MicroRNAs

4.2K
MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns (non-coding regions of a gene) or intergenic regions (stretches of DNA present between genes). Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself, forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After the pre-miRNA...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

5.0K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

MAPK Signaling Cascades01:07

MAPK Signaling Cascades

9.1K
Mitogen-activated protein kinase, or MAPK pathway, activates three sequential kinases to regulate cellular responses such as proliferation, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. The canonical MAPK pathway starts with a mitogen or growth factor binding to an RTK. The activated RTKs stimulate Ras, which recruits Raf or MAP3 Kinase (MAPKKK), the first kinase of the MAPK signaling cascade. Raf further phosphorylates and activates MEK or MAP2 Kinases (MAPKK), which in turn phosphorylates MAP...

Receptor Downregulation in MVBs01:15

Receptor Downregulation in MVBs

3.0K
Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are mature endosomes that sort ubiquitinated proteins and then fuse with lysosomes to degrade the sorted proteins. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR) form a complex that can be internalized through endocytosis, sorted into an MVB, and later degraded.
The EGFR can initiate signaling pathways that  lead to cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Overexpression of EGFR  stimulates cells to proliferate. Excessive  EGFR...

Summary

High SRC kinase levels correlate with low androgen receptor (AR) activity in prostate cancer (PCa). Activated AR induces miR-203, which suppresses SRC, suggesting a pathway to control PCa metastasis.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • SRC kinase is crucial in development and tumor progression.
  • An inverse relationship exists between androgen receptor (AR) activity and SRC signaling in advanced prostate cancer (PCa).
  • The specific mechanisms of AR/SRC crosstalk in metastatic PCa remain unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between AR, SRC, and microRNA-203 (miR-203) in prostate cancer progression.
  • To elucidate the role of miR-203 in regulating SRC expression and its impact on AR signaling.
  • To determine the clinical relevance of the AR-miR-203-SRC axis in metastatic PCa.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of SRC levels and AR gene signatures in patient data.
  • In vitro studies using PCa model systems to examine AR activation, miR-203 induction, and SRC regulation.
  • Luciferase assays to confirm direct binding of miR-203 to SRC 3' UTR.
  • Validation of findings in clinical datasets and patient specimens.

Main Results:

  • Patients with high SRC levels showed reduced canonical AR gene signatures.
  • Activated AR induced miR-203, leading to decreased SRC levels in PCa models.
  • miR-203 directly targets SRC mRNA, regulating its stability upon AR activation.
  • Prostate cancer cell migration and growth correlated with decreased miR-203 and increased SRC.

Conclusions:

  • SRC induction promotes PCa metastasis by disrupting AR signaling via miR-203 inactivation.
  • The AR-miR-203-SRC axis represents a critical regulatory pathway in prostate cancer.
  • Targeting this pathway may offer therapeutic strategies for metastatic PCa.
