels of NF-κB p50 and Cox2 in this metastasis-inhibiting signaling pathway. Furthermore, the combined treatment of fucoidan and docetaxel showed significant anticancer and synergistic effects on the viability of DU/DX50 cells, which is relevant for overcoming the current limitations and improving treatment outcomes. Overall, fucoidan-based combination chemotherapy may exert beneficial effects and facilitate the treatment of docetaxel-resistant PCa.

Abstract
In the past 20 years, new insights into the genomic pathogenesis of prostate cancer have been provided. Large-scale integrative genomics approaches enabled researchers to characterize the genetic and epigenetic landscape of prostate cancer and to define different molecular subclasses based on the combination of genetic alterations, gene expression patterns and methylation profiles. Several molecular drivers of prostate cancer have been identified, some of which are different in men of different races. However, the extent to which genomics can explain racial disparities in prostate cancer outcomes is unclear. Future collaborative genomic studies overcoming the underrepresentation of non-white patients and other minority populations are essential.

Abstract
The most recent version of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Clinical Practice Guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of prostate cancer was published in 2020. It was therefore decided, by both the ESMO and the Singapore Society of Oncology (SSO), to convene a special, virtual guidelines meeting in November 2021 to adapt the ESMO 2020 guidelines to take into account the differences associated with the treatment of prostate cancer in Asia. These guidelines represent the consensus opinions reached by experts in the treatment of patients with prostate cancer representing the oncological societies of China (CSCO), India (ISMPO), Japan (JSMO), Korea (KSMO), Malaysia (MOS), Singapore (SSO) and Taiwan (TOS). The voting was based on scientific evidence and was independent of the current treatment practices and drug access restrictions in the different Asian countries. The latter were discussed when appropriate. The aim is to provide guidance for the optimisation and harmonisation of the management of patients with prostate cancer across the different regions of Asia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the correlation between PFS2 and OS among patients with advanced prostate cancer (PC) in a real-world setting for Japan. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis using the Japanese MDV database. Patients with nmCRPC (non-metastatic Castration-Resistant PC), mCRPC (metastatic Castration-Resistant PC), and mCNPC (metastatic Castration-Naïve PC) were identified and their medical records were investigated for PFS2 and death. Association between PFS2 and OS was determined using the Pearson's, Spearman's, Kendall's Tau, and Fleischers' correlation coefficients. RESULTS A total of 386,484 patients with PC were identified from the database, of which, 1,783 patients with nmCRPC, 630 with mCRPC, and 454 with mCNPC met the predefined eligibility criteria. Significant correlation between PFS2 and OS was observed in patients with nmCRPC (Pearson's r = 0.873; 95% CI: 0.849-0.897, Spearman's r = 0.909; 95% CI: 0.893-0.925; Kendall's Tau r = 0.831; 95% CI: 0.812-0.850, Fleischers' r = 0.682; 95% CI: 0.601-0.764), mCRPC (Pearson's r = 0.812; 95% CI: 0.758-0.865, Spearman's r = 0.895; 95% CI: 0.868-0.923, Kendall's Tau r = 0.789; 95% CI: 0.755-0.823, Fleischers' r= 0.439; 95% CI: 0.334-0.544), and mCNPC (Pearson's r = 0.931; 95% CI: 0.899-0.964, Spearman's r = 0.943; 95% CI: 0.922-0.964, Kendall's Tau r = 0.866; 95% CI: 0.836-0.896, Fleischers' r = 0.756; 95% CI: 0.624-0.888). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study indicate a significant correlation between PFS2 and OS, which adds additional evidence to the existing literature of using PFS2 as a surrogate endpoint for OS in patients with PC.

