Abstract:Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men, and treatment options for metastatic disease remain limited. In this study, we employed Adeno-associated virus (AAV) delivery and CRISPR-Cas9 technology to simultaneously mutate multiple genes in the mouse prostate, in order to investigate positive genetic interactions during PCa progression. By targeting five potential tumor suppressor genes (Pten, Trp53, Rb1, Stk11, and RnaseL), we induced advanced prostate tumors in mice with… Show more
