209 Background: Enzalutamide (ENZ) was approved to prolong survival for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients before and after chemotherapy. No factor was identified to predict the effectiveness of ENZ so far. .Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) was newly recognized on 2017 EAU guideline and considering as a poor prognostic factor、although there has been no reports to predict the therapeutic effects of ENZ according to the presence of IDC-P. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of ENZ for CRPC patients with or without IDC-P. Methods: We retrospectively identified 199 CRPC patients treated with ENZ from 2014 to 2018 in author-affiliated hospitals. All needle biopsy slides were reviewed by a single genitourinary pathologist and IDC-P was defined according to the criteria of McNeal at initial biopsy. Endpoint is overall survival (OS) from the time of CRPC diagnosis and time to treatment failure of ENZ. PSA response is defined as over 50% PSA decline from baseline. Results: The median patient age was 71 (range, 49–90) years. The median initial PSA was 154 ng/ml (range, 3.9–24736 ng/ml). The patients who received docetaxel were 42/199 (21%). IDC-P was detected in 98 patients (49%) at initial prostate biopsy. PSA response was 70.5% in patients without IDC-P and 53.9% in patients with IDC-P. The median OS from the time of CRPC was 37.9 and 71.5 months with and without IDC-P, respectively (P=0.013). There was no significant difference on OS in CRPC patients with IDC-P between before and after docetaxel (P=0.941). Same result was observed in CRPC patients without IDC-P (P=0.86). In time to treatment failure by ENZ, patients with IDC-P showed worse prognosis than patients without IDC-P after docetaxel (P=0.068). On the other hand, the difference disappeared before docetaxel regardless the presence of IDC-P (P=0.94). Conclusions: IDC-P is a poor prognostic factor for CRPC patients treated with ENZ. ENZ may be most effective for CRPC patients with IDC-P before chemotherapy.

Introduction: Prostate cancer has a high incidence in men and is the second cause of cancer death among americans male. microRNA (miR) is becoming a potential new prognostic factor for prostate cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are common polymorphisms, characterized by a single exchange of nitrogen based in the DNA. This polymorphism is present in the miRs, altering their function. Objective: To evaluate the role of SNP rs1834306 of miR100 and rs2910164 of miR146a in the development and prognosis of prostate cancer. Methods: One hundred patients diagnosed with prostate cancer and 68 controls were selected. The identification of SNP was rated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction from blood samples, and the analysis was performed within the presence of SNP and the prognostic variables. Results: In the SNP rs1834306 (miR100), a smaller presence of the polymorphic homozygous genotype was identified in patients with PSA >10 ng/mL, ( P=0.03); when evaluating only the presence of the polymorphic allele G ( P=0.09) it was compared to the presence of the wild type allele A. Among the patients with prostate cancer, SNP rs2910164 (miR146A), the polymorphic allele was more frequent in patients with a Gleason score ⩾7 than in patients with a Gleason score <7, ( P=0.043). In patients with prostate cancer, miR100 was overexpressed in those with pT3 staging compared to pT2 and among those who had biochemical recurrence ( P = 0.004 and P = 0.011, respectively). Conclusions: SNP of miR146a acts as a poor prognostic factor (Gleason ⩾7), and the SNP of miR100 is linked to better prognostic data (PSA <10). MiR100 was overexpressed in prostate cancer with worse prognostic factors.

The androgen receptor (AR) plays a critical role in the development and the progression of prostate cancer. Alterations in theexpression of AR coregulators lead to AR hypersensitivity, which is one of the mechanisms underlying the progression ofprostate cancer into a castrate-resistant state. Octamer transcription factor 1 (Oct1) is a ubiquitous member of the POUhomeodomainfamily that functions as a coregulator of AR. In our study, the contribution of Oct1 to prostate cancerdevelopment was examined. Immunocytochemistry analysis showed that Oct1 is expressed in the nuclei of LNCaP cells.siRNA-mediated silencing of Oct1 expression inhibited LNCaP cell proliferation. Immunohistochemical analysis of Oct1expression in tumor specimens obtained from 102 patients with prostate cancer showed a positive correlation of Oct1immunoreactivity with a high Gleason score and AR immunoreactivity (p 5 0.0042 and p &lt; 0.0001, respectively). Moreover,patients with high immunoreactivity of Oct1 showed a low cancer-specific survival rate, and those patients with highimmunoreactivities of both Oct1 and AR exhibited poorer cancer-specific prognosis. Multivariate hazard analysis revealed asignificant correlation between high Oct1 immunoreactivity and poor cancer-specific survival (p 5 0.012). These resultsdemonstrate that Oct1 can be a prognostic factor in prostate cancer as a coregulator of AR and may lead to the developmentof a new therapeutic intervention for prostate cancer.

Urothelial bladder cancer (BCa) is the ninth most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and accounts for approximately 3% of global cancer diagnoses. We are interested in prognostic markers that may characterize tumor cells (TCs) and immune cells (ICs) and their relationship in BCa. A potential candidate marker that meets these criteria is progranulin (GP88), which is expressed separately in TCs and ICs. We analyzed GP88 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 196 muscle-invasive BCa samples using a tissue microarray. The immunoreactive score for GP88 staining in TCs and the percentage of GP88-positive ICs was determined. An easy cutoff for the staining status of TCs (positive vs. negative) and ICs (0% vs. >0%) and, more generally, negative vs. positive GP88 staining could be applied. We detected 93 patients (47.4%) and 92 patients (46.9%) with GP88-positive TCs or ICs, respectively. The IHC results were correlated with clinicopathological and survival data. Positive GP88 staining in TCs appeared to be an independent poor prognostic factor for disease-specific survival (DSS) (RR (relative risk) = 1.74; p = 0.009) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) (RR = 1.92; p = 0.002). In contrast, negative GP88 staining in ICs was an independent negative predictor for overall survival (OS) (RR = 2.18; p < 0.001), DSS (RR = 2.84; p < 0.001) and RFS (RR = 2.91; p < 0.001) in multivariate Cox’s regression analysis. When combining GP88 staining in TCs and ICs, a specific combination of GP88-positive TCs and GP88-negative ICs was associated with a 2.54-fold increased risk of death, a 4.21-fold increased risk of disease-specific death and a 4.81-fold increased risk of recurrence compared to GP88-negative TCs and GP88-positive ICs. In summary, GP88 positivity in TCs is a negative prognostic factor for DSS and RFS. In addition, GP88 positivity can mark ICs that are associated with a good prognosis (OS, DSS and RFS). The combination of GP88 staining in TCs and ICs appears to be a significant independent prognostic biomarker in muscle-invasive BCa.
