Interplay between hypoxia and androgen controls a metabolic switch conferring resistance to androgen/AR-targeted therapy

Prostate cancer often develops resistance to androgen receptor (AR) targeting drugs. Here, the authors show that, under conditions of hypoxia, AR inhibition via enzalutamide increases the expression of the glycolytic enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase (GPI) promoting a metabolic rewiring that allows th...
