Outline of Final Research Achievements

Elucidating a comprehensive mechanism through which most patients with advanced prostate cancer have an initial response to androgen deprivation therapy, but eventually progress to a castration-resistant state is critical to establish a novel treatment strategy for castration refractory prostate cancer (CRPC). We investigated the mechanism for the emersion of CRPC from the perspective of ubiquitin-proteasome system regulating both NF-kappa B and unfolded protein response (UPR) activation. Our study suggested that constitutive NF-kappa B activation and successive escape from endoplasmic reticulum stress might be one of mechanism for CRPC emersion, and that trying development of new drugs with targeting for ubiquitin-proteasome system might be a novel therapeutic strategy for the management of CRPC.
