Abstract excerpt
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an age-related disease in men. Mesenchymal /stromal and epithelial cells interactions are essential to prostate functions. In this study, human nonmalignant prostate epithelial RWPE-1 cells were cocultured with testosterone (TE) -exposed prostate stromal fibroblasts WPMY-1 cells (TE-WPMY-1). The survival rate, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and collagen deposition of...
