    Abstract Polyadenosine-diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors cause deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage that can be lethal to cells with deficient repair mechanisms. A number of PARP inhibitors are being tested as treatments for men with prostate cancer, both as monotherapies and in combinations that are based on purported synergies in treatment effect. While the initial single-agent development focused on men with identified deficiencies in DNA-repair pathways, broader patient populations are being considered for combination approaches. This review summarizes the current clinical development of PARP inhibitors and explores the rationale for novel combination strategies.

    Abstract Since 1944, when Huggins and Hodges demonstrated the effectiveness of bilateral orchiectomy for metastatic prostate cancer (PCa), androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been the first-line treatment for men with advanced PCa. The proportion of PCa cases that are metastatic at diagnosis ranges globally, from 5%-20% in countries with widespread screening practices to upward of 30%-60% where screening is minimal. In the United States alone, there will be an estimated 191,000 new cases of PCa diagnosed in the year 2020, of which approximately 20% will be metastatic.

    Abstract The last decade has seen substantial advances in androgen receptor targeting in prostate cancer. In addition, advances have been made in immunotherapy and radiopharmaceutical-based therapy, although their optimal use in the clinic remains unclear. Recent understanding of the relevance and actionability of DNA damage repair mutations in a considerable minority of patients with prostate cancer is likely to open up a new frontier in prostate cancer therapeutics. As androgen receptor-directed therapy moves earlier in the disease process for prostate cancer, advances in these nonandrogen receptor-based therapeutics may take on greater significance in the years to come.

    Abstract Management of advanced prostate cancer remains complex, with substantial changes in treatment options emerging in recent years having implications for treatment selection and sequencing. Recognition of the importance of androgen signaling has led to life-prolonging treatments, as well as "liquid biopsy" techniques to guide these treatments in some settings. Therapies that target estrogen receptor signaling are efficacious but infrequently used options for treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer. It is possible that nuances of estrogen receptor (ER) signaling, or selective modulation of ER signaling, might favorably influence outcomes in castration-resistant prostate cancer. Expression of ERs and their variants has been investigated in other cancers such as breast. Constitutively activating gene alterations can potentially lead to ER activation and subsequently promote cancer progression. The identification of these aberrations may help identify cancer phenotypes that are susceptible or resistant to therapies involved in ER signaling. This review outlines the current literature regarding ER signaling in prostate cancer, and provides background for exploration of potentially useful ER signaling biomarkers in advanced prostate cancer.

    Abstract Objective: To interrogate enriched prostate cancer cells and autologous non-malignant prostate epithelial cells from men with localized prostate cancer, in order to identify early oncogenic pathways.
    Patients and methods: We collected malignant and matched non-malignant prostatectomy samples from men with adenocarcinoma involving two or more contiguous areas in only one lobe of the prostate. Tissue samples from both lobes were subjected to digestion and single-cell suspensions were prepared. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule-positive cells from cancerous and contralateral non-malignant (control) samples were isolated using magnetic beads, ensuring uniform populations were obtained for each donor. Unbiased RNA sequencing analysis was used to measure gene expression and for detection of transcribed mutations or splice variants that were over- or under-represented in malignant prostate epithelial cells relative to autologous control prostate epithelial cells.
    Results: From five patient samples we identified 17 genes that were altered in prostate cancer epithelial cells, with 82% of genes being downregulated. Three genes, TDRD1, ANGTL4, and CLDN3, were consistently upregulated in malignant tissue. Malignant cells from three of the five patients showed evidence of upregulated ERG signalling, however, only one of these contained a TMPRSS2-ERG rearrangement. We did not identify mutations, gene rearrangements, or splice variants that were consistent amongst the patients.
    Conclusions: Events occurring early in prostate cancer oncogenesis in these samples were characterized by a predominant downregulation of gene expression along with upregulation of TDRD1, ANGTL4 and CLDN3. No consistent mutations or splice variants were observed, but upregulation of ERG signalling was seen both in the presence and absence of the classic TMPRSS2-ERG rearrangement.

    Abstract Objective: To characterize circulating oestrogen receptor ( ER) mutants and splice variants in men with advanced prostate cancer.
    Materials and methods: Sequential blood samples were obtained from men with advanced prostate cancer, and from healthy controls. Blood-derived RNA samples were analysed using droplet digital PCR for the presence of six ERα mutations (E380Q, L536Q, Y537C, Y537S, Y537N and D538G), and six ERα and ERβ splice variants (ERα-66, ERα-36, ERβ1, ERβ2, ERβ4 & ERβ5).
    Results: A total of 94 samples were collected from 42 men with advanced prostate cancer. Four mutations (E380Q, L536Q, Y537S and D538G) and all six splice variants were detected in patient samples. Splice variants were detectable in non-cancer control samples. The presence of ER mutations was associated with bone metastases and castration resistance. ERβ splice variant concentrations decreased after successive lines of treatment.
    Conclusions: The ER mutations were detectable in plasma from patients with advanced prostate cancer. ER splice variants were frequently detected in both men with and without prostate cancer.
