  • Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and a leading cause of mortality. Incidences continues to rise and vary substantially between populations. Although the prevalence of prostate cancer is relatively low in Vietnam, some hospital-based reports have shown an upward trend in recent years. While certain non-modifiable factors such as age, race and genetics are known to be mainly responsible, the literature has also suggested that environmental exposures can delay the onset of this disease. The present study provides a review of the epidemiology of prostate cancer in Vietnam by systematically searching several electronic databases. The results confirm an increasing trend of prostate cancer over the past decade, with age-standardised rate more than doubled from 2.2 per 100,000 men in 2000 to 4.7 per 100,000 men in 2010. However, no study has been found on modifiable risk factors, with the exception of one in vitro experiment that showed the inhibitory effect of garlic on the growth of prostate cancer cells. The lack of epidemiological information poses a difficulty to develop public health interventions to prevent this emerging malignant disease in Vietnam.

  • Objectives : Previously, we reported that compound K isolated from fermented ginseng by Aspillus oryzae has a wide biochemical and pharmacological effect, including anti-cancer activity in prostate cancer PC-3 cells. Despite these findings, its signaling pathway and gene expression pattern are not clearly understood. Methods : To confirm the gene expression study of treated with compound K in PC-3 cells, a cDNA microarray chip composed of 44K human cDNA probes was used. MTT assay, western blot analysis, propidium iodide staining, and annexin V/propidium iodide staining were analyzed. Results : We confirmed the differences of gene expression profiles. Then, we analyzed with the cell cycle arrest, cell death and cell proliferation related genes using DAVID database. Conclusions : Our finding should be useful for understanding genome-wide expression patterns of compound K-mediated cell cycle arrest toward induction of cell death and be helpful for finding future cancer therapeutic targets for prostate cancer cells.

  • Background: This study aimed to evaluate the baseline white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, basophil, eosinophil count, total prostate-specific antigen (TPSA), free PSA (FPSA) level, neutrophilto- lymphocyte and neutrophil-to-monocyte ratios among patients with prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), as well as healthy individuals. Materials and Methods: 2005-2012 laboratory files of 160 patients with prostate cancer at Kayseri Training and Research Hospital, Oncology Outpatient Clinic, 285 patients who were pathologically diagnosed with BPH in Urology Outpatient Clinic and 200 healthy individuals who were admitted to Internal Medicine Outpatient Clinic were retrospectively analyzed. Baseline WBC, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, basophil, eosinophil count, TPSA, FPSA level, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil-to-monocyte ratio were recorded and compared across groups. Results: Patients with prostate cancer had a lower lymphocyte level compared to the patients with BPH and healthy controls (p<0.001). The mean monocyte count, leukocyte-to-monocyte ratio, and leukocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio were higher in patients with prostate cancer, but without significance. The mean WBC and leukocyte count were lower in patients with prostate cancer, but again without statistical significance (p=0.130). The mean TPSA and FPSA were 39.4 and 5.67, respectively in patients with prostate cancer, while they were 5.78 and 1.28 in patients with BPH. There was a significant difference in the mean TPSA and FPSA levels between the patient groups (p<0.001). Conclusions: Our study results showed that patients with prostate cancer had a lower level of lymphocytes, neutrophils and WBCs and a higher level of monocytes with a significant difference in lymphocyte count, compared to healthy controls. We suggest that lymphocyte count may be used in combination with other parameters in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, thanks to its ease of assessment.

  • 우리 몸에 필수적인 미량원소인 셀레늄은 항암활성이 있는 것으로 알려져 있고, 역학적, 생태학적 그리고 임상시험을 종합해보면, 셀레늄은 종양, 특히 전립선암, 폐암, 대장암에 대한 위험성을 낮출 수 있을 것으로 생각되어진다. 기전연구에 따르면 셀레늄은 DNA single strand breaks와 활성산소종을 유도함으로써 종양을 억제하는 예방효능이 있는 것으로 밝혀지고 있다. 하지만, 아직까지 전립선암세포주에서 methylseloenol 대사체 중에 하나인 MSeA와 세포주기억제와의 관계에 대해서는 명확하게 밝혀져 있지 않은 실정이다. 따라서, 이번 연구에서는 전립선암세포주에서 셀레늄의 세포주기에 관한 효능을 확인해 보고자 하였다. 결과를 종합해보면, MSeA는 전립선암세포주에서 G1/S기 세포주기를 억제하고 DNA 합성을 방해하는 것으로 나타났고, 이러한 현상은 cyclin의존성 키나아제를 길항하는 단백질 중에 하나인 p27단백질의 발현을 증가시킴으로써 일어남을 확인하였다. 따라서, MSeA에 의해 유발되는 세포주기 억제가 전립선암 세포의 성장억제에 기여하는 것으로 사료된다.

