Circumstantial evidences indicate that zinc may have an important role in the prostate. Total zinc levels in the prostate are 10 times higher than in other soft tissues. Zinc concentration in prostate epithethial cancer cells are decreased significantly. Effect of zinc supplementation on prevention and treatment of prostate cancer in humans have yielded controversial results. No studies have been reported in animal models to show the effect of zinc supplementation on prevention of prostatic cancer, thus far. In this study, we have examined the effect of zinc supplementation on development of prostatic cancer in a TRAMP mouse model. Results from our study indicate that dietary zinc plays an important role in prostate carcinogenesis. Tumor weights were significantly higher when the dietary zinc intake was either deficient or high in comparison to normal zinc intake level, suggesting that an optimal dietary zinc intake may play a protective role against prostate cancer. Further, our studies also showed decreased IGF-1 and IGF-1/IGFBP-3 ratio in normal zinc supplemented animals, suggesting that zinc may modulate IGF-1 metabolism in relation to carcinogenesis. We conclude that optimal prostate zinc concentration has a protective role against cancer.
