No differences in miRNA expression in the stroma of ERG+ and ERG- prostate cancers
Pol J Pathol. 2023;74(4):265-270. doi: 10.5114/pjp.2023.134304.ABSTRACTProstate cancer (PC) is one of the most common cancers in males. A significant proportion of PCs bear TMPRSS2-ETS translocation and overexpress ERG transcription factor, allowing classification into ERG+ and ERG- groups, which differ in several features including the tumor microenvironment. The aim of the study was to verify whether they differ in expression of the miRNA in the microenvironment. The material consisted of 150 radical prostatectomies. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for ERG was done using a routine method. FISH for TMPRSS2-ETS translocation wa...