Abstract
Background Prostate cancer is the most common tumor in men worldwide, seriously threatening the health of older men, and 5-methylcytosine (m5C) RNA modification has been shown to have a significant impact on the development and progression of various tumors. However, as the most critical methyltransferase for m5c RNA modification, the role of the NSUN members (NSUN1-7) in prostate cancer is unclear. Methods We obtained sequencing data of genes and related clinical data of prostate cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and analyzed the correlation between NSUN members’ expression and prognosis. we found that NSUN2 was closely implicated in the prognosis of prostate cancer, then verified the expression of NSUN2 in clinical samples, and obtained the correlation between NSUN2 and immune cell infiltration through CIBERSORT algorithm and ESTIMATE method. The relationship between NSUN2 copy number variation and immune cell infiltration was further analyzed in the TIMER database and identified signaling pathways associated with NSUN2 expression by GO, KEGG, and GSEA analysis. Finally, we verified the expression of NSUN2 in prostate cancer cell lines and confirmed the role of NSUN2 on the biological behavior of prostate cancer cells by proliferation and migration-related assays. Results NOP2 and NSUN2 were upregulated in prostate tumor tissues. NSUN2 expression is closely associated with tumor prognosis. NSUN2 high expression implies poor clinical features, and the NSUN family is significantly associated with tumor stromal score and immune score. Besides, NSUN2 is associated with a variety of immune infiltrating cells (B cells memory, T cells CD4 memory resting, T cells CD4 memory activated, NK cells resting, and so on). High NSUN2 expression lowers the sensitivity of many chemotherapy drugs, such as docetaxel, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, cisplatin, and etoposide. In prostate cancer, the most common type of mutation in NSUN2 is amplification, and NSUN2 copy number variation is closely associated with NSUN2 expression and immune cell infiltration. GSEA analysis showed that the related genes were mainly enriched in ubiquitin-mediated protein hydrolysis, cell cycle, RNA degradation, endometrial cancer, prostate cancer, p53 signaling pathway, and NSUN2 potentiated the proliferation and migration of prostate cancer cells. Conclusions NSUN2 is highly expressed in prostate cancer, which contributes to the progression of prostate cancer, and is closely implicated in immune cell infiltration and chemotherapy drugs. NSUN2 is expected to be a prospective marker and a new treatment target for prostate cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This study was conducted in order to review the outcomes regarding polygenic risk score (PRS) in prediction of prostate cancer (PCa). With the increasing proficiency of genetic analysis, assessment of PRS for prediction of PCa has been performed in numerous studies. Genetic risk prediction models for PCa that include hundreds to thousands of independent risk-associated variants are under development. For estimation of additive effect of multiple variants, the number of risk alleles carried by an individual is summed, and each variant is weighted according to its estimated effect size for generation of a PRS. RECENT FINDINGS Currently, regarding the accuracy of PRS alone, PCa detection rate ranged from 0.56 to 0.67. A higher rate of accuracy of 0.866-0.880 was observed for other models combining PRS with established clinical markers. The results of PRS from Asian populations showed a level of accuracy that is somewhat low compared with values from Western populations (0.63-0.67); however, recent results from Asian cohorts were similar to that of Western counterparts. Here, we review current PRS literature and examine the clinical utility of PRS for prediction of PCa. SUMMARY Emerging data from several studies regarding PRS in PCa could be the solution to adding predictive value to PCa risk estimation. Although commercial markers are available, development of a large-scale, well validated PRS model should be undertaken in the near future, in order to translate hypothetical scenarios to actual clinical practice.

