BACKGROUND Tenascin (tenascin-C) has been suggested to be associated with active epithelial-stromal interactions. We evaluated tenascin expression in tissue remodelling processes presumably associated with PIN and prostate carcinoma (PCa). METHODS Tenascin immunoreactivity was evaluated in 38 PIN lesions (low-grade = 5, high-grade = 33) from 27 paraffin-embedded PCa specimens, and compared with expression in pre-existent (normal) prostate, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and PCa. RESULTS Periepithelial stromal tenascin expression was low in low-grade PIN, and similar to normal glands and BPH, whereas expression in high-grade PIN was high and partly overlapped that of well-/moderately differentiated PCa. High-grade PCa usually expressed little, if any tenascin. CONCLUSIONS The variable periglandular tenascin expression in high-grade PIN may reflect the biologic behaviour of this lesion, and may be indicative of variable levels of tissue remodelling. In well/moderately differentiated PCa tenascin expression levels may be an indicator of tumour progression.

D008297 Male Males
D011467 Prostate A gland in males that surrounds the neck of the URINARY BLADDER and the URETHRA. It secretes a substance that liquefies coagulated semen. It is situated in the pelvic cavity behind the lower part of the PUBIC SYMPHYSIS, above the deep layer of the triangular ligament, and rests upon the RECTUM. Prostates
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.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
