Cell separation and characterization of epithelial cells from human benign prostatic hyperplasia. 1981

K Oishi, and J C Romijn, and F H Schröder

Epithelial cells were isolated from human prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) after mechanical disruption of the tissue. The tissue was cut into small pieces, then mechanical pressure was applied. Stroma and epithelium were separated by a sequence of sedimentation steps. The recovery rate of epithelial cells was around 20 million cells per gram of tissue and more than 95% of the cells did exclude trypan blue. Epithelial cells can be identified by phase contrast microscopy and by the acid phosphatase content of the cells. In more than 95% of the cells the presence of acid phosphatase could be shown cytochemically with phosphorylcholine as a substrate. This finding indicates that the contamination with other cell types is very small. Histological study of the remaining stroma indicates that most of the epithelial cells are removed. Also, the acid phosphatase content of this fraction was found to be very low. The problem of obtaining large quantities of stromal cells in suspension has not yet been resolved. However, the technique described may be more suitable than others for the separate study of stroma and epithelium from BPH.

D011470 Prostatic Hyperplasia Increase in constituent cells in the PROSTATE, leading to enlargement of the organ (hypertrophy) and adverse impact on the lower urinary tract function. This can be caused by increased rate of cell proliferation, reduced rate of cell death, or both.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