Enzalutamide Versus Abiraterone plus Prednisolone Before Chemotherapy for Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial. EUR UROL SUPPL 2022; 41:16-23. [PMID: 35813251 PMCID: PMC9257638 DOI: 10.1016/j.euros.2022.04.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Enzalutamide (ENZ) and abiraterone plus prednisolone (ABI) improve survival in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, which agent is better for patients with CRPC remains unclear. Objective To evaluate whether ENZ or ABI is better as first-line treatment for CRPC. Design, setting, and participants An investigator-initiated, multicenter, randomized controlled trial was conducted in Japan. The study enrolled 203 patients with CRPC before chemotherapy between February 20, 2015, and July 31, 2019. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to the ENZ or ABI arm. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis The primary endpoint was time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression. Secondary endpoints included the PSA response rate (≥50% decline from baseline), overall survival, and safety. A log-rank test was used for comparison of survival analyses between arms. Results and limitations After randomization, 92 patients in each arm were treated and analyzed. Time to PSA progression did not significantly differ between the arms (median 21.2 mo for ENZ and 11.9 mo for ABI; hazard ratio [HR] 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.51–1.27; p = 0.1732). There was a significant difference in the PSA response rate between the arms (72% for ENZ and 57% for ABI; p = 0.0425). There was no significant difference in overall survival (median 32.9 mo for ENZA and 35.5 mo for ABI; HR 1.17, 95% CI 0.72–1.88; p = 0.5290). Grade ≥3 adverse events were observed in 11% of patients in the ENZA arm and 21% in the ABI arm (p = 0.1044). Conclusions ENZ did not show any survival benefit in comparison to ABI, but showed a better PSA response rate with a low rate of severe adverse events in CRPC. Patient summary Results from our study suggest that use of enzalutamide before abiraterone may have potential clinical benefits for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Influence of response to prior docetaxel on sensitivity to cabazitaxel in prostate cancer patients with PTEN alterations. Cancer Sci 2022; 113:3161-3168. [PMID: 35754315 PMCID: PMC9459256 DOI: 10.1111/cas.15473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Revised: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate factors predicting the sensitivity to cabazitaxel therapy in metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients with phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted from chromosome 10 (PTEN) alterations. This single‐institution, retrospective study included 12 mCRPC patients with PTEN alterations who had received cabazitaxel therapy. Five patients (41%) responded to cabazitaxel therapy with a prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) level decline of ≥30% from baseline, and all of them had responded to prior docetaxel therapy with a PSA decline of ≥30%. None of the patients with a poor response to prior docetaxel therapy responded well to cabazitaxel therapy. Of the seven patients who did not respond to cabazitaxel and whose PSA declined from baseline was <30%, five (71%) were also refractory to prior docetaxel therapy. The PSA responses to docetaxel and cabazitaxel were significantly correlated (p = 0.027). Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed that progression‐free survival (PFS) for cabazitaxel was significantly shorter for prior docetaxel nonresponders (3.3 versus 9.1 months, p = 0.028). Multivariate analysis revealed that a poor response to prior docetaxel (PSA decline < 30%) (hazard ratio [HR] = 6.382, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.172–34.750, p = 0.032) and baseline PSA of ≥20 ng/ml (HR = 33.584, 95% CI 2.332–483.671, p = 0.010) were independent prognostic factors for PFS with cabazitaxel therapy. These results demonstrate cross‐resistance between docetaxel and cabazitaxel. The response to prior docetaxel therapy can influence the sensitivity to cabazitaxel therapy in mCRPC patients with PTEN alterations.

Abstract
Cancer arises following alterations at different cellular levels, including genetic and epigenetic modifications, transcription and translation dysregulation, as well as metabolic variations. High-throughput omics technologies that allow one to identify and quantify processes involved in these changes are now available and have been instrumental in generating a wealth of steadily increasing data from patient tumors, liquid biopsies, and from tumor models. Extensive investigation and integration of these data have led to new biological insights into the origin and development of multiple cancer types and helped to unravel the molecular networks underlying this complex pathology. The comprehensive and quantitative analysis of a molecule class in a biological sample is named omics and large-scale omics studies addressing different prostate cancer stages have been performed in recent years. Prostate tumors represent the second leading cancer type and a prevalent cause of cancer death in men worldwide. It is a very heterogenous disease so that evaluating inter- and intra-tumor differences will be essential for a precise insight into disease development and plasticity, but also for the development of personalized therapies. There is ample evidence for the key role of the androgen receptor, a steroid hormone-activated transcription factor, in driving early and late stages of the disease, and this led to the development and approval of drugs addressing diverse targets along this pathway. Early genomic and transcriptomic studies have allowed one to determine the genes involved in prostate cancer and regulated by androgen signaling or other tumor-relevant signaling pathways. More recently, they have been supplemented by epigenomic, cistromic, proteomic and metabolomic analyses, thus, increasing our knowledge on the intricate mechanisms involved, the various levels of regulation and their interplay. The comprehensive investigation of these omics approaches and their integration into multi-omics analyses have led to a much deeper understanding of the molecular pathways involved in prostate cancer progression, and in response and resistance to therapies. This brings the hope that novel vulnerabilities will be identified, that existing therapies will be more beneficial by targeting the patient population likely to respond best, and that bespoke treatments with increased efficacy will be available soon.

