        Metastatic Prostate cancer is a lethal disease, but unfortunately the molecular mechanisms that underlie the metastasis of this common cancer are still poorly understood. In advanced stages of the cancer, cells cancerous may spread to the other part of the body specially to bones and lymph nodes. One of the important contributing processes in cancer invasion and metastasis is Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT). Overexpression of ZEB1 as a key regulating factor, promotes EMT processes in a variety of cancers. In the present study, to evaluate the expression of ZEB1 and its differences between benign prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer, 16 patients with BPH and 17 patients with Pca were selected, RNA was extracted and after synthesis of cDNA , ZEB1 expression in mRNA level was analyzed by Real Time PCR. Our results indicated that ZEB1 was overexpressed in Pca samples in comparison to BPH ones (P=0.047). In conclusion our findings suggest that evaluating the expression of ZEB1 is likely to be useful as a prognostic biomarker to diagnose prostate cancer in early stages. Furthermore, due to the critical role of ZEB1 in metastasis promotion of a variety of cancers through regulating other EMT markers, it would be possible to avoid progression and metastasis of prostate cancer by suppressing ZEB1.

        The AGS cell line contains gastric cancer cells, which are among the most common cancers in the world. The DU145 cell line also includes prostate cancer cells, the second leading cause of death in men after lung cancer. This study was designed to assess the cytotoxicity of spirulina extract on AGS and DU145 cell lines. In this in vitro trial, cell lines AGS and DU145 were used. Gastric and prostate cancer cell lines were prepared and cultured from the Iranian Center for Biological and Genetic Resources. The cells were divided into treatment and control groups. The effect of spirulina extract on the treated group was determined using the MTT method. According to MTT results, Spirulina extract has anti-cancer activity and more than 50% reduction in cell density against AGS and DU145 cell lines; While it did not show any significant effect on healthy cells (P< 0.05). The results of this study indicate that Spirulina extract has a good potential to control cancer cells. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: After breast cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. Screening is recommended by examining prostate-specific antigen levels and performing accurate rectal tests, but there are still problems with the specificity and sensitivity of these tests. A group of diagnostic biomarkers are microRNAs, a class of small non-coding RNAs that play a broad regulatory role in molecular signaling pathways in the cell. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the expression level of miR-25 in the urine of patients with prostate cancer (metastatic and non-metastatic groups) and healthy individuals.Materials and methods: 70 urine samples from prostate cancer patients (32 metastatic and 38 non-metastatic) and 30 from healthy subjects with negative biopsy reports were collected. RNA was extracted with Trizol, after the cDNA synthesis, the expression level of miR-25 in the urine was detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Statistical analysis of data was calculated with REST 2009.Results: The results showed that miR-25 significantly reduced expression in patients with prostate cancer compared with healthy individuals (P = 0.001). Also, miR-25 in the metastatic group (p = 0.002) had a lower expression than the non-metastatic group (p = 0.045) compared to healthy individuals.Conclusions: The results of this study showed that miR-25 had a significant decrease in expression in patients with prostate cancer compared to healthy individuals, which with further studies is hoped to be able to diagnose patients with prostate cancer and even distinguish metastatic and non-metastatic groups.

        Introduction: Although many clinical and pre-clinical studies have widely demonstrated the therapeutic effects of hydroalcoholic extract of the puppet pup on several diseases, there is little information on the therapeutic properties of this plant's hydroalcoholic extract on prostate cancer. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Physalis alkekengi extract on prostate cancer induced by injection of 12.7-dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA) (a carcinogenic drug) on mouse modelMaterials and Methods: After induction of anesthesia, DMBA was injected directly into the prostate gland of male rats and after 14 days, rats received different amounts of puppet extract every 48 hours and by the end of day 21, intraperitoneal injection of puppet extract. In the control group, intraperitoneal injection of normal saline was performed.Results: The results showed that the puppet extract significantly reduced prostate weight, especially at two concentrations (100 mg, 500, and 1000). Histopathological changes were also observed in the prostate tumors of p.alkekengi extract treated groups compared to the control group.Conclusion: It is suspected that the hydroalcoholic extract of the p.alkekengi inhibits abnormal growth, precancerous lesions, and DMBA-induced carcinoma in the BALB / c mouse prostate.

        Inflammation is a physiological process begining with tissue damage in the presence of various infectious agents, and men with symptoms of chronic inflammation in their noncancerous prostate tissue are about twice as likely as other men to develop advanced prostate cancer. Considering the importance of inflammatory factors in the invasion and metastasis of prostate cancer cells, we decided to evaluate the effect of the anti-inflammatory drug M2000 on two inflammatory genes involved in the invasion of cancer cells. PC3 cells were first cultured using RPMI medium with 10% FBS and 1% PenStrep. The cells were then treated with M2000 at concentrations of 25 and 50 μg/ml and after 24 hours the expression of il-8 and NF-κB were examined using real-time RT-PCR. NF-κB was assessed using real-time RT-PCR. In this study, NF-κB gene expression decreased in all treatments in RT-PCR. While the il-8 decreases in expression at a concentration of 50 μg/ml. The results of the present study showed that M2000 can reduce the expression of il-8 and NF-κB genes involved in tumorigenesis and invasion of prostate cancer cells, which could pave the way for future studies to better control prostate cancer.
