Transcriptional differences between the peripheral and the transcription zone of the prostate

ABSTRACT: The occurrence of cancer is not equally distributed across the three zones of the prostate gland; the peripheral (PZ), central and transition zones (TZ). The majority (~70%) of diagnosed prostate cancer (PCa) is found in the PZ compared to the TZ. In this study we comprehensively measure whole genome expression by next-generation sequencing of the PZ and TZ from prostate tissue. Our aim was to identify the molecular and metabolic differences between the two zones that could underlie the differential susceptibility to PCa incidence. Following histological assessment of tissue adjacent to the biopsies used for RNAsequencing we identified 4 out of the 18 samples to be cancerous. Although these are included in the ArrayExpress submission, they were not included in the final analysis of data t
