The Role of CENPK Splice Variant in Abiraterone Response in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Most patients with metastatic prostate cancer eventually develop resistance to primary androgen deprivation therapy. To identify predictive biomarker for Abiraterone acetate/prednisone resistance, we screened alternative splice variants between responders and non-responders from the PROMOTE clinical study and pinned down the most significant variant, CENPK-delta8. Through preclinical patient-derived mouse xenograft (PDX) and 3D organoids obtained from responders and non-responders, as well as in vitro models, aberrant CENPK-delta8 expression was determined to link to drug resistance via enhanced migration and proliferation. The FLNA and FLOT1 were observed to specifically bind to CENK-delta8 rather than wild-type CENPK, underscoring the role of CENPK-delta8 in cytoskeleton organization and