Abstract
PURPOSE Prostate cancer is one of the most heritable cancers and prostate cancer with germline mutations is associated with aggressive features and a poor prognosis. We investigated germline variants in unselected Korean men with prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we prospectively collected buccal swab DNA from 120 unselected Korean men with prostate cancer, and performed massively parallel sequencing. Identified germline variants were interpreted according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics/Association for Molecular Pathology 2015 guidelines. RESULTS Of the 120 patients, 30 had regional or metastatic disease and 10, 34, 25, and 21 patients were categorized as having low, intermediate, high, or very high-risk disease, respectively. Of the 88 germline variants, 6 pathologic or likely pathogenic variants were identified in 7 patients (5.8%) with BRCA2 (1.7%), HOXB13 (1.7%), PALB2 (0.8%), ATM (0.8%), and MSH2 (0.8%). Of 7 patients, 2 possessed intermediate risk disease that was not included in the recommendation for genetic testing. We identified the Gly132Glu variant, which was different from the Gly84Glu variant of the HOXB13 gene in Western populations. CONCLUSIONS This study presents the first analysis of germline variants in unselected Korean men with prostate cancer. Our results showed comparable germline prevalence with previous studies and provides evidence for the necessity of genetic testing in Korean men with prostate cancer.

World J Clin Cases 2022; 10:3461-3471. [PMID: 35611209 PMCID: PMC9048572 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v10.i11.3461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2020] [Revised: 10/12/2021] [Accepted: 02/27/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor olaparib has displayed superior clinical effect in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients with the homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes mutations. However, when a patient’s tumor tissue volume is insufficient for genomic profiling of HRR gene mutations, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) may be useful in helping to determine and monitor the efficacy of olaparib, as well as in abiraterone-combination treatment, and for understanding any resistance mechanism related to such mutations.
CASE SUMMARY A 61-year-old man who was diagnosed with metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma was initially hormone sensitivity, showing high Gleason score (5 + 5 = 10) and absolute positive rate (14/14 biopsied specimens). Following failure of several standard therapies, the patient progressed to mCRPC. Surprisingly, the patient showed good response to olaparib-abiraterone-prednisone combination treatment (an androgen-deprivation therapy, provided as the ‘final choice’ in China). Serum total prostate-specific antigen (TPSA) level reduced and symptoms remitted for 4 months. However, thereafter, serum TPSA levels began slowly increasing, indicating development of olaparib resistance. Subsequent comprehensive genomic profiling of ctDNA, screening 508 cancer-related genes by next-generation sequencing, identified 10 somatic variants as well as 3 copy number alterations. Two identified reverse missense mutations in partner and localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) may have recovered the reading frame, restoring function of the primary germline PALB2 mutation and causing resistance to the PARP inhibitor olaparib.
CONCLUSION Reverse mutations in PALB2, discovered via genomic profiling of ctDNA, may represent a potential resistance mechanism against olaparib in mCRPC.

