Androgen receptor (AR) continues to play a central role in prostate cancers that relapse after androgen deprivation therapy, but these tumors are refractory to available AR antagonists. In a recent issue of Science, Tran et al. describe an antagonist that prevents AR recruitment to chromatin and shows efficacy in relapsed prostate cancer.
雄激素受体(AR)在雄激素剥夺治疗后复发的前列腺癌中仍起着核心作用,但这些肿瘤对现有的AR拮抗剂具有抗性。在最近一期的《科学》杂志上,Tran等人描述了一种可阻止AR与染色质结合的拮抗剂,并在复发性前列腺癌中显示出疗效。
