Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression and pathological diagnostic utility of ?-methylacyl-coenzyme A racemase(P504S)in prostate cancer(PC). Methods The specimens of 42 cases of PC,18 cases of prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia(PIN)and 25 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)tissues were immunohistochemical stained with P504S,34?E 12 and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)antibody,respectively. Their staining extent and intensity were analyzed and compared. Results Of the 42 PC cases,33(79%)showed positive P504S staining with moderate to strong staining intensity, which was significantly stronger than that of PIN and BPH cases,while adjacent normal glands were all negative. Weakly positive P504S staining was found in 6(33%)of 18 PIN cases and 2(8%)of 25 BPH cases,while it was negative in others.The specimens of BPH cases had a complete basal cell layer and were positive for 34?E 12 ;while 40 cases of PC had no basal cell layer and only 2 cases had discontinuous basal cell layers with weak staining.The basal cell layers of PIN cases were positive for 34?E 12 and the staining was a little weaker than that of BPH cases.All the specimens of BPH,PIN and PC cases showed positive staining for VEGF,the extent and staining intensity had no significant difference among these groups. Conclusions P504S has high sensitivity and good specificity in the diagnosis of PC,and is helpful for differentiating the suspected cases when combined with 34?E 12.
