Abstract:
Functional cytodifferentiation of seminal vesicle epithelium was investigated in tissue recombinants. Neonatal rat and mouse seminal vesicles were separated into epithelium and mesenchyme using trypsin. Epithelium and mesenchyme were then recombined in vitro to form interspecific rat/mouse homotypic recombinants. Growth as renal grafts in adult male athymic mice resulted in seminal vesicle morphogenesis in 70% of the recombinants (the remaining 30% failed to grow). Functional cytodifferentiation was judged by the expression of the major androgen-dependent secretory proteins characteristic of the seminal vesicles of adult rats and mice. Antibodies specific for each of these proteins were used to screen tissue sections by immunocytochemistry and to probe protein extracts by immunoblotting techniques. The heterospecific recombinants synthesized the full range of seminal vesicle secretory proteins that typifies the species providing the epithelium of the recombinant, not the mesenchyme. There was little functional variation between individual recombinants. The time course of development corresponded to that of intact neonatal seminal vesicles grown under the same conditions. Morphogenesis and functional cytodifferentiation were not evident after one week, but were well advanced after two weeks. Seminal vesicle recombinants grown for three weeks were indistinguishable morphologically and functionally from normal adult seminal vesicles. In addition, the ability of adult seminal vesicle epithelium to be induced to proliferate was examined. In association with neonatal seminal vesicle mesenchyme, the epithelium of the adult seminal vesicle proliferated and retained its normal functional activity. Thus, seminal vesicle functional cytodifferentiation can be faithfully reproduced in homotypic tissue recombinants. The methods used in this study will be used to investigate seminal vesicle development in instructive inductions of heterotypic epithelia.

Abstract:
Seminal vesicles were collected from 60 heads of Bulls which butchered in slaughter house (RPH) Yogyakarta. The aims of this study are knowing the relationship between body weight, age, fluids volume and concentration of prostaglandin F2 α (PGF2α) in seminal vesicle of beef cattle. Those seminal vesicles were gathered from bulls which recorded its body weight and age then measured its seminal vesicles for weight, fluids volume and PGF2α levels. The PGF2α level was measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay. Statistical analysis was performed using one way – analysis of varian, regression and correlation with P<0.05. Body weight of bulls showed positive correlation with the weight of seminal vesicle and its fluids volume. However, PGF2α levels were not correlated with the body weight of cattle. Weight of seminal vesicles also exhibited positive correlation with volume of vesicle fluids but no correlation with PGF2α levels. Based on the age of bulls, there were no correlation withthe weight of seminal vesicles, seminal fluids volume and PGF2α levels. Those result indicated that the weight and fluids volume were affected by the body weight of bulls altough the PGF2α levels have a standard of developmentwhich seems affected by other factors such as concentration of androgen hormone.

Abstract:
The origin of chemically induced male accessory sex gland tumors was studied in Lobund-Wistar rats. Rats were treated at the age of 3 months with a single intravenous injection of 30 mg N-nitrosomethylurea (NMU)/kg body weight and given subcutaneous silastic implants filled with 40 mg testosterone propionate. Previous reports described a high incidence of prostate carcinomas in these rats with this treatment protocol. Additional animal groups included untreated controls, rats that received only an injection of 30 mg NMU/kg, and rats that were subjected to ablation of the seminal vesicle lobes prior to the treatment with NMU and testosterone. Three to 14 rats per group were sacrificed 4 to 10 months after NMU treatment and all remaining rats after 12 months. Twenty-four additional rats died or became moribund during the study. All rats were necropsied and the dorsolateral and ventral prostate and seminal vesicles with coagulating gland (anterior prostate) were examined histologically according to a standardized protocol. Lesions detected included atypical hyperplasia in all glands (resembling prostate intraepithelial neoplasia of human beings), adenomas in seminal vesicles only, and early carcinomas and adenocarcinomas in seminal vesicles and coagulating gland. Early carcinomas of the seminal vesicle, microscopically small and with invasion of the lamina propria and/or tunica muscularis, were detected as rapidly as 4 months after treatment. The vast majority (>95%) of the grossly visible nodules/masses originated from the seminal vesicles. Testosterone treatment enhanced occurrence and increased the incidence of all lesions, particularly of seminal vesicle adenocarcinomas, from 30% (7/23) to 64% (21/33). Coagulating gland tumors were found in 21% (7/33) of the rats. Ablation of the seminal vesicle lobes reduced the incidence of seminal vesicle adenocarcinomas to 11% (3/29), and these tumors arose from tissues remaining within the parenchyma of the seminal vesicle/prostate complex after ablation. Thus, NMU-induced and testosterone-promoted male sex gland tumors of the Lobund-Wistar rat arise almost exclusively in the seminal vesicles and coagulating gland (anterior prostate), are highly invasive in seminal vesicles before attaining a grossly visible size, and progress rapidly within 4 months, spreading to adjacent tissues and other organs.

