The immunology of the prostate has recently developed into a new field of research in urology. Although we do not yet understand why the leukocyte population increases, we know that most resected prostate tissue shows signs of an inflammatory reaction. Different types of inflammation exist, and must be distinguished carefully according to distribution and location of leukocytes and histology of the surrounding tissue. This article reviews recent findings and discusses the complex mechanisms involved in the prostatic inflammatory response. The roles of estrogen, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-15, and IL-17 are examined.
前列腺免疫学最近已发展成为泌尿外科一个新的研究领域。尽管我们尚不清楚白细胞数量为何增加,但我们知道大多数切除的前列腺组织都显示出炎症反应的迹象。存在不同类型的炎症,必须根据白细胞的分布和位置以及周围组织的组织学进行仔细区分。本文综述了近期的研究发现,并讨论了前列腺炎症反应中涉及的复杂机制。研究了雌激素、白细胞介素(IL)-6、IL-8、IL-15和IL-17的作用。
