Abstract
BACKGROUND: Progression to a lethal androgen-independent (AI) stage of advanced prostate cancer is a critical clinical obstacle limiting patient survival. PTEN inactivation is frequently observed in advanced prostate cancer and correlates with a poor prognosis. However, the functional significance of PTEN inactivation in AI progression has not been demonstrated. METHODS: PTEN expression was examined in benign, hormone naïve and AI human prostate cancer specimens, and in recurrent AI Shionogi tumors. The effect of antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-mediated PTEN downregulation in AI progression of the Shionogi tumor model was determined. RESULTS: Significantly reduced PTEN expression was observed in AI versus benign and hormone naïve prostate tumors. Seven of 14 AI Shionogi tumors exhibited marked downregulation or complete loss of PTEN. ASO-mediated PTEN inhibition reduced androgen-withdrawal induced regression of Shionogi tumors and accelerated AI progression. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that PTEN inactivation may play a role in progression to androgen independence.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