Abstract
N6-methyladenine (m6A) is the most predominant RNA modification, which has been shown to be related to many types of cancers. However, understanding of its role in prostate cancer (PCa) is largely unknown. Here, we report an upregulation of METTL14 that was correlated with poor prognosis in PCa patients. Functionally, knocking down METTL14 inhibited tumor proliferation both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanically, RNA-seq and MeRIP-seq analyses identified THBS1 as the downstream target of METTL14 in PCa. METTL14 downregulated THBS1 expression in an m6A-dependent manner, which resulted in the recruitment of YTHDF2 to recognize and degrade Thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) mRNA. Thus, our findings revealed that METTL14 acted as an oncogene by inhibiting THBS1 expression via an m6A-YTHDF2-dependent manner. METTL14 could be a potential prognosis marker and a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Background Adopted the competing-risk model to investigate the relevant factors affecting the prostate cancer (PCa)-specific mortality among Asian-American PCa patients based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Methods The information of 26,293 Asian-American patients diagnosed with PCa between 2004 and 2015 were extracted from the SEER 18 database. Subjects were divided into three groups: died of PCa, died of other causes, survival based on the outcomes at the end of 155 months’ follow-up. Multivariate analysis was performed by the Fine-gray proportional model. Meanwhile, subgroup analyses were conducted risk stratification by race and age. Results Age ≥ 65 years [Hazard ratio (HR) = 1.509, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.299–1.754], race (HR = 1.220, 95% CI 1.028–1.448), marital status (unmarried, single or widowed, HR = 1.264, 95% CI 1.098–1.454), tumor grade II (HR = 3.520, 95% CI 2.915–4.250), the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage (T3: HR = 1.597, 95% CI 1.286–1.984; T4: HR = 2.446, 95% CI 1.796–3.331; N1: HR = 1.504, 95% CI 1.176–1.924; M1: HR = 9.875, 95% CI 8.204–11.887) at diagnosis, radiotherapy (HR = 1.892, 95% CI 1.365–2.623), regional nodes positive (HR = 2.498, 95% CI 1.906–3.274) increased risk of PCa-specific mortality for Asian-American PCa patients, while surgical (HR = 0.716, 95% CI 0.586–0.874) reduced the risk. Conclusion The study findings showed that age, race, marital status, tumor grade (II), AJCC stages (T3, T4, N1, M1) at diagnosis, radiotherapy, regional nodes positive and surgery was associated with the specific mortality of PCa patients among Asian-Americans.

Abstract
Purpose There is increasing evidence for convincing efficacy and safety of 177Lu-labled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy (PRLT) for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). However, data are not available regarding the feasibility of 177Lu-labled PSMA-targeted RLT in East Asians. The present study summarized the first experience with 177Lu-PSMA-I&T therapy for mCRPC in China. Methods Forty consecutive patients with mCRPC were enrolled from December 2019 to September 2021. Eligible patients received 177Lu-PSMA-I&T RLT at intervals of 8-12 weeks. Toxicity was assessed based on standardized physicians’ reports and the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events criteria. Response to PRLT was evaluated according to the changes of prostate specific antigen (PSA) response and imaging response. Quality of life (QOL), Karnofsky performance status (KPS) and pain (visual analogue scale, VAS) were also evaluated. The impacts of baseline parameters on the therapeutic effects were explored by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results All patients underwent a total of 86 cycles of 177Lu-PSMA-I&T (range: 1-5 cycles) with dosages of 3.70-14.43GBq per cycle, with a median of 8 months followed up. Six patients (15%) developed mild reversible xerostomia during follow-up, and 28 patients (70%) experienced grade 1-4 bone marrow dysfunction. Changes in PSA were assessed after therapy, accompanied by the partial response (PR) in 25 patients (62.5%), the stable disease (SD) in 5 patients (12.5%), and the progressive disease (PD) in 10 patients (25%), respectively. QOL, KPS (%) and VAS scores were improved significantly due to treatment (P<0.05). Overweight and elevated AST, ALP, and LDH were associated with poor outcomes. Conclusions 177Lu-PSMA-I&T achieves the favourable response and well tolerance in mCRPC, which associates with not only PSA decline but also with tumor remission including lymphadenopathy and bone metastasis. We also find that patients with overweight and high AST, ALP, and LDH should be cautious to undergo the PRLT. Large-cohort studies are warranted to confirm the initial findings and elucidate the survival benefit of the treatment.

Abstract
AimsTo evaluate current status of prostate cancer incidence and mortality worldwide, and compare the global trends of incidence and mortality in the past two decades and in the most recent period.MethodsData on the incidence and mortality of prostate cancer for 174 countries in 2020 were obtained from the GLOBOCAN 2020 database, and associations with the human development index (HDI) were evaluated. Data for trend analyses in 89 countries from 2000 to 2019 were retrieved from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 platform. Age standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and mortality rate (ASMR) were calculated by using the Segi's population. The average annual percent changes (AAPC) of ASIRs and ASMRs were evaluated by joinpoint regression analysis.ResultsA total of 1 414 259 new cases of prostate cancer and 375 304 related deaths were reported in 2020 globally. HDI was positively correlated with ASIRs (P < 0.001) and negatively correlated with ASMRs (P < 0.001). In the past two decades, ASIRs have been increasing in 65 countries, stable in 15 countries and decreasing in 9 countries, and ASMRs have been increasing in 19 countries, stable in 25 countries and decreasing in 45 countries, respectively. In the most recent period, 44 countries have increasing ASIRs, and 32 countries have decreasing ASMRs, respectively. For instance, in the United States of America, the AAPC of ASIRs significantly decreased by 0.62% and ASMRs significantly decreased by 1.22% from 2000 to 2019, while the AAPC from 2015 to 2019 significantly increased by 0.49% for ASIRs and significantly increased by 0.48% for ASMRs.ConclusionThe magnitude of increasing incidence and decreasing mortality of prostate cancer is attenuated in the recent period. Further study is needed to analyze the absolute effect of risk factors, PSA screening and treatment.

