Monocyte chemotactic protein‐1 (MCP‐1/CCL2) is associated with prostatic growth dysregulation and benign prostatic hyperplasia

Abstract

Chronic inflammation is commonly observed in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate tissue often contains increased inflammatory infiltrates, including T cells and macrophages. Cytokines are not only key mediators of inflammation but may also play important roles in the initiation and progression of BPH.
