Application of PRDX5 and GPX4 Genes in Preparation of Drugs for Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer

Abstract

The present disclosure discloses application of PRDX5 and GPX4 genes in preparation of drugs for castration-resistant prostate cancer and belongs to the technical field of biological medicines. The present disclosure proposes that silencing or interfering with the expression of the PRDX5 and/or GPX4 genes can be used in the treatment or adjuvant treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer. The present disclosure proposes for the first time a new strategy for preparing the drugs for the treatment of CRPC using siRNA in combination with an androgen receptor antagonist. The pharmaceutical composition comprising siRNA in combination with an androgen receptor antagonist according to the present disclosure can be used for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer and significantly improves the inhibitory effect of enzalutamide on castration-resistant prostate cancer, which provides the basis for the design and clinical application of nucleic acid drugs with important clinical therapeutic significance.
