The proline-specific peptidases, aminopeptidase P (EC 3.4.11.9) and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.5), were measured in human tissue homogenates and physiological fluids. All tissues examined contained measurable aminopeptidase P and dipeptidyl peptidase IV activities. High specific activities

Proline-rich kinase 2 (Pyk2), also known as CAKbeta (cell adhesion kinase beta), is a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase that is structurally related to focal adhesion kinase. Pyk2 is expressed in different cell types including brain cells, fibroblasts, platelets, and other hemopoietic cells. Pyk2 is

Cell cultures of fetal rat osteoblasts and organ cultures of fetal rat calvaria were used to study the effects of extracts of prostatic tissue on bone cell growth. Extracts of bening prostatic hyperplasia, but not an undifferentiated prostatic carcinoma, stimulated the incorporation of 3H-thymidine

The aim of this study was to assess the possible role of HPV in the development of prostate cancer (PCa) and investigate the distribution of the p53 codon 72 polymorphism in PCa in a Turkish population. A total of 96 tissues, which had been obtained using a radical surgery method, formalin-fixed and

OBJECTIVE The expression pattern of PAX5 in the tissue of superficial bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), its prognostic value and its correlation with p53 immunohistochemistry and p53 mutation analysis were evaluated. METHODS Study comprised 61 patients with histologically confirmed

To test the hypothesis that estrogen may have significant biological effects on the human prostate, we studied the effects of in vivo administration of tamoxifen, an antiestrogen, on human prostatic stromal protein synthesis in vitro. This was done by measuring [3H]proline incorporation in vitro in

To examine the relationship between whole prostatic dihydrotestosterone (DHT) concentrations and epithelial and stromal protein synthesis, patients awaiting surgery for benign prostatic hypertrophy were given medication to reduce circulating and tissue androgen levels for comparison to levels in

To evaluate the role of small amounts of DHT in prostate tissue as a stimulus to epithelial cell growth (protein synthesis) we studied tissue from patients given various androgen-blocking drugs prior to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and measured epithelial protein synthesis and DHT

PRH/HHEX (proline-rich homeodomain protein/haematopoietically expressed homeobox protein) is a transcription factor that controls cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell migration. Our previous work has shown that in haematopoietic cells, Protein Kinase CK2-dependent phosphorylation of PRH

Prostate cancer is the leading type of cancer diagnosed in men. Serum prostate-specific antigen levels and digital rectal exam are far from perfect when it comes to differentiation of patients with prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. In this study, we attempt to determine whether amino
