Research Article: RNA N6-methyladenosine-modified-binding protein YTHDF1 promotes prostate cancer progression by regulating androgen function-related gene TRIM68
Abstract:
There is no report about the direct relationship between m6A modification and androgen receptor (AR)-related genes in prostate cancer (PC). We aimed to study the mechanisms of m6A methylation in regulating the pathogenesis of PC from the perspective of AR-related genes.
Introduction:
Prostate cancer (PC) is a malignant tumor in genitourinary system, which is a serious threat to the male population [1]. Most patients undergo surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or hormone therapy. Despite improvements in these treatments, the 5-year recurrence rate for men with PC is still about 25 percent, and the overall mortality remains high [2]. It is well-known that the development and maintenance of the prostate depends on the action of androgen through the androgen receptor (AR) [3]. AR plays pivotal roles…
