Casticin inhibits AKR1C3 and enhances abiraterone efficacy in castration-resistant prostate cancer. (PubMed, J Nat Med)
CAS significantly enhanced ABI's cytotoxic efficacy in 22Rv1 cells, as evidenced by synergistic interactions (CI: 0.31-0.71); however, no such synergy was observed in LNCaP cells or with enzalutamide. Docking and molecular dynamics simulations indicated a stable CAS-AKR1C3 interaction, characterized by crucial hydrogen bonding and aromatic stacking within the active site. These results suggest that CAS is a promising chemosensitizer targeting AKR1C3 to overcome ABI resistance in CRPC.

Abiraterone Acetate Triggers ER Stress-Mediated Androgen Receptor Suppression via PERK/ATF4/CHOP Signaling in Prostate Cancer. (PubMed, Int J Urol)
AA induces ER stress, leading to transcriptional downregulation of the AR and suppression of PCa cell viability and proliferation. Targeting the PERK pathway may enhance AA efficacy in AR-driven PCa.

Circulating Tumor DNA as a Biomarker for Precision Medicine in Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
BRCA1/2-mutant patients benefited from Olaparib plus Abiraterone, while persistent alterations predicted early progression. We recommend unified reporting standards (e.g., variant allele frequency thresholds and panel composition) and prioritized prospective trials to validate high-impact targets. These steps will accelerate the integration of ctDNA into routine precision oncology practice worldwide.

Patient-reported Outcomes for Men with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer Who Received Olaparib plus Abiraterone Versus Placebo plus Abiraterone in the Phase 3 PROpel Study. (PubMed, Eur Urol Oncol)
In PROpel, there were no differences in HRQoL or pain scores reported by patients with mCRPC receiving olaparib + abiraterone versus placebo + abiraterone, suggesting that patients can derive a clinical benefit from olaparib + abiraterone while maintaining similar HRQoL in comparison with current standard-of-care treatment. The PROpel trial is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT03732820.

Prostate-specific Antigen and Objective Response Analyses in PROpel: Olaparib Plus Abiraterone Versus Placebo Plus Abiraterone as First-line Therapy for Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer. (PubMed, Eur Urol Oncol)
Results for ORR, DoR, confirmed PSA50-RR, and time to PSA progression favoured Ola + Abi over P + Abi in the ITT population and biomarker subgroups. The data support consideration of Ola + Abi as first-line treatment for mCRPC.
