Popis: Two electrophoretically distinguishable isoforms of Dj-1 protein have been identified in a proteomic study of tissue specimens obtained from patients with confirmed prostate cancer (PCa) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Dj-1 was also found in the cell lines PC-3, DU-145, LNCaP, BPH-1, and the lowest level of Dj-1 was found in BPH-1. An immunochemical study (ELISA) of serum levels of Dj-1, Bcl-2, IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 proteins revealed statistically significant differences between these two groups of patients only for Dj-1 (p = 0.004, the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test). These data suggest that Dj-1 protein is a perspective candidate biomarker for PCa.
