Lemos G, Fernandes CMADS, Silva FH, Calmasini FB. The role of autophagy in prostate cancer and prostatic diseases: a new therapeutic strategy. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 2024; 27:230-238. [PMID: 38297152 DOI: 10.1038/s41391-024-00793-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Autophagy is a well-conserved catabolic process that plays a key role in cell homeostasis. In the prostate, defective autophagy has been implicated in the genesis and progression of several pathological conditions. AIM The present review explored the autophagy pathway in prostate-related dysfunctions, focusing on prostate cancer (PCa), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis. RESULTS Impaired autophagy activity has been shown in animal models of BPH and prostatitis. Moreover, autophagy activation by specific and non-specific drugs improved both conditions in pre-clinical studies. Conversely, the efficacy of autophagy inducers in PCa remains controversial, depending on intrinsic PCa characteristics and stage of progression. Intriguingly, autophagy inhibitors have shown beneficial effects in PCa suppression or even to overcome chemotherapy resistance. However, there are still open questions regarding the upstream mechanisms by which autophagy is deregulated in the prostate and the exact role of autophagy in PCa. The lack of specificity and increased toxicity associated with the currently autophagy inhibitors limits its use clinically, reflecting in reduced number of clinical data. CONCLUSION New therapeutic strategies to treat prostatic diseases involving new autophagy modulators, combination therapy and new drug formulations should be explored. Understanding the autophagy signaling in each prostatic disease is crucial to determine the best pharmacological approach.

Abstract
Introduction Population ageing is expected to be accompanied by an increase in multi-morbidity, i.e. the co-occurrence of multiple chronic conditions simultaneously. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-malignant disease prevalent in ageing men. Both BPH and multi-morbidity are known to have a significant impact on quality of life. The objective of this study was to determine the association between BPH and multimorbidity among older adults and the elderly population in India. Methods This is an analytical cross-sectional study involving secondary data from the nationally representative Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) Wave I 2017-18. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to study the association between BPH and multimorbidity while accounting for other associated factors. Results Compared to those having no co-morbidities, the odds of having BPH increased with the increasing number of co-morbidities. Those with at least two co-morbidities were twice as likely (aOR=2.19; 95%CI 1.78-2.72), and those with at least four co-morbidities were almost six times as likely (aOR=5.78; 95%CI 2-16.72) to have BPH as compared to those with no co-morbidities. The association was stronger among males >60 years. Conclusion Self-reported benign prostatic hyperplasia was found to be strongly associated with multi-morbidity. The need of the hour is the inclusion of BPH within the framework of a national health programme. Health technology assessment of high-risk screening strategies for BPH may be conducted among patients with multimorbidity. Research into the impact on the quality of life of those affected by both BPH and multimorbidity will help highlight this as a priority problem for decision-makers.

Abstract
PURPOSE Tomato is an important source of lycopene, a carotenoid that has been emerging as a natural preventive agent for prostate disease. Moreover, tomato contains other components with a wide range of physiological properties, but their potential beneficial effects on prostatic hyperplasia (PH) during obesity have not been completely established. In this study, we compared the effect of a lipidic extract of tomato saladette (STE) with Serenoa repens (SR) on obese rats with PH. METHODS Forty-eight Wistar rats were divided in Control (C) and Obese (Ob) treated without (n = 12) and with (n = 36) testosterone enanthate (TE), once a week for 8 weeks to induce PH. After 4 weeks, SR and STE were administered. Biochemical parameters, oxidative stress markers and inflammatory cytokines production were determined. RESULTS TE increased prostate weight and caused prostatic hyperplasia in C group, and these effects were exacerbated by obesity. SR and STE reverted the increase in prostate weight and hyperplasia caused by TE in C and Ob groups. Obesity increased LDL, TGs, NOx and MAD, but decreased HDLc, GSx, SOD and CAT. SR reverted the effects of obesity, but these were significantly reduced and HDLc increased with STE. Obesity and TE increased TNFα, IL-1β and IL-6 levels, but these were partially reverted by STE compared with SR. CONCLUSIONS Excess of fat tissue increases the alterations by PH. STE diminishes these alterations compared with SR, suggesting its beneficial effect to improve prostate function. Whole tomato lipid extract could serve as sole therapy or as an adjunct to pharmacological treatment for PH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of simultaneous administration of dutasteride, tadalafil and solifenacin in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with overactive bladder symptoms and lower urinary tract obstruction in previously unsuccessfully