    Abstract The RE-1 silencing transcription factor (REST) is a repressor factor related to neuroendocrine prostate cancer (PCa) (NEPC), a poor prognostic stage mainly associated with castration-resistant PCa (CRPC). NEPC is associated with cell transdifferentiation and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cells undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and enzalutamide (ENZ). The effect of REST overexpression in the 22rv1 cell line (xenograft-derived prostate cancer) on EMT, migration, invasion, and the viability for ENZ was evaluated. EMT genes, Twist and Zeb1, and the androgen receptor (AR) were evaluated through an RT-qPCR and Western blot in nuclear and cytosolic fractions of REST-overexpressing 22rv1 cells (22rv1-REST). The migratory and invasive capacities of 22rv1-REST cells were evaluated via Transwell

    Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer death in men, worldwide. Mortality is highly related to metastasis and hormone resistance, but the molecular underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We have studied the presence and role of cancer stem cells (CSCs) and the Epithelial-Mesenchymal transition (EMT) in PCa, using both in vitro and in vivo models, thereby providing evidence that the stemness-mesenchymal axis seems to be a critical process related to relapse, metastasis and resistance. These are complex and related processes that involve a cooperative action of different cancer cell subpopulations, in which CSCs and mesenchymal cancer cells (MCCs) would be responsible for invading, colonizing pre-metastatic niches, initiating metastasis and an evading treatments response. Manipulating the stemness-EMT axis genes on the androgen receptor (AR) may shed some light on the effect of this axis on metastasis and castration resistance in PCa. It is suggested that the EMT gene SNAI2/Slug up regulates the stemness gene Sox2, and vice versa, inducing AR expression, promoting metastasis and castration resistance. This approach will provide new sight about the role of the stemness-mesenchymal axis in the metastasis and resistance mechanisms in PCa and their potential control, contributing to develop new therapeutic strategies for patients with metastatic and castration-resistant PCa.

    Abstract Until now, few offshore seismic studies have acquired simultaneously P‐ and S‐ wave data to derive in detail the seismic structure of the oceanic crust. We present 2‐D Vₚ and Vₛ models using wide‐angle seismic data at the Indian basin adjacent to the NinetyEast Ridge. Here, an outcrop basement located at the middle of the seismic line presents uppermost crustal Poisson's ratios (ν) of 0.28–0.29 (Vₚ ∼ 4.2 km/s and Vₛ ∼ 2.3 km/s). At the flanks of the outcrop basement, the sediment cover is 200–300 m thick and ν values are similar (0.28–0.3), but Vₚ and Vₛ values are higher (4.5–4.8 and 2.4–2.6 km/s, respectively). We interpret the relatively lower Vₚ and Vₛ around the basement outcrop in terms of hydrothermal alteration, while at the flanks of the basement outcrop, hydrothermal alteration has most likely ceased by sedimentation and compaction processes. Across the seismic layer 2, the Vₚ–Vₛ trend is linear and follows a ν value of 0.28–0.29, however, at the seismic layer 2/3 transition, the Vₚ–Vₛ trend abruptly changes following a ν value of 0.25–0.26. These reduced observed ν values at the layer 2/3 transition are lower than those reported by laboratory measurements for gabbro (ν ∼ 0.293) and are interpreted in terms of epidotization at the dike‐gabbro contact and/or crack‐change properties around the lower part of the intrusive sheeted dike section.
