| Research Abstract |
Using Cre-loxP systems, we created prostate-specific PTEN knockout mice and prostate-specific PTEN/TP53 mice. We are doing the transplantation of bone marrow from GFP-mice. To establish the bone marrow transplantation in mice, we first create the chimera rats which have the transplantion of bone marrow cells derived from GFP rat. After the injury to the prostate by the inflammation or the castration, the prostate of chimera rats were analyzed histologically. We confirmed the myelo-derived stromal cells were infiltrated into the prostate epithelial layers and stroma.
