Summary Prostate cancer ( PC a) is one of the most common male malignancies in the world. It was aimed to investigate differential expression of inflammatory and related factors in benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH ), prostate cancer ( PC a), histological prostatitis ( HP ) and explore the role of Inducible nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS ), ( VEGF ) Vascular endothelial growth factor, androgen receptor ( AR ) and IL ‐2, IL ‐8 and TNF ‐α in the occurrence and development of prostate cancer. RT ‐ PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression level of iNOS , VEGF , AR and IL ‐2, IL ‐8 and TNF ‐α in BPH , PC a and BPH + HP . Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining were used to detect the protein levels of various proteins in three diseases. The results showed the mRNA and protein levels of iNOS , VEGF and IL ‐2, IL ‐8 and TNF ‐α were significantly increased in PC a and BPH + HP groups compared with BPH group ( p < .05), while the AR was significantly lower than those in PC a and BPH + HP groups ( p < .05). There was no significant difference in the mRNA and protein levels of iNOS , VEGF , AR and IL ‐2, IL ‐8 and TNF ‐α between PC a and BPH + HP groups ( p > .05). iNOS , VEGF , AR and IL ‐2, IL ‐8 and TNF ‐α are involved in the malignant transformation of prostate tissue and play an important role in the development and progression of Prostate cancer (PCa).
