Background: The inflammatory reaction pathways have impact on tumor cells development or anti-tumor responses. Both by the activity of the innate and acquired immune response signalling pathways. A proper acquired immune response is considered as anti-tumor. While inadequate innate or acquired stimulation of the immune system can cause chronic inflammation that can lead to oncogenesis. Numerous reports have revealed a relationship between chronic prostatitis and prostate cancer (PCa). The aim of the study is to retrospectively assess the histological material of PCa with the Gleason grading score. The histological material evaluated the level of inflammatory factors of pathways initiated by IL-17A and IL-17F. The evaluation of the expression of pro-inflammatory factors such as IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-17RA, IL-17RC, AKT1, EBPbeta, TRAF 6 and NF-kB made it possible to assess the influence of the inflammatory process on the progression of PCa. Methods: Studies were carried out on archival tissue material in the form of paraffin blocks of 40 men with PCa after radical prostatectomy. The control group of 10 men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The material was obtained by the transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The immunohistochemistry was performed on the material prepared in this way using specific primary antibodies against IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-17RA, IL-17RC, ACT1, TRAF-6, C/EBPbeta and NF-kB. The expression of the antibody to be examined using the light microscopy and the Remmele Stegner score (IRS) in cancer staining were then evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: In statistical analysis, it was shown that the inflammatory pathway IL17A/IL-17RC/TRAF6/NF-kB occurs in both BPH and PCa. IL-17 RA did not show expression in any group of patients and in the control group. In addition, along with the increase in the grading of Gleason score, a decrease in the expression of the tested inflammatory parameters was demonstrated. Conclusions: The inflammatory process has an impact on the cancer of prostate cancer. There is a correlation between the grades according to Gleason score and the level of expression of inflammation parameters. Activation of the inflammatory pathway through IL17A/IL-17RC/TRAF6/NF-kB cascade could correlate PCa development on the base of BPH. Evaluation of the inflammatory pathway in PCa, the initiated IL-17, may become a starting point for further research on an attempt to use, for example, immunotherapy in PCa.