Abstract
AIM Mutation occurs in the prostate cell genes, leading to abnormal prostate proliferation and ultimately cancer. Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most common cancers amongst men, and its prevalence worldwide increases relative to men's age. About 16% of the world's cancers are the result of microbes in the human body. Impaired population balance of symbiosis microbes in the human reproductive system is linked to PC development. DISCUSSION With the advent of metagenomics science, the genome sequence of the microbiota of the human body has been unveiled. Therefore, it is now possible to identify a higher range of microbiome changes in PC tissue via the Next Generation Technique, which will have positive consequences in personalized medicine. In this review, we intend to question the role of metagenomics studies in the diagnosis and treatment of PC. CONCLUSION The microbial imbalance in the men's genital tract might have an effect on prostate health. Based on next-generation sequencing-generated data, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Bacteriodetes are the nine frequent phyla detected in a PC sample, which might be involved in inducing mutation in the prostate cells that cause cancer.

Ethnic Pharmacogenomic Differences in the Management of Asian Patients with Metastatic Prostate Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14020407. [PMID: 35053569 PMCID: PMC8773846 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14020407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Progression to metastatic disease occurs in about half of all men who develop prostate cancer (PC), one of the most common cancers in men worldwide. Androgen deprivation therapy has been the mainstay therapy for patients with metastatic PC (mPC) since the 1940s. In the last decade, there has been unprecedented advancement in systemic therapies, e.g., taxane, androgen-signalling pathway inhibitors, and biomarker-driven targeted therapies for various stages of disease, resulting in overall survival improvement. Adding to ongoing controversies over how best to treat these patients is the recognition that ethnicity may influence prognosis and outcomes. This review discusses recent evidence for the impacts of Asian ethnicity specifically, which includes environmental, sociocultural, and genetic factors, on the approach to pharmacological management of mPC. Clear inter-ethnic differences in drug tolerability, serious adverse events (AEs), and genetic heterogeneity must all be considered when dosing and scheduling for treatment, as well as designing future precision studies in PC.

Investig Clin Urol 2022; 63:42-52. [PMID: 34983122 PMCID: PMC8756152 DOI: 10.4111/icu.20210305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2021] [Revised: 09/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To develop and evaluate the performance of a polygenic risk score (PRS) constructed in a Korean male population to predict clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). Materials and Methods Total 2,702 PCa samples and 7,485 controls were used to discover csPCa susceptible single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Males with biopsy-proven or post-radical prostatectomy Gleason score 7 or higher were included for analysis. After genotype imputation for quality control, logistic regression models were applied to test association and calculate effect size. Extracted candidate SNPs were further tested to compare predictive performance according to number of SNPs included in the PRS. The best-fit model was validated in an independent cohort of 311 cases and 822 controls. Results Of the 83 candidate SNPs with significant PCa association reported in previous literature, rs72725879 located in PRNCR1 showed the highest significance for PCa risk (odds ratio, 0.597; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.555–0.641; p=4.3×10-45). Thirty-two SNPs within 26 distinct loci were further selected for PRS construction. Best performance was found with the top 29 SNPs, with AUC found to be 0.700 (95% CI, 0.667–0.734). Males with very-high PRS (above the 95th percentile) had a 4.92-fold increased risk for csPCa. Conclusions Ethnic-specific PRS was developed and validated in Korean males to predict csPCa susceptibility using the largest csPCa sample size in Asia. PRS can be a potential biomarker to predict individual risk. Future multi-ethnic trials are required to further validate our results.
