The present invention provides new compositions and methods for treating prostate cancer, e.g., drug-resistant prostate cancer, such as anti-androgen drug (e.g., enzalutamide) resistant and/or castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). These new compositions include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutical compositions that include an AR-V7 inhibitor, such as niclosamide. Alternatively, these new compositions can include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutical compositions that include an AKR1C3 inhibitor, such as indomethacin. These new methods include, but are not limited to, methods of administering an AR-V7 inhibitor, such as niclosamide, and/or an AKR1C3 inhibitor, such as indomethacin, to treat patients having prostate cancer. The present invention also provides methods of inhibiting androgen receptor variant expression, e.g. AR-V7, and methods of killing cells expressing AR-V7. The present invention further provides methods of inhibiting AKR1C3 expression or activity, and methods of killing cells that express AKR1C3.
本发明提供了治疗前列腺癌,例如耐药前列腺癌,如抗雄激素药物(如恩扎鲁胺)耐药和/或阉割耐药前列腺癌(CRPC)的新组合物和方法。这些新组合物包括但不限于包括AR-V7抑制剂如尼可刹米的药物组合物。或者,这些新组合物可以包括但不限于包括AKR1C3抑制剂(如吲哚美辛)的药物组合物。这些新方法包括但不限于施用AR-V7抑制剂如尼可刹米和/或AKR1C3抑制剂如吲哚美辛治疗前列腺癌患者的方法。本发明还提供了抑制雄激素受体变体(如 AR-V7)表达的方法,以及杀死表达 AR-V7 的细胞的方法。本发明进一步提供了抑制AKR1C3表达或活性的方法,以及杀死表达AKR1C3的细胞的方法。
