medicine | in prostatic malignancy, activity of arylsulfatase B declines. Arylsulfatase B may be useful as a biomarker of prostate cancer. In 82% of paired cases, the biochemical recurrences show lower arylsulfatase B immunostaining at the time of prostatectomy. Arylsulfatase B immunostaining is inversely associated with Gleason scores for epithelial and stromal compartments separately and in combination. Arylsulfatase B activity is significantly less in the malignant compared to normal tissue. In association with reduced arylsulfatase B activity, total sulfated glycosaminoglycans and chondroitin-4-sulfate content are increased in the malignant prostatic tissue, and the chondroitin-4-sulfate containing matrix proteoglycan versican is also increased | Homo sapiens |
