ABSTRACT
Expression of heparanase-1 in prostate tumors was evaluated by RT-PCR, immunoblotting, and immunohistochemistry. Malignant transformation was shown to be associated with considerable increase in the expression of heparanase-1 at both mRNA and protein levels, which correlated with the degree of metastasizing and can be used as the marker for diagnostics of the metastatic process.
