The application belongs to the technical field of biological
medicine, and discloses application of a MYLK3
gene inhibitor in preparation of a
drug for treating
castration-resistant
prostate cancer. The biological function of MYLK3 in
prostate cancer is confirmed for the first time, an intervention means with the
gene as a target point is provided, and it is confirmed that the MYLK3 inhibitor can improve the sensitivity of
castration-resistant
prostate cancer to
androgen receptor antagonists. A
gene therapy
drug with the human MYLK3 gene as a treatment target point is specially provided, which is suitable for the treatment of
prostate cancer (especially
castration-resistant
prostate cancer), and can also be combined with other targeted drugs to improve the
treatment effect. By designing a reasonable RNAi target sequence for the
target gene, a
retrovirus vector
plasmid containing the target sequence is successfully constructed, which has a significant
inhibitory effect on the proliferation ability of
prostate cancer cells, and significantly increases the sensitivity of prostate cancer cells to AR antagonists.