treated men. METHODS Patients in Group A (n=97) received dutasteride 0.5 mg/day, tadalafil 2.5 mg/day, and solifenacin 2.5 mg/day; Group B (n=95) received dutasteride 0.5 mg/day, tadalafil 5 mg/day, and solifenacin 5 mg/day; Group C (n=103) received dutasteride 0.5 mg/day, tadalafil 20 mg/day, and solifenacin 10 mg/day. The functional status of the lower urinary tract was assessed using the International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS), Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OABq), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), and Male Sexual Health Questionnaire Ejaculatory Dysfunction (MSHQ-EjD) as well as uroflowmetry. RESULTS The total score of the sexual function remained unchanged in Group B of patients 81.3 points vs. 80.2 points (p>0.05) according to MSHQ-EjD, 61.4 points vs. 51.2 points (p>0.05) according to IIEF data. The total assessment of symptoms of hyperactivity significantly decreased in Group C according to OABq data after the 4th week of the study (17.5 points vs. 26.1 points, p<0.05) and remained below the baseline until the end of the study (15.2 points). CONCLUSIONS The simultaneous administration of standard doses of dutasteride, solifenacin, and tadalafil for 3 months is safe, effective, and can be recommended for patients with BPH to reduce symptoms of obstruction and hyperactivity of the bladder and maintain sexual function.

Abstract
The role of high-fat diet (HFD) induced gut microbiota alteration and Ghrelin as well as their correlation in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were explored in our study. The gut microbiota was analyzed by 16s rRNA sequencing. Ghrelin levels in serum, along with Ghrelin and Ghrelin receptor in prostate tissue of mice and patients with BPH were measured. The effect of Ghrelin on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and induction of BPH in mice was explored. Our results indicated that BPH mice have the highest ratio of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes induced by HFD, as well as Ghrelin level in serum and prostate tissue was significantly increased compared with control. Elevated Ghrelin content in the serum and prostate tissue of BPH patients was also observed. Ghrelin promotes cell proliferation while inhibiting cell apoptosis of prostate cells. The effect of Ghrelin on enlargement of the prostate was found almost equivalent to that of testosterone propionate (TP) which may be attenuated by Ghrelin receptor antagonist YIL-781. Ghrelin could up-regulate Jak2/pJak2/Stat3/pStat3 expression in vitro and in vivo. Our results suggested that Gut microbiota may associate with Ghrelin which plays an important role in activation of Jak2/Stat3 in BPH development. Gut microbiota and Ghrelin might be pathogenic factors for BPH and could be used as a target for mediation.

Correlation between body mass index and prostate volume in benign prostatic hyperplasia patients undergoing holmium enucleation of the prostate surgery. BMC Urol 2021; 21:88. [PMID: 34112139 PMCID: PMC8191122 DOI: 10.1186/s12894-020-00753-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a leading cause of morbidity in men over the age of 40. This study examined whether there was an association between body mass index (BMI) and pre-operative prostate volume and whether expression of two genes, alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) and transforming growth factor beta 3 (TGFB3), was correlated with BMI, pre-operative prostate volume, and age at surgery. Methods Medical records of patients who underwent holmium enucleation of the prostate surgery for treatment of BPO were retrospectively reviewed. Surgical specimens were obtained from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks, and expression of the targeted genes was quantified using a real time PCR approach. Linear regression analysis was performed to assess association between BMI and prostate volume adjusting for demographic characteristics and co-morbidity. Spearman’s correlation was used to examine whether gene expression was correlated with BMI, prostate volume, and age at surgery. Results A total of 278 patients were identified, including 62.9% European Americans (n = 175) and 27.7% Hispanic Americans (n = 77). BMI was significantly correlated with prostate volume (Spearman’s rho = 0.123, P = 0.045). In linear regression analysis, BMI was positively associated with prostate volume (β = 0.01, P = 0.004), while hyperlipidemia was negatively associated with prostate volume (β = −0.08, P = 0.02). A trend for a positive association was also observed for diabetes (β = 0.07, P = 0.099). In the race/ethnicity stratified analysis, age at surgery showed a trend for significantly positive association with prostate volume in European Americans (β = 0.005, P = 0.08), but not in Hispanic Americans. Expression of the A2M gene in the stroma was negatively correlated with age at surgery (P = 0.006). A2M expression in the gland was positively correlated with prostate volume among older men (Age ≥ 70, P = 0.01) and overweight men (BMI 25–30, P = 0.04). TGFB3 expression in the gland was positively correlated with BMI (P = 0.007) among older men. Conclusions This study demonstrated the positive correlation between BMI and prostate volume. Expression of TGFB3 and A2M was correlated with BMI, prostate volume, and age at surgery. Supplementary information Supplementary information accompanies this paper at 10.1186/s12894-020-00753-9.

