This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. It is generally accepted that high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) is a precancerous lesion. Several groups, including ours, have demonstrated that the majority of HGPIN lesions have reduced or absent levels of annexins (ANX) I and II proteins. However, a causative link between the reduced expression of annexins and HGPIN has not been established. To investigate this possibility we have silenced ANX I or II expression in benign prostatic epithelial cells and examined the glandular architecture and cellular polarity in 3-dimentional (3-D) culture. To determine if silencing ANX I and II expression in normal prostatic epithelial cells alters development of acinar structures in 3-D culture, we will investigate 3-D structures by using confocal laser scanning microscopy (LSM), multiphoton microscopy (MPM) and MPM/optical coherence tomography (OCT) system

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。高级别前列腺上皮内瘤变（HGPIN）是一种癌前病变。包括我们在内的几个研究小组已经证明，大多数HGPIN病变的膜联蛋白（ANX）I和II蛋白水平降低或缺失。然而，尚未建立膜联蛋白和HGPIN表达减少之间的因果关系。为了研究这种可能性，我们沉默了ANX I或II在良性前列腺上皮细胞中的表达，并在三维（3-D）培养中检查了腺体结构和细胞极性。为了确定正常前列腺上皮细胞中ANX I和II表达的沉默是否改变了3-D培养中腺泡结构的发育，我们将通过使用共聚焦激光扫描显微镜（LSM）、多光子显微镜（MPM）和MPM/光学相干断层扫描（OCT）系统研究3-D结构
