Citron kinase activity controls alternative splicing events that drive prostate cancer growth

Prostate cancer (CaP) remains a major cause of cancer death in men, underscoring the need for mechanistically novel therapies. We previously identified the action of the mitotic kinase citron (CIT) kinase as a key driver of CaP progression and promising therapeutic target, but se...

BUB1B Mitotic Kinase Dependency Reveals CENP-E Inhibition as a Tractable Approach for Castration and Enzalutamide Resistant Prostate Cancer

Abstract Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) progression despite treatment with potent androgen receptor (AR) antagonists such as enzalutamide is a major clinical challenge. The mitotic kinase BUB1B is a central member of an oncogenic seven-gene network that drives CRPC....

Targeting tryptophan hydroxylase 1 restricts growth and suppresses plasticity in neuroendocrine prostate cancer

Advanced prostate cancer has increasingly developed a lethal neuroendocrine form, small cell/neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), as a consequence of the widespread use of highly potent androgen receptor signaling inhibitors in castration-resistant disease. The molecular mechan...
