- The castration-induced regression and testosterone stimulated regrowth of the vasculature in the rat ventral prostate lobe were studied using stereological techniques. Seven days after castration, the endothelial cell proliferation rate (bromodeoxyuridine labeling index); the total weights of blood vessel walls, blood vessel lumina, endothelial cells, glandular epithelial cells; and total organ weight were all decreased. Within 2 days after sc treatment with testosterone, the total weights of blood vessel walls, endothelial cells, and vascular lumina, as well as the endothelial cell proliferation rate, were all normalized. In contrast to the rapid response of the vasculature, the total weight of glandular epithelium and total organ weight were not normalized during the 4 days of testosterone treatment. Growth of the vasculature apparently precedes growth of the glandular epithelium. The testosterone- dependent factors stimulating the vasculature are unknown, but factors derived from epithelial cells, mast cells (which accumulate in the prostate during the first day of testosterone treatment), and tissue macrophages could all be involved. Castration-induced regression and testosterone-stimulated regrowth of the prostatic vasculature can be used as an experimental model to study factors regulating angiogenesis and organ growth in the prostate.

- PURPOSE: Recent studies suggest that the vasculature is important for the control of prostate growth. Castration induces an involution of the prostate gland and its vasculature. Replacement of testosterone stimulates endothelial cell proliferation and normalizes vascular volumes and blood flow several days before organ regrowth. Antiangiogenesis treatment inhibits the growth of prostate tumors. Understanding the regulation of the prostate vasculature may therefore provide important knowledge of the mechanisms responsible for the growth of non-malignant and malignant prostate tissue. Castration induced regression and testosterone stimulated regrowth of the prostatic vasculature have here been used to study the involvement of the angiogenic factor vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors flt-1 and flk-1/KDR in the regulation of the prostatic vasculature.MATERIALS AND METHODS: VEGF, flt-1, and flk-1/KDR levels were quantified in the rat ventral prostate following castration and testosterone replacement. Methods used were competitive RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry.RESULTS: VEGF mRNA and protein levels were significantly decreased by castration and testosterone treatment induced VEGF synthesis in the rat ventral prostate epithelium. Flt-1 and flk-1/KDR receptor levels were unaffected by castration and testosterone treatment.CONCLUSIONS: Castration down regulates VEGF and testosterone induces VEGF synthesis in epithelial cells in the rat ventral prostate.
