Abstract
Introduction and objective

Recent reports found that prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in men.

Methods and results

Between January 2004 and December 2007, 62 samples were obtained (30 from patients with cancer and 32 from patients with hyperplasia). A clinical, experimental, cross-sectional, comparative, and descriptive trial study was conducted. The inclusion criteria (cancer or hyperplasia diagnosis), exclusion criteria (patients who did not consent to participate in the study or who were not candidates for prostate resection), and withdrawal criteria (damage tissue) were satisfied. The p22 phox subunit of NADPH oxidase was detected by immunohistochemistry in patients with prostate cancer and prostatic hyperplasia, from the formation of avidin-biotin complex using diaminobenzidine as a contrast dye. The statistical analysis was determined with Student's t test (Graph Prism 3.0 software); p<0.05 was considered a significant statistical difference. The results of the immunoreactivity of p22 phox in the prostate stroma and gland were increased in prostate cancer (8.45±3.6 and 25.08±7.5% p<0.0001, respectively) compared to the results in prostatic hyperplasia (4.8±2.8 and 6.7±3.1% p<0.0001, respectively).

Conclusions

Over-expression of the NADPH oxidase is involved in prostate cancer. Moreover, we suggest that NADPH oxidase in combination with other classic markers could be an indicator for the post-treatment monitoring of the patients diagnosed with hyperplasia and others minor pathologies of the prostate.

Resumen
Introducción y objetivo

Recientes reportes ubican que el cáncer de próstata es el segundo cáncer más común y la segunda causa principal de muerte por cáncer en los hombres.

Métodos y resultados

Se obtuvieron 62 muestras (30 de pacientes con cáncer y 32 de pacientes con hiperplasia) colectadas desde enero de 2004 a diciembre de 2007. Se llevó a cabo un estudio clínico, experimental, transversal, comparativo y descriptivo. Se cumplieron los criterios de inclusión (diagnóstico de cáncer o hiperplasia), exclusión (pacientes que no autorizaron a participar en el estudio o no candidatos a la resección prostática) y de eliminación (tejidos dañados). Se detectó por inmunohistoquímica la presencia de la subunidad p22 phox de la NADPH oxidasa en pacientes con cáncer de próstata e hiperplasia prostática a partir de la formación del complejo avidina-biotina en presencia de diaminobenzidina como colorante de contraste. El análisis estadístico fue determinado con la prueba t de student (software Graph Prism 3.0) considerando una p<0,05 para diferencias estadísticas. Los resultados de la inmunorreactividad de p22 phox en estroma y glándula de la próstata mostraron un incremento en el cáncer de próstata (8,45±3,6 y 25,08±7,5% p<0,0001, respectivamente) en comparación con los resultados encontrados para hiperplasia prostática (4,8±2,8 y 6,7±3,1% p<0,0001, respectivamente).

Conclusiones

La sobreexpresión de NADPH oxidasa se encuentra involucrada en el cáncer de próstata. Además, sugerimos que la NADPH oxidasa, en combinación con otros marcadores clásicos, podría funcionar como un indicador para el monitoreo postoperatorio de pacientes diagnosticados con hiperplasia u otras patologías menores de la próstata.
