Résumé

PURPOSE: Angiogenesis is essential for the growth and metastasis of tumors. Mechanism of angiogenesis of prostate cancer remains to be defined. Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) is one of the most potent angiogenic factors and we have previously demonstrated that VEGF was expressed by rat ventral prostate in an androgen dependent manner. We herein investigated whether VEGF also plays an important role in tumor angiogenesis of prostate cancer and whether endocrine therapy inhibits expression of VEGF and angiogenesis in prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Frozen tumor tissues were obtained from 21 patients with prostate cancer before and 3 months after endocrine therapy and angiogenic activity was analyzed by measuring microvascular density(MVD) using immunohistochemical study for factor VIII and VEGF expression by RT-PCR -Southern blot assay and immunogistochemical study, respectively. RESULTS: Prostate cancer showed significantly increased expression of VEGF and MVD as compared with normal prostatic tissues and benign hyperplastic tissues(p<0.001). There were signficant correlations between VEGF expression and MVD of prostate cancer tissues. After endocrine therapy, both MVD and VEGF expression in prostate cancer tissues were signficantly decreased as compared with those of before endocrine therapy(p<0.001). There were no signficant differences between bilateral orchiectomy and leuprolelin therapy in inihibitory effect of VEGF expression and MVD in prostate cancer tissues. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that VEGF may be a major angiogenic factor in prostate cancer and one of important action mechanisms of endocrine therapy in prostate cancer may be in its inhibition of VEGF expression and tumor angiogenic activity.

Résumé

A concealed penis is a normally developed penis that becomes camouflaged by the suprapubic fat pad. This anomally can be congenital or iatrogenic following circumcision. A special variety of this disease is a retractile concealed penis with dysgenetic band of dartos fascia which produce recurrence not infrequently after operative correction by conventional method. We herein report 2 cases of concealed penis of which one case was a recurrent one and another was a case of severe degree with concomittent obesity where a new method for operative correction was applied.

Résumé

PURPOSE: Renal oncocytoma has been a focus of interest in urologic oncology. The biologic and molecular characteristics of this disease remains ill defined due to paucity of ideal in vitro model. In this present study a new cell line of human renal oncocytoma, CURO, has been established and characterized. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The CURO cells were cultured from tissues obtained from radical nephrectomy specimen of incidentally found renal oncocytoma. The cellular and molecular biological characleristics of CURO cells were analyzed. RESULTS: CURO cells grew in monolayer with a rapid doubling time of 20 hours. The cells showed abundant mitochondria and well developed microvilli, and expressed cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen, and lectins of distal renal tubular and collecting duct origin. The cells showed aneuploidy with high proportion of cells in G2+M phase(27%) on flow cytometric analysis. Karyotyping study revealed clonal heterogeneity: Majority showed normal 46XX, whereas, 12% of cells showed deletion or translocation of chromosome 19, but none of the cells showed abnormality of 3p. The cells neither showed mutation of p53 gene and nor expressed two major angiogenic factors of renal cell carcinoma: vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor. The CURO cells didn't show tumorigenecity in athymic nude mouse on either subcutaneous or subrenal capsular implantation. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that CURO may be a valuable model to study renal oncocytoma. Renal oncocytoma may be a benign tumor of distal renal tubular or collecting duct origin, but it may contain clone with high proliferative activity. Change of chromosome 19 may be a marker of development or proliferation of renal oncocytoma.