Abstract
Metformin is the first-line oral antidiabetic drug that shows multiple pleiotropic effects of anti-inflamation, anti-cancer, anti-aging, anti-microbia, anti-atherosclerosis, and immune modulation. Metformin's effects on men's related health are reviewed here, focusing on reproductive health under subtitles of erectile dysfunction (ED), steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis; and on prostate-related health under subtitles of prostate specific antigen (PSA), prostatitis, benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer (PCa). Updated literature suggests a potential role of metformin on arteriogenic ED but controversial and contradictory effects (either protective or harmful) on testicular functions of testosterone synthesis and spermatogenesis. With regards to prostate-related health, metformin use may be associated with lower levels of PSA in humans, but its clinical implications require more research. Although there is a lack of research on metform's effect on prostatitis, it may have potential benefits through its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties. Metformin may reduce the risk of BPH by inhibiting the insulin-like growth factor 1 pathway and some but not all studies suggest a protective role of metformin on the risk of PCa. Many clinical trials are being conducted to investigate the use of metformin as an adjuvant therapy for PCa but results currently available are not conclusive. While some trials suggest a benefit in reducing the metastasis and recurrence of PCa, others do not show any benefit. More research works are warranted to illuminate the potential usefulness of metformin in the promotion of men's health.

Abstract
The human prostate is an androgen-dependent gland where an imbalance in cell proliferation can lead to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which results in voiding lower urinary tract symptoms in the elderly. In the last decades, novel evidence has suggested that BPH might represent an element into the wide spectrum of disorders conforming the Metabolic Syndrome (MS). The dyslipidemic state and the other atherogenic factors of the MS have been shown to induce, maintain and/or aggravate the pathological growth of different organs, with data regarding the prostate being still limited. We here review the available epidemiological and experimental studies about the association of BPH with dyslipidemias. In particular, we have focused on Oxidized Low-Density Lipoproteins (OxLDL) as a potential trigger for vascular disease and cellular proliferation in atherogenic contexts, analyzing their putative molecular mechanisms, including the induction of specific extracellular vesicles (EVs)-derived miRNAs. In addition to the epidemiological evidence, OxLDL is proposed to play a fundamental role in the upregulation of prostatic cell proliferation by activating the Rho/Akt/p27Kip1 pathway in atherogenic contexts. miR-21, miR-141, miR-143, miR-145, miR-155, and miR-221 would be involved in the transcription of genes related to the proliferative process. Although much remains to be investigated regarding the impact of OxLDL, its receptors, and molecular mechanisms on the prostate, it is clear that EVs and miRNAs represent a promising target for proliferative pathologies of the prostate gland.

