Abstract

Significance: Inflammation promotes the initiation of various malignancies by inducing genetic and epigenetic changes. Here we show that bacterial infection-induced prostatitis results in microenvironmental changes that enhance the differentiation of prostate basal cells into luminal cells, a cellular process that rarely occurs under normal physiological conditions. Previously, we showed in a mouse model that disease initiation for prostate cancer with a basal cell origin requires and is limited by basal-to-luminal differentiation and that prostatic inflammation induced by bacterial infection accelerates disease initiation by enhancing basal-to-luminal differentiation. Collectively, our results show that inflammation-induced microenvironmental changes alter the prostate epithelial lineage differentiation program, and we propose this alteration as a distinct and complementary process through which inflammation promotes tumor initiation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
