Folic Acid–Modified miR-491-5p–Loaded ZIF-8 Nanoparticles Inhibit Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer by Regulating the Expression of EPHX1

Epoxide hydrolase 1 (EPHX1) has been reported to be related to the development of several tumors. However, the regulation of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) development by EPHX1 has not been reported. We used proteomic technology and found that the EPHX1 protein was highly expressed in C...