Abstract
Background To investigate the association between lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostate hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in aging Chinese males. Methods A dataset that included 3,568 non-MetS cases and 1,020 MetS cases (after data cleansing) was downloaded from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). To balance the intergroup covariates, propensity score matching (PSM) was employed in the analyses. Univariate logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression were then performed to investigate the relationship between LUTS/BPH and MetS in aging Chinese males. Results Before PSM, multivariate logistic regression showed that participants with MetS had a 1.47 times higher risk of LUTS/BPH compared to non-MetS cases in the final model (P<0.001). It also revealed that participants with low high-density lipoprotein (HDL), abdominal adiposity, or high triglycerides had a higher probability of LUTS/BPH [odds ratio (OR) =1.56 for low HDL; OR =1.50 for abdominal adiposity; and OR =1.48 for high triglyceride, P<0.001], while participants with hyperglycemia or hypertension had identical odds of LUTS/BPH (P>0.05). After PSM, 1,000 pairs were successfully matched. It was also found that MetS cases had a 1.60 times higher risk of LUTS/BPH compared to non-MetS cases (P<0.001), and participants with low HDL, abdominal adiposity, high triglycerides, or hyperglycemia had a higher likelihood of LUTS/BPH than their counterparts (P<0.001). However, the probability of LUTS/BPH in hypertensive patients remained similar to that in non-hypertensive patients (P>0.05). Conclusions Aging Chinese males with MetS had a higher probability of LUTS/BPH. Also, patients with low HDL, abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, or hyperglycemia had an increased risk of LUTS/BPH; however, this was not the case for hypertensive patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impacts of statin treatment on the risk of benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) progression in hyperlipidemia patients. METHODS Newly diagnosed hyperlipidemia patients (n = 7961), identified from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, were divided into four statin cohorts (statin use >365 days, n = 1604; statin use 181-365 days, n = 813; statin use 91-180 days, n = 739; and statin use 31-90 days, n = 713) and one control cohort (cohort that used no statins, n = 4092). Study endpoint was occurrence of BPE progression (BPE diagnosis plus receiving BPE-related medications or surgery). Relative risks of BPE progression in the statin cohorts compared to the control cohort were analyzed. RESULTS Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses demonstrated that BPE progression risk in the cohort used statins for >365 days was significantly lower than the control cohort (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.70, 95% confidence interval: 0.58 ∼ 0.85, p < .001). However, BPE progression risks of the other three statin cohorts did not significantly differ from the control cohort. Trend analysis revealed that the effects of statin treatment on decreasing BPE progression risk were significantly related to statin treatment duration (p = .001). CONCLUSIONS Hyperlipidemia patients with long-term statin treatment (more than 365 days) are associated with a reduced risk of BPE progression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association between asthma and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has rarely been explored. We investigated whether male asthmatic patients had an increased risk of BPH by conducting this retrospective nationwide population-based study. METHODS We utilized data derived from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) in Taiwan. A total of 9778 male patients aged >40 years who were newly diagnosed with asthma between 2000 and 2006 were included in the asthma group. Male enrollees without asthma were selected as the non-asthma group from the same database. Both the groups were followed up until the end of 2013. We performed Cox proportional hazard regression analysis to estimate the risk of BPH and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in the male patients with asthma compared with that in those without asthma. RESULTS The risk of BPH and TURP in the asthma group was 1.40-fold (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.30-1.42) and 1.30-fold (95% CI= 1.31-1.50) higher than that in the non-asthma group, respectively, after adjusting for comorbidities, relevant medications and number of annual outpatient visits. CONCLUSIONS The male patients with asthma were found to have a higher risk of BPH than did those without asthma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between non-neurogenic lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and frailty among treatment-seeking older men. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of male patients age 65 years and older presenting to an academic urology practice between December 2015 and March 2019. Men with cancer, neurologic disease, indwelling catheter, or continuous leakage were excluded. Participants completed a Timed-Up-and-Go-Test (TUGT) which was used to categorize men as fast (≤10 seconds), intermediate (11-14 seconds), or slow (≥15 seconds). Participants with the following diagnoses were identified using billing codes extracted from the electronic medical record: overactive bladder (OAB), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), mixed OAB/BPH, or non-LUTS urologic condition. Multivariable associations were evaluated using multinomial logistic regression models adjusted for age, race, and body mass index. RESULTS Among 2206 men included in our sample, 64% were fast (mean TUGT time: 8.3 ± 1.2 seconds), 25% were intermediate (mean TUGT time: 12.0 ± 1.0 seconds), and 11% were slow (mean TUGT time: 18.5 ± 4.7 seconds). Subjects with slow TUGT times were more likely to be older, non-White, and have LUTS. Compared to non-LUTS conditions, OAB (odds ratio [OR] = 2.62, 95% CI 1.74, 3.93), BPH (OR = 1.70, 95% 1.14, 2.55), and mixed OAB/BPH (OR = 1.82, 95% 1.14, 2.92) were all associated with increased odds of slow TUGT time. LUTS diagnosis was not significantly associated with intermediate TUGT time. CONCLUSION LUTS diagnosis, particularly OAB, is associated with increased odds of slow TUGT time, a surrogate of frailty, compared to non-LUTS conditions. Frailty is common among older men with LUTS and should be considered during the initial urological evaluation.