Abstract:
Seminal vesicles play an important role in the male reproductive system, producing seminal fluid and thus adequate environment for sperm. However, mechanisms underlying secretory functions of the seminal vesicles’ epithelium have not been defined yet. The aim of the present study was to characterize expression and immunolocalization of selected membrane transporters and carriers in the seminal vesicles. The study included biopsy specimens collected from non-affected parts of seminal vesicles from 53 patients of Caucasian origin subjected for prostatectomy. RT-PCR was used to define expression of 15 genes coding for ABC-family and 37 genes encoding 37 SLC-family transporters/carriers. Immunohistochemistry was used to define localization of 6 transporters. In the seminal vesicles, the following membrane transporters and carriers were defined: ABCA1, ABCB1, ABCB5, ABCB6, ABCC1, ABCC2, ABCC3, ABCC4, ABCC5, ABCC6, ABCG2, SLC01C1, SLC02B1, SLC04A1, SLC04C1, SLC10A1, SLC15A1, SLC15A2, SLC16A1, SLC16A3, SLC19A1, SLC22A1, SLC22A3, SLC22A11, SLC22A18, SLC22A4, SLC22A5, SLC28A1, SLC2A9, SLC33A1, SLC47A1, SLC47A2, SLC51A, SLC51B, SLC7A5, SLC7A6. Age-dependent expression was evidenced for ABCB1, ABCG2, SLC04C1, SLC15A1, SLC16A1, SLC22A11, SLC22A18, SLC47A1 and SLC47A2. ABCG2, P-gp, MRP1, MRP3, MCT1 and LAT1 were localized in the apical membrane and P-gp in the basolateral membrane of the seminal vesicle epithelium. The expression of the membrane transporters and carriers in the seminal vesicle epithelium confirms its secretory and barrier functions.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: In rats, the ventral prostate and seminal vesicles produce distinct sets of proteins whose functions and tissue‐specific regulation by androgens remain unclear. We have utilized the genes encoding the major secretory protein of seminal vesicles, SVS IV, and the C3 subunit of prostatein of the ventral prostate to study how the nuclear matrix might determine their tissue‐specific gene expression. Nuclear matrix proteins were prepared from purified nuclei with DNase and 2 M NaCl, separated in SDS gels, and transferred onto membranes for DNA‐binding (southwestern) and immunological (western) analyses. The 5′ region of the SVS IV gene (SVS IV‐7S) bound to a 45,000‐kDa molecular‐weight protein band in the nuclear matrix of seminal vesicles but not to that of ventral prostate, kidney, or liver. Sequencing revealed that this band was a seminal‐vesicle secretory protein, SVS II, whose identity was confirmed with an anti‐SVS II antiserum in western blots. Actin‐like protein, similar in mobility to SVS II, was detected in seminal‐vesicle and ventral prostate nuclear matrix, but not in seminal‐vesicle fluid. Reducing agent (10 mM dithiothreitol) and acidic (pH 6.5) buffer did not eliminate SVS II, but isolation of nuclear matrices with ammonium sulfate, nucleases, and urea decreased SVS II immunoreactivity and removed actin‐like protein. SVS II binding to SVS IV‐7S DNA was greater than its binding to either a comparable fragment of the C3 gene or linearized pUC‐19 plasmid, and it was not eliminated by a 100‐fold competition. When seminal‐vesicle fluid was mixed with rat liver, some SVS II co‐isolated with the nuclear‐matrix proteins, indicating that nonspecific interactions contribute to its association with the nucleo‐skeleton. However, these interactions may not represent the intracellular behavior of SVS II in seminal‐vesicle epithelium. Sequence comparisons indicate significant homologies between SVS II and some other seminal proteins, including bovine caltrin, which, under the name seminalplasmin, is known to possess antimicrobial activity. Collectively, these data suggest that in addition to its known functions, SVS II may also bind extraneous DNA in seminal fluid. Additionally, SVS II may participate as a structural component in the organization of a tissue‐specific seminal‐vesicle nuclear matrix.

Abstract:
SummaryA recessive autosomal mutation has been found in the CXBI/ByEss recombinant-inbred line but in neither of the parental strains, C57BL/6ByEss and BALB/cByEss. Its presence in the CXBI/ByJax and CXBI/ByLac sublines suggests an origin early in inbreeding. The locus, seminal vesicle shape (svs), appears to be linked to the albino locus on chromosome 7. The homozygote has seminal vesicles with a smooth tubular external appearance. In segregating crosses homozygotes had slightly lighter seminal vesicles but the weights of other androgen target organs were not reduced. Exogenous testosterone increased the size of the seminal vesicles but did not alter their shape. The mutation did not affect the pattern of proteins on SDS–acrylamide gel electrophoresis, which did differ between the parental strains. The locus affecting a 27000 Da protein has provisionally been assigned the symbolsvp-4.

