[Mechanism study on the effect of androgen antagonism in prostate cancer].

Objective: To explore the mechanism of tetrahydroxynonene (4-HNE) in the androgen antagonistic effect of prostate cancer through the androgen receptor (AR) - mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway.

Method: Prostate cancer LNCaP cells were divided into wild-type group (NC, control group) and transfection group. The transfection group was further divided into empty vector transfection group (NC-L7 group) and GSTA4 gene transfection group (A0718, GSTA4-OE group).

[Correlation of the expressions of 4-HNE and GPC5 with the progression of prostate cancer].

Objective: To investigate the expressions of phosphatidylinositol proteoglycan 5 (GPC5) and tetrahydroxynonene (4-HNE) in the PCa tissue and their impact on tumor progression.

Methods: Using immunohistochemistry, we determined the expression rates of GPC5 and 4-HNE in 50 PCa and 50 BPH tissue samples, followed by comparative analysis of the correlation between their expressions and Gleason grading.

Results: The positive expression rate of GPC5 was 94.
