Previous studies have provided evidence that the rat ventral prostate grows primarily, if not exclusively, at its distal tips. However, as yet there have been no analyses in which individual cells in defined regions of the prostatic ductal system have been resolved and quantified. Moreover, the possibility that the prostate might grow differently at different times of postnatal development has received little attention.Our objectives were to identify and quantify the proliferating epithelial and stromal cells in defined regions of the rat ventral prostate during its postnatal development. To this end,3H-thymidine was administered in vivo to rats of ages 10−60 days. A dissection technique was then used by which the distal, intermediate, and proximal segments of the prostatic ductal system were physically isolated from each other without removing the stromal tissue. Longitudinal sections of these segments were examined for cellular composition and DNA synthetic activity. Regional heterogeneity with respect to cell composition and cell proliferation was seen. In rats of all ages, DNA synthetic activity was seen in epithelial and stromal cells throughout the prostate, rather than only in the distal segment. At Days 10 and 20, significantly higher percentages of epithelial and stromal cells were labeled in the distal than in the proximal segments; but at Days 45 and 60, the percentages of labeled epithelial and stromal cells in the distal, intermediate, and proximal segments were similar. Thus, in all segments, and at all ages, substantial labeling was seen throughout the prostate. These data suggest that the prostate grows in both length and width throughout postnatal development, reminiscent of the growth of a tree.
