Identification of Genes Promoting Resistance to Enzalutamide
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In 2012, the US Food and Drug Administration approved enzalutamide (Xtandi) for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have previously received docetaxel. In most patients, enzalutamide halts progression of the disease for a short period of time, but patients usually relapse, which is associated with poor prognosis. Identifying the genes and pathways that the cancer cells use to overcome enzalutamide are of interest, because new interventions aimed at preventing relapse after enzalutamide therapy would have therapeutic value to late-stage prostate cancer patients. In this study, we took advantage of RNA interference techniques and an in vitro model of castration-resistant prostate cancer cells to identify genes that drive resistance to enzalutamide.
