  • Currently, there is a general agreement of PGR presence in the stromal cells of PCa
  • expressed in both stromal and tumor cells of the PCa tissue
  • In univariate analysis, a high density level of PGR in both TE and TS was associated with CF

  • High density level of PGR in the TE was an independent prognostic factor for CF.
  • Our large-sized study demonstrates a wide distribution of PGR in stromal and epithelial cells of both benign and malignant prostate tissue
  • there seems to be a general agreement of PGR presence in the stromal cells of PCa
  • In line with our findings, several have also reported a high PGR expression in TE of PCa [9,10,23,25]. In contrast, others have demonstrated a total lack of PGR expression in TE
  • the actions of progesterone are tissue specific
  • In our work univariate analysis demonstrated a high PGR expression in TS to be associated with clinical failure in PCa patients. So far we have not yet demonstrated the mechanism underlying this association
  • Several non-genomic proliferative actions of progesterone have been proposed in tumor cells of other organs, including breast [35–37], astrocytoma [38] and osteosarcoma [39] cell lines. However, such results are contradicted by suggestions of anti-proliferative actions of progesterone in endometrial cancer
  • Yu et al. found PGR to be negatively regulating stromal cell proliferation in vitro
  • high PGR density level in TE was associated with CF in patients with Gleason score ≥ 7
  • Bonkhoff et al. have suggested progressive emergence of PGR during PCa progression and metastasis
  • Latil and co-workers found a decreased PGR expression in clinically localized tumors and increased PGR expression in hormone-refractory tumors, when compared with normal prostate tissue
  • Our findings provide further support to these findings, indicating that PGR plays a role in the pathogenesis of PCa
  • Ki67 and PGR in TE were correlated with CF (S3 Text), indicating an association between PGR and proliferative activity
  • The mechanism behind the PGR up-regulation in PCa has not yet been elucidated
  • The PGR is, like the glucocorticoid receptor, similar to androgen receptor with 88% sequence homology in the ligand-binding domain
  • progesterone induced expression of androgen receptor-regulated genes could be a potential mechanism contributing to the development of castrate resistant PCa
  • A possibility of different roles by the two PGR isoforms in normal prostate tissue and PCa, as is suggested for the estrogen receptors [13], must also be taken into account

    STudy finds that increased Progesterone receptor expression on epithelial and stromal cells is associated with increased clinical failure of therapy.  Several proposed mechanisms: 88% homologous with androgen receptor suggesting cross-stimulation and via progesterone induced increased androgen receptor gene stimulation i.e. epigenetics.

    Results show a clear down-regulation of p53, EGFR, Ki-67 and CD31 in cervical cancer cells.
