Although docetaxel chemotherapy has been used for more than fifteen years to treat metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, the high inter-individual variability of treatment efficacy and toxicity is still not well understood. Since prostate cancer has a high heritability, inherited biomarkers of the genomic signature may be appropriate tools to guide treatment. In this review, we provide an extensive overview and discuss the current state of the art of pharmacogenomic biomarkers modulating docetaxel treatment of prostate cancer. This includes (1) research studies with a focus on germline genomic biomarkers, (2) clinical trials including a range of genetic signatures, and (3) their implementation in treatment guidelines. -

Cell Death and Disease (2020) 11:987 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-020-03189-z Cell Death & Disease REVIEW ARTICLE Open Access Exosomes and breast cancer drug resistance Xingli Dong1,2, Xupeng Bai 2,3,JieNi2,3,HaoZhang 4,WeiDuan5, Peter Graham2,3 andYongLi 2,3,6 Abstract Drug resistance is a daunting challenge in the treatment of breast cancer (BC). Exosomes, as intercellular communicative vectors in the tumor microenvironment, play an important role in BC progression. With the in-depth understanding of tumor heterogeneity, an emerging role of exosomes in drug resistance has attracted extensive attention. The functional proteins or non-coding RNAs contained in exosomes secreted from tumor and stromal cells mediate drug resistance by regulating drug efflux and metabolism, pro-survival signaling, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, stem-like property, and tumor microenvironmental remodeling. In this review, we summarize the underlying associations between exosomes and drug resistance of BC and discuss the unique biogenesis of exosomes, the change of exosome cargo, and the pattern of release by BC cells in response to drug treatment. Moreover, we propose exosome as a candidate biomarker in predicting and monitoring the therapeutic drug response of BC and as a potential target or carrier to reverse the drug resistance of BC. ● Facts Tumor-derived exosomes mediate enhanced EMT and stem-like property of drug-resistant BC. ● ● Tumor-derived exosomes mediate the chemoresistance TME-derived exosomes mediate the tumor of BC by reducing the intracellular accumulation of microenvironmental remodeling that favors the drug resistance of BC. 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; chemotherapeutic drugs and delivering functional ● cargos that activate pro-survival signaling and The exosome is proposed as a candidate biomarker in unchecked cell cycle progression. -
A-Kinase Anchoring Protein 79/150 Scaffolds Transient Receptor Potential a 1 Phosphorylation and Sensitization by Metabotropic G
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A-Kinase Anchoring Protein 79/150 Scaffolds Transient Receptor Potential A 1 Phosphorylation and Received: 25 November 2016 Accepted: 5 April 2017 Sensitization by Metabotropic Published: xx xx xxxx Glutamate Receptor Activation Allison Doyle Brackley1, Ruben Gomez2, Kristi A. Guerrero2, Armen N. Akopian3, Marc J. Glucksman5, Junhui Du5, Susan M. Carlton6 & Nathaniel A. Jeske1,2,4 Mechanical pain serves as a base clinical symptom for many of the world’s most debilitating syndromes. Ion channels expressed by peripheral sensory neurons largely contribute to mechanical hypersensitivity. Transient Receptor Potential A 1 (TRPA1) is a ligand-gated ion channel that contributes to inflammatory mechanical hypersensitivity, yet little is known as to the post-translational mechanism behind its somatosensitization. Here, we utilize biochemical, electrophysiological, and behavioral measures to demonstrate that metabotropic glutamate receptor-induced sensitization of TRPA1 nociceptors stimulates targeted modification of the receptor. Type 1 mGluR5 activation increases TRPA1 receptor agonist sensitivity in an AKA-dependent manner. As a scaffolding protein for Protein Kinases A and C (PKA and PKC, respectively), AKAP facilitates phosphorylation and sensitization of TRPA1 in ex vivo sensory neuronal preparations. Furthermore, hyperalgesic priming of mechanical hypersensitivity requires both TRPA1 and AKAP. Collectively, these results identify a novel AKAP-mediated biochemical mechanism that increases TRPA1 sensitivity in peripheral sensory neurons, and likely contributes to persistent mechanical hypersensitivity. A-kinase Anchoring Protein 79/150 (AKAP) is a scaffolding protein expressed throughout neural tissues1. Importantly, AKAP facilitates post-translational modifications of plasma membrane receptors by kinases includ- ing Protein Kinase A (PKA) and Protein Kinase C (PKC2). -
