    Abstract Among the relatively few established human prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP cells are unique in their ability to model key stages of prostate cancer progression. Analyses of LNCaP cells and their derivatives have been invaluable for elucidating important translational aspects of prostate tumorigenesis, metastasis, and drug response, particularly in the context of androgen receptor signaling. Here, we present major highlights from a wealth of literature that has exploited LNCaP cells and their derivatives to inform on prostate cancer progression and androgen response for improving the treatment of patients with prostate cancer.

    Abstract Most cancer deaths are due to metastatic dissemination to distant organs. Bone is the most frequently affected organ in metastatic prostate cancer and a major cause of prostate cancer deaths. Yet, our partial understanding of the molecular factors that drive bone metastasis has been a limiting factor for developing preventative and therapeutic strategies to improve patient survival and well-being. Although recent studies have uncovered molecular alterations that occur in prostate cancer metastasis, their functional relevance for bone metastasis is not well understood. Using genome-wide CRISPR activation and inhibition screens we have identified multiple drivers and suppressors of prostate cancer metastasis. Through functional validation, including an innovative organ-on-a-chip invasion platform for studying bone tropism, our study identifies the transcriptional modulator CITED2 as a novel driver of prostate cancer bone metastasis and uncovers multiple new potential molecular targets for bone metastatic disease.

    Abstract The ability of epithelial cells to assemble into sheets relies on their zonula adherens (ZA), a circumferential belt of adherens junction (AJ) material, which can be remodeled during development to shape organs. Here, we show that during ZA remodeling in a model neuroepithelial cell, the Cdc42 effector P21-activated kinase 4 (Pak4/Mbt) regulates AJ morphogenesis and stability through β-catenin (β-cat/Arm) phosphorylation. We find that β-catenin phosphorylation by Mbt, and associated AJ morphogenesis, is needed for the retention of the apical determinant Par3/Bazooka at the remodeling ZA. Importantly, this retention mechanism functions together with Par1-dependent lateral exclusion of Par3/Bazooka to regulate apical membrane differentiation. Our results reveal an important functional link between Pak4, AJ material morphogenesis, and polarity remodeling during organogenesis downstream of Par3.

    Abstract Structural studies on living cells by conventional methods are limited to low resolution because radiation damage kills cells long before the necessary dose for high resolution can be delivered. X-ray free-electron lasers circumvent this problem by outrunning key damage processes with an ultra-short and extremely bright coherent X-ray pulse. Diffraction-before-destruction experiments provide high-resolution data from cells that are alive when the femtosecond X-ray pulse traverses the sample. This paper presents two data sets from micron-sized cyanobacteria obtained at the Linac Coherent Light Source, containing a total of 199,000 diffraction patterns. Utilizing this type of diffraction data will require the development of new analysis methods and algorithms for studying structure and structural variability in large populations of cells and to create abstract models. Such studies will allow us to understand living cells and populations of cells in new ways. New X-ray lasers, like the European XFEL, will produce billions of pulses per day, and could open new areas in structural sciences.
