In this study we detected the expression of pim-1 mRNA in normal prostate, benign prostatic hyperplasia （BPH）, and prostate cancer （PCa） and explored its diagnostic value for PCa. Methods The prostate tissues were collected from 23 patients with PCa, 37 patients with BPH, and 3 healthy volunteers. Pim-1 mRNA expression levels in these samples were determined by the quantitative real-time PCR （QRT-PCR）. The differences of expression were calculated based on a standard curve. Results The ratio of pim-1 mRNA to β-actin in the normal prostate, BPH, and PCa were 1.05±0.04, 2.57±0.74 and 4.45±0.63, respectively. The differences among PCa, BPH and NT were significant （P〈0.05, respectively）. Conclusion Detecting pim-1 mRNA expression by QRT-PCR provides a reliable metric for the diagnosis of PCa.展开更多

DNA array is a new bio-technology for disease diagnosis. This study was conducted to diagnose prostate cancer with cDNA macroarray and analysis gene expression profiles of some selective genes in prostate cancer. Methods Total RNA was isolated from patients with prostate cancer and from normal people, and poly（A） RNA was further purified. Then it was analyzed for differentially expressed genes in prostate cancer and normal prostate by cDNA macroarray system. Results There were different expressions in the nine prostate-associated specific genes in prostate cancer as compared with normal prostate, in which, 7 were significantly upregulated and 2 were down-regulated. Conclusion As a diagnostic approach at molecular level, the cDNA macroarray is an effectively diagnostic method for orostate cancer.展开更多
