A key mechanistic link contributing to this enhanced risk is chronic inflammation originating from excess white visceral adipose tissue (WAT; VAT) and periprostatic adipose tissue (ppWAT). Contributing to systemic inflammation is gut dysbiosis, which itself may be caused by ABCD as well as background local inflammation (prostatitis), which is common in aging men and may be exacerbated by the urinary microbiome. Investigating the molecular biology driving inflammation and its association with increased PCa risk, a recent paper applied a network and gene set enrichment to adipokine drivers in the ABCD-PCa network. It found prominent roles for MCP-1, IL-1\u03b2, and CXCL-1 in addition to confirming the importance of exposure to lipopolysaccharides and bacterial components, corroborating the role of gut dysbiosis. To further unravel the mechanistic links between ABCD and PCa risk, this critical review will discuss the current literature on prominent inflammatory signaling pathways activated in ABCD; the influence of gut dysbiosis, the urinary microbiome, and chronic prostatitis; and current hypotheses on how these domains may result in the development of aggressive PCa over a man\u2019s life. Moreover, we performed a novel pathway enrichment analysis to further evaluate the associations between ABCD, PCa risk, gut dysbiosis, and the prostate microbiome, the results of which were partitioned into extracellular and intracellular signaling pathways. In the extracellular space, novel mechanistic links between gut dysbiosis and MCP-1, IL-1\u03b2, CXCL1, and leptin via bacterial pathogen signaling and the intestinal immune network (for IgA production), crucial for gut immune homeostasis, were found. Within the intracellular space, there were downstream signals activating chemokine and type 2 interferon pathways, focal adhesion PI3K\/Akt\/mTOR pathways, as well as the JAK\/STAT, NF-\u03baB, and PI3K\/Akt pathways. Overall, these findings point to an emerging molecular pathway for PCa oncogenesis influenced by ABCD, gut dysbiosis, and inflammation, and further research, possibly with lifestyle program-based clinical trials, may discover novel biomarker panels and molecular targeted therapies for the prevention and treatment of PCa.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers18020206","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,9]],"date-time":"2026-01-09T08:09:06Z","timestamp":1767946146000},"page":"206","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Adipokine Metabolic Drivers, Gut Dysbiosis, and the Prostate Microbiome: Novel Pathway Enrichment Analysis of the Adiposity-Based Chronic Disease\u2014Prostate Cancer Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2231-8429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zachary","family":"Dovey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Mount Sinai Queens and Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, 1 Gustave L.
