Article Abstract
RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) readers mediate cancer progression. However, the functional role and potential mechanisms of the m6A readers in prostate cancer tumorigenicity remain to be elucidated. In this study, we demonstrate that YTHDF3 expression is elevated in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and positively correlated to high grade, bone metastasis and poor survival. YTHDF3 expression promoted CRPC cell proliferation, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and tumour progression. Mechanistically, YTHDF3 promoted the RNA degradation of SPOP and NXK3.1 but stabilized RNA expressions of TWIST1 and SNAI2 dependent on m6A to facilitate cell proliferation and EMT. Additionally, YTHDF3 expression enhanced AKT activity via degrading SPOP in an m6A-dependent manner. Importantly, we found that melatonin can compete with m6A to occupy the m6A-binding cage of YTHDF3, leading to inhibition of YTHFD3 and its target expressions as well as CRPC tumour growth. Our findings uncover an essential role of YTHDF3 in the progression of CRPC and highlight the role of melatonin in anti-CRPC activity.

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies in males worldwide. Serum prostate-specific antigen is a frequently employed biomarker in the diagnosis and risk stratification of prostate cancer; however, it is known for its low predictive accuracy for disease progression. New prognostic biomarkers are needed to distinguish aggressive prostate cancer from low-risk disease.

Aims: We aimed to analyze CD63, a cell surface protein that has been associated with tumor aggressiveness in several cancers, including breast, colorectal, and lung cancer, as well as melanoma, in prostate cancer.
Methods: CD63 expression was analyzed immunohistochemically in a cohort of primary prostate cancers from 281 patients. The results were correlated with clinico-pathologic parameters, including biochemical recurrence.

Objectives: To identify immunosuppressive neutrophil subsets in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) and construct a risk prediction model for prognosis and immunotherapy response of the patients based on these neutrophil subsets.
Methods: Single-cell and transcriptome data from PCa patients were collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Neutrophil subsets in PCa were identified through unsupervised clustering, and their biological functions and effects on immune regulation were analyzed by functional enrichment, cell interaction, and pseudo-time series analyses.

Phospholipids play a crucial role in various aspects of cancer biology, including tumor progression, metastasis, and cell survival. Recent studies have highlighted the signifi-cance of phospholipid metabolism and signaling in multiple cancer types, such as breast, cer-vical, prostate, bladder, colorectal, liver, lung, melanoma, mesothelioma, and oral cancer. Al-terations in phospholipid profiles, particularly in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethan-olamine, have been identified as potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Objectives: Bortezomib (BTZ) functions as an androgen receptor signalling inhibitor, is used for the treatment of prostate cancer, and has been sanctioned by the United States Food and Drug Administration. The medicinal applications of BTZ are impeded by low solubility, first-pass metabolism, and restricted bioavailability. This study aimed to develop and enhance polylactic acid-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanobubbles (NBs) as a sustained-release mechanism for BTZ, thereby augmenting stability and bioavailability.
