Selective secretion of annexin 1, a protein without a signal sequence, by the human prostate gland

As previously reported (1, 2) phosphorylcholine (PC) is a specific substrate for prostatatic acid phosphatase (PAP) as opposed to other acid phosphatases, e.g., lysosomal acid phosphatase. The specificity of PC for PAP is due to the pentavalent nitrogen in PC, a feature that renders PC resistant to hydrolysis by all other acid phosphatases. Detailed comparative cytochemical results in rat tissues are in press. This report deals with ultracytochemical results applying the method to normal and pathological human prostate gland.Fresh human prostate was obtained from 7 patients having transurethral resections or radical prostatectomies. The tissue was fixed in 3% glutaraldehyde- 0.1 M cacodylate buffer (pH 7.4) for 15 min, sectioned at 50 μm on a Sorvall TC-2 tissue sectioner, refixed for a total of 2 hr, and rinsed overnight in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer (pH 7.4)-7.5% sucrose.

The Subject

The subject of this paper is a portion of a gland which, from the smallness of its size, and the obscurity of its situation, has hitherto escaped observation; and were it not for the change produced in it by disease, which sometimes enlarges it so much that it shuts up the urinary canal, it would, Mr. Home says, be little deserving of attention. It is well known that the prostate gland is, in the latter periods of life, liable to enlarge; in that case there is frequently a nipple-like projection, which forms tumours, of different sizes, in the cavity of the bladder. These tumours have engaged the attention of surgeons from the time of Morgagni to the present day; but the peculiarities in the natural conformation of the gland which dispose it to form these tumours, have never been examined.
