Identification of Altered Proteins in the Plasma of Rats with Chronic Prostatic Inflammation Induced by Estradiol Benzoate and Sex Hormones

ABSTRACT: The cause of non-bacterial chronic prostatitis is unknown, yet its prevalence accounts for more than 90% of all prostatitis cases. Whole blood, plasma, and serum have been used to identify prostate cancer biomarkers; however, few studies have performed protein profiling to identify prostatitis biomarkers. The purpose of this study was to identify protein biomarkers altered by chronic prostatitis. To perform the study, we chemically induced chronic prostate inflammation in Sprague Dawley rats using estradiol benzoate (EB), testosterone (T), and estradiol (E), then examined protein levels in their plasma. Plasma was collected on postnatal days (PNDs) 90, 100, 145, and 200; plasma proteins were profiled using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Chronic inflammation was observed in rat prostate induced with EB on PNDs 1, 3, and 5. Rats then were dosed with T+E during PND 90-200 via subcutaneous implants. We identified time-specific expression for several proteins (i.e., CFB, MYH9, AZGP1). Some altered proteins that were expressed in the prostate (i.e., SERPINF1, CTR9) also were identified in rat plasma in the EB+T+E group on PNDs 145 and 200. These findings suggest that the identified proteins could be used as biomarkers of chronic prostatitis. Further studies are needed to verify the results in human samples.

Project description:Androgens are required for prostate development, growth and physiology, by activating the androgen receptor (AR) upon activation by testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the AR undergoes conformational changes, dimerizes and translocates to the cell nucleus regulation important genes releted to cell survival. Understanding the mechanisms of androgen regulation in the prostate gland is important, because the prostate is affected by several different diseases, in particular prostate cancer (PCa). Several ways exist to treat prostate cancer and promote epithelial cell death. Treatments involving androgen manipulation include surgical castration (bilateral orchiectomy), antiandrogens (usually AR antagonists), or substances that inhibit androgen synthesis (5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, gonadotrophin-releasing hormone blockers). 17 beta-estradiol exerts anti-androgen effects by blocking the hypothalamic production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and thereby inhibiting the production of testosterone by the testes , but also acts locally via interactions with either of the estrogen receptors found in the gland. It is known that the kinetics of apoptosis are different in the rat ventral prostate (VP) of castrated rats (Cas group) and in rats subjected to 17 beta-estradiol high dose (group E2) or their combination (group Cas+E2), with an evident additive effect in the latter situation (Garcia-Florez et al, 2005). The microarray approach was done to figure out what genes are expressed and how the cells of ventral prostate gland responses when the androgen is not available comparing three diferent androgen deprivation methods (sirurgical castration, high dose of 17-beta estradiol and both treatment combined). Forty-eight 21-day-old male Wistar rats were obtained from the Multidisciplinary Center for Biological Research (CEMIB), University of Campinas. The animals were kept under normal light conditions (12-h light:dark cycle) and received filtered tap water and Purina rodent chow ad libitum. On the 90th day after birth, the rats were divided in four groups (n=3) and assigned to different treatment groups. To cause androgen deprivation, we utilized three different procedures with different effects on epithelial cell apoptosis. Animals in the first group were castrated (Cas) by orchiectomy via scrotal incision under ketamine (150 mg/Kg body weight) and xylazin (10 mg/kg body weight) anesthesia. Animals in the second group received a 25 mg/Kg body weight dose of 17β-estradiol diluted in corn oil (E2 group). The third group received a combination of both treatments (Cas+E2 group) (combined orchiectomy and 17β-estradiol). In the control group (Ct; normal androgen and estrogen), the animals received only the vehicle. Three days after the treatments, the rats were killed by anesthetic overdose, and the ventral prostate was dissected out for the microarray and immunohistochemistry analyses.
