Previous studies have demonstrated that muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are expressed by human skin fibroblasts (HSF). We have identified the molecular subtypes of these receptors by reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), using m1-m5 subtype-specific primers. These expe
## Abstract The production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by prostatic epithelial and/or neighboring stromal cells is considered to be a property that gives cells the capability to penetrate extracellular matrix barriers in normal or neoplastic growth. In order to examine the role of MMPs in t
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFP1) are potential autocrine growth regulators of the prostatic stroma, and therefore may play a role in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We reported [Story et al.: Prostate 22:183-197, 19931 that TG
