Abstract
Aneuploidy is widely identified as a remarkable feature of malignancy genomes. Increasing evidences suggested aneuploidy was involved in the progression and metastasis of prostate cancer (PCa). Nevertheless, no comprehensive analysis was conducted in PCa about the effects of aneuploidy on different omics and, especially, about the driver genes of aneuploidy. Here, we validated the association of aneuploidy with the progression and prognosis of PCa and performed a systematic analysis in mutation profile, methylation profile, and gene expression profile, which detailed the molecular process aneuploidy implicated. By multi-omics analysis, we managed to identify 11 potential aneuploidy driver genes (GSTM2, HAAO, C2orf88, CYP27A1, FAXDC2, HFE, C8orf88, GSTP1, EFS, HIF3A, and WFDC2), all of which were related to the development and metastasis of PCa. Meanwhile, we also found aneuploidy and its driver genes were correlated with the immune microenvironment of PCa. Our findings could shed light on the tumorigenesis of PCa and provide a better understanding of the development and metastasis of PCa; additionally, the driver genes could be promising and actionable therapeutic targets pointing to aneuploidy.

Abstract
All men, almost, suffer from prostatic disorders in average life expectancy. In the year of 1950s, the first autopsy of prostate gland discovered the link between Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and Prostate Cancer (PCa). After that, many histology, biochemistry, epidemiology studies explained the association and associated risk factor for the same. From the various scientific evidence, it is proved that both diseases share some common transcription factors and signalling pathways. Still, BPH cannot be considered as the first step of PCa progression. To define, the relationship between both of the diseases, a well-defined large epidemiological study is needed. Along with androgen signalling, imbalanced apoptosis, oxidative stress, and microbial infection also crucial factors that significantly affect the pathogenesis of BPH. Various signalling pathways are involved in the progression of BPH. Androgen signalling is the driving force for the progress of PCa. In PCa androgen signalling is upregulated as compared to a healthy prostate. Some dominant Androgen-regulated genes and their functions have been discussed in this work.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy among men, and the progression of this disease results in fewer treatment options available to clinical patients. It highlights the vital necessity for discovering novel therapeutic approaches and expanding the current understanding of molecular mechanisms. Epigenetic alternations such as DNA methylation models and histone modifications have been associated as key drivers in the development and advancement of PCa. Several studies have been conducted and demonstrated that targeting these epigenetic enzymes or regulatory proteins has been strongly associated with the regulation of cancer cell growth. Due to the success rate of these therapeutic routes in pre-clinical settings, many drugs have now advanced to clinical testing, where efficacy will be measured. This review will discuss the role of epigenetic modifications in PCa development and its function in the progression of the disease to resistant forms and introduce therapeutic strategies that have demonstrated successful results as PCa treatment.
