| Abstract | The detection of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSM) mRNA in the peripheral blood of prostate cancer patients by a nested reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay is a useful and sensitive method for the identification of small foci of metastatic lesions. In this study, a nested RT-PCR assay was performed using the two different PSM-derived oligonucleotide primer sets reported by Israeli et al. and Loric et al. (termed PSM primers-1 and primers-2, respectively, in this report), and the differences in the specificity and sensitivity of these primer sets for detecting prostate cancer cells in the blood are discussed. The PCR assay using PSM primers-1 showed DNA bands for 4 of 7 cases of metastatic prostate cancer and amplified the untreated genomic DNA, while that using PSM primers-2 showed 6 bands without the amplification of the genomic DNA. In conclusion, PSM primers-2 is superior to PSM primers-1 for the detection of PSM mRNA in the peripheral blood of prostate cancer patients. |
