Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a Second-Generation Antiandrogen for Treatment of Advanced Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: The diarylthiohydantoins RD162 and MDV3100 are characterized, two compounds optimized from a screen for nonsteroidal antiandrogens that retain activity in the setting of increased androgen receptor expression that appear to be promising candidates for treatment of advanced prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reciprocal Feedback Regulation of PI3K and Androgen Receptor Signaling in PTEN-Deficient Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: Combined pharmacologic inhibition of PI3K and AR signaling caused near-complete prostate cancer regressions in a Pten-deficient murine prostate cancer model and in human prostate cancer xenografts, indicating that both pathways coordinately support survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucocorticoid Receptor Confers Resistance to Antiandrogens by Bypassing Androgen Receptor Blockade

TL;DR: This work identifies induction of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression as a common feature of drug-resistant tumors in a credentialed preclinical model and establishes a mechanism of escape from AR blockade through expansion of cells primed to drive AR target genes via an alternative nuclear receptor upon drug exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myc-driven murine prostate cancer shares molecular features with human prostate tumors.

TL;DR: To define Myc's functional role, transgenic mice expressing human c-Myc in the mouse prostate are generated and this approach illustrates how genomic technologies can be applied to mouse cancer models to guide evaluation of human tumor databases.
