Resumo

Significance The results of the recent clinical trials, ChemoHormonal Therapy Versus Androgen Ablation Randomized Trial for Extensive Disease in Prostate Cancer (CHAARTED) and Systemic Therapy in Advanced or Metastatic Prostate Cancer: Evaluation of Drug Efficacy (STAMPEDE), suggest a significant contribution of androgen receptor signaling to sensitivity of docetaxel in prostate cancer. This study provides evidence that KDM5D (lysine-specific demethylase 5D) encoded on the Y chromosome plays an important role in docetaxel sensitivity by interacting with androgen receptor signaling, and that its expression level is associated with clinical outcomes. These data start to elucidate the biological underpinnings for the findings from these clinical trials.
