Neutral Endopeptidase (NEP) is a cell surface enzyme that cleaves and inactivates neuropeptides. When present on androgen-dependent prostate cancer (PC) cells, NEP inactivates growth stimulatory neuropeptides. After androgen ablation NEP expression decreases and neuropeptides can enhance cell growth, leading to the development of androgen-independent, neuropeptide stimulated PC. Aim of the study was to analyse the expression, localisation and distribution of NEP in benign and malignant prostatic tissues and its relation to the cytoskeleton.
