Androgen Receptor (AR) is central to prostate cancer (PCa) tumorigenesis and metastases. The genomic actions of androgens are mediated by the AR in complex with multiple chromatin modifying coregulators. We and others have identified lysine demethylases (KDMs) as important mediators of androgen signaling and increased expression of specific coregulators, including KDM1A, are implicated in PCa recurrence. There is an urgent need for new PCa treatments. While androgen deprivatio...
