PSA enzymatic activity: A new biomarker for assessing prostate cancer aggressiveness

Abstract: Given the high level of debate surrounding PSA screening effectiveness [3-5] and the recent U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recommendation to discontinue PSA screening [6], our results provide renewed hope that a clinical monitoring tool may emerge that truly refines PCa treatment decision-making.

“…However, treatment with BIM-23926 sst1 agonist did not alter AR phosphorylation, which could suggest that SSTR1 is tightly associated with AR pathway, but not directly through the activation of AR phosphorylation. Furthermore, treatment with BIM-23926 sst1 agonist during 24h decreased PSA secretion in 22Rv1 cell line, which reinforces the potential role of SSTR1 in the prostate, since PSA is over-secreted in PCa 68 and clearly associated to AR activity. 69 In this sense, the role of sst1 in the modulation of AR activity in PCa, as well as its putative role in castration resistant PCa warrant further investigation.…”

“…As for in vivo tPSA activity, we utilized human PCa specimens, demonstrating a correspondence between higher tPSA protein expression and low-to-null COL1A1 expression, paralleled by high COL1A1 cleavage; this envisages PSA per se is enzymatically active in the tumor milieu. Notably, PSA activity measured in prostate tissue has been previously reported to be inversely correlated to tumor aggressiveness and PCa cell invasive abilities [ 16 , [29] , [30] , [31] ]. In addition, our dataset analysis highlighted a consistent inverse correlation between KLK3 and several types of collagens, including COL1A1.…”
