Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:To compare the cellular composition of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in Chinese and Caucasian-American men. METHODS:Surgical specimens of the prostate were obtained from 9 Chinese and 8 Caucasian-American men undergoing cystoprostatectomy for invasive transitional cell carcinoma. The mean ages of the Chinese and Caucasian-American men were 66.8 years and 66.4 years, respectively (P = 0.94). The mean prostate weight of the Chinese and Caucasian-American men was 53.4 g and 32.1 g, respectively (P = 0.01). Double immunoenzymatic staining with antibodies against actin and prostatic acid phosphatase and computer-assisted color image analysis were performed on whole-mount tissue sections. The percent area density of smooth muscle (SM), connective tissue (CT), epithelium (E), and epithelial lumen (L) were obtained by analyzing 30 fields from each specimen. RESULTS:The mean percent area density of SM, CT, E, and L in the prostate of Chinese men was 32%, 9.1%, 10.8%, and 48.5%, respectively. The mean percent area density of SM, CT, E, and L in the prostate of Caucasian-American men was 52.5%, 27.9%, 12.8%, and 7%, respectively. Overall, the prostates of Chinese men contained significantly more glandular lumen and significantly less SM and CT. CONCLUSIONS:The present study demonstrates that the cellular composition of BPH in the prostates of Caucasian-American and Chinese men is different. These cellular differences may account for previously observed differences in the incidence of clinical BPH.