Abstract:
In general, sperm produced in the testis are moved into the seminal vesicle via the vas deferens in insects, where they are stored. How this sperm movement is controlled is less well understood in locusts or grasshoppers. In this study, the effects of age, phase variation and pheromones on male sperm storage were investigated in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Forskål). In this locust, a pair of ducts, the vasa deferentia, connect the testes to a pair of the long, slender seminal vesicles that are folded approximately thirty times, and where the sperm are stored. We found that phase variation affected the level of sperm storage in the seminal vesicle. Moreover, adult males that detected pheromones emitted by mature adult males showed enhanced sperm storage compared with males that received the pheromones emitted from nymphs: The former, adult male pheromones are known to promote sexual maturation of immature adults of both sexes, whereas the latter, nymphal pheromones delay sexual maturation. Most mature adult males had much sperm in the vasa deferentia at all times examined, suggesting daily sperm movement from the testes to the seminal vesicles via the vasa deferentia. As adult males aged, sperm were accumulated from the proximal part to the distal end of the seminal vesicle. Many sperm remained in the seminal vesicle after mating. These results suggest that young or new sperm located near the proximal part of the seminal vesicle could be used for mating, whereas old sperm not used for mating are stored in the distal part of the seminal vesicle.

Abstract:
Abstract To inhibit local recurrence of rectal cancer, it is very important to ensure that there is a sufficient circumferential resection margin. We evaluated pathology studies of combined radical resection of seminal vesicles in the treatment of rectal cancer. We analyzed data from 7 cases of combined radical resection of the seminal vesicle in the treatment of rectal cancer; we also analyzed data from 35 control cases without seminal vesicle resection. The circumferential resection margin averaged 5.97 mm for cases that had combined radical resection of the seminal vesicle, and this was significantly longer than for cases without resection (P &lt; 0.001). Local recurrence was not seen in cases that had combined radical resection of the seminal vesicle, whereas 3 cases (5.9%) occurred in the group that did not undergo resection. Combined radical resection of the seminal vesicle in patients with rectal cancer ensures that the distance of the circumferential resection margin is sufficient to inhibit local recurrence.

Abstract:
Abstract Context.—We have observed intraluminal crystalloid morphology in seminal vesicles that is superficially similar to that seen in prostate neoplasia, but found little information on such morphology in the literature. Design.—Two hundred fifty-three prostate specimens (163 needle biopsies, 75 radical prostatectomies with prostate carcinoma, 11 prostates from autopsy, and 4 cystoprostatectomies without prostate carcinoma) were examined for seminal vesicle secretions, which were categorized as (a) dense platelike inspissated, (b) fluidlike, (c) crystalloid morphology, and (d) absent. Histochemical stains (periodic acid–Schiff with and without diastase, Alcian blue at pH 2.5, and mucicarmine) were performed to characterize the nature of secretions. Results.—Proteinaceous secretions were identified in 82% of seminal vesicles examined. Of these, 61% had predominantly dense, platelike, inspissated secretions, 15% had predominantly fluidlike secretions, and 24% had predominantly crystalloid morphology. Although in some cases the crystalloid morphology resembled that of prostatic intraluminal crystalloids, the seminal vesicle crystalloids differed in that they were invariably multiple, had curved edges, and had varied forms (elliptical, cylindrical, rodlike, and rectangular). Seventy-one percent of seminal vesicle crystalloids were associated with dense, platelike, inspissated secretions and appeared to be created by fracturing within platelike secretions. There was no relationship between seminal vesicle crystalloid morphology and associated malignancy in the prostate gland, as it was seen in 24% of cases with prostate carcinoma and 25% of cases without prostate carcinoma (P = 1.0000). Fluidlike secretions were positive for Alcian blue (pH 2.5) and mucicarmine, whereas dense platelike secretions and crystalloid morphology were negative for Alcian blue (pH 2.5) and mucicarmine. Conclusions.—Seminal vesicle secretions are fairly common and, when fluidlike, are composed of acid mucopolysaccharides. Inspissation of secretions appears to be associated with loss of acidity, presumably resulting in dense platelike secretions and crystallization. Awareness of both the crystalloid morphology in seminal vesicle tissue and the distinguishing features from prostatic crystalloids may be important while interpreting prostate needle biopsies in which seminal vesicle epithelium may be confused for prostate carcinoma because of a small acinar morphology with accompanying cytologic atypia and crystalloid morphology.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] Intracellular communication between osteoclasts and osteoblasts is imperative to maintain bone integrity. A myriad of molecules are responsible for regulating osteoblast and osteoclast activity. In particular, it is well documented that osteoblast-derived factors are crucial in directly controlling osteoclast formation and function. Since bone formation is coupled to bone resorption, it would be expected that osteoclasts also have some role in regulating the growth and function of osteoblast cells. However, despite extensive research upon osteoclast and osteoblast biology, the mechanisms by which osteoclasts regulate osteoblast growth and function is not well understood. In an attempt to further elucidate the mechanisms by which osteoclasts and osteoblasts communicate, the technique of subtractive hybridisation was used to identify a novel osteoclastderived factor identical to that of mouse Seminal Vesicle Secretion VII (SVS VII). Previous characterisation of the gene in bone demonstrated that SVS VII was abundantly and specifically expressed by mature osteoclasts (Phan, 2004). Additional research hinted that SVS VII acted as a novel osteoclast-derived factor, that by paracrine mechanisms, targeted osteoblast function (Phan, 2004). However, it remained open as to whether the SVS VII molecule did uniquely target the osteoblast, and whether this interaction influenced bone formation in vivo. Therefore, this thesis endeavoured to functionally characterise the role of the SVS VII molecule in the bone environment. ... Further work is needed to identigy a clear consensus binding sequence, to determine the specificity of the interaction between SVS VII protein and each phage clone, and to isolate a specific binding partner for SVS VII. In conclusion, the studies of this thesis sought to characterise the significance of SVS VII expression by mature osteoclasts, relative to its effects on osteoblast behaviour, but failed to conclusively determine a role for SVS VII in bone. Given that the effects of SVS VII on in vitro osteoblast activity and function are minimal, it is doubtful that SVS VII primarily acts as a paracrine factor integral to osteoblast function. Therefore, these findings conflict with those presented previously (Phan, 2004). However, it was demonstrated that SVS VII treatment was associated with in vivo effect on the skeleton, suggesting that SVS VII may target other elements of the bone microenvironment. Via mechanisms not yet understood, which possibly involves additional factors of the bone 11 extracellular matrix, SVS VII may target a subset of osteoprogenitor cells within the bone environment and act to regulate their proliferation. Therefore, SVS VII may enhance osteogenic precursor cell number at sites of bone formation which would increase the pool of cells that can differentiate down the osteoblast linage and contribute to bone formation. In this regard, SVS VII might function in a manner homologous to the Ly-6 molecule Sca-1 and act as an important factor that maintains a balance between the bone formation and resorption process. Clearly, more work focusing on alternative facets of bone biology is needed to identify whether there is a significant role for SVS VII in skeletal tissue.

