Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignanciesin the world. There is abundant evidence thatandrogens influence the development and progressionof prostate cancer [1–3]. Since most of prostate cancer isandrogen-dependent, standard treatment for metastaticprostate cancer patients is androgen deprivationtherapy (ADT). However the beneficial effects of ADTare transient and prostate cancer progresses to recurrentcancer. Recent reports showed that levels oftestosterone and its metabolites, dihydrotestosterone(DHT) and androstenediol, were still sufficiently highto activate the androgen receptor in recurrent prostate

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer, causing morbidity and mortality among men world-wide. The expression of the androgen receptor (AR) and its splice variants is a crucial factor of prostate cancer biology that has not been comprehensively studied in PCa tumors. The aim of this study was to characterize the protein expression of the AR and its splice variant, AR-V7, and their subcellular distributions in PCa by immunohistochemistry and to correlate the results to the clinicopathological data and prognosis. Immunohistochemical staining for AR and AR-V7 was performed on a tissue microarray (TMA) with specimens from 410 PCa patients using an immunoreactive score (IRS) or only the percentage of AR-V7 staining in cytoplasmic granules. Nuclear or cytoplasmic AR staining was not associated with prognosis. AR-V7 staining was only occasionally observed in the nucleus. However, AR-V7 staining in the cytoplasm or in cytoplasmic granules was associated with relapse-free survival (RFS). AR-V7 staining of the cytoplasm was associated with a shorter RFS, whereas AR-V7 staining of cytoplasmic granules was associated with a longer RFS. In a multivariate Cox’s regression analysis, only negative (<5%) AR-V7 staining of cytoplasmic granules remained an independent prognostic factor for RFS (HR = 5.3; p = 0.006). In a further subgroup analysis by multivariate Cox’s regression analysis, AR-V7 was an independent prognostic factor in the following groups: age ≤ 65 (HR = 9.7; p = 0.029), negative CK20 staining (HR = 7.0; p = 0.008), and positive perineural invasion (HR = 3.7; p = 0.034). Altogether, AR-V7 protein in granular cytoplasmic structures is an independent prognostic factor for RFS in PCa patients.

Aim: To evaluate the influence of YB-1 rs10493112 variant as a genetic marker for response to second-generation androgen receptor axis-target agents. Methods: A hospital-based cohort study of 78 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer was conducted. Genotyping was performed by TaqMan® allelic discrimination technology. Main results: In abiraterone-treated and high-risk patients, YB-1 rs10493112 AA genotype carriers showed lower progression-free survival than C allele genotype patients (4 vs 17 months; p = 0.009). For carriers of AA genotype, multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed a fivefold increased risk of progression (p = 0.035). Conclusion: The study findings suggest that, for metastatic and castration-resistant prostate cancer patients, this polymorphism might be a putative marker for the clinical outcome.