Improvement of the symptoms of lower urinary tract and sexual dysfunction with tadalafil and solifenacin after the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with dutasteride. Prostate Int 2020; 8:78-84. [PMID: 32647644 PMCID: PMC7335965 DOI: 10.1016/j.prnil.2019.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2019] [Revised: 10/29/2019] [Accepted: 11/18/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The aim of this research is to study the influence of simultaneous taking of tadalafil and solifenacin in standard and double dosage on the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and sexual dysfunction in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia after the course of dutasteride. Materials and methods The research included 326 patients older than 50 years with benign prostatic hyperplasia coupled with LUTS and sexual dysfunction having undergone the course of treatment with dutasteride. After random division into three groups, patients from the Group A (n = 107) got tadalafil 5 mg/d as monotherapy, from the Group В (n = 107) got tadalafil 5 mg/d and solifenacin 10 mg/d, and from the Group С (n = 112) got tadalafil 5 mg/d and solifenacin 20 mg/d. The duration of treatment was 12 weeks. The rating of sexual function was made with the questionnaires International Index of Erectile Function and other. Results The results of rating of sexual function with the questionnaires MSHQ-EjD and International Index of Erectile Function correlated among themselves. According to MSHQ-EjD, overall rating of the sexual function increased in each of the three groups (A: 67.9 (12.4)/91.5 (10.4), P ≤ 0.05; B: 72.4 (14.5)/102.6 (16.9), P ≤ 0.05; C: 76.6 (16.3)/109.6 (15.6), P ≤ 0.05). The level of hyperactivity symptoms decreased in Groups В and С (В: urgency −2.9 (0.7)/1.1 (0.6), P ≤ 0.05; nocturia 2.7 (1.0)/0.7 (0.5), P ≤ 0.05; C: urgency −2.5 (0.5)/0.8 (0.6), P ≤ 0.05; nocturia −2.8 (0.6)/1.0 (0.5), P ≤ 0.05), and it did not change in the Group A. Conclusions The use of tadalafil as monotherapy significantly improves the sexual function but does not affect overactive bladder symptoms. The combination therapy of tadalafil and solifenacin leads to dramatic improvement of sexual function and reversibility of detrusor hyperactivity symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both periodontal disease and benign prostatic hyperplasia are age-related diseases that affect millions of people worldwide. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the association between periodontal disease and the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia. METHODS A total of 4930 participants were selected from an available health examination that was carried out in 2017, only males were considered for further analysis. All eligible males were divided into benign prostatic hyperplasia and normal groups, the benign prostatic hyperplasia group was then divided into prostate volume ≤ 60 g and > 60 g subgroups; all their periodontal status was extracted and then into normal (CPI score of 0), periodontal disease (CPI score between 1 and 4), and periodontitis (CPI score between 3 and 4) groups. The correlation between periodontal disease and benign prostatic hyperplasia was investigated using logistic regression analyses and greedy matching case-control analysis. Subgroup analysis based on prostate volume was also performed. All analyses were conducted with SAS 9.4 software. RESULTS A total of 2171 males were selected for this analysis. The presence of periodontal disease significantly increased the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia by 1.68 times (OR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.26-2.24), and individuals with periodontitis showed a higher risk (OR = 4.18, 95% CI: 2.75-6.35). In addition, among matched cases and controls, this association remained robust (periodontal disease: OR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.30-2.64; periodontitis: OR = 4.83, 95% CI: 2.57-9.07). Subgroup analysis revealed that periodontal disease significantly increased benign prostate hyperplasia risk as well (for prostate volume ≤ 60 g: OR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.22-2.20; for volume > 60 g: OR = 2.17, 95% CI: 1.04-4.53), and there was a higher risk in the group with a prostate volume greater than 60 g. CONCLUSION Periodontal disease is significantly and positively associated with an increased risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Further validation studies should be performed to explore the relationship between periodontal treatment and benign prostate hyperplasia.

