Background
Castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is one of the most common solid tumor with high mortality and limited therapeutic options, and docetaxel is the first-line chemotherapy for patients. However, the long-term use of docetaxel has limited its clinical applications. The aim of this study was to identify docetaxel-resistant key genes and molecular mechanisms.
Results
TUBB4A (Class IVa beta-tubulin), SRPX (Sushi repeat containing protein, X chromosome) and CSRP2 (Cysteine and glycine rich protein 2) were finally identified as the key genes tightly related to docetaxel resistance. TUBB4A and CSRP2 may participate in docetaxel resistance by E2F transcription factor and MYC proto-Oncogene in the process of cell cycle, and SRPX may participate in docetaxel resistance by epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and P53 pathway.
Conclusion
TUBB4A, SRPX and CSRP2 may be the key genes associated with docetaxel resistance, which could be prognostic biomarkers for docetaxel resistance in CRPC.
