• Objective To study expression of NDRG3 in prostatic mesenchyma and effect of exogenous NDRG3 on prostatic stromal cells. Methods Immunohistochemical analysis was used to check expression of NDRG3 in prostate mesnenchyma. The WPMY-1 prostate immortalized mesenchyma cell line was stably-transfected with a NDRG3 gene expression vector. The NDRG3-stable transfected WPMY-1 sublines were studied along with parental and empty vector transfected WPMY-1 cells as controls. RT-PCR technology was applied to identity downstream gene expression under regulation of NDRG3 expression. Results Expression of DNRG3 was observed in prostate cancer mesenchyma, over-expression of NDRG3 in WPMY-1 cell up-regulated expression of chemotatic factors-CXCL3 and CXCL5. Conclusion Expression of stromal NDRG3 in prostate cancer specimens is significantly higher than that in benign prostatic hypertrophy （BPH） sample. There is a remarkable difference between the two groups of samples, NDRG3 may be related to angiogenesis in prostatic mesenchyma.