Abstract:

Prostasomes are submicron-sized, membrane-bound organelles produced by the epithelial cells of the prostate and normally found in the secretion in the gland ducts. Their physiological role is in the promotion of sperm-function in human reproduction. This thesis contains four papers dealing with the production of prostasomes and some possible applications in clinical urology of the prostasome.

Paper I and II provided an ultrastructural description of the synthesis, storage and secretion of prostasomes in benign as well as in malignant tissue. Most notable were the extracellular appearances of prostasomes in metastatic lesions whereby the prostasomes become exposed to the immune system of the patient. This supported findings in earlier studies in which patients with advanced prostate cancer had elevated levels of anti-prostasome antibodies. The results of paper III reinforced the view of the prostate-unique origin of the prostasome. In particular, there were no indications in SDS-PAGE patterns or flow-cytometric studies of material from seminal vesicle secretion that it contained components that could be associated with a production of prostasomes.

Some possible clinical functions of the prostasomes were investigated in paper IV. Exposure of prostasomes to the immune system through mechanical and thermal trauma to the prostate did not induce an evident formation of anti-prostasome autoantibodies. Furthermore, the serum levels of anti-prostasome antibodies registered by assays with preparations of prostasomes from seminal plasma as antigen did not correlate with existing prostate cancer. Seminal prostasomes seemed not to function as substitute markers for prostate cancer in the test kit used. A possible explanation could be underestimated differences in antigen properties between seminal or prostate gland-derived prostasomes and prostasomes from tumor tissue.

Abstract:
An intra-planner study has been carried out to compare planning choices among qualified professionals when utilising Pareto-guided automated planning (PGAP) navigation. PGAP was used to calibrate planning goal weights of a protocol-based automatic iterative optimisation automated planning system. Four qualified professionals (Participant A-D) navigated solutions for eight prostate seminal vesicle (PSV) patient cases using PGAP. Plans were based on an existing clinically approved planning protocol containing seven planning goals (PGs). Three PG weights were navigated per plan (rectum Dmean, bladder Dmean and PTV conformality) with all other weights held constant at a value assigned in the original clinically approved protocol. Statistically significant differences were observed between participants for all PG groups except bladder Dmean. However, dosimetrically the PGAP system mitigated the majority of discrepancies in deviations at the calibration stage with few statistically significant dose-volume metric differences observed, none of which were clinically significant.
