The Proteogenomics of Prostate Cancer Radioresistance out on @CRC_AACR aacrjournals.org/cancerresco… #ProstateCancer radioresistance☢️ remains a challenge in radiotherapy, with aggressive relapses often occurring, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well understood. This study analyzed the genomic🧬 transcriptomic, and proteomic profiles of prostate cancer cells exposed to both conventional and hypofractionated radiotherapy, revealing that radioresistance is associated with genomic instability and impaired DNA mismatch repair, regardless of the treatment regimen. Key cancer driver genes exhibited distinct RNA and protein-level changes, with conventional fractionation triggering a more aggressive biomolecular response than hypofractionation. The study identified POLQ (DNA Polymerase Theta) as a promising radiosensitizer, demonstrating its ability to modulate radioresistance and predict treatment outcomes in patient cohorts, providing new insights into the lethal nature of prostate cancer. @HaasRoni @bethneilsen @Chenghao_Zhu @DrAndrewLoblaw @dr_vesi @AmarUKishan @DrMLChua @KislingerThomas @DrStanLiu

Looking for RNA-seq raw data from COVID patients. Anyone willing to share/collaborate? We like to test our gene/pathway expression statistical tool and maybe find something useful. Pls RT.
