Plasticizers and prostate cancer: unraveling the link through network toxicology and machine learning

Environmental plasticizer exposure studied via integrated computational and laboratory approaches. Readers can expect multi-omics and experimental exploration of prostate cancer links.

Key Takeaways
  • Study identified 183 genes linking common plasticizers to prostate cancer
  • PLK1, ALB, and CCNA2 were narrowed as core prognostic targets using machine learning
  • DMP increased prostate cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion and upregulated PLK1 expression
