Microdissected DNA selectively extracted from paraffin-embedded sections of 29 cases of PCA and 1 benign prostatic hypertrophy were analyzed for p53 mutation by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified DNA fragments followed by direct sequencing.
More recently, studies have also potentially linked Cytl1 with a variety of conditions including cardiac fibrosis, smoking, alcohol dependence risk, and tumours such as benign prostatic hypertrophy, lung squamous cell carcinoma, neuroblastoma and familial colorectal cancer.
Primer pairs within the 3' untranslated region of PCTA-1 and reverse transcription-PCR demonstrate selective expression of PCTA-1 by prostate carcinomas versus normal prostate and benign prostatic hypertrophy.
Rapid expression cloning and differential RNA display identifies a gene, named prostate tumor inducing gene-1 (PTI-1), that is differentially expressed in prostate cancer versus normal prostate and benign prostatic hypertrophy.
Relationship between upregulated oestrogen receptors and expression of growth factors in cultured, human, prostatic stromal cells exposed to estradiol or dihydrotestosterone.
The androgen receptor plays different roles in macrophage-induced proliferation in prostate stromal cells between transitional and peripheral zones of benign prostatic hypertrophy.
The present study investigated the expression and function of CD59 on human prostatic tumor cells in situ and on 5 human prostate cell lines in vitro originating from either metastatic tumors or benign prostate hypertrophy epithelial cells.
The results indicated that discontinuation of tamsulosin for one month largely reduces the manifestations of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome in rats, which may suggest to change preoperative treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy with another class of drugs that do not interact with the iris receptors.
Using a monoclonal antibody (TA1) directed against human Her-2/neu oncogene product and an immunohistochemical staining method, no Her-2/neu expression was noted with benign prostatic hypertrophy (15 samples).
We investigated RAGE and amphoterin mRNA expression in prostate cancer cell lines (DU145, PC-3, and LNCaP cells), hormone-refractory prostate cancer tissues, and paired untreated primary prostate cancer and normal prostate (including benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH)) tissues using real-time quantitative PCR.