  • Prostate cancer has been a critical health problem due to an increase of prostate cancer-related deaths worldwide. Also, a frequent treatment option for prostate cancer is androgen ablation, but this treatment has a limited scope, especially for hormone-refractory cancer. There is an urgent need for the identification of alternative therapeutic strategies for prostate cancer. Previously, over one hundred species of dried-plant methanol extracts were tested for inhibitory effects on proliferation. One of them, Piper longum Linn. was selected based on its potent anti-proliferation effect. The dried root of P. longum Linn. was extracted with 100% methanol for 2-3 days and its extract was fractionated using chloroform. The chloroform layer was then subjected to column chromatography on silica gel, reverse phase-18 (RP-18) and Sephadex LH-20, in turn. Finally, the pure compound was obtained and identified as pipernonaline by NMR spectroscopic and physico-chemical analysis. In this study, anti-proliferation and cell cycle arrest effects of pipernonaline on human prostate cancer PC-3 cells were investigated using the MTT and PI staining, respectively. Our findings suggest that pipernonaline represents a dose-dependent growth inhibition pattern on PC-3 cells and, moreover, its growth inhibition is associated with sub-G1 and G0/G1 cell cycle accumulation in PC-3 cells. Also, these results provide an anticancer candidate for human prostate cancer.

  • Steroid sulfatase (STS) is responsible for the conversion of estrone sulfate to estrone that can stimulate growth in endocrine-dependent tumors such as prostate cancer. Although STS is considered as a therapeutic target for the estrogen-dependent diseases, cellular function of STS are still not clear. Previously, we found that tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$ significantly enhances steroid sulfatase expression in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells through PI3K/Akt-dependent pathways. Here, we studied whether bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) which are known to induce TNF-${\alpha}$ may increase STS expression. Treatment with LPS in PC-3 cells induced STS mRNA and protein in concentration- and time-dependent manners. Using luciferase reporter assay, we found that LPS enhanced STS promoter activity. Moreover, STS expression induced by LPS increased PC-3 tumor cell migration determined by wound healing assay. We investigated that LPS induced IL-6 expression and IL-6 increased STS expression. Taken together, these data strongly suggest that LPS induces STS expression through IL-6 pathway in human prostate cancer cells.

  • We isolated a coumarin compound, isoimperatorin ($C_{16}H_{14}O_4$ mw: 270) from Angelica koreana through silica gel column chromatography, and characterized it by NMR. Here, for the first time we observed that isoimperatorin (25, 50 and 100 ${\mu}M$) treatment for 24-72h inhibited growth and induced death in human prostate carcinoma DU145 cells. Further, in mechanistic investigation, isoimperatorin-induced cell growth inhibition was associated with a strong increase in G1 arrest in cell cycle progression, which started at 24h of the treatment. These findings suggest a novel anticancer efficacy of isoimperatorin mediated via induction of G1 arrest against hormone refractory human prostate carcinoma DU145 cells.

  • 유자는 성숙할수록 과피와 과육의 총페놀 함량은 많아지고 자유기 소거능이 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 유자로부터 추출한 18가지 용매 추출물의 항산화 활성과 전립선 암세포 DU 145, LN-CaP에 대한 세포독성 실험을 실시한 결과 과피와 과육 모두 미성숙한 유자 보다 성숙한 후 수확한 유자가 그 활성이 높게 나타냈다. 용매별로 살펴보면 과성숙 유자 과피, 과육의 클로로포름, 메탄올 추출물은 전립선 암세포 DU 145에 대하여 60% 이상의 세포사멸 효과를 나타났으며 메탄올 추출물의 효과도 농도에 따라 상당히 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 세포 조직을 현미경으로 살펴본 결과 추출물의 처리 농도가 증가할수록 세포 사멸이 쉽게 이루어지는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이런 세포 사멸의 경향은 추출물의 자유기 소거 환성이 높을수록 높게 나타났다.

  • Background: The aims of this study were to investigate the utility of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) as a simple and readily available marker in prostate cancer, as well as to evaluate RDW as a predictor of progression in prostate cancer patients. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 62 newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients who underwent transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy and 62 healthy controls of mean age 64 (range, 45-75) years at the Urology Clinic of Bozok University Hospital. Data collection was performed using our laboratory information system database to retrieve findings regarding RDW, hemoglobin, prostatespecific antigen (PSA), and age. The RDW values were compared between the healthy control group and prostate cancer patients. A high risk of progression as defined as a Gleason score (GS) >6, total number of cores positive for cancer >33%, each core containing >50% cancer cells, and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level >10 ng/mL. Patients were classified according to risk of progression, as well as divided into subgroups according to the RDW quartile. Results: The mean RDW value of prostate cancer patients was 14.6, compared with 13.7 in the healthy control group (p=0.001). A higher RDW was associated with an increased risk of progression, whereas a lower RDW value was correlated with a low risk of progression. Conclusions: RDW is an easily derived measure that might, in combination with other markers, help predict prostate cancer risk and progression. We suggest that RDW may be used in combination with other parameters in the assessment of prostate cancer.
