PURPOSE: We report LS phenotypes in aged Wistar rats (Charles Rivers, Wilmington, Massachusetts) with EPI.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: EPI was induced in 36 to 40-week-old male rats by castration with subcutaneous injections of 17beta-estradiol (0.25 mg/kg daily) plus dihydrotestosterone propionate (2.5 mg/kg daily) in sesame oil for 30 days. Controls were sham castrated, aged rats that were injected with sesame oil. Prostate, spleen and blood LSs in aged and young (10 to 12-week-old) rats were identified by flow cytometry in a cluster of differentiation system.
RESULTS: All prostates in 6, 17beta-estradiol plus dihydrotestosterone propionate treated rats and in 3 of 7 controls (43%) showed inflammation foci. All studied LSs in Aged-SPIs and Aged-EPIs were similar. Blood LSs in Aged-SPIs, Aged-EPIs, Aged-NPIs and Youngs showed no differences. Levels of lymphocytes bearing the natural killer marker were decreased, and levels of total T and CD4(+) T cells were increased in prostates with age. Intraprostatic and splenic levels of CD4(+) natural killer T cells were down-regulated significantly in Aged-SPIs and Aged-EPIs compared to those in Aged-NPIs and Youngs. Levels of CD45RC(+)CD4(+)alphabetaTCR(+) T cells were decreased 2-fold in the spleen and up-regulated 2-fold in the prostate of Aged-SPIs and Aged-EPIs compared to those in Aged-NPIs and Youngs.
CONCLUSIONS: Similar LS features in Aged-SPIs and Aged-EPIs may indicate that the EPI model is appropriate for studies of the immune aspects of prostate inflammation. Imbalance between suppressive CD4(+) natural killer T cells and autoreactive CD45RC(+)CD4(+)alphabetaTCR(+) T cells in Aged-SPIs and Aged-EPIs may suggest their role in prostate inflammation in this model.
