Low Expression of the Androgen-Induced Tumor Suppressor Gene PLZF and Lethal Prostate Cancer

Abstract

4%–9% of prostate cancers harbor homozygous deletions of the androgen-induced tumor suppressor gene, promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF, ZBTB16). PLZF loss induces an in vitro phenotype of castration resistance and enzalutamide resistance. The association of low expression of PLZF and clinical outcomes is unclear.
