Aims: To determine the role of lamin B1 (LMNB1) in the progression and metastasis of primary prostate cancer (PC). Patients & methods: Two PC cohorts were used to investigate the clinical relationship between LMNB1 expression and tumor progression and metastasis. Results: The qRT-PCR results revealed that LMNB1 expression was markedly increased in patients with aggressive features and was associated with worse prognosis. Logistic regression analyses indicated that LMNB1 expression is an independent risk factor for distant metastasis. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that increased LMNB1 levels were related to poor disease-free survival in the primary PC cohort. Conclusion: This study reveals that upregulation of LMNB1 is associated with cancer metastasis and poor survival outcomes in primary PC patients.

Emerging evidence has revealed a relationship between lamin B1 (LMNB1) and several cancers such as cervical cancer, liver cancer, and prostate cancer. But no systematic pan-cancer analysis is available. Little is known about the clinical significance and biomarker utility of LMNB1. In this study, we first revealed the key role of LMNB1 in esophageal carcinoma (ESCA) through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and disease-free survival (DFS) analysis. Based on this result and the datasets of the cancer genome atlas (TCGA), we explored the biomarker utility of LMNB1 across thirty-three tumors. We found that LMNB1 was highly expressed in most of the cancers and significant associations existed between LMNB1 expression and prognosis of cases of nearly half of the cancers. We also found that LMNB1 expression was associated with the infiltration level of Macrophages M1 and T cells CD4 memory activated in some cancers. Moreover, LMNB1 was mainly involved in the functional mechanisms of MRNA binding, olfactory transduction, and gene silencing. Our study first provides a pan-cancer study of LMNB1, thereby offering a relatively comprehensive understanding of the biomarker utility of LMNB1 across thirty-three tumors.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in American men. Genetics and age play a role in its development. Notch signaling pathway proteins are known to play critical roles in maintaining the balance between cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis, and thus it has been suggested that Notch may be responsible for the development and progression of human malignancies. The aim of this study is investigated the mechanistic role of Notch 3 with the chemotherapy response of patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa). A total of 772 patients with clinically localized PCa, confirmed by biopsy. Biochemical recurrence-free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS) were assessed with Kaplan-Meier curves. Various histopathological parameters were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. Our results demonstrate that a high Notch 3 expression in prostate tumor represented a significantly higher possibility of being resistant to chemotherapy and reduced OS. Also, patients with high Notch 3 expression had a poorer prognosis than those with low Notch 3 expression. Further, in vitro studies showed that Notch 3 inhibition the proliferation, migration of invasiveness of prostate cancer. Consequently, we propose that Notch 3 protein is an important event that enhances tumor angiogenesis in human prostate cancer cells.

Aim: This study aimed to develop an effective risk predictor for patients with stage II and III colorectal cancer (CRC). Materials & methods: The prognostic value of p-mTOR (Ser2448) levels was analyzed using Kaplan–Meier survival analysis and Cox regression analysis. Results: The levels of p-mTOR were increased in CRC specimens and significantly correlated with poor prognosis in patients with stage II and III CRC. Notably, the p-mTOR level was an independent poor prognostic factor for disease-free survival and overall survival in stage II CRC. Conclusion: Aberrant mTOR activation was significantly associated with the risk of recurrence or death in patients with stage II and III CRC, thus this activated proteins that may serve as a potential biomarker for high-risk CRC.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most diagnosed malignancy and the fifth leading cause of cancer associated death in men worldwide. Dysregulation of cellular energetics has become a hallmark of cancer, evidenced by numerous connections between signaling pathways that include oncoproteins and key metabolic enzymes. We previously showed that heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), a cellular homeostatic regulator counteracting oxidative and inflammatory damage, exhibits anti-tumoral activity in PCa cells, inhibiting cell proliferation, migration, tumor growth and angiogenesis. The aim of this study was to assess the role of HO-1 on the metabolic signature of PCa. After HO-1 pharmacological induction with hemin, PC3 and C4-2B cells exhibited a significantly impaired cellular metabolic rate, reflected by glucose uptake, ATP production, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and extracellular lactate levels. Further, we undertook a bioinformatics approach to assess the clinical significance of LDHA, LDHB and HMOX1 in PCa, identifying that high LDHA or low LDHB expression was associated with reduced relapse free survival (RFS). Interestingly, the shortest RFS was observed for PCa patients with low HMOX1 and high LDHA, while an improved prognosis was observed for those with high HMOX1 and LDHB. Thus, HO-1 induction causes a shift in the cellular metabolic profile of PCa, leading to a less aggressive phenotype of the disease.

Mesenchymal Transition

Prostate cancer, the second most common malignancy in men, is characterized by high heterogeneity that poses several therapeutic challenges. Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a dynamic, reversible cellular process which is essential in normal embryonic morphogenesis and wound healing. However, the cellular changes that are induced by EMT suggest that it may also play a central role in tumor progression, invasion, metastasis, and resistance to current therapeutic options. These changes include enhanced motility and loss of cell–cell adhesion that form a more aggressive cellular phenotype. Moreover, the reverse process (MET) is a necessary element of the metastatic tumor process. It is highly probable that this cell plasticity reflects a hybrid state between epithelial and mesenchymal status. In this review, we describe the underlying key mechanisms of the EMT-induced phenotype modulation that contribute to prostate tumor aggressiveness and cancer therapy resistance, in an effort to provide a framework of this complex cellular process.
