The prostate gland plays an important role in male reproduction, and is also an
organ prone to diseases such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate
cancer. The prostate consists of ducts with an inner layer of epithelium
surrounded by stroma. Reciprocal signaling between these two cell compartments is
instrumental to normal prostatic development, homeostasis, regeneration, as well
as tumor formation. Hedgehog (HH) signaling is a master regulator in numerous
developmental processes. In many organs, HH plays a key role in
epithelial-mesenchymal signaling that regulates organ growth and tissue
differentiation, and abnormal HH signaling has been implicated in the progression
of various epithelial carcinomas. In this review, we focus on recent studies
exploring the multipotency of endogenous postnatal and adult epithelial and
stromal stem cells and studies addressing the role of HH in prostate development
and cancer. We discuss the implications of the results for a new understanding of
prostate development and disease. Insight into the cellular and molecular
mechanisms underlying epithelial-mesenchymal growth regulation should provide a
basis for devising innovative therapies to combat diseases of the prostate.
