Stromal cell interplay in prostate development, physiology, and pathological conditions

Abstract: Advances in prostatic stroma studies over the past few decades have demonstrated that the stroma not only supports and nourishes the gland's secretory epithelium but also participates in key aspects of morphogenesis, in the prostate's hormonal metabolism, and in the functionality of the secretory epithelium. Furthermore, the stroma is implicated in the onset and progression of prostate cancer through the formation of the so‐called reactive stroma, which corresponds to a tumorigenesis‐permissive microenvironmen… Show more

“…However, in addition to the protective role that telocytes may play in the perialveolar muscle in the prostatic epithelium, it was found in both the control and the treated group that prostatic telocytes existed in close association with immune cells. This association has been verified in several other organs (Chi et al, 2015; Ibba‐Manneschi et al, 2016; Jiang et al, 2018; Wang et al, 2020), including the prostate (Sanches, Maldarine et al, 2021), in which telocytes produce proangiogenic factors and become sensitive to proinflammatory factors with aging (Sanches et al, 2020b). In the treated group, telocytes are also in the periphery of leukocyte infiltrates that occupy part of the interalveolar region.…”

“…Telocytes have been detected in the stroma of several organs and tissues such as the heart (Gherghiceanu & Popescu, 2012; Kostin, 2016), liver (J. Liu et al, 2016; Xiao et al, 2013), kidneys (Zheng et al, 2012), mammary glands (Petre et al, 2016; Sanches et al, 2020a), and testes (Liu, Liang et al, 2019; Marini et al, 2018), among others. Although there is no single function for these cells, their role in the organization of the stroma is especially notable (Sanches, Maldarine et al, 2021; Sanches Tamarindo et al, 2021). As in other organs, prostatic telocytes spread their telopodes throughout the stroma (Corradi et al, 2013).…”

“…Stroma mostly consists of fibroblasts and structural extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, including collagens and laminins. In normal conditions, by releasing paracrine growth factors and under the androgen hormone influence, stroma cells nourish and orchestrate the physiologic development of the prostate gland, ensuing epithelial morphogenesis [ 2 ]. Analogously, prostate stroma components substantially cooperate in carcinogenic development by establishing a tumor-supportive environment [ 3 ].…”
