Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is a regulatory protein hormone that has been associated with normal fetal growth and differentiation as well as fetal calcium regulation. Parathyroid hormone-related protein has been implicated in a variety of carcinomas as a major factor in the development of humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy and may also play a role as an autocrine growth factor. In a previous immunohistochemical study we found that all prostatic adenocarcinomas (CAP) express PTHrP. In the current study, we evaluated PTHrP in prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) in radical prostatectomy specimens. A validated mouse monoclonal antibody, 9H7, raised against fragment 109-141 of the carboxy-terminus of PTHrP was used for immunostaining. The results generally showed negative to weak staining of normal and hyperplastic tissue and strong staining in PIN. The staining intensity was further evaluated by computer based image analysis. The relative optical density in PIN (9.24 +/- 9.05) was significantly (P = .008) higher than that in normal gland (.00 +/- 3.6). These findings suggest that PTHrP may be involved in the pathogenesis of prostatic dysplasia, and its immunohistochemical evaluation may have diagnostic use in the evaluation of PIN.

D044162 Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein A ubiquitously expressed, secreted protein with bone resorption and renal calcium reabsorption activities that are similar to PARATHYROID HORMONE. It does not circulate in appreciable amounts in normal subjects, but rather exerts its biological actions locally. Overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related protein by tumor cells results in humoral calcemia of malignancy.
