The involvement of TRPV1 in the apoptosis of spermatogenic cells in the testis of mice with cryptorchidism. (PubMed, Cell Death Discov)
Transcriptome sequencing revealed that the expression of apoptosis-related genes (Capn1, Capn2, Bax, Aifm1, Caspase 3, Map3k5, Itpr1 and Fas) was down-regulated in spermatocytes of cryptorchid Trpv1-/- mice. Our results suggest that TRPV1 promotes the apoptosis of spermatocytes in cryptorchid mice by regulating the expression of apoptosis-related genes.

(PubMed, Lancet Oncol)
The demonstrated delays in definitive deterioration in GHS/QoL, urinary symptoms, and other functioning and symptom scales with talazoparib plus enzalutamide compared with placebo plus enzalutamide in patients with HRR-deficient metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer provide insight that might inform clinical decisions for these patients.

RNF112 Facilitates Ubiquitin-Mediated Degradation of c-Myc, Suppressing Proliferation, Migration and Lipid Synthesis in Bladder Cancer. (PubMed, Adv Sci (Weinh))
The restoration of c-Myc or ACLY expression attenuated the inhibitory effects of RNF112 on BLCA cell growth, migration, and lipid synthesis. In conclusion, this study confirmed that RNF112 suppressed the proliferation, migration, and lipid synthesis of BLCA cells by facilitating the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of c-Myc.

Requirement for Cyclin D1 Underlies Cell Autonomous HIF2-Dependence in Kidney Cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Discov)
Indeed, ccRCC lines lacking all three pRB family members remained at least partially HIF2a-dependent. In this context, however, a kinase-defective Cyclin D1 variant partially overrode belzutifan's antiproliferative effects, suggesting that ccRCC promotion by Cyclin D1 requires the phosphorylation of pRB paralogs and one or more kinase-independent Cyclin D1 activities.

Voluntary Exercise Attenuates Tumor Growth in a Preclinical Model of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer. (PubMed, Med Sci Sports Exerc)
Three weeks of voluntary wheel running was effective in delaying tumor formation and progression, which coincided with reduced transcription of DNA replication, AR signaling targets and mitochondrial dynamics. We further identified a downregulation in molecular pathways related to angiogenesis that may be responsible for the delayed tumor formation and progression by voluntary wheel running.