Aging (Albany NY) 2019; 11:5570-5578. [PMID: 31412319 PMCID: PMC6710068 DOI: 10.18632/aging.102138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2019] [Accepted: 07/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
This study determined whether or not benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) is involved in inflammatory responses, apoptosis, and the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT3)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)- and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-mediated oxidative stress pathways. Forty rats were divided into four groups: control; HFD; testosterone; and HFD+testosterone. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was used to assess histologic changes. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot analysis were used to detect levels of related proteins. Compared with the control group, the prostate levels of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), malondialdehyde (MDA), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) were significantly increased, while the levels of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were decreased. The TNF-κB, Bcl-2, and caspase-3 levels were increased, while the Bax level was markedly decreased. The cytoplasmic expression of STAT3 and NF-κB was increased, while the nuclear expression of Nrf2 was markedly decreased compared with the control group. In summary, our results demonstrated that a long-term HFD might cause changes in inflammatory responses, apoptosis, and oxidative stress, thus contributing to prostatic hyperplasia. The underlying mechanisms might be related to the STAT3/NF-κB- and Nrf2-mediated oxidative stress pathway.

Abstract
Objective: Many published studies have investigated the association between CYP17 rs743572 polymorphism and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) susceptibility but have yielded inconsistent results. Hence, we performed this meta-analysis using the multivariate statistic method to address a more precise association. Methods: Case-control or cohort studies with adequate genotype distribution or minor allele frequency (MAF) were identified by searching the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases up to December, 2018. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the association between CYP17 rs743572 polymorphism and BPH susceptibility. Results: Pooled MAFs of 13 studies were 37% in Caucasians and 56% in Orientals, respectively. Pooled results of 8 studies suggested that CYP17 rs743572 was not associated with the BPH susceptibility in the overall population (OR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.80–1.20 for A2 vs. A1; OR = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.79–1.25 for A1/A2 vs. A1/A1; OR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.62–1.53 for A2/A2 vs. A1/A1). Sensitivity analysis showed the results were robust. Subgroup analysis based on ethnicity suggested that, in Orientals, A2 allele carriers had a 28% lower risk of developing BPH compared with A1 allele carriers, and the risk of BPH is 47% lower in A2/A2 genotype carriers compared with A1/A1 genotype carriers. No significant association was observed in Caucasians. Conclusion: In conclusion, our study indicates a negative association between CYP17 and BPH in Orientals. However, due to limited sample size, the conclusion should be interpreted with caution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This retrospective cohort study evaluated the association between gout and the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia among men by using data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. METHODS Population-based representative insurance (outpatient and inpatient) claims data of 29,269 patients with gout and 29,269 matched patients without gout (1:1 ratio) for the period of 1997-2010 in Taiwan were identified. The association between gout and benign prostatic hyperplasia was evaluated using the Cox proportional hazards model. The associations of age by gout and gout phenotypes with benign prostatic hyperplasia risk were estimated. RESULTS Patients with gout had a higher incidence rate of benign prostatic hyperplasia than those in the matched gout-free group (19.62 vs. 10.11 events per 1000 person-years). Compared with the gout-free group, the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence intervals (CIs)) for benign prostatic hyperplasia were 1.30 (1.24-1.36). The gout-to-benign prostatic hyperplasia association was modified by age (Pinteraction < 0.0001) in gout patients the age groups of 20-40 years (adjusted HR 2.74, P < 0.0001) and 41-60 years (adjusted HR 1.39, P < 0.0001) but not in the age group of >60 years (adjusted HR 1.07, P = 0.063). Compared with gouty tophi, a higher risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia was noted in gouty nephropathy (adjusted HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.12-1.50). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that male gout is positively related to benign prostatic hyperplasia, particularly in young gout patients and those with gouty nephropathy.
