    摘要: A formulation and method for treating prostate cancer is provided. The method includes use of bromodomain and extra-terminal domain inhibitors (BETi) or combination of BETi and anti-androgen drug to therapeutically target DLX1-positive advanced-stage prostate cancer patients. The formulation for treating prostate cancer relates to disrupting ERG/AR transcriptional circuitry with BETi in combination with anti-androgen drug to attenuate DLX1 expression and its downstream oncogenic effects. The BETi and the combination of BETi and anti-androgen drug yields 60% of tumor regression and remarkable reduction in distant metastases in the preclinical immunodeficient mice bearing DLX1-positive tumors.
