Gene expression in human basal, luminal, and stromal cell populations from benign prostatic hyperplasia tissues and comparisons with cultured basal cells.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The understanding of common prostatic disorders has been restricted by both cellular heterogeneity and the scarcity of established cell lines, although organoid technology, based on primary cultures, promises much for the future. In particular, little is known about the aetiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), for which culture of single cell types might not accurately not reflect the stromal and epithelial overgrowths observed in tissues. To address the applicability of primary cell culture models of prostate disease, we compared cell type-specific mRNA expression patterns in BPH tissues and primary basal cells cultured from the same transurethral biopsies.
