## Abstract Carcinoma cells in PIN are situated above a layer of basal epithelial cells, which shield the tumor cells from stimulation by factors from the prostate stroma. During progression to invasive carcinoma, the basal cell layer becomes disrupted and tumor cells adhere to the basement membran

## Abstract Although prostate cancer is still the most diagnosed cancer in men, most genes implicated in its progression are yet to be identified. Chromosome abnormalities have been detected in human prostate tumors, many of them associated with prostate cancer progression. Indeed, alterations (inc
## Abstract Prostate derived factor (PDF) is a member of transforming growth factorβΞ² (TGFβΞ²) superfamily proteins involved in differentiation of the prostate epithelium. Proprotein convertases (PCs) such as furin are thought to mediate the processing of TGFβΞ² superfamily. In the present study, we
