Stem cells are believed to regulate normal prostatic homeostasisand to play a role in the etiology of prostate cancer and benignprostatic hyperplasia. We show here that the proximal regionof mouse prostatic ducts is enriched in a subpopulation of epithelialcells that exhibit three important attributes of epithelialstem cells: they are slow cycling, possess a high in vitro proliferativepotential, and can reconstitute highly branched glandular ductalstructures in collagen gels. We propose a model of prostatichomeostasis in which mouse prostatic epithelial stem cells areconcentrated in the proximal region of prostatic ducts whilethe transit-amplifying cells occupy the distal region of theducts. This model can account for many biological differencesbetween cells of the proximal and distal regions, and has implicationsfor prostatic disease formation.

Key Words: prostate; stem cells; slow-cycling cells; branching morphogenesis; prostate regeneration
