Description

Maristella Canovai and ten colleagues showed that resistant prostate cancer cells can export their drug resistance to neighbors. Docetaxel failure is a main reason metastatic prostate cancer treatment collapses. The team found that resistant cell clones release three specific microRNAs into their surroundings. When other cancer cells take up these molecules, the chemotherapy works less well on them too. The twenty twenty-three study traced this sharing mechanism in cell experiments.

Computer analysis and lab tests identified genes the microRNAs suppress, including FOXO1 and PDCD4. Two further genes, PPP2CB and INSIG1, carried much of the resistance effect. Tiny vesicles called exosomes ferried the microRNAs between cells. Blocking this traffic could be a future strategy for keeping docetaxel effective longer in advanced prostate cancer.
