Figure 3

Effect of various CT-SPRT regimen on sustained prostate ablation. Diagrams depicting experimental design to assess the effect of: (a) Condition 1, post-castration testosterone-induced prostate regeneration; (b) Condition 2, effect of CT-SPRT on the castrate prostate prior to exogenous testosterone-induced regeneration; and (c) Condition 3, the effect of short pulse (2 days) of exogenous testosterone prior to CT-SPRT on the castrate prostate, then testosterone-induced regeneration. (d) Quantification of post intervention prostate weight (Top Left), epithelial cell number (Top Right), relative luminal epithelial cell (CD24+) contribution (Bottom Left), and relative basal epithelial cell (CD49f+) contribution (Bottom Right). n = 4 to 5 mice per condition. Castration-Regeneration = C-Regen (Condition 1); Castration-CT-SPRT-Regeneration = C-CT-SPRT-Regen (Condition 2); Castration-TestosteronePulse-CT-SPRT-Regeneration = C-T-CT-SPRT-Regen (Condition 3). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ****P < 0.0001. Error bars indicate SEM.
